By the time I finished talking about the whole "Mike and I kissed" situation, I grew tired from all the crying and my nose burned from all the tissues it had contact with.
  We were currently laying on the floor in his room with pillows scattered nearby and the blanket on us.
  "I don't want to sound rude, Will but you're making this whole thing sound like some drama movie. Listen, I think you should tell El-"
  "EXCUSE ME? AND DIE? Oh Dustin what am I going to do" I cried as I drew out the o's in "do". I sobbed some more as Dustin handed me another paper towel with an absolutely annoyed face.
  "Will she's not going to kill you-" Dustin tried to say.
"Says you! You're not in my position of death, Dustin! Why did Mike kiss me? Why did he just up and-" -Hiccup- "and just be stupid! Why is he so stupid? Why does the world hate me? Max! We should get Max into this"
  "No! We should not get Max into this!" With this I cried again. "Why not!?"
  "We both love Max but she doesn't know how to  confront the problem without aggression"
"At least she'll encourage my overdramaticness unlike you! Nobody loves me and if they do its cheating and their girlfriend is powerful as heck! Oh my- I just want to disappear" I sniffled and held myself as I closed my eyes. "I really do feel horrible" I finished. Dustin wrapped his arm around me and sighed.
  "I know you do. It's 5 a.m I think I know how bad you feel. Okay. Try and get some sleep and we'll talk about this with Max, alright?" I sniffled and nodded at Dustin. "Okay" I curled up and closed my eyes.
  "I love you by the way. So does your family...And Lucas and Max. Obviously Mike does too. We love you, Will. Dont say otherwise" He said shyly before turning his back towards me. I smiled and got closer to Dustin. Making sure my head was pressed on his back.
  "Thank you" I said

   I knocked on Max's window quickly and jumped to see inside. "Max! Maaaaax! I need you!! Nooow!" I kept jumping, feeling my hair bounce along.
  "Will! What if her brother is here?" Dustin said, looking left and right.
"Shh!" I scolded dustin and proceeded to jump some more."MAAAAAX!!" Then the window swung open and there she was! Angry and tired.
  "Will? Its 8 in the morning what do you want?" She said, eyes still squinted. I gave her my finest puppy eyes
  "Please come out here" We looked at each other back and forth. Her face full of annoyance while I tried my best to look angelic. She shut her eyes after a minute.
  "Give me a sec" She said and slammed the window shut. I turned to Dustin with a big smile on my face and grabbed his hands immediately, spinning us a bit before letting go. Dustin fell as I danced back to her window. Moments later, Max jumped out dressed up with a sort of grumpy yet a "I'm happy to see you but kindly F off" face.
  "Mall?" I asked them which they both nodded along with "let me get some money first."

  After walking around for hours in the mall and explaining the whole situation, we finally sat at a table with a big bowl of ice cream for all of us to share.
"So this douche rag-" Max was cut off by Dustin's "Never say that again" before continuing "decided to just up and kiss you then peace sign his way out? What the fuck is that?! WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS BITCH THINK HE IS?!" At this point Max was standing with her hands on the table and staring me dead in the eyes.
  "Thank you for your motivation but let's go ahead and tone it down about" Dustin says. His hands gently on her shoulders, slowly bringing her down.
"I know it's a  really bad situation and Mike is not at all in the good light now or has been for the past what? Weeks? Months? Ever since he met el?" He stops to think. "Yes. I like that last one" He mumbles to himself.
  "Dustin! Alright I know this isn't at all good. What happened was out of my hands but I'm still responsible for kissing back and I feel awful for treating el this way" I shove a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth, letting the ongoing mess on my face get worse.
  "Will this is not at all your fault. Kissing him back? Well yes but you didn't start it. That littl shit did. That fucker who decided to just fucking kiss you , taking advantage of your feeling. I MEAN REALLY, WHO THE KING OF SHIT GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO CHEAT THAT SON OF A FUCKING CO-"
  "OOOOkay let's stop right there. Kids are still a thing, Max. Please for obvious reasons, calm down. You're scaring not only the kids but me as well!" Dustim was again up and holding max's shoulders. 
  "Let's tell her. Tell her the whole fucking truth so she can throw him all the way to the Pacific Ocean! No no better! The fuckin moon!" Max continues angrily. "Max please for me would you calm down" I say. She gives me one look, angrily pouts and sits, shoving some candy and ice cream in her mouth, still mumbling but not enough to hear though I'm sure there was swearing in there.
  "The real question at hand is, What should I do? We kissed, my notebook is lost probably at his place and his girlfriend has unnatural powers that could kill me. I don't know what to do and-" I sniffled "- I don't know what to do!!!" I whined. Max shoved more ice cream in her mouth angrily to keep quiet while Dustin rubbed his cheeks with the tip of his fingers. Finally Max gulped all the ice cream down and slammed her spoon down.
  "Corner Mike and tell him how the fuck you feel. If he doesn't feel the same way and tell El the truth, drop his ass! 'Cause at this point he's just using you and playing you like some fucking toy. I love you, Will but I will not let you get hurt over and over again. I'm going to call Lucas and tell him the whole situation. You are NOT facing this alone. You'll have three behind you back!" Max got up and shoved some more ice cream in her mouth before giving me a nod and running to the closest phone. Dustin on the other hand slid his chair closer to me and began rubbing my back.
  "Everything will be better, Will. Just you wait. Max and us will fix this for you. Think of us as your cure to your happiness. Whichever way this goes, we'll lead you to the happy path, okay?" He said, smiling. I nodded and shoved some ice cream in my mouth.
  "Thank you..so much"
