Just the Two of Us | elmax!!

Chapter 29

the car honks, but doesn't stop.

max quickly rolls off of the road into a snow-bank.

I hear a cracking noise, which worries me.

the car keeps driving.

I run up to max who is laying on her stomach in the snow, her face is buried in the snow as well, the car splashed slush all over max's back and legs, also in her hair.

"max!" I yell, you can hear in my voice that i'm worried.

max stands up, her face, legs, and hands are red from the cold, she brushes the snow off of herself and raises up her middle finger to the car.

she then rolls her eyes and looks back at her skateboard.

the car ran it over..

max walks up to it and picks up the broken board.

max sighs angrily.

she then walks back through the snow and climbs back through her window, throwing her wet and snowy socks off onto the floor.

she grabs some duct tape from her shelf and tried to tape it back together.

hey, at least I know what I can get her for christmas now.

her cheeks are rosy, and her hands are a bright red.

I put my hand over hers to try to warm her up.

at least she's not hurt.

I take off my blindfold.

-----

max's pov!

great, I almost got ran over and now my skateboard is ruined.

I usually skate to clear my head. but now I can't anymore.

at least I'm not dead, ew the thought of almost being ran over sends shivers down my body.

also cause i'm really cold.

I stand up and pick up some clean clothes, then I walk out of my room and into the washroom to take a hot shower.

I really miss el, and the rest of the part.

but mainly el.

I really could sneak out to see her, cause my moms at work most of the times i'm home.

but i'm trying to be a better child, I want to be respectful and obey my mom, things are tough for my family, I don't want to make it worse.

something has been bothering me lately.

something bad.

it's all I can think about recently.

my mom recently got a hold of my dad, he's willing to help us out with money, but we'd have to move back to California so he can see me, his daughter.

my mom actually might take the offer. I mean, she has nothing else here in Hawkins.

no reason to stay.

with Neil in prison, and billy- dead. she has no one to keep her here in Hawkins, except for me.

but I know she loves Neil still, even though he's a dick.

even though he almost killed me.

she can't leave him.

but she knows she has too,

i've had a week to think about the whole 'California' thing,

I miss my dad, but I don't want to leave el, I don't want to go back.

I begin to cry thinking about it,

stop crying, you're weak. I tell myself.

but that doesn't help things.

my mom is going to tell me if we're taking the offer tonight, and there's no way I can stay in Hawkins, cause then my mom won't be able to leave and get help from my dad if I don't go.

I hate everything, everyone.

why can't I just have a normal life?
