Trust me~ Elmax

Chapter 37: Confession Part 1

Max's pov

"I get it max.." Robin said grabbing my hand. I sadly smiled at her. "thanks Robin" I said. She smiled. Robin and I have been friends almost the moment I came to Hawkins

She may be older than me but we just bonded, I don't know how. We just help each other out. "hey max, is everything alright? You guys have been gone for a while and we were looking for you" lucas suddenly appeared with Steve

"oh um, I just had to tell her something. Sorry if it took long" Robin said. I nodded. "oh okay, that's totally fine I just got.. A bit worried" he said looking at me smiling as if he was trying to impress me by showing that he cares about me

It was a bit awkward for a couple of seconds until spoke up saving it. "Well, Robin and I should go" Steve said. Robin nodded and stood up. "If you do tell him something, come over to our apartment" Robin whispered in my ear as she was walking by
(Steve and Robin live together in an apartment)

I nodded. Steve and Robin left. I wasn't sure if it was the good time to tell him. Not in the mall, at least when we leave or something. Everything was going fine, I think it was considered as our first date and I just felt bad to ruin it like that.

But at the same time, it was killing me because I felt bad for  not telling him. Because I already gave him signs that I feel the same and now that I think about it, it's not right and I feel like an asshole for doing that, excuse my language

He's literally so nice to me, kind, respectful, like the guy a girl wish for. Like be nice to her. At least he was for now but still. But my mind kept turning back to the gorgeous brunette el.

My heart always beats for her and her only and I can't even help it. It's just how it is. I have feelings for my best friend el and I can't keep denying it anymore. It was useless. I'm hurting myself even more by doing that

"um.. Lucas?" I said. "yeah?" he asked with a small smile, seemingly happy that I finally spoke ever since Steve and Robin left and it was just us 2 left. "Can we.. Talk outside for a little please?" I asked a little scared

"oh yeah sure, is everything okay?" he asked for seriously now. "Yeah, I just want to talk to you" I said. He nodded and then we walked outside. We found a bench near the mall and sat there.

"alright, so what is it?" he asked. "um..I wanted to tell you that-" I started but paused for some reason. "hey, it's fine you can talk to me" he said putting his hand on top of mine which made it worse and made it harder for me to tell him what I wanted to

"This date.. Which I think it was at least. It was really nice and I had fun but I just.. I think I prefer to stay just friends.." I finally managed to get it off my chest.

You may max, this is the worst timing to say that but I had to.. I felt the need to because I felt guilty. I just knew that the moment I stepped into the house, not only Neil yelling at me but I knew that I would feel guilty

Guilty because I was sure lucas wound go home happy about our date etc and I would be sad and it broke my heart at the thought that I would hurt him. We've been friends for long but I just don't like him like that

He stared at me for a second which broke me as I stared back at him feeling scared of his reaction. I mentally prepared myself for the bad words that would come out of his mouth

"Oh um.. That's.. Okah I mean I could kind of tell you didn't like me much" he said looking away from me and then back at me. "I do like you.. You're a really good person lucas but I just think we're better as friends I'm really sorry.. I understand if you hate me because I'm telling you this right on our first date-" I started saying quickly which reminded me of Robin

"woah max, slow down-I could never hate you" he said. "I'm just glad you told me how before we start date or something" he said. I nodded as I sighed relieved

"you know that el likes you back right?" he suddenly said completely catching me off guard. Out of all things he could have said next, I never expected that. I stared at him for a second trying to process

He suddenly laughed a little. "hey don't be scared, I could tell you like her and it's fine"he said smiling. My heart was beating fast. How did he know?

"W-what? How did you-" I stuttered. "It was kind of obvious" he said giggling. "It was?" I asked. He nodded.

"The way you looked at her, I wasn't sure how you felt about me but deep down I was hoping my theory was wrong but I'm proven right and it's fine, I'm just glad you told me. Actually-you didn't tell me I just figured it out" he said

I nodded not really knowing what to say. "yeah.. I guess you're right" I said. He smiled. "You should have told her, I think she likes you back" he said. "I-I don't think so  but thanks for taking it easy" I said. He smiled. "of course" he said as I smiled back
