Chapter 32: Last Day Before Leaving

El's pov

*the next morning*

Joyce, hopper and Jonathan were packing their stuff. Will and I did most part last night because we wanted to spend more time with the boys and max before we leave

The bell rang, will and I ran to open it. It was the boys and max. I wasn't sure how to react. After we almost kissed, we didn't really speak to each other

It was so awkward. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to spend my last hour without speaking to her. So I decided to try and whatever happens.

As the boys were greeting each other, max and I locked eyes for a few seconds but it felt longer. Her blue eyes staring into mine. My heart was beating fast. I decided to just do it so I walked there and hugged her

She hugged back after a second. I smiled and then we pulled away. The boys went to the living room before we could even notice it. I wasn't sure if we should talk about it

I could tell max was nervous too. "so um.. About yesterday-" I  started. I think we both could tell we should talk about it because the tension between us after was so awkward and neither of us liked it

She nodded, waiting to see what I say. She stared at me scared for a second probably waiting for me to say something but I was waiting her to say something because I had no idea what to say. No words came out

"um yeah..you're referring to what happened in the bathroom right?" she asked. I nodded. "I-" I started but she cut me off. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to lean in-" she said. My heart broke

"um.. It's okay-I actually want to tell you-" I said but Dustin cut us off. "Hey girls, we didn't notice you were gone, why did you stay here? Come with us to the living room" Dustin said smiling

I love Dustin but I wanted to slap him at that time, no offence. We both nodded as he walked back to the living room. So we followed him

No words can explain how much i wanted to kiss her before Dustin interrupted us. I didn't know what el wanted to tell me though

But I knew it was wrong. I can't kiss her. She's my best friend and she doesn't even feel the same way. I couldn't sleep last night, I kept thinking and thinking about it.

*flashback, the night after the cafe*

"where were you?" Neil asked from the couch. He was drunk again. My mom was in the kitchen cooking. "at a cafe, with my friends" I said tiredly

I was already in a bad and low mood that I couldn't handle him as well. "right.. Your mom told me something but I forgot. Whatever I don't fucking care anyways go to your room" he said

It's like he was about to pass out. He was always drunk. "oh honey, you're back" my mom said as she walked to the living room. "hey mom" I said. "you okay?" she asked frowning

"yeah I'm okay, just tired" I said about to leave. I fell on my bed as soon as I walked into my room. Before I knew it, I started crying.

I couldn't stop thinking about the bathroom scene. Were we going to kiss? Most likely. I love the thought of us kissing but I hated it at the same time.

That's the worst part. The guilt. The fact that I did want to kiss her. That I wanted to kiss her. I'm not sure if she wanted too though. She did lean closer but I'm not sure.

It's a girl max, most certainly your best friend. You can't kiss her. You're not a Dyke, I kept thinking.

It was so awkward after. We barely spoke to each other. Also the fact that she would leave tomorrow broke my heart. We may not have known each other for so long but we bonded so quickly. I really care about her

I just wish she could stay. Whenever I'm with her, all my problems go away. I stop thinking about Neil, Billy, my mom, everything. I just enjoy time with her. She makes me happy

And I don't want her to go to california. I really don't want to. And will of course. Sure I've got Dustin, lucas and Mike but... El and will are different.

Suddenly someone bursted in. "Did you get my hair spray" Billy said. He stared at me for a second. "tee fuck happened to you" he asked. "nothing" I said. "was it that sinclair boy?" he asked. I shook my head.

"whatever, I don't fucking care" he said. "now did you get my hair spray or did you not?" he asked impatiently. "I didn't" I said. He groaned and walked out frustrated.

*end of flashback*

All of us were sitting in the living room playing cards while catting. I was sat next to max and will next to me. "okay, we have to promise something" Dustin said

"when you guys to to california, we're gonna write to each other" Dustin said. "we do" lucas said frowning. "well last time not so often" Dustin said. "we'll write to you too" will and I said smiling as they smiled back

"will and el come here for a second" hopper yelled from the kitchen. Will and I stood up. They needed help with something

Max's pov

Will and el left cause hopper needed help with something since they were packing. El and will already packed their stuff so they could hang out with us. After a minute lucas stood up and sat down next to me

"hey" he said. "hi" I said. "wanna hang out this weekend?" he asked. "With mike and Dustin?" I asked. "no, just us" he said frowning

"if you want to of course-" he said. "no, I want to" I said. He smiled relieved. I wasn't sure if I wanted to. I mean I think I like him as a friend.

Hopper told us we could go back.  I saw lucas sitting next to me where I was before. I felt a pinch of jealousy in me. Again..

They were smiling and laughing. Lucas was holding a comic which was on the table. It was Will's. He must have left it there. Does she like lucas? Are they dating?

Is that why max said she didn't mean to lean in? I knew she didn't like me back, you idiot, I thought.

"sit on my seat, I'll sit on the other couch, go with max" will quickly whispered in my ear as he was walking by. He sat down on the other couch where Dustin and mike were sitting at.

I went and sat down next to max on the other couch with lucas. Max and I made eye contact for a second.
