A wounded soul (elmax story)

Chapter 6

Els pov

After that awkward encounter with Lucas I decide to go on a run. I need to lose a shit ton of weight before basketball season get serious. I change into shorts and a shirt and go outside to stretch. As I'm stretching I can feel myself getting a little light headed but, I thought nothing of it till I was lying face down on the concrete unconscious, halfway through my run.

Who knows how long I stayed there. All I know is I passed out during the day time and I was picked up around 8. Mike and max get me into the truck and start blasting the AC, giving me water, I mean they act like I was near death or something. "El, what in the actual fuck were you doing??" Mike says upset at me and I shrug. "I was going for a run Mike."  This just triggers a full blown screaming match.

"YOU COULDVE FUCKING DIED."

"WELL IF I HAD MAYBE IT WOULDVE BEEN CONVENIENT. I JUST PISS YOU THE FUCK OFF OBVIOUSLY."

"DONT PLAY THE FUCKING VICTIM EL. YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT YOURE DOING ALL OF THIS SHIT FOR MAXES ATTENTION. YOURE AN ATTENTION WHORE. YOU CRAVE THAT SHIT."

I reach across the console and grab him by his hair and tell him to pull over. I open my door and get out. I'll fucking walk.

"Ellie get in the truck." Max says getting out after me. "No" I say continuing my walk to the house. "I'm not gonna say it again." She says sounding a little more serious. I stop walking and turn around to face her and say "No." in the same stern tone. Then all hell breaks loose.

"ELEANOR GET INTO THAT FUCKING TRUCK BEFORE I PICK YOUR ASS UP AND PUT YOU IN IT MY FUCKING SELF." She yells at me walking closer.

"Maxine LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE." I yell back matching her tone.

I guess that was the last straw because she walked straight over to me lifted my ass up and threw me into the passenger seat. She slams the door and crawls into the back and just goes at it.

"LISTEN HERE. BOTH OF YOU. MIKE, YOU ARE A FUCKING DICK. YOU MAKE HER FEEL LIKE SHIT. SHE DOES EVERYTHING FOR US. SHE IS ALWAYS HERE. SHUT YOUR FUCKING TRAP AND STOP BEING SUCH A DICKHEAD. SHE WAS JUST RELEASED FROM A SHITHOLE OF A HOME. YOU DONT KNOW HER PAIN. LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE."

I chuckle a little and she turns to me.

"AND YOU. DONT BE SMILING. YOU NEED TO STOP BEING ALL "oh woah is me" WE KNOW IT SUCKED. WE KNOW. WE KNOW HOW HARD IT IS. HAVE EMOTIONS. FEEL. BUT DONT BE A FUCKING DICK TO GOD AND EVERYONE. WE HAVE FEELINGS TOO. YOU NEED TO REALIZE WE ARE HERE TO HELP. NOT TO HURT. I FUCKING LOVE YOU ELEANOR. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WOULD NEVER LET ANYONE HURT YOU."

I feel tears start to well up and I give her a hug. "I love you max. I love you so much." I whisper crying a little. She loves me back. "Please understand that you're safe with me. I love you. More than you think. More than anyone thinks. I love you love you." I feel butterflies swarm my stomach and I smile. "Thank you." I whisper pulling her in and kissing her. Fireworks. This might be cheesy, but literal fireworks. Our lips touches and it was like a spark ignited. "Alright, uhhhh guys. We gotta go" Mike says uncomfortable to the fact that we just nearly made out in front of him. We pull apart and both nod and she grabs my hand. "That..." she starts and I finish with "was amazing." She smiles and squeezes my hand in response. We drive silently to the wheeler household and walk in together. Immediately Mrs wheeler and Nancy are on me. "YOURE SO SUNBURNT." Nancy yells touching the side of my face aggressively. "DAWG. DONT TOUCH MY FACE WHEN ITS SUNBURNT" I yell laughing a little bit. She smiles and starts to rub her hands all over my face making me dramatically scream and run away. "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!" I yell sprinting up the stairs, by the end of this game of face tag, I have max, Mike, Nancy and Astro sprinting after me. This could be my forever home.

Finally I give up and lay on the guest bed laughing harder than ever. Max is laying cuddled up next to me, Mike and Nancy are sitting on the floor and Astro is chewing on the pillow. CHEWING ON THE PILLOW. fuck. "Astro! Knock it off" I say pushing her and she yelps after chewing a certain piece of the pillow. Fuck. "Astro, come here girl. What's wrong??" Nancy says patting her legs making Astro pout towards her. Max is already up and inspecting and I grab the pillow out of her grasp and start looking. Max turns around to look at Nancy and I slide the blade out and shove it in my waistband.

That was close.

"El, wanna eat some pizza?" Nancy asks grabbing her keys off the table.

I shrug and laugh a little "I dunno, I'm not that hungry. Are we all going?"

"Yeah, me you max mike and Jonathan. Maybe Steve if his dad lets him off work."

I laugh a little, "which one is your boyfriend nance?" She turns a shade of red and everyone bursts out laughing.

"Not funny assholes" nance says crossing her arms smiling a little.

"WATCH THE LANGUAGE" ted yells from downstairs. We all exchange a mocking look and nearly fall down laughing. "LAST ONE TO THE CAR EATS THE CORNER PEICE ON THE BROWNIE." Mike yells sprinting out of the room. We all take off towards the car and Mike falls halfway there. I jump over him and me and max made it before him. "Sucks to be clumsy, huh?" Max says laughing.
