My pearl - Stranger things, Max Mayfied

5. Dig Dug

That night Vivvie had decided to tell Lucas about what happened earlier that day and they both planned to somehow tell Max the truth the next day and the rest of it they were gonna talk about the next day.

                        [...]

Vivvie had met with Lucas at his house and sat in his room, waiting for him to finish eating breakfast. She honestly doesn't know if his parents like her since she doesn't really do anything when she's there or even atleast say hi to his parents when she sees them, she's kinda shy around parents, exept for Joyce, so therefore doesn't really say anything to anyones parents if they don't say something first.

She can hear Lucas yell up the stairs for her so she hurries and runs down the stairs and they run to their bikes that are laying in his front yard. They then speed off to the arcade, where they are planning to tell Max since she goes there all the time, while going they hear Dustin's mom call for their cat "Mews! Mewsy! Mews!" Vivvie had almost felt sad, she loved that cat, it was probably the only cat that didn't hate her, besides her own.

                         [...]

They were both now just sitting in the backroom in silence waiting for Max to get there, until Vivvie broke the silence. "Hey Lucas." Vivvie called out.

Lucas turned to face her. "Do your parents like me?" Vivvie asked. She didn't want to but the question was killing her.

"Yeah they do. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know, they just seem like they don't like me."

"Oh." Back to silence.

Keith and Max come in the door, Max holding a bag on cheetos making Vivvie raise her eyebrow. After Max sees Vivvie she looks over at Lucas and they both just awkwardly smile. She walks into the room eyeing Vivvie while Keith says. "You better get me that date now, Sinclair, Harrington."

"We told you we would." Lucas replies, but Keith just cuts him off, putting his hand out and making a noise. "And keep things PG in here, all right?" Keith reminds us while winking at Max making Vivvie sigh and Lucas make a weird face. "Your so gross Keith" She says while Keith closes the door, ignoring her.

"What is this shit, stalkers" Max asked them, pissed off.

"Sorry. We just needed a safe place." Lucas said getting up.

"A safe place to what? Be creepy?" Max seethed looking in between Vivvie and Lucas.

"Listen. We're gonna tell you the truth about everything that happened last year. But if anyone finds out, you could be arrested." Lucas sighs. "Possibly killed."

"Killed?" Max asked like she didn't believe them. 

"I need to know. Do you accept the risk?"

"Oh, my God! This... this is to stupid." Max said while spinning in a circle

"Max. Do you accept the risk?" Vivvie asked getting pissed off.

Max looked at Vivvie and gave up. "Yeah. Sure. Fine. I accept the risk." Max put her skateboard down, sat down and crossed her arms over her stomach.

Lucas sat down and Vivvie put her elbow on his shoulder. "Let's here it." She was getting impatient.

"Last year..." Lucas started. "Will didn't get lost in the woods. He got lost somewhere else."

                       [...]

They told her. They told her everything that went on last year with Will, the truth about el, the upside down, about how Vivvie had also went into the upside down, and everything else that happened in November of 1983.
