Trust me~ Elmax

Chapter 77: Come out

Max's pov

When we hugged etc after my mom asked about us and told us she was supportive we sat back down. "Jane-may I ask,do your parents know?" My mom asked

not in a mean way,just curious. "You don't have to tell me-" my mom reassured her. "Um it's fine-no they don't know yet.." El said looking down a bit ashamed? scared? I can't really tell

Without thinking I grabbed her hand from under the table. My mom's face softened and grabbed El's other hand. "Whenever you girls need me,I will be there I promise. I want to be there for you,no more secrets, same with you Jane" my mom softly said as we both smiled at her and thanked her

"Do you know if they're homophobic or?" my mom asked. "I don't know..they never said anything about that subject to know.." El said as my mom smiled sadly. "They're great people-they love Max too  well-they think she's my best friend but you never know how they will react" El said

"yeah that's true.." my mom said sadly squeezing El's hand. I was happy to see my mom so supportive of el as well. I knew el needed that.

*timeskip*

After having dinner El and I went upstairs to my room. We were both shocked yet happy that our mom now knows about our relationship..well apparently she already knew

I got emotional from fear at first but then happy tears. I was so relieved and glad that my mon was supportive. I couldn't ask for anything else. The fact that she loves el melts my heart

El could sense me still feeling a bit emotional and hugged me after staring at my eyes when we walked into my room. I hugged back and buried my head on her neck enjoying the moment

I feel safe in her arms. "I'm so glad my mom is okay with us" I said still hugging her. "me too" el said smiling. "ugh-sorry for being dramatic I still feel a bit tense from neing nervous earlier-" I said after pulling away

"You're not being dramatic love, it's normal. I was feeling nervous too to be honest but I can imagine how nervous you were.." she said sadly smiling. "It's all okay now" I said smiling to reassure her that I'm okay

"I'm surprised about Billy though..old Billy would literally kill me" I told her as she nodded in agreement. "Neil being away affected him as well in a positive way" el said smiling as I smiled back.

"Hey Max?" El asked after we sat down and cuddled on the bed for a bit. "Yes love?" I softly said. "Do you think I should tell them first?" She asked. "About your sexuality or about us?" I asked. "both" she replied

"Because you see-your mon already knew..she found out by herself-do you think its best I tell them myself before Hopper and Joyce find out?" she said.

I could sense by her voice that she was sceptical and worried so I turned my head to look at her face. "Whenever you are ready love-you don't have to rush because my mom found out" I told her smiling slightly as I put my hand on her cheek

"Yeah I know but..what if they get more upset if they found out before I tell them?" She said. I stared at her eyes. "I don't know..I don't think they will be upset,they're not that kind of people " I said as she nodded

"I-I think I want to tell them..I'm ready. I don't want to hide our relationship because I lo-I-uh care about you a lot max" I said as my cheeks blushed

I almost told her that I loved her. I know it's a good thing but I wasn't sure if it was too soon or if she loved me back..I was scared that if I told her early she would feel bad and perhaps say it back forcefully
