Goodbye El. || Chapter 4.

Max's POV

The next day when I woke up, I immediately panicked as I bet the teachers definitely has been looking for Eleven and I for the entire day and my abusive step brother and step father is definitely gonna murder me when I get home. But having Eleven by my side at such a beautiful place, totally calmed my mind down.

"Max.. you're awake already?" Eleven sleepily asked while trying to get up from the grass we were on for the entire night.

"Mhm I just woke up as well." I replied while caressing Eleven's hair.

"I'm sorry that we slept out here last night instead of sleeping in the cabin comfortably. Anyways it's nice that your voice was the first thing I heard today." Eleven said with a cheerful smile and hugged me tightly as I blushed and smile comfortably. I can't believe the person that used to make my life a living hell, is now someone that I'm so in love with. I remember praying something bad will happen to Eleven a few years ago.

"Unfortunately, we would have to return back to school again." I said with a saddened sigh.

"Or we could come here everyday?" Eleven suggested.

"And skip school forever? Nah Billy and Neil would be so mad." I replied.

"Who is Neil?" Eleven asked curiously.

"My step father. He sucks too." I replied and laughed before we got up to get Eleven's car and drove back to school.

Max's POV

Before Eleven and I reached school, I got out of Eleven's car at the nearby bus stop and skated to school just in case Mike passes by.

When I finally reached school after ten minutes, I heard laughter from the lockers at the hallways. It was Eleven, Mike and their friends.

"Oh look! It's the bisexual freak!" One of their friends, Jason said and laughed loudly as I rolled my eyes and walked towards my locker.

I didn't care about anything these people said until I saw something that triggered me.

It was Mike pinning Eleven on the locker beside mine and all of their friends cheering joyfully as Mike slowly kisses Eleven. God I feel so disgusted and before I even know it, a punch landed on to Mike's face and it was me who punched him.

"Bitch! How dare a freak like you punch me! Do you know how much my face worth?! YOU BRAT!" Mike yelled and was about to punch me back until Eleven pulled him back and told him to stop as I do not worth the time. I immediately scoffed and stormed away down the hallways.

After I stormed away, I stayed in the girls bathroom the whole time and soon fell asleep. When I woke up, I realized it was already 6pm in the evening and the guards had already locked the school gates. Goddamn it.

Worse, my eyes were puffy and swollen from all that crying from what happened just now. I'm not sure if I was just overreacting but witnessing Mike and Eleven kissing, hurts more than anything in this world. Hurts more then when Billy took a knife and stab my arm back then. How and why did I fall so hard when Eleven and I has only been dating for five months and even worse, it was a secret relationship so when she's in public, Eleven is still that perfect and sassy straight 'homophobic' girl that's dating a homophobic millionaire boyfriend and not dating a bisexual freak that is disliked by many.

Suddenly, I received a call from someone. It was Will. Well, of course, why did I expected Eleven to be worried about me?

"Hey Will."

"Hey Max! Are you okay? I didn't see you in class just now, I'm worried as your best friend."

"Yeah I'm fine, I just wanted to be alone and skip classes."
