i eventually fell asleep, and i woke up to loud pounding on the front door, of course i couldn't hear it that good cause i'm upstairs, but it was still very loud.

i groaned and got out of bed, i then walked over to the door.

my eyes sting, shit.

anyways, i open the door.

"hello-"

hopper.

"hey kid, i'm here to take you home."

i smile.

"can i get my stuff..?"

"yeah, may i come in?"

i nod, then make my way up to my room.

i throw my stuff in my bag, i really wanna get home.

i can feel my eyes getting watery, god why am i so emotional.

do i tell my dad im leaving? or just leave a note?

i'll leave a note.

i wrote on a piece of paper and left it on my nightstand, well, i feel bad leaving without saying anything.

i walk down the hall to his room, i open the door and hes fast asleep.

"dad." i say, tapping on his arm.

he groans and sits up.

"what?"

"i'm going home now."

"no you're not." he grabs onto my arm.

"dad let go."

he digs his nails into my skin.

"say you won't go max, it's been 3 years!"

"let go!"

"no."

"you're hurting me, let go!" i yell,

hopper runs into the room.

he immediately lets go of my arm, i almost fall backwards.

"what's all this about max?"

"i'm taking her home"

"WHAT?" my dad yells.

i roll down my sleeve and walk out if the room, followed by hopper.

i admit, it takes me awhile to get down the stairs with my crutches, but that's okay..!

when we got down to the car, i sat in the backseat.

"hey kid, does he hurt you?"

"what? no, he's my dad!"

"mhm."

we start driving.

"buckle up." hopper says.

i put on my seatbelt.

1 1/2 day later!

i woke up to a 'welcome to hawkins' sign, i guess we're already back home.

my eyes don't hurt anymore, but my arm does.

i roll up my sleeve and look at my arm, there's a-few cuts from when my dad dug his nails into my arm.

i then look out the window, hop is driving over to his house.

els pov!

will, mike, and i have been waiting on the porch for hopper to come back with max since we got home from school today,

i miss max, and hopper.

i was just about to fall asleep, when we heard a car honk.

i look up and i see hoppers police car pulling up into the driveway.

i stand up, followed by will and mike.

hopper gets out of the car, followed by max.

we run up to max and give her a big hug, a group hug.
