Max's pov
It was the day I could finally leave the hospital. My mom woke me up. I changed from my hospital clothes they gave me to normal ones.
I wore a casual brown sweatshirt with sweatpants. The doctor said its best I don't wear jeans or anything tight because of my wound. el was in the bathroom packing up the few things I've needed while I was in the hospital such as toothbrush and stuff.
I was putting my headphones in my bag and I was done. I didn't have many things anyway, cause obviously I was in a hospital. "hey everything is ready" el said coming out of the bathroom. I smiled when I saw her.
"okay thanks" I said smiling. She smiled back. "my backpack is ready too" I said. She nodded. "hold on to me" she said grabbing my arm. "babe.. I can stand" I said giggling. "yeah sorry" she said. "don't apologise for caring" I said resting my hand on her cheek, putting a piece of hair behind her ear
She smiled and nodded. Before closing the door I looked at the hospital room I've been staying for like a few weeks. "Bye bye stupid room" I joked chuckling as el hit my arm playfully. "Max!" she said. I laughed.
"oh sorry my apologies" I joked. "max we have to go and stop talking to the room, I know you'll miss it" my mom said sarcastically standing next to el. "haha so funny" I said
"alright let's go talk to the doctor he's waiting for us outside" my mom said. I groaned. "why do we have to talk to him? You literally talk to him almost every day" I complained. "maxine! The doctor said he wants to talk so we will" my mom sternly said.
I rolled my eyes. "let's go baby, it won't take long" el quietly said to me. My face softened as I nodded. I was still annoyed but el told me it would be alright. Just a talk I guess. We'll live.
"hello" the doctor greeted us with a smile. "hello" I responded. "how are you feeling?" he asked. I shrugged. "good I guess" I said. "does it still hurt?" he asked. "nope" I said. el looked at me knowing I was lying so did my mom I think
"are you sure?" he asked. "mhm" I said. "i know you're lying maxine, but don't worry you'll recover I'm just going to tell you what you'll have to do" he said smiling. Ugh. Haven't I done enough in the hospital?
"Of course you won't be able to join pe at school or anywhere. Just a little walk would help you" the doctor said. One of my favourite subjects is pe because I like playing sports a little. Well it's better than doing physics but I like it
"which means no skating" my mom added. "oh she skates?" the doctor asked. My mom nodded. "well, that is a for sure obviously no" he said. I sighed quietly. "and like I said try to wear comfortable clothes, not tight ones for your stomach, especially not jeans" he said. I nodded.
"that's it, I'll update you when we talk" he said smiling. My mom smiled at him. "will do doc, thank you" my mom said. "no problem" he said. "see you maxine! I hope recover soon, you're a strong girl" he said smiling trying to encourage me
Honestly the only person who keeps me going is el because that damn shot hurt a lot. Not just the time it happened obviously but the pain after. Taking medications, not being able to walk for the first 2 weeks and one of my personal is that I couldn't cuddle el. It sounds kind of stupid but I really missed cuddling her. Feeling safe in her arms
However, she was always, like always next to me holding my hand. She knew when I was hurting even though I tried to hide it so she doesn't get worried but she somehow already knows,she can tell I guess.
El makes me keep going and that is what happened and what's going on. I remember like the second day after I woke up, I was in terrible pain. It hurt so much that I started crying a little. I never cry when I get hurt because of injuries of my skateboard but this one was obviously completely different
And once again el was there for me. I didn't want to cry but I couldn't hold it in. I feel comfortable around el. I'm embarrassed of crying. El brings my soft side and I feel comfortable with her because I know she won't judge me for crying.
It's a great feeling knowing that someone is there for you. I couldn't ask for more. She gives me so much love it's crazy. And I love her a lot. I'm so in love I sound like a simp, I know
We walked outside the hospital and got into the car. El helped me get in carefully. We both sat on the back seats together. My mom in the drivers seat. "Wanna go somewhere max or do you want to go home rest?" my mom asked looking at me through the little mirror above her
I thought for a second. "what do you want?"i asked el. "I don't mind" el said. "can we go to the arcade?" I asked excitedly. "It's too loud in there, you'll get a headache" my mom said. I rolled my eyes. "come on mom I, missed it" I said. "you'll go there once you're relaxed, now you're tired.how about we go to drink coffee but you'll drink something else?" my mom said.
I didn't know what to say. I was clearly disappointed by her not letting me go to the arcade. "Okay fine" I said as I sighed. My mom started the car.
During the ride el rested her head on my shoulder as I rested mine on top of hers listening to the radio music. "baby?" I heard El's voice quietly speaking. "yeah?" I asked. She straighten up and turned to face me. "why did you lie to the doctor" she asked.
"uhh" I said thinking. She raised her eyebrow. "oh um, I just didn't want him to tell to stay there more if I told him I don't feel great" I admitted. She smiled softly. "maxie" she whispered chuckling a little
"what?" I asked chuckling too. "nothing, you just have to tell the truth sometimes" she said. I rolled my eyes playfully. "you would have done the same thing" I said. "maybe I don't know" she said laughing
"does it hurt right now?" she asked softly. "Just a little" I said. She smiled and rested her hand on my thigh making me blush hard and smile. "My strong girl" she said smiling softly, proudly I would say?
She then grabbed my hand. This time I rested my head on her shoulder, keeping our fingers interwined.
*later at the cafe*
We walked in. We noticed nick and his friends across the cafe. El looked at me and I looked at her. He noticed us and walked towards us
