Just the Two of Us | elmax!!

chapter 48

later we were eating cookies in my room, when we heard the door slam.

"MAXINE." i heard my mom yell.

"shit." i whisper.

"stay here." i say before getting up and grabbing my crutches and walking out of my room.

mikes pov!

so, we heard a lot of yelling.

like a lot.

max's mom definitely knows about the alice thing.

it was like 10 minutes after max walked out of the room, she came back, and slammed the door behind her.

she looked at us all.

she had tears in her eyes and her cheek was slightly brighter shade than the other.

"are you okay?" will asks, standing up.

"i'm fine." max rolls her eyes.

"did she slap you?" i ask.

"god you two are so nosy." she says.

we both look at el to see if she knows what to do.

she's just staring at max.

"i said i'm fine. what do you not understand."

why is she acting all different? we were just like best friends a second ago.

"we're just trying to check on you, jeez." i roll my eyes.

"yeah, we're your friends."

"well maybe i don't want you guys to be my friends anymore!" max yells, staring at will and i, not el though.

i look at will and his face went from worried, to confused, to now just sad.

"well we don't need you either." i say, grabbing wills arm and pulling him out of the door.

shit, that just happened.

els pov!

that was so random.

god, what now.

max just stares at me.

"you should go home." she says.

"okay.." i say standing up and walking out of the door.

"i love you." i mumble.

they'll be like best friends again tomorrow.

---- later!

max still hasn't called them to apologize, mike is over at our house, him and will are going on about how rude max is being.

weren't we just best friends?

"she's such a bitch!" mike says.

i look over at him, "don't call her that."

"whose side are you on?" will asks.

i roll my eyes.

"she's my girlfriend."

"cmon, and i'm your brother."

"make the better decision, is she really good to you?" mike asks.

"yes, mike. she is good for me." i say, "since when did you care about our relationship."

"since she wants to be a bitch!"

"i didn't pick a side, this is stupid." i roll my eyes and stomp to my room,

mikes pov!

"sometimes i forget how dramatic they are."

"els not being dramatic!" will says.

"i know, sorry."

"it's okay!" will says, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"let's just forget about her, okay? we'll be fine!" i say.

"mhmmm!" will agrees.

"if anyone should be upset it's her."

"cmon, didn't you just say 'let's forget about her'" will mocks.

max's pov!

okay, maybe i overreacted.

i'm just not in the best mood.

do i regret what i said to them though?

yes, i do.

but that's okay, right?

once el left, i just cried.

my moms pissed, i have like no friends.

well i have lucas, dustin, and el.

but losing will is big.

and mike.

they're my bestest friends.

what if el ditches me.

oh my god.

what if she's on their side!

after all, wills her stepbrother. i'm just her stupid girlfriend!

anyways, if my mom wants to overreact, we can both play that game.

it's been a-few hours, neither of us have spoken to each other.

and we can keep it like that.

i packed my bag with some jeans, underwear and socks and a sweater or two, put on my jacket, grabbed my savings from working and climbed out my window- slowly though, i grabbed my skateboard as-well, although i can't ride it until my foot heals. i slipped my skate board under my arm, which made it difficult to walk with my crutches, but it still worked. just a bit uncomfortable.

anyways, i don't know where to go, or what to do.

then it hit me.

my dad.

it is gonna be a long journey, but i'm sure i can make it to san Diego somehow.

i can take the bus from Hawkins to Illinois, then i just have to work on getting on a plane..

am i really going through with this?
