el's girl crush - byler, reddie, elmax

part 6

*Will's POV*

Max came to my house today and tried to apologise to me.

Earlier that day:

"Will! Hey.." Max says. She gives an awkward smile and flips her wavy, fiery hair.

"Hey Max.." I give her a slight glare and stand in the doorway.

"I came to apologise. What Mike and I did..it wasn't right. I don't love him or even have a crush on him. I guess I thought I did but I truly don't. You don't have to forgive me but you have been my best friend for so long and I don't wanna throw that away."

I glare at her with cold eyes. She frowns slightly. "I don't wanna be friends with you, Max." I try to shut the door but she pushes it slightly open to prevent me and I roll my eyes.

"Please Will.. why won't you give me another chance? I called Mike yesterday and he told me you gave him another chance. Why can't you give me one?" She looks at me with pleasing eyes.

"I don't want to be friends with you because I know that you secretly don't accept me for who I am and you never did. You think my sexuality is disgusting and I don't want someone like that in my life. El accepts me and is always there for me, whereas you're not. Oh, and you lied about me being your friend? You said you had none according to what Lucas told me. Why would you lie about that?"

"I do accept you, Will!" She sounds desperate.

"No you don't, you always looked disgusted when I was with Mike and when I told you I was gay you looked shocked and horrified."

She looks down and sighs sadly.

"And once again, why did you lie about not having any friends? I've been your best friend since kindergarten." ( ew American lol ).

She decided not to answer my question so she instead turns around, her fiery hair whipping behind her and walking away. I shut the door and roll my eyes. El has been a way better friend in the past few days than she has been for years.

- A few days later -

El and I are hanging out and cycling around town. We go into a shop and then when we walk out we see two guys making out. Kinda gross since it's in the middle of the street. I look again and squint because I see a mop of black hair that looks strangely like...Mikes?

I nudge El and point to them a little.

"That looks like Mike." She squints just like I did a few minutes beforehand.

"Thats why I pointed." I laugh and look at her.

"Maybe we should ask?" She says eagerly and smiles widely.

"I want to but.. it seems they're preoccupied with their.. kissing.." I look at them and quickly look away. I don't want to look like a creep.

"Whatever!" She walks over confidently and I trail behind her.

She taps the guy who looks like Mike from behind and he pulls away from his "friend" and turns around.
