"Y/n, you came!" El said as she ran up to you, grabbing you tightly and hugging you. You smiled and wrapped your hands around her, taking notice of the way her hair smelt like vanilla. El had the best taste in shampoos and conditioners, which was weird considering she had barely been out in the real world.

"Heyy, Y/n," Nancy came up to you, giving you a small side hug, "I'm surprised you showed up, especially with the way your headaches have been lately."

"Yeah, I just took some meds and decided I was fine. And plus, I promised Max I would come to the next little get-together or whatever," You sighed and rubbed the back of your neck. You knew the real reason why you've been cancelling on Max lately. You hated the way she made you feel. You hated how she made you feel all warm inside, especially since you tried so hard to not let yourself feel that way towards anyone. You hated the way it made your heart ache whenever you saw how pretty she was.

"You okay? If your head's hurting you again I can take you home," Jonathan offered. You were so zoned out that you didn't even notice him come up to you and Nancy, or that you had been staring at the ground for five minutes.

"Oh! Yeah, I'm alright, just a little tired," You said with a wave of your hand. Jonathan nodded as him and Nancy started to walk into the house, you following not too far behind. Suddenly, a figure in a Michael Myers mask and a knife came jumping out from around the corner. You jumped back, a small scream coming out of your mouth. 

"Jesus, I can't believe that still works on you," Max said, pulling the mask off. You playfully rolled your eyes, letting out a giggle. "Is your head feeling better?"

"Yeah," You nodded your head as you answered her.

"Guess I'm the magic cure then," She replied with her laugh. Her stupidly pretty laugh that made you feel like you couldn't breathe.

"I guess so, Madmax," You said with a smile, taking a seat on the couch. Max sat next to you, but there was something different this time. Usually you two sat a little far from each other, but this time she was right next to you. The sides of your bodies were pressed together as her fingers laid a little too close to yours. This sent you into a spiral of thoughts about her. There had been times when you would hold hands, but that was only at the carnival and because she was scared of the Ferris wheel.

(ONE HOUR LATER)

You and Max were talking as a jumpscare came on the screen and everyone jumped, including her. She grabbed your hand and held it tightly as your heart began to race. Immediately you thought of a way out of this situation.

"I'm gonna go get some water, you want any?" You asked her as you started to stand.

"Oh, I'll just go with you-"

"No!" You said, but it came out worse than you expected, "I just don't want the blanket to lose its warmth, alright?" You said with a dumb smile.

"You are so weird, Y/n, and I love you because of it." She said to you, shooting you a dumb smile as well. The last part of her sentence made your heartbeat go as fast as possible. Your body froze immediately, not knowing how to respond. You felt dizzy all of a sudden and your head started to ache again.
