els pov!
the day went by GREAT. we shared presents, had lunch, group secret Santa as well, and we watched movies! not just any movies, CHRISTMAS MOVIES!! YIPPEEEEE!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
anyways, max and I are going to hang out back at her house. yay!
hopper was spending the day with Joyce, which means that I can't ask hop to drive us to max's. so we have to walk, but thats okay! we'll just be carrying some bags with presents. in the cold. but at least ill have max with me!
------- time skip *max's house* :)
max and I cuddled on her bed, I noticed max's freckles were beginning to lighten, which.. is weird?
"Max where are you freckles going?" I ask.
she opens her eyes and giggles.
"they'll come back in the summer or spring, whenever it gets sunny again!" max explains.
"oh, they're pretty."
max smiles, then frowns.
"what's up?" I ask.
max sits up, so I do as well.
"Im sorry el."
"hm?"
"I might be... moving back to California."
I stayed silent and stared into her eyes. I was waiting for her to say "i'm joking!"but I could tell by staring into her eyes that it wasn't a joke. "what..?" I question. tears started forming in her eyes.
"I don't want to ruin christmas.., i'm sorry." tears streamed down max's cheeks.
I didn't know what to say.
max looked down into her lap and starting fidgeting with a loose thread on her sweater.
"you should've told me." I say, sadly.
"I know I should've, but I was scared."
"Why?"
max shrugged her shoulders.
"i'm sorry."
"don't be sorry. it's not your fault." I say, max looks back into my eyes.
something about those eyes made my eyes fill up with tears.
"my mom wants me to finish this school year in Hawkins." max says with a shaky voice. I can tell that she is very upset.
tears began to stream down my face, next thing I know- were both crying messes and hugging each other tightly, never wanting to let go.
"I love you." she whispers to me.
"promise me you'll always love me. even if you're in California." I say, with a shaky voice.
"I promise." she says, pulling away from the hug and staring into my eyes.
thats when I knew it for sure, she promised me. i can trust her to keep her promise. Max mayfield is the girl I want to grow old with.
