Secrets- Elmax Ghostface AU

Chapter 2

"There. All good." Jane says, cleaning up the medical supplies that were spread out all across her bed.

I look at my collarbone or well- the bandages covering a good section of it. Neil made more cigarette burns I initially thought and Jane had to cover and clean them all so they wouldn't get infected.

"Thanks." I lean my head back against the headboard shutting my eyes for a brief moment.

Who knew committing murder was this exhausting?

"I'll go get you some ice for your eye. You stay here you seem tired." Jane gets up flicking the light off on her way out making sure to close the door after exiting in case Hopper was home.

A few minutes later she returns with a bag of peas and a towel. Muttering a goodnight to Hopper.

"I didn't know Hop was home," I say. Opening my eyes.

"He got home while I was getting the ice pack" She chuckles, wrapping the peas in the towel and handing it to me. "I assume since you're almost passed out on my bed you're staying?"

I nod placing the ice pack on my eye, the cold making me want to go to sleep even more since Jane's room was hot. 

Or was it just me?

"Does your dad know I'm here?" I ask. He'll probably be called into work pretty soon.

"No. You aren't really supposed to be here but you decided to show up unannounced." She replies sitting on the edge of her bed and looking at me.

A few minutes later as I called it Hopper rushed into the room in a state of panic. "Hey, Jane I've got an emer- Max?" Jane's head shoots towards the door quickly as I sit there calmly holding the ice pack to my face. "I thought I told you I didn't- never mind I prefer her being here instead of you being here alone. I have a work emergency" He walks up to Jane to press a quick kiss on her forehead then quickly runs out of the house.

"At least you're not in trouble."

"Oh shut it."

———————————————

Hopper left at about 1 in the morning, he's still gone and it's 4 am.

"I wonder what the emergency was.. he's never usually gone this long," Jane speaks up, she's sitting in her desk chair spinning it with her feet on the table.

I however was laying in Jane's bed trying to fall asleep.

Jane won't let me.

"Why can I, not sleep, Jane?" I ask laying flat on my back with my eye's barely staying open.

"Because then I'll be bored without you." She replies stopping her chair when she faces me.

"Then you go to bed too," I say turning my head to look at her. "It's pretty comfortable... and I meeaaannn... you don't wanna be tired in Andrews and fail his test tomorrow do you?"

Grades. Jane's only weakness.

Jane groans, rolling her head back and spinning the chair one last time.

Why was that so hot?

Did you just call her hot?

No...

Yeah. Okay.

"Hellllooooo?" Jane snaps her fingers in front of my face. "Jesus maybe we should go to sleep you are like- completely out of it.." She says finally standing up out of her chair to get in bed.

"I told you I was tired."

"Mhm."
