Max/Sadie imagines

After the final battle

It's been almost a year since the final battle. You and Max haven't spoken since the final battle. Since El, Joyce, Will and Jonathan moved away. And that's because she shut you away after everything happened.

She just doesn't speak to you. You haven't gotten over it.

After the battle, things inside you changed. You started feeling ill almost all of the time. The flayer slashed you and some of it's stuff got into you. So you spent a lot of time in the hospital and after that, you haven't spoken.

And now it's almost Spring break. 2 days away. You're just sat in front of your locker drawing, listening to some music.

Max is just walking through the halls and she sees you. You're just taking a pill. She knows you have to take 4 a day for the pain. 1 every hour. She also knows the doctor upped your dosage because they weren't benefiting you in the slightest.

She only knows that because she over heard you telling Dustin. Your best friend.

You look up because you feel a pair of eyes staring holes into your head. You look at her and make eye contact. You look back down and she walks over to you. She sits down next to you and looks at what you're drawing. You're drawing the Demigorgan and the Demidogs.

"You still have nightmares too?"

You look at her and pause your music.

"What'd you say?"

"You still have nightmares? About it all?" Max asks.

You nod.

"Do you?" You ask.

She nods.

"I'm sorry about what happened to... him." You say.

"What happened, happened. Nothing can change it. It's been a while since we spoke though." Max says.

"Yeah.... i know..."

"I've missed talking to you..."

You stay quiet.

"I'm sorry... for shutting you out. We needed each other at that time and after they left, i shut you away. More so when you needed me." She says.

"You did what you needed to at that time to help get over... it. And if you needed that time for yourself, then you needed that time. So I'm not upset with you." You say.

"You're not?"

You shake your head.

"You know I've always understood what you're going through. Worst comes to worst, we need to put ourselves first. And you did that. For yourself." You say.

"But you were in the hospital. You could've died and I'd have lost another person because of that.. final battle thing and then I'd be worse off than i am now." Max says.

"No matter what would've happened to me, i would've never been annoyed or pissed with you. Cos no matter what, i would've known that i still love you." You say.

She bites her lip and looks down.

"You still love me?"

You nod.

"I never stopped in all honesty. I haven't gotten over you either. But if you dont want to go back there with me it's fine. You dont have to worry about like.. upsetting me or anything. It wouldn't like... hurt me anymore." You say.

She looks at you. She puts a hand on the side of your face and brings you into a soft kiss. You close your eyes and kiss back. She pulls back first.

"Do you want back what we had?" You ask.

She nods.

"Yeah. I really do." She says.

"So do i." You say.

"Then we can have it back. Cant we?"

You nod.

"We can have it back." You say.

She smiles a little and you both just sit there catching up on what you've missed from each other's lives.
