How Could Cupid be so Cruel - Elmax

3. I'm A Weirdo

Maxs pov(I'm going to swap to pov for the rest of the story I'll let you know if u switch to narrator)

I was telling Eleven a story but about halfway through it I noticed something strange, El was smiling and lisining intently, I found this very weird seeing as El never really spoke to me before but know that I thought about it El never spoke to me because Mike wouldn't let her. I thought about the time at the arcade when El was watching me play dig dug and I asked if she wanted me to show her how to play but Mike interjected pulling her away events like this had actually happened quite often, now that I noticed it I knew El never hated me and that filled me with joy. "Max.... Max.. Max!!" El said waving her hand in front of my eyes snapping me back to reality. "Sorry sorry, zoned out a bit there." I replied hastily "you don't have to apologise. We're putting on a movie now or I should say arguing about what to watch." El said with a smile.

"Alright are choices are Halloween, goonies or Indianna Jones." Dustin said to the group "we'll have a vote, I say halloween." Lucas announced with a grin towards me he knows I like it but I'm worried he thinks I'll play the stereotype of the scared girlfriend cuddling with her boyfriend, cause of this I vote for Indianna Jones along with El. Will votes for goonies, Mike who must have been informed on the plan earlier votes halloween and Dustin does too acting as their wingman. "Halloween it is" Mike says happily "El come over and sit with me" he says with a smirk confirming my suspicion Lucas then does the same thing right after him inviting me to sit with him, noticing he sitting on a chair not a couch I respond with "I'm alright don't want to be poked through the movie." The rest of the boys erupt into laughter Lucas tries to laugh with them but is going red from embarrassment and El looks really confused and leans into me and asks "what's so funny?"
"I'll explain later." I say to her with no intention to, she nods but instead of sitting back up or cuddling with her boyfriend just on the other side of her, she stays with her head on my shoulder. This gave me a strange tingle in the pit of my stomach.

The movie was put on and throughout the build up of it El kept on nuzzling her head further in my shoulder till the top of her head was touching my neck, the more she did this the faster my heart beat became I don't know why it did but it was so fast with no intention of slowing down. The main event of the film then happened the murders and the chase through the house once this started El wrapper her arms around me and kept on hugging tighter it started to hurt at one point but I wasent going to tell her to stop, my heart started beating faster I didn't even know it were possible it was so load El must be able to hear it, I don't know why this was happing, why my heart wouldn't stop, why it was so fast, why I had this strange feeling in my stomach that seemed to only grow in intensity the faster my heart went and finally why it made me feel good and guilty at the same time.

I was so lost in my toughts I didn't realise it was the last scene in the movie but when I snapped out of it the credits started to roll, everyone started talking about what they thought of the movie but I looked down at El and softly and quietly asked the sweet brunnette "Are you okay? The movies over know no need to be scared." she looked up at me still clutching onto my waist "yeah I'm okay now... h-he isn't real r-right?" she whispered the last part looking at me with worried gorgeous chocolate brown eyes you could get lost in. "No no he isn't real just a movie charecter." I told her with a chuckle to try make her feel better, she still seemed scared though so I put my arm around her back and brought her closer then she all ready was which I didn't think was possible. We sat like that for a bit talking to the boys Lucas didn't seem mad his plan failed but Mike had a sour expression on his face for the rest of the night.

After an hour or two of talking El fell asleep on my shoulder and the boys all got sleeping bags and went to sleep the moment their head hit the pillow, I hadn't changed into pajamas yet but I didn't want to wake up El so I rested my head on hers and went to sleep there.

Authors notes
This chapter was fun to write.
shorter then the last one but part of the last was supposed to be in this so they are essentially one big chapter
I hope you like the new pov style I think it works better for the type of story I'm writing
Best wishes
