El sat in silence for a few minutes, not wanting to move or talk or breathe or do anything. However, Will slowly opened the door, and immediately noticed how upset El seemed. Will practically rushed over to El, sitting next to her on the bed.

"El.. I was just in my room when I heard someone rushing out, I didnt think much of it at first but from my window I saw Max skating away, what.. happened?"

El looked over at will, and immediately broke into tears practically falling into him. Will held El as she cried, a look of confusion yet concern  across his face.

"I.. I dont even know what happened- It all happened so fast but, i feel awful." El gripped onto wills arm tighter when she said her next words. "We had- we had a moment. Then I- I completely ruined it. I kissed her. She doesn't like me Will, she doesn't! I don't know why you said she did I.. she didn't.."

El continued sobbing, hot bubbly tears streaming down her face.

"You- you said she did you said she liked me. You're a liar will! You lied to me!" El croaked in a sad fustration.

Will didn't really know what to say. "El.. El I wasn't lying. She does I don't know why that happened I swear."

El squeezed his arm tighter, but she never lifted her head or moved away from him. "You're a liar. I hate you! I hate you! I hate..."

Will put his hand on the back of her head. "Shhh.. It's okay El, it's okay... It's okay. You're okay."

Slowly, El's sobs got quieter and slower, until eventually they stopped.

"..I didn't mean it. Im sorry." she mumbled.

"I know."

El pulled away from Will, staring at the ground.

"I need to be alone for a bit, i'm sorry.." She sniffled.

"Okay." Replied will, he slowly got up and went out the door, slightly waving to her before he closed it.

And there she was. Alone, again.








Max sat on her bed, her eyes crusted and red from crying for hours a day. She felt so stupid.

god why did I do that? Why in hell did I do that? Now i'll never have a chance with El. I blew it. Why do i always ruin everything?

The girl was about to go look for her wonder woman magazines, when she remembered she left all her shit at El's house.

fuck.

Max flopped down onto her back, feeling a pressure start to rise in her throat and eyes. Her eyes began to water again, but she wiped it away.

I have to make this right. I need to make this right.

On impulse, Max grabbed her skateboard and started out the door.

The door opened, and Max saw Joyce open it.

"Oh hello, Max! Need anything?"

"No, just visiting El." She replied with a brief smile.

"Okay well, welcome in! Careful though, she's been a bit upset lately. She's only ever left her room like 3 times the past two days." Joyce concerned.

"Okay."

Max leaned her skateboard against the wall, and stepped inside to go to El's room. Upon arrival, she knocked on the door.

"Go away will." A voice called from the other side.

"It's um.. it's not will."

...

There was a pause, when the voice called back.

"Come in.."

Max slowly opened the door, and stepped inside the room. She kind of just stood awkwardly in the doorway for a few seconds, looking at El who was completely nested in blankets on her bed.

"Do you need your stuff back?" El asked. Max could hear a slight quiver in her voice, implying she was crying just a few moments prior.

"No.. well- yes but that's not the only thing I came for." Max responded.

When El didn't reply, Max inched over to her bed, sitting on the edge, the side closest to El.

"Listen I.. I didn't mean to leave like that. I really didn't and i'm sorry. I know it was.. shitty. It's just.."

"you dont like me like that."

"no, no no no! thats not it at all! I just got.. nervous and scared.. But El, I like you. A lot. I really really like you El."

Eleven peeked her head from the blankets.

"I love you El. I have for a long time."

Max layed down on the bed with El, slipping under the covers with her.

"You mean it?"

"I mean it."

El smiled. "It's okay, I shouldn't have just kissed you like that, I should have warned you or asked or something."

"El, its okay... I liked it."

"You did?"

"I did."

Max stared at El, looking deep into her beautiful eyes. El stared back. The ginger slowly tucked a lock of the brunnetes hair behind her ears. Max noticed that El's focus of vision switched from her eyes to her lips.
Max's heart fluttered, she felt butterflies everywhere.

This is it.

Max leaned in and kissed El, pressing her hand on the back of her head as their lips collided.

This was it. For both of them. Just a moment of pure bliss, all their troubles just melting away, dissolving into nothingness. Like everything was just them. Just them together.

They both broke away at the same time.

Neither of them spoke for a few minutes, just looked into eachothers eyes.

"Does this mean we are like.. dating?" Max asked the girl curiously.

"Yes. Yes it does." El smiled at her.

"Good."

El scooted closer to Max, wrapping her arms around the girl. Max did the same, they both layed there, safe in eachothers arms as eventually they both fell asleep. Soundly.
