MAXS POV:
I wake up slowly. Bright lights not letting me opens my eyes fully. Where am I? I thought to myself. I manage to open my eyes fully and I notice El sitting next to me crying with her face with her hands but I can see her shirt wet from the tears. "E-El?" I managed to say.

She puts her head up quickly as she heard my voice and instantly hug me. "Where am I?" I asked El "what happened?" I continued. I heard her take a deep breath "you died for a minute but I revived you" she said with a shaky voice "h-how? And why did I die?" I asked again "how did you revive me?" I continued "I can heal ppl with my powers" she answered one of my questions at first but then paused. "How did I die El?" I asked again hoping for an answer.

"your body got weak. Bc of all the pain your breathing slowed down and you weren't able to breathe so much. That caused your heart to stop until I managed to make it start beating again but you weren't waking up cuz your brain was still not fully working yet...you were supposed to be in a coma for a long time but by some miracle you're awake now."

After she finished her sentence a nurse walked in and gasped when she saw that I was awake. She ran out to get a doctor to examen me and thankfully I was fine, I only had the bruises Neil left on my body.

The door opened again and I saw the Chief Of The Police Department. Chief Hopper. El's dad, well adoptive dad. El's eyes went wide as she ran and jumped on him pulling him into a long tight hug. "Alright that's enough hugging kid" he said in a sweet gentle voice. "Sorry dad" el apologized "it's okay kid". He didn't seem as bad as he did before. He seemed like he cared about El "I thought you and mom moved back to California" El said in a confused tone "we were going to move back but then decided not to. Hawkins is our home. We were born and raised here. And all your friends are here so we decided that we aren't going to move anymore and stay in Hawkins...our home." He answered El's question.

'I wish my dad was like that' I thought. 'El is lucky to have a dad that loved her and cared for her, doesn't matter if he's her adoptive or real dad, he still loves her and cares for her. He cares about her opinion and how she feels about moving. My dad doesn't even care about me. He never did. He left me and my mom and he threw us like we were a piece of garbage.'

I don't know how long I was stuck in my thoughts for but I was soon brought back to reality by a worried El "he threw you away like garbage?" She asked. 'How'd she know? Has she been reading my thoughts?' I thought. "Yes I can read your mind. I still can't quite control it yet so I accidentally read your mind. What do you mean he threw you away like garbage?" El asked again. I don't want to talk about it. "Okay but if you want to talk about it I'm here" she spoke up again, I simply smiled at her.

I was soon released from the hospital and had to go back to my house cuz they had 'no real evidence' that Neil did this to me even tho it was obvious and even El told them that she saw him. Police officers are dumb. Thinking we had made up that it was Neil who beat me up even tho I had bruises all over my body as proof. When I went back home I was alone again. El had to move back with her parents now that they were back in Hawkins. I was all alone in this cruel world. The only time I didn't feel alone was when El and I hung out. One day, after I came back home from hanging out with El, Neil was waiting for me. I could tell he was drunk.

⚠️ ABUSE WARNING (AGAIN)⚠️

He removed his belt and started beating me up again. But this time he did it harder. It was more painful than before. I screamed in pain so loudly hoping someone would hear me and call the cops since no one was home except for him and I. "HELP ME! PLZ! ANYONE! HELP!" I screamed as he hit me with his belt. Suddenly his hand froze in the air and wasn't able to move it. He got so confused it made me want to laugh despite all the pain.

"Keep. Your. Hands. Off. Of. Her." I recognized that voice more then anything. El. She heard my screams. I had also heard two other male voices. Hopper's and Billy's. He was caught. He was finally caught. Suddenly, everything went black.

I don't remember anything after that moment. But I woke up in a room, it wasn't a hospital room, it wasn't my room, but I've seen this room before. It was El's room.

I sit up and look around me but I didn't find anyone. But then the door opens and El walks in with a wet wash cloth in her hand. "Hey you're finally awake." She said as she walked over to me "this may hurt a little so hold my hand and squeeze as hard as you want if I hurt you okay?" She said to me I nod and she starts cleaning off the blood on my bruises.

I squeeze her hand a little bit when I felt pain. All my bruises were bleeding again, even the ones that were old because he also hit me on my old bruises causing them to bleed again. She looks at me asking for permission to take off my clothes so she can clean the rest. I nod hesitantly afraid someone is gonna walk in and see me naked. She starts to remove my clothes and continued cleaning the bruises.

My worst fear came true as someone walked into the room. El then covered my body with her blanket so quickly. She turned around and saw Joyce "I'm sorry I didn't know she was awake. Hold on. Is she naked?" Joyce asked "yes mom, she is naked I was cleaning her bruises." El replied "okay I'll leave you two alone but no funny business" Joyce continued "mom don't worry she can barely move her body how do you expect her to...you know" El answered her mom.

Joyce left the room leaving me and El alone again and El continued to clean off my bruises as I squeezed her hand harder and harder as I felt pain. When she finished she helped me put my clothes back on and cuddled up next to me.
