Chapter 54: Max And Dustin

Max's pov

We continued playing. It was literally impossible for me to stop thinking about el and it was driving me insane. That girl was on my mind all the time

My mood completely changed when Mike told us the news, I hadn't felt like that in a while. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that in a week here in this basement of Mike's would be will and el with us and not just the 4 of us

Just playing video games, like we used to before, or when el and I sat on the other couch while the boys were playing dnd. That is because neither of us liked dnd so we just hang out with each other and let them be

Plus el didn't know how to play dnd, I kind of knew how to play, the guys have shown me before but I thought it was quite boring. I pretended that I didn't know how to play either so el doesn't feel embarrassed. I don't know why I did that to be honest

After a while we stopped playing and played some video games. It was so funny because I kept winning Mike somehow and his pissed off behavior was too funny. "how the fuck-that's unfair you're cheating!" Mike whined.

I just giggled more as Dustin and lucas kept laughing at Mike's reactions. "I'm not a cheater!" I said. "Yeah right" Mike rolled his eyes.

After about half an hour it was time to go home.. Which is my worst nightmare personally. We told each other goodbye etc. I would go by my skateboard even though my mom offered to pick me up

It was not so dark outside but I wanted to skate anyways, I really like skating, it relaxes me but it's also an escape from reality, that means it would be longer time away from home.

I've been skating for around 2 minutes away from Mike's house as I couldn't stop thinking about el but then a negative thought got through my mind. Neil

I remember his condition before I left home. The way he was so drunk, beers on the floor. I knew what that meant. I was so not ready to go home. I really wished I could stay at Mike's because deep down I was terrified of Neil no matter how much I hid it

I looked at the time on my watch, it was 5 pm. My curfew was 5:30 maximum. But at times like this, Neil is so drunk to care about curfew, no, too drunk to even care about anyone, he was probably passed out on his couch by now.

But you never know, sometimes it might hit him as he sees me that I'm late. I don't even know anymore, I get plot twists every day.

I skated a bit more until I decided to a kiosk nearby, I had some money in my pockets so I wanted to get ice cream and some water, just to also  waste some time to be honest.

I got the ice cream and sat down on a beach in front of the store. After a few minutes I noticed Dustin. I frowned. He saw me and immediately stopped in front of me

A smile appeared once he noticed it was me, I couldn't help but smile back and wave. "max! Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you went home" he asked slightly confused.

"um well.. I was but I just wanted some ice cream" I said. "ohh okay I see" he said. "it's kind of getting late though, it isn't really safe for you to be alone outside at this time" he said

"it's fine, I'm fine don't worry" I smiled at him, hoping to be convincing. "alright, how about I stay with you a little until you finish eating your ice crew and then I'll get you home so you don't go alone and-" he said as I was about to speak and cut me off before I could even say a word

"and I don't want to hear 'buts' because I know you'll say you're fine going alone at night" he said. I didn't say anything. He really read my mind didn't he.

"I'm sure your mom and step dad are worried about you so we should get going" he said after I finished eating my ice cream. I began to freak out inside shivering at that sentence
