Twelve

(ep 4 pt 5)

My duffel bag was still in the basement but I figured showering wouldn't hurt. It had been days since I was clean. My clothes were starting to smell and I started to care about my appearance the second Eddie and I kissed.

Steve promised he would keep watch in case my parents came home early.

I got into the bathroom and peeled off my clothes. They felt sticky and gross.

My skin had a thin layer of dirt on it and I turned on the shower gratefully.

The water was warm and I could see the water turning a gross shade of brown beneath me. I lathered up my hair with shampoo and scrubbed my body so much my skin stung.

I could still kind of feel Eddie's hands on me. His fingers intertwined in mine. His hands wrapped around me. His hair brushing my cheek softly.

He was literally the type of guy you'd fall for in some crazy romance book. Perfect hair, crazy good looks, multi-talented.

I finished up in the shower and dried myself off. I got dressed in comfy clothes which was like the same outfit I just had on, but with a blue button up flannel, a Beatles shirt, and black jeans instead.

I used some Farrah Fawcett spray when my hair was starting to dry. Steve gave that to me for Christmas since he claimed I deserved more voluminous hair.

I made sure that my waterproof eyeliner was on and then put my dirty clothes at the bottom of the hamper so my parents wouldn't be suspicious.

I opened the door quietly and listened for any voices before slipping out and running back downstairs.

I grabbed my duffel bag and looked at the guys sitting on the couch. They were all staring at Max.

"What the hell are you creeps doing?" I whispered, snapping them out of their freaky ogling.

Steve looked up at me and his eyes went straight to my hair. He nodded at me in approval before motioning to Max.

She turned her head to the side.

"I know you guys are staring at me," Max told us.

"What, sorry?" Steve grabbed a ball and threw it in the air.

"You said you needed something?" Lucas read a newspaper upside down.

"Just hanging out." Dustin was staring at one of Holly's empty coloring books.

I stared at my idiots on the couch being dumbasses. 

"How do you think your eyes boring into the back of my head is protecting me from Vecna, I don't know," Max turned around on the chair and stood up walking towards us.

"To be fair, Max, I was busy not being a creep," I said as Max stood next to me.

"You can look at me now," Max told the guys.

They apologized and then looked at the stack of letters Max held in her hands.

"For you," She gave Dustin his letter. He took it slightly confused. "For you," Steve was given his and he gave Max a small smile. "And, um, you." She gave it to Lucas. "Oh, and, um, give these to Mike, El, and Will.

Dustin began to open his which panicked Max.

"Hey, woah. What are you doing? No, don't. That's not for now. Don't open it now," She instructed them.

"Don't? Okay," Dustin replied. "I'm sorry. What is this?" He asked.

Max looked uncomfortable. "It's um, it's a failsafe. For after. You know, if things don't work out."
