The Way She Makes Me Feel-Elmax [UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 16-It Hurt

-Will's POV-

          "No way", Max says. "Nancy walked in on you guys?". I threw my arms up and groaned. "YES! Older siblings are always ruining the moment". I pause, studying Max after realizing what I said. She hadn't had a visible reaction but there's no telling what she was thinking. "Sorry", I quickly say. "It's fine", Max responds with a hint of sadness in her voice. "Continue". I keep telling her about the rest of the night and how Mike and I actually kissed a couple times. "Oh and when we were sleeping we just slept in his bed, but in his sleep Mike turned over to face me and wrapped his arm around me and held my hand and I swear I was like so close to just disintegrating". Max lets out a chuckle before a guilty expression crosses her face.

"Uh... Will?", Max starts. "About Mike and his sexuality problems, did he happen to mention if he talked to El about it beforehand? Or if he talked to El at all?".

"Yeah, he talked about it to her before he got home and called me. She actually told him to talk to me. Oh but uh... I got the impression that I wasn't supposed to tell anyone so don't say anything. I really shouldn't have told you".

Max's face quickly drops. "Shit", she says as she face palms. "Fuck me".

"Why fuck you?".

"I'm such a jerk! Oh my god".

"Max?".

"I know I said I was going to walk home with you but I have to get back to my house. Are you okay walking alone?".

          I nod with a confused look. I had been walking myself the rest of the way home ever since me and Max began walking home together. Max turns around and bolts back to her house, leaving me there.

-Max's POV-

-The Day Before-

          I wake up with the sunlight shining on my face, and El's. I unwrap my arms from her waist and get up. I glanced at my clock. 10:34  it read. My mom must have been at work already. I brush my teeth and head to the kitchen to look for something to eat. I put some bread in the toaster and began to put butter on it when it came out. As I spread the smooth substance onto my toast someone hugged me from behind. I gasp as El kisses me on the cheek. I smile and blushed. 

          The image of Mike and El hugging came in my head. Why would they even need to hug like that? It just didn't make sense to me. Maybe I should just ask her. So I did.

"So I seen Mike walk you to the Browns house yesterday", I say.

El nods.

"What were you guys talking about?", I ask.

"Nothing just, stuff", El answers.

"What stuff?".

"Stuff, stuff".

"Why won't you just tell me?"

"Secret".

"So you have secrets with Mike now?", I ask with a small amount of aggression in my voice.

She pauses to think for a moment before answering. "I guess so, unless he talked to Will like I said".

          "Talk to Will?", I ask. I knew it. Her and Mike are getting back together and she wanted Mike to tell Will. But she feels bad for me so she won't dump me, she just plans on staying with me until I find out later down the road, only breaking my heart more. Maybe she never liked me at all. Maybe she only kissed me back out of pity. Or it's one big mean trick. This entire time she was dragging me! She set me up for heart break. And she knew the one thing about me that could destroy me. She knew about Billy. All she had to do was tell someone and twist the story a little bit and suddenly I was a slut, suddenly it was consensual. Suddenly I was the girl who was down to smash her brother. That was her plan, to humiliate me. "I can't believe you El!", I snap.
