I am kissing Max. Again. I have so many sparkles - everywhere! It feels heavenly. This time I won't run away.

I slowly pull away.

"Woah", Max whispers. I chuckle softly and Max smiles. We look deeply in eachother's eyes.

'Running Up That Hill' fades in the backround.

I hug Max and she wraps her hands around me. I feel safe.

Way more safe than with Mike.

I dig my head into Max's ginger hair and I smell the familiar summer-smell again. I like it a lot.

I enjoy 'Smalltown Boy' in the backround and me and Max stay a while in this tight hug.

[Half an hour passes, both girls sit on the bed, in front of eachother]

"Max?"

"El?"

"What are we?"

"....Well we practicly made out. So we're a thing."

"A thing?"

"I guess. We don't tell anyone yet, but we like eachother right?"

"... Right."

"Right..."

Max looks a bit sad. "Are you okay?", I tell. "What? Oh- yes I am", she smiles. I give a weak smile back. I can't tell if she really is. Hopefully.

"Can we go to sleep?", I ask. "Sure", Max responds. "I need to patch you up. Let me take care of you and your bruises.", I offer. Max chuckles. "Fine. But you really don't need to do that.", she answers. "But I want too, I really do.", I respond. "Well okay."

I take her hand and we go to the bathroom.

First we brush our teeth, then I get some band aids and a wet cold towel. I wipe every tiny blood stain away and on the big one's I put on a band aid.

I put on the last plaster and look up to Max. "Thanks El", she smiles and gives me a soft kiss on my head. OH MY GOD WHAT?! That is ... SO ADORABLE?!

I can't even help myself, I'm smiling brighter than ever. Max blushes and shyly smiles back.

We cuddle up under the blanket: Max wraps an arm around me and I snuggle closer to her warm body. Soon she starts to read a comic loud out for me.

I am the happiest girl on earth.

I wake up from bright sunshine. I realize, that the most adorable human is quietly snoring in my arms. My heart melts on the view of El's sleeping creature.

We must have fallen asleep while I read the comic. Cute.

I try not to move and just stare a while at the wall; but I don't have to do that for long, because about 6 minutes later El starts moving. "Good morning Maxie", she mumbles and yawns. "Morning El", I answer.

We get up and make ourselves ready for the day. El wears a soft yellow shirt, plus blue skinny jeans, that fit her amazingly.

I wear light shorts and a dark green top. I think I'll put on my white baggy jacket with orange and red stripes on the side, because else I'd probably get cold.

"You ready?", I ask the brunette, as she finishes brushing her hair. She looks absolutely gorgeous. "Yup", she nods. She opens the door. "Wait", I say and she quickly turns around. I walk up to El and kiss her. I just can't help my urge anymore. Finally. Finally I can touch her soft honey sweet lips again.

We detache and I open my eyes again. Eleven's blushing really hard. It's adorable. We smile at eachother.

Soon we go downstairs to the kitchen, where Joyce makes breakfast. "It smells delicious, Mrs Hopper", I comment. "Oh, thank you love. Call me Joyce, okay?", she replies. That is so nice of her. I like Joyce a lot. "Okay", I mumble and me and El sit down at the kitchen table.

Joyce loads our plates full with eggs and bacon, plus there's a plate full of hashbrowns on the table already.

"Where's dad?", El asks, as we dig into our breakfast. "Oh, he had an early shift.", Joyce answers. El nods.

Joyce's breakfast is absolutely delicious. I love it. Max seems to enjoy it too.

As we finish our plates, I want to grab the last hashbrown, but I guess Max has the same idea, so our hands touch at the plate. We quickly exchange looks, then blush. "Sorry.. you can have it", Max mumbles and moves her hand quickly away. "Half you half me?", I offer, trying my hardest not to explode of blushing, but without real success.

Max nods. I cut the hashbrown in a half and give the half to Max.

Phew. I bite in my hashbrown, when I notice, that Joyce stares at me, in amusement. I give her an asking look. She just smirks and her eyes wander between Max and me. My hashbrown piece suddenly gets stuck in my throat, so I choke. It's not that obvious, isn't it?!

"Oh my god El, are you okay?", Max panics. "Y-Yeah *cough* I'm o-okay", I answer.

Okay it may be obvious.

After breakfast, we decide to just go upstairs again. It's already 12pm and we're a bit lazy, to do something outside.

So now we enter my room. I think I'm ready, to show Max my power. I hope she doesn't take it bad. She just wants to close the door, as I stop her from it.

"Why did you stop me?"

"I want to show you something Max."

"...okay go ahead."

I drag her to my bed and tell her to sit. It's absolutely adorable, how confused Max is.

Anyway. With a low key move of my power I shut the open door.

I look at Max. Her jaw dropped. "Holy shit.", she says. Oh god.. is she taking it bad?.. Slight panic is coming up in my chest.

"That is so cool Eleven", she adds. "What?", I ask, because I think I misheard her. "It's the coolest thing I've ever seen", she repeats.

Woah, she's fascinated?!

"Why didn't you tell me?", Max asks.

"Well. There's a backstory.", I mumble.

"Oh. Well you can tell me, if you want. I won't judge you, love.", she means.

'Love' ?! For some reason it makes my stomach sparkle again.

"Did you say ... love?"

"No- Yes. Maybe", Max stutters. She's all red again. I smile.

I tell her everything about the lab and how Dr Brenner tested me and more. Max listens very carefully and doesn't cut me off. As I'm finished, she's pretty overwhelmed.

Eleven just told me her whole backstory. So many feelings are bubbling inside me. I got a new person, that I absolutely hate: Dr. Brenner. What he did to my poor El makes me want to scream and kill him. She deserves so, so much better. Truly.

Also the fact, that Eleven trusts me so much, to tell me this, is just - Woah.

We talk a while about it and I promise to keep it a secret. No matter what.
