Forever [Max Mayfield X Reader]

Chapter 4: Dear Billy

JULES POV:

We're in a hallway staring at a wall.

Max said that she saw a grandfather clock on the wall.

We hear Nancy and Robin running from behind.

"It was here." Max said, pointing the flashlight to an empty wall.

"Right here." Max said.

"A grandfather clock?" I ask Max.

"It was so real." Max said.

"And then, when I got closer, suddenly I just..." Max said.

"... I woke up." Max said.

"It was like she was in a trance or something." Dustin said.

"Exactly what Eddie said what happend to Chrissy." I said.

Max turns around with a worried face.

"That's not even the bad part." Max said.

------------

We're in Ms. Kelley's office again, and Max starts to explain what the bad part is.

"Fred and Chrissy, they both came to Ms. Kelley for help." Max said as Robin takes a look at their file.

"Uh, they both were having headaches, bad headaches that wouldn't just go away. And then... then the nightmares. Trouble sleeping." Max said.

"They'd wake up in a cold sweat." Max said as she starts tearing up.

"And then they started seeing things." Max said.

"Bad things." Max said.

"From their past." Max said.

"And these visions, they just... they kept on getting worse and worse, until eventually... everything ended." Max said.

Robin looks up to Max.

"Vecna's curse." Robin said.

"Chrissy's headaches started a week ago." Max said.

"Fred's, six days ago." Max said.

"I've been having them for five days now." Max said.

I sigh sharply.

"I don't know how long I have." Max said.

"All I know is that, for Fred and Chrissy, they both died less than 24 hours after their first vision." Max said while the tears in her eyes starts pouring.

I look at her with a worried face.

"And I just saw that goddamn clock, so..." Max said.

Max breaths shakily.

"...looks like I'm gonna die tomorow." Max said.

No.

She can't die.

She's too young.

I will not let her die.

I still love her.

Then a moment later we hear a loud clang from a distance.

What the hell?

Steve looks at us.

"Stay here." Steve said.

He walks slowly towards the door.

He looks around for something.

He grabs a lamp for protection.

Steve gets out of the room.

We slowly follow him.
