LOST (Byler)

23🌙

Trigger Warnings: None

Max's POV:

I followed El out when she saw what had happened. I was obviously now extremely frustrated because I no longer had anything against Will. If I don't have anything against Will, then I could just ruin his life. Or worse. Mike's. I smile at my thought.

When I get upstairs I see Mike's mom sitting at the counter, reading some magazine I could care less about. I walk straight up to her and stand with my arms crossed.

She looks up from the paper with pink lipstick to her white smile. "Can I help you?"

"No. But I can help you." She looks confused and I rest my hands on the counter. "I think your son is lying to you."

Mike's mom laughs "What could you possibly mean?"

"I mean he's gay."

I watched as Ms. Wheeler's eyebrows raise. She looked as if she couldn't move. I smiled. "Bye Ms. Wheeler!"

"Bye." Her voice was muffled as I slipped out the door.

When I walked out I saw El sitting on the front steps, sobbing into her hands. I run to sit beside her. I throw an arm over her shoulder and she looks up at me. "Max?"

"I'm sorry about all of this. You don't deserve this."

El rested her head on my shoulder and continued to cry. "I guess."

"You guess? Of course you deserve better! You know what?" I pause expecting an answer but I only hear sobs. "We can get revenge."

This caught El's attention. Her sobs suddenly turned to hiccups and tears stopped falling.

"I already let Ms. Wheeler know about Mike's little secret."

"That he loves Will?"

"Kinda. That he's gay."

El looks down and bites her nails. She must be thinking. It's a lot at once so I can understand that.

"But we can do even more!" I say as enthusiastically as possible.

"What else?"

"I have a plan." I say letting a grin fill my face. We will both get what we're looking for. Revenge
