found love in music

Surprise?

- El's pov -

'So Jane, how does it feel to win, again' he smiled. 'Yea uhm great' I said in the mic.

'So your song, it was beautiful, can we all agree' James said to the audience. They all cheered for a few seconds.

'Can we know for who it was?' he asked. I wasn't out to anyone yet. The only person who knew was Max. This was actually a perfect moment to come out. But I wasn't sure if Max was ready to come out so I stayed quite and just shrugged my shoulder.

'Oh, keeping it a secret? Can't we know the lucky guy?' Ha guy, only if he knew.

'Nope, it's a secret' I spoke in the mic. 'But I'm sure sh-they know it's about them' I said grinning at Max.

'Oh is that, is he in the audience??' he said looking at the audience. The head's in the audience all turned to one another, it was kinda funny to see. I was ready to come out, so I leaned to the mic and said. 'She is'.

I didn't know how they would react. But I soon as I said 'she' the audience went 'ohhhh' in a really interesting tone. It didn't sound like they thought it was a bad thing. I smiled and look at Hopper, he just raised his eyebrows at me and smiled back.

After some talking I walked back to my room. I was looking in the mirror being busy with my clothes. I heard the door open but didn't look who it was. Probably Hopper or Maddie or something. I then felt arm wrapping around my waist.

'Here is my super hot superstar' I looked in the mirror and saw it was Max. I blushed so hard rn. I love physically contact and she called me hot. I smile at her but she probably didn't see as her head was in my neck and shoulder.

She finally looked up and layed her head to mine. Max was pretty much taller than me. We smiled at eachother looking in the mirror. She turned her head to look at me and kissed my cheek. She then let go and sat in my fluffy and soft beanbag.

'Damn this shit comfy as hell' she said. I hated it when she curses and she knows it. I turned around to look at her and gave her the took ' Seriously '. She just smirked at me knowing I hated it.

'So what? You never cursed in your life?' she said laying in my beanbag with her legs open and her arm leaning open at the top of the beanbag. 'No I haven't' 'lies' she said putting a chip in her mouth. Where the hell came that from. I didn't saw her having chips when she came in one. I looked confused at them, trying to make any sense. She probably saw me looking as she said 'Want one?' Ofc I want one, how dare she to ask.

'yes definitely' she held up to bowl with chips. I walked up to her and tried to take one but she pulled the bowl away. I raised my eyebrows at her.

'First, say a curse word' oh c'mon she can't be serious right now. She held the bowl up to me again.

'Watch your next move. If you don't watch out I'm gonna stick my hand into your throat and go into your stomach and get all the chips you ate out.' I said in a serious tone. Max looked shock at me but then smirked. She shook the bowl wanting me to take one.

I tried to take one but she pulled it away she sighed and said: 'Not the way I hoped you would go inside but sure' and she ate chip. My eyes widened, what did she just say. Wait 'hoped'?! She said it like it was nothing. Oh my gosh, I felt my cheek heating up so fast, I probably look like a tomato. My mind was going crazy and she just sat there, so relaxed like she just didn't say she hoped I would go inside her.

She gave me a confused look as she ate.
'you good?' she said with her mouth full. 'Eat with your mouth closed' I said sharp. I saw I embarrassed her in a bad way. I felt kinda bad did I say something wrong. She slicked her chips and put the bowl away.

'Sorry' she said. She really sounds hurt. Why did she sound hurt. I was so confused at this. I smiled at her but she just gave me a weak smile back. I turned around for the mirror. She didn't eat any more chips, dang.

'Everything alright?' i ask. She just nods at me. 'I didn't mean to embarrass you if that's the case' she just looked at me but didn't say anything.

'Hey Max, I was just joking. I would prefer you to eat with your mouth closed but at that moment I just said it as a joke'

'I know, don't worry about it' she stood up, picked up the bowl and handed it over to me. She smiled and then tried to walk away. I quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her.

'Okay what's wrong?' I said sharply but in a worried tone.

'Just rough memories' she said. Max never talked about her home situation or family. I could never come if she wasn't alone. She was most of the time outside.

'I'm sorry I overreacted'

'No it's ok-'

She gave me a playful push. 'Now give me back my chips' she said as she took the bowl. 'Omg just give me already oneee' I begged.

'Not before you curse' she mocked. She went to sit back in the same position in my beanbag. She put the bowl on a table waiting for me to curse.

'I command you to give me one your in my room and i-'

'make me' she smirked. Oh she's so getting it. 'You have on chance to give me one or your so hard gonna regret it, say you'll give me one'

'Hmmmm.... no.' Oh that's it. I basically jumped on her trying to pin her against to beanbag. 'So you'll give me one' I say as we were half fighting. We fell out the beanbag straight on the floor.

After a while I succeed. I pinned her against the floor. My hands on her wrist.

'I'm gonna let you go, if you say I can have one' I say.

'No. I kinda like it this way' she smirked. Oh my gosh why does she have so much confidence. 'And I can get out whenever I want' she added. 'Okay try' I say. She gave me one final smirk. She rolled me over and we switched places.

'Told you, and it was easier then I thought' where tf did she get all this strength. I tried to get out but I just couldn't. Her knees were on the floor. After a minute she layed her legs on the ground and looser her grip. She gave me a soft smile and layed her head on my chest. She layed her hands on mine and slowly moved them to her back keeping my hands there. I didn't saw or feel where her hands went.

I was surprised. We were just fighting 1 minute ago. 'you seriously wanna cuddle on the ground with' I say. 'no' she chuckles. 'But I just need it right now..'

'Are you okay?' I ask.

'No'

'Wanna sleepover tonight at my house'

'yes' I could hear in her voice there were tears in her eyes.

She sat up straight again and I leaned against my elbows. She gave me a kiss and right on that moment Hopper walked in. Ofc.
