Elmax love story

Sick day 3 (pt2)

El's POV
While I was laying in bed, I heard yelling and a few minutes later, the front door slammed shut. I waited a couple minutes for Max to come back, but there was no sign of her. "MOM? HAVE YOU SEEN MAX?" I yell from my room. I hear footsteps coming towards my room and I assumed it was Max. But to my disappointment, it was my mom. "I'm sorry sweetheart but she went back to your house. Your dad kicked her out and she's not allowed here anymore" my mom tells me with an upset tone. I jump up from my bed and make my way to my parents' room.

I slam the door open with my powers and stomp inside. "What the actual fuck Hopper!" I yell. "Hey! Watch it!" He yells back. "Why did you kick Max out?!"  I yell again. "Cuz she broke your heart and made your mental health go down" he says. "And you think not allowing her to come back here ever again will make my mental health better?" I ask. "Well yeah" he says. "My mental health was finally getting better but now knowing that Max isn't allowed to come her anymore just made it worse. I'm going back home and you can't do anything about it" I say.

I storm to my room and pack my things. I walk out the front door and call Robin to take me back home. As soon as she arrived, I quickly got in and she drove me home.

When we arrive, I thank Robin and quickly get out of the car, making my way to front door and unlocking it. Once I do, I see Max on the couch, cuddling my pillow and crying. "Max?" I whisper. I hear her sniffle before looking up at me, a pained look in her eyes. "You came" she whispers. "Of course I did. Did you really think I was gonna stay home after Hopper kicked you out and banned you from ever coming back there? Hell no. I would rather stay with you than stay back there" I say.

I walk over to her and pull her close. "I love you so much" she says. "I love you more" I say. I sigh and stroke her soft red hair. "It's okay baby. It's okay. I'm here now and I'll never leave your side" I say calmly. I start to feel nauseous once again but I ignore the feeling and pull Max closer to me.

"El, I can hear you insides doing a backflip. Go throw up you'll feel much better" Max whispers. "But I don't wanna leave your side" I whisper, now feeling the nausea getting worse. "El, I can tell you need to go. It's okay" max says. By now, I was to throw up. Max gets up, scoops me into her arms and takes me to the bathroom.

⚠️TW: VOMIT AHEAD⚠️

She sets me down and almost immediately, I start throwing up into the toilet. I feel my eyes start to tear up. I stopped throwing up and started crying. "Hey, no, don't cry my love. It's okay. Shhh. I'm here for you" Max whispers comfortingly. I start to feel sleepy and just lay in Max' arms. "Lemme clean you up love" Max whispers.

I nod and she takes a wash cloth and cleans me up. She gives me water and rinse my mouth and spit the water out. I fell back into Max' arms and we just lay there for a good few minutes until she decides to pick me up.

She takes me to our room and lays me down, tucking me in and kissing my forehead before heading to the door to leave the room. "No" I say weakly. "What's wrong sweetheart?" Max asks. I feel my face heat up at that nickname. "Stay" I manage to let out. I see her smile and slip into bed next to me. She pulls me close and rubs my waist gently. "You feeling better love?" She asks softly.

I nod slightly as I feel myself drift off into my dream phase due to her soft touch.

Max' POV
I watch as the sleeping beauty drifts off to sleep in my arms. Gosh I'm in love with this girl. I can't imagine where I would be right now if she wasn't with me. I start to feel sleepy too so I decided to take a nap. I was a light sleeper so if El needed anything, I would wake up immediately.

~Time skip~

I suddenly wake up to the sound of a loud thud. I look around and see El on the floor. She passed out. I should've known. El is known to be the only one that passes out when she gets sick. I run towards her and pick her up in my lap. I check for her pulse and its normal. I sigh with relief and pick her up. I lay her down on the bed and call someone.

Nancy: hello?
Me: nance, hi. Uhm, I need you to come here asap.
Nancy: what's wrong?
Me: well. For starters El passed out. And she won't wake up.
Nancy: oh. Oh my. I'll be there in 2 minutes.
Me: okay thank you.

I hang up and try my best to wake El up. "Cmon, El. Please wake up" I beg her. A minute later, I hear the front door open and slam and someone calling out my name. "Max?!" Nancy yells out. "Upstairs. Bedroom" I yell back. She runs upstairs and sees El between my arms.

"Oh shit" she curses under her breath. "You can wake her up, right?" I ask. "I'll try" she says. She looks around the room and sees our alcohol bottle. Rubbing alcohol. Not the drinkable one.

She gets a towel and wets it down with water and sprays some of the rubbing alcohol on it. She then dabs it on El's face a little and we wait a little bit before El shoots awake. "Hey" I whisper. "Wh-what happened?" She asks. "You passed out and I called Nancy for help" I say.

"O-oh" she stutters. "Why do I smell rubbing alcohol?" She asks. "Because that's how I woke you up" Nancy says. "Ohh. Ow" El whimpers. "You okay?" I ask. She tries to nod but ends up holding her head in her hands. "What's wrong El?" I ask, genuinely concerned. "M-my head. It hurts so much" she cries. I look back at Nancy and gets up to leave. "Where are you going Nance?" I ask. "I need to go home urgently" she says in a hurry. "oh..okay" I say. She runs downstairs and flies out the door.

Once she left, i run downstairs and get some medicine for El. I go back upstairs and given her the medicine. "It hurts so much, Max" El complains. "I know baby. I gave you a strong medicine, you will feel better soon, okay?" i say. She nods and lays her head on my lap.

I stroke her hair gently and she relaxes. I could tell she was really tensed up. I sigh and look up at the ceiling. "Are you okay?" El's sweet voice rings through my ears, pulling out of my thoughts. "Yeah. Just...thinking" I reply. "Are you sure?" she asks, obviously unconvinced. "Yes baby. Don't worry about me. You have other things to worry about" I say. "Like what?" she asks. "You're literally sick, El. You need as much rest as possible. Come here. You need more sleep" I say.

She nods and lays next to me. "Can we cuddle?" she whispers. "Yeah, of course" I say. I open my arms and pull her close to me. "I love you, El" I say. "I love you too" she mumbles into my chest. I smile and look up at the ceiling as she falls asleep. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.
