max's pov:

"uhm.. hey.." i awkwardly smiled. "max your soaking wet- come inside." she told me opening up the door wider. "no el- it's fine.. i don't even know why i came here honestly." i told her while chattering my teeth. "max please come in. i'm not letting you stay outside in a thunder storm." she said grabbing my arms and making me come inside. i didn't resist her making me come in her house like i planned if she made me come inside. i don't know why, but i kinda wanted to come inside. probably just because i didn't want to be outside anymore..

i looked around her house in awe. her house was really big- not mansion big- but her family definitely had money compared to my family. "do you have any dry clothes?" she asked me. "no- but i will be fine." i told her. "here you can borrow some of my clothes. just follow me." she said grabbing my arm and pulling me upstairs. normally i would of said no, but i didn't mind the idea of wearing el's clothes honestly. once we got upstairs we walked down a decent sized hallway passing a few rooms. we walked passed a room with an opened door, and inside was a shirtless boy. el stopped and stared at him looking disgusted. "ew will put a shirt on! i have somebody over." she yelled at him dragging me away from his room, into her room across the hall.

she shut the door and sighed. "sorry that's my annoying twin brother will." she chuckled. she walked over to her closet which was practically a mini walk in closet and pulled out a hoodie and sweat pants. im sorry i don't have that good clothes. my style is a little weird." she said handing me the clothes. "have you seen MY clothes?" i asked her pointing to all the rips in my jeans and wholes in my old worn out sweater. "your clothes are perfect, no need to worry." she reassured me with a soft smile. i slightly smiled back and i glanced around her room. "wow, your room is sick." i complemented her. "no, i bet your room is a thousand times better." she told me. i looked over back at her with a shocked expression. "my room is the size of that walk in closet of there," i told her pointing over to the walk in closet in her bedroom.

"my family is broke as fuck, your family seems like millionaires to me." i laughed sitting down on her king sized bed. "not really. we're just lucky i guess." she said sitting next to me. "yeah sure thing princess." i teased her already giving her a nickname. she smiled and looked away from me hiding her face which i found as odd, but shrugged it off. "so do you wanna get changed so you don't wreck my bed?" she teased me back. "oh yeah shit alright." i said standing up, grabbing the clothes. she didn't move an inch and just stayed sitting on her bed staring at me. i got a tiny bit uncomfortable as i spoke. "are you just gonna watch me change or...?" i asked her sarcastically. her face got immediately red and she stood up. "oh yeah right i'm sorry. i'll leave." she said leaving her room and shutting the door behind her.

i sighed and looked down at the ground. fuck of couse i was mean about it. why was i so mean about that? i could of just politely asked her to leave, now she's definitely not gonna want me staying here. i quickly slid off my soaking wet hoodie and tossed it on the ground next to my bag of stuff and skateboard. i was about to put on el's hoodie when my arms caught my attention. i hadn't seen my arms since the previous day, and now the cuts were swollen and looked even more nasty. i couldn't bare to look any longer so i put on el's hoodie, and on the pants.

i put my clothes in my backpack and then opened up her door. i saw her standing in front of her brothers room talking to him, but once she heard the door open she spun around. her eyes scanned my body and she slightly smiled. "you look pretty- pretty nice." she corrected herself leaving his room, walking back into her room. "so uh- what do you wanna do?" she asked me. "i don't know- i'm pretty tired.." i told her. "oh yeah it's 10pm already. i normally go to sleep around this time." she explained to me. "yeah same." i told her. she nodded awkwardly without saying a word. "uhm, i don't have any spare mattresses so i hope it's okay if you sleep in the bed with me. there should be plenty of room." she told me.

"yeah i'm fine with that." i told her, keeping my expression blank. truthfully i was more then just okay with that, i was kinda excited and happy i got to sleep next to el. right now i just wanted to be near her. i lied down in bed bc as she turned off the lights, then came over to her bed and lied down in her bed next to me. "well, goodnight max. sweet dreams." she whispered softly. "night el.." i wispered back feeling my stomach do all kinds of flips and flops being so close to el. there's just something about this girl.. something that's just drawing me in and pulling me closer and closer to her. but oh well. i don't care. all i care about is right now being next to el, falling asleep next to me, made me feel safer then i've ever felt before.
