With the hot sunny weather in hawkins also came along the long rainy days along with thunderstorms.  It was a wednesday night around 9pm.  Max and el had grown up alot, like alot alot, but that doesn't mean they cant have fears.  I mean they both have gone through so much especially with the whole lab and thunderstorms.  Joyce had come upstairs to say goodnight but Max was on the bed with el as she was shaking.  It was the 6th storm is the past 3 weeks so she simply went downstairs and called ms wheeler
Karen: hello?
Joyce: hey uh can mike come over
Karen: sure thing let me get him
*she hangs up and minutes later mike knocks on the door*
Joyce: thanks for coming *she pauses* again...
Mike: i really don't mind, it's this or listen to my mom and dad yell at eachother i mean yell at politics
Joyce: oh uh if you need anything let me know but she's upstairs with max
Mike: thanks
*he walks upstairs*
*max sees him and gets up to go downstairs*
Mike: el?
El: you didn't need to come over again, sorry if joyce bothered you
Mike: i'd rather be here
El: oh *more thunder hits and she just closes her eyes* sorry
Mike: why are you sorry *he sits next to her*
El: i'm a wimp
Mike: ok everyone has fears and you basically proved these past weeks you are NOT a wimp el
El: yeah but my fucking fear is thunder storms mike, like comeon
Mike: you have a reason to el, stop

Will: i dont fucking understand why she needs mIkEyYy here
Joyce: language mister
Max: i don't get it either
Joyce: mikes the one that found her guys, he convinced the boys to save her and let her stay in his basement.  She trusted him because everyone else was crap to her
Max: i mean yeah but were her family now
Joyce: she probably likes mike here because of something that happened when they were younger
Will: i don't know
El woke up and got breakfast, she grabbed the box of eggos as the phone rung

Mike: dude if i tell her she's going to become me
*max takes her ear off the wall*
Max: paper thin walls, i think will forgot about that
El: what did they say
Max: its a issue with his parents and he didn't want to tell you because then you would become him or some shit
El: So I would become a personal babysitter who watches me like a hawk?
Max: basically
El: whatever if he doesn't tell me by a week then i'll confront him
Max: sounds good to me
El: I kinda feel bad for him but he's with will so he's fine right?
Max: i guess so
