Broken Hearts ~ Stranger Things s4 fanfic (DISCONTINUED)

Forced friendship

~El~

Watching Max drop to the floor made me panic. I ran towards her instantly. "Max!" I yelled, before getting to her and kneeling down. Beside me, the short black haired one had also ran over. She looked down at Max, her eyes widened. "Someone help her!" She shouted. Lucas ran over to us, clearly panicking. "Bring her to the lab." Mike stated, no emotion in his voice. I nodded once before trying to pick her up. "Let me."  Hissed Max's friend. I think her name was Amaira... or Amira? 

"She's my friend, I should be the one to help her." I replied, narrowing my eyes. "Are you really her friend? Last time she talked about you, she wanted nothing to do with you." She snapped. My eyes widened as I thought about that. She wants nothing to do with me? Is this because of the kiss? She was the one who kissed me. It can't be that. Maybe she just doesn't like me anymore. Or maybe Amira was lying to my face. I'll ask Max once I get her to the lab safely. I grabbed Max by the waist before slinging her over my shoulder. I stumbled a bit under her weight but Lucas helped me straighten up.

I was a bit weak but I managed to bring her to Dustin's car. He wasn't saying anything as he got in the driver's seat. He seemed really mad but I didn't bother asking him about it. I got in the passenger seat as everybody went to their own cars. We all drove out of school, heading to the lab in silence.

After getting  there, Max was rushed off by some of the scientists, leaving us in the waiting room. I paced around the room, running a hand through my hair. I looked over to the Amira one who was picking at her nails. I went over, sitting beside her, letting out a loud sigh. "So you guys are the reason she seems happier lately, huh?" I asked her. It was true. Ever since I saw her with Amira and the two guys, she's seemed happier. She used to look like that with me. I focused back to Amira, not wanting to think about the fact I might have lost my closest friend without realising it. "Yeah, we treat her better than you ever will." She said defensively.

"I'm glad. She seemed really depressed for a bit after Mike decided to 'kick her out'." I told her, being completely truthful. "Why did he do it then?" She asked me. I shrugged, not really knowing how to answer. "Well whatever. Just stay away from us after this. We don't want more trouble." She replied before getting up and walking towards Kurt. She sat beside him, putting a hand on his back to comfort him.

I watched them in silence, feeling a bit jealous. Mike then walked up to Kurt, looking a bit ill. "Hey uhm.. I'm sorry about the uh-" He tried to say, stumbling over his words before Kurt cut him off. "Don't talk to me." He growled at him. Mike sighed before sitting down in a seat by himself. I sat there in silence, not really knowing what to do. Dustin and Lucas were arguing in hushed whispers about something. 

Eventually a doctor came in and said we were allowed to visit. I got up, walking to the room, almost running. When I ran in, Max was sitting up on a hospital bed. She had a bunch of wires and things attached to her. She seemed really pale and frail. Amira and I rushed over to her side, asking questions at the same time. She laughed at us before waving us away. "I'm fine, relax." She said, smiling. "Well what happened?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulder before telling us that the doctors had no idea what had happened to her. "But they want me to stay here until they find out what's wrong with me." She said. 

"Well then we'll stay with you!" Amira replied, taking a seat beside Max's bed. "Where's Stan?" Kurt asked her quietly. "He's in the next room over but I'm pretty sure he's still asleep." She replied. He nodded before walking over. "You keeping up?" He asked. "I said I'm fine." She replied, sighing. Mike  stepped up to the end of the bed, getting serious. "You said the gate was open. Explain." He demanded. "Can you give her a rest? She just woke up!" Amira told him, seemingly frustrated. "What even is this 'gate'?" Kurt asked, raising a brow. Shit. I forgot they had no idea about everything that happened. People knew something happened but nobody apart from the party knew what was actually happening.
