Just the Two of Us | elmax!!

chapter 31

one blonde guy made the first move, he swung his arm at me and slapped me across the face.

"what the f-" I begin but im cut off by a guy with dark brown hair smacking me as well.

I try to fight back but the two boys hold back my arms, troy walks towards me and punches me right in the centre of my face, causing my nose to bleed.

I groan.

"how does this feel bitch?"

"let go!" I yell.

"No! i'm gonna get my revenge, remember at school when you humiliated me in front of EVERYONE? well i'm gonna make sure you pay, little gay."

shit, now what am I gonna do..

if I scream loud enough, maybe a neighbour will hear me.

"HELP!" I begin to yell, i'm cut off by troy's blonde friend covering my mouth.

troy hits me again, but I know I can free myself.

I bite the blonde guys hand, which made him take his hand off my mouth, I then kick troy in his... you know, and I begin to run. I don't know where to run, or who I can go to for help.

I just run and run and run down the street, what if.. I go to- no, its stupid.

i look behind me to see troy's little minions running after me, he's not far behind them.

one of them throws a rock at me causing me to fall, but.... I do get up and continue running.

that's when it hit me.

literally, one of those shits from behind me threw a rock at my head. but, also my great idea hit me.

at this point, who cares if my idea is stupid. I need help, and he's the closest option, he'll scare those shits away! STEVE!!

I fall to the ground and fall directly into a pile of mud, or something..

just my luck.

"shit.." I whisper to myself.

how did these stalkers find out where I live!?

oh shit.

maybe it was when I felt like I was being watched..?

whatever, that's irrelevant. I have bigger problems right now.

I get back up and here those shits laughing and yelling at me.

i'm actually pretty close to Steves, I turn the street and continue to run to the very end of the block. Steves house!

the two minions are slowing down, but troy is still speeding towards me.

he's quite slow, i'm already at Steve's, I really hope he can help..

I knock on the door but there is no answer, I proceed to ring the doorbell, which finally caught their attention. damn, troy isn't giving up.

someone opens the door, yes!!

robin!

"oh hey, red. what's up?" red is her little nickname for me, it's stupid but whatever.

i'm about to explain when troy yells my name, I turn around and he comes right up to me and gives me a big slap across the face.

robin gasps.

"OH MY-" robin yells

"OW! shit!"

"STEVE!" robin yells, he comes running from the living room with a juice box in his hands.

he imminently sets the juice box down and begins yelling at troy, who is now yelling at me. saying really shitty things.

"HEY, BOY. GO BACK TO MOMMY AND STOP PICKING ON KIDS BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET SHOWN AFFECTION AND LOVE AT HOME AND YOU'RE JUST A INSECURE LITTLE FROG LOOKING ASS COWARD, LEAVE MAX ALONE OR WE'LL HAVE A PROBLEM. YOU HEAR ME?" Steve yells.

at this point, my jaw, and robins are wide open.

"hey, max come in. let me clean you up!..." she suggests.

we walk inside and she guides me to a washroom.

"sit." she says, pointing to the edge of the bath tub.

I sit down and she gets out a cloth, and wets it. she then begins to get out the first aid kit from the medicine cabinet, as well as some bandaids.

I can still hear Steve yelling at troy.

robin wipes off my face with the cloth.

"so... what did those boys want?" robin asks.

"revenge." I say,

"damn, red. what did you do?"

"uh, well, I punched that shit in the face at school once, cause he was being- never mind."

"oh, pretty badass." robin giggles.

I shrug my shoulders.

"you have a little bump on your head." she says.

"yeah, they threw a rock at me."

"oh?" she starts, "does it hurt?"

"not much, it's just my cheek and nose that hurt, I guess my head hurts a bit."

"wellll, you're in good hands."

I giggle.

"you might wanna change clothes..." robin suggests.

"where am I gonna get a change of clothes?"

"well, I brought a sweater you can wear and- I don't think I have any pants that would fit you, im just- taller! I think the sweater would look good on you, its dark grey with a navy blue striped trim and its overall really comfortable- all though it does have a 'R' on the back. a 'R' for 'Robin', of course!"

"okay, thanks."

"of course, red."

"uh, sorry if this is a weird question but.. are you and Steve-"

"OH MY GOD! NO- PLATONIC WITH A CAPITAL 'P'!!" she yells, but not in a rude way, more embarrassed or fed up, almost like she gets that question a lot.

"oh, right..."

"I could ask you the same thing, you and El?" robin giggles.

"WHAT! NO, we're just friends!, best friends...!" I blurt. my face is probably more red than my hair. I mean, I would tell her.. but she doesn't know about el and I yet. wouldn't want to risk it, plus. I don't know if she'd... support me.

"you know I like girls." she says, throwing me the sweater and walking out of the washroom, and closing the door. "really!?" I yell through the door as I change. "Yeah really! that's how I can tell you and el are, well! you know! can you be honest now!" she hollers back.

I open the door and look her directly in the eyes.

"okay, you're right."

robin smiles brightly.
