High off you - Byler

Chapter lV

Wills POV
AFTER THE BATH me and Mike were sitting on my bed staring at the wall across from us, our backs up against my wall. Silence.

"That felt unsanitary." Mike said turning his head towards me, smiling. "Yeah it did." I giggled, facing Mike. "At least my mom won't know we've been smoking though." I shrug. "Yeah." Mike smiles at me and I smile back.

We were still pretty high.

Mike looked into my eyes, then at my lips. It was silent, we weren't smiling anymore we were leaning in. Mike closed his eyes, so then I did too. Before I knew it our lips crashed. I felt Mike touch my face, one hand on my cheek. His hands were cold. I placed my hand on his chest. The kiss was getting deeper and deeper and before I knew it Mike hand his tongue pretty much down my throat.

We backed away for air, the room was very heated. Heavy breathing, and when we separated a long string of saliva connecting our lips. "I-" I started but then I heard my mom calling from downstairs. "Mike your moms here!!!" We just stared into each others eyes for a moment. But Mike got up picking up his bag. Before he left my room he said.

"Goodbye Will."

Not even a smile or a laugh, just so casual, so sad.

Before I knew it that was our last goodbye.

It's been a week, I haven't seen Mike, expects for at school but he's avoiding me. That kiss was wrong, we shouldn't have done that, it ruined our friendship. I hate that I can't hang out with him, every time I approach him he just walks the opposite direction. He hates me, and it's all my fault.

I shouldn't have kissed back, I should've been the responsible one. But alas, here I am, sitting at the docks, smoking, thinking about how this situation makes me wanna jump in that lake and drown.

"Whatcha' doing all by yourself Byers?" I hear a familiar female say. But just by the voice I can tell it's the red head everyone loves. She sits down next to me crossing her feet just above the water. I'm smoking a cigarette, thought it might calm my nerves.

"Can I have one?" Max said pointing towards the box I had sitting next to me. "Yeah." I pick up the box pulling out a cigarette, we should be smoking, but who's stoping us? Max places the cigarette in between her lips and I pick up my lighter and light it for her. "Thanks Byers." "No problem Mayfield."

The firey red head giggles. "We haven't hung out in awhile, just me and you, huh Byers?" "Yeah, not really, I've missed it for sure." I say taking a big huff of my cigarette. "I've missed it too." Max says leaning her head on my shoulder.

Me and Max got pretty close last year. We bonded pretty well, and I'd say we make a good team. We bonded over past father trauma, Max's father was abusive, so was mine, Max's father drank, so did mine, Max's father left her and so did mine. We have similar father figures.

Me and Max just click, she's really good at advise and she's very supportive. When I came out she could tell I was uncomfortable, felt like an outcast. So she told me she was bi and that I wasn't alone, and ever sense then we've just gotten closer.

"So, what did Mike do now?" Of course, she always knew what was bothering me. I sighed and took a deep breath in. "Well, we were smoking in my room and we were like REALLY high and we kissed. I don't know if I did something wrong, o-or he's mad, or im just crazy, maybe he's not trying to avoid me? Maybe he's just busy? Maybe I'm just ov-" I went way to fast trying to spit that all out. "Wowie, you need to calm the fuck down." Max giggled.

"Sorry." I sighed, I really do wonder what I did wrong. "It's just bothering me he's avoiding me. I just want our normal friendship back." I say leaning my head against Max's head. "Well, try talking to him?" "Tried that." "Oookay, try getting his attention by leaving a not in his locker?" Max whiffs her cigarette, soon coughing from ear to aggressive of a whiff.

"I could try, but he'll probably just ignore me. I shouldn't have kiss back." I can feel my eyes watering with warm tears. "It's not your fault don't worry, it's Mikes, he did this to himself and I hope he knows that he did." Max lifts her head up to look me in the eyes. I turn over and we smile at each other. Her smile is so forgiving.

Me and Max stayed at the dock pretty late talking. I decide it's best if we go home, we have school tomorrow. So we say goodbye and head in the opposite direction.

It's dark outside, it's quite creepy. It's cold, dark, quiet, and unsettling. I just wanna get home as fast as I can. I hear a slight rustle and that does it, I sprint. Out of fear and instinct from the upside down, I sprint so fast the the front door. I struggle a lot trying to find my key and unlock the door. When I do I shut and lock the door and run upstairs.

Today has been a long day. These past few weeks have been so tiring I can't wait to sleep. I get a shower and get ready for bed. Before you know it I'm falling on my bed. It's raining pretty hard outside so I fall asleep to the sound of the soothing rain.

I thought I would escape my problems, but that was until I heard a knock on my window.

Knock, knock, "Will?"
