Oneshots: Elmax / Sillie

Andrew

TW: Verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual assault
Hey, my name's El. I'm 16 years old and I used to have 2 step brothers, and an adoptive mum and dad. Well, turns out my real dad moved to Hawkins and forced me into his home.

It's not like I was kidnapped or anything, he basically took legal action and since he was my biological father the court had no choice but to hand me to him. I was very upset, because not only did he come from nowhere and just barge into my new life, he also took me away from Hopper, Joyce, Jonathan and Will, whom I've grown to love very much.

The only good part about this whole thing is that I'm now Max's neighbour. She's my girlfriend by the way. We've been dating for almost 3 years now, she asked me out when we were 14.

He still allows me to hang out with my friends, but lately I've had to sneak out a lot so I can. His name's Andrew by the way, but I just call him dad. I called him Andrew in the beginning, since Hopper was more of a dad to me then him, but that just pissed him off and got me grounded for a month.

Oh yeah, he used to a soldier, though he never did anything other than training and local patrols. Though he always says he's a war veteran and sometimes threatens me because of it. I won't go into detail about all that though.

Right now he's working up to be a lawyer, but it's gonna take a while since he doesn't have the right qualifications.

Anyway, like I was saying. I haven't told him about me and Max, and I haven't told him about my powers. I don't need to tell him, and considering he's going into law who knows what he could do to me.

But it's time for school now.
——————————
I haven't been having a good day today, Andrew told me if I fail my test today, I won't be getting food for the next two weeks. So for the past week or so I've been revising like crazy, staying up till like 5 am for most nights. It's a stupid physics test, and I hate physics. Like, why would I need to know about currents if I'm not gonna be an electrician?

I'm waiting for Max to finish English, coz then the school day's done. I have to go back to physics to get my test results before we go though.

She came out the classroom and smiled as she saw me leaning against the lockers. "El!" She said, hugging me, "How'd your test go?"
"Alright, I think. Can we quickly go get the results?" I asked.
"Yeah. I bet you did amazing, you've been studying for so long."
I chuckled, "I hope so. Wanna hang out after?"
"I have to help Billy out with something, but I can hang out at like 5 ish?"
"Mmm sounds good. I'll pick you up."

We made it to the room, and my half expired teacher was in there. "Ah, Jane!" He said. He sounded happy, good sign. "Here's your results, you got 72%, a good turnaround. Well done." He handed me the sheet and I smiled, "Thank you. Bye." I said, walking out with Max on my arm.
"See you next week." He said as I shut the door.

Max snatched the sheet from me and read it. "Woah! You did amazing!" She said, handing it back to me.
"Thank you. You walking home today?"
"Mhm. Can you walk me?"
"Of course." I put my arm around her and kissed her temple.
"I'm so glad we live next to each other."
"Same. I kinda miss the cabin though."
"That's true. But now it can be your secret hideout, considering no one lives there anymore."
"What, like Castle Byers?"
"Exactly. You can just go there whenever you want a break from normal life."
"Maybe. I'll have to clean it all up though, it's been abandoned for like 3 months."

Max suddenly gasped, "You should call your dad and tell him about your test. I bet he'll be proud."
I smiled, "Good idea." I got my phone out and called my dad.
It took him a while to answer, but eventually he did. "What." He asked.
"Oh, uh- hi. I just wanted to tell you I got 72% on the test today." I answered.
"What?" He repeated.
"I got 72% on my physics test. I passed it!"
"That's nice. But I-" He said.
"I know! I'm glad all the revision worked." I smiled.
"I don't care. Goodbye." He hung up and my smiled faded as I looked at my phone.
"Oh." I said, disappointed.
