after sleeping for 2 more hours, max and eleven got up to get dressed.
eleven picked up her phone and noticed she had gotten 10 text messages from mike asking where she was.
"clingy much?" eleven said underneath her breath.
eleven ignored the messages and scrolled down on Instagram, liking her friends photos.
"im ready to go." max said.
eleven slowly looked up from her phone.
eleven stared at max in shock.
"wow." was all eleven could say.
"what?" max asked, confused.
"nothing it's just i didn't know you had a dress."
"yeah well i had one for special occasions and i thought since you said we are going somewhere fancy, id wear it." max explained.
"you look beautiful." eleven smiled.
"thanks." max blushed. "but your staring is making me feel uncomfortable."
elevens eyes widened and she quickly turned away from max.
"im sorry." elevens face was as red as a tomato.
"it's fine." max laughed awkwardly. "so you ready to go?"
"yeah of course." eleven smiled and got up to leave with max.
-
after going to the restaurant, eleven and max rode the bus back home.
they were about to enter elevens house but her phone rang.
"are you gonna answer that?" max asked.
"no mikes been texting me all day and i just need space." eleven sighed, opening the door.
max stared at eleven suspiciously before walking into elevens house.
"hey, shouldn't hopper be home by now?" max looked around the house for hopper.
"he's probably on a date." eleven shrugged.
"on a date?" max gasped. "why didn't you tell me hopper was dating?"
"it just started happening recently. i don't really care too much to be honest." eleven responded.
"you don't care? you can be getting a new mom!" max smiled.
"i don't want a new mom." eleven sighed.
"but el—" max frowned.
"i already had a mother and she left. i don't want another stranger to be my mother and then leave too when she's tired of me." tears formed in elevens eyes.
max sighed and sat down next to eleven, pulling her into her arms.
"im sure it's going to be fine." max whispered, rubbing circles on elevens back.
"im sorry. i shouldn't be crying." eleven sat up, wiping her tears.
"don't apologize el." max gave eleven a small smile.
eleven smiled back sadly.
the two stared at eachother smiling for a while before max spoke up.
"so do you want to watch the movie or continue to stare at each other all day?" max joked, causing eleven to laugh.
"i think ill choose the movie." eleven giggled.
"great choice." max chuckled and handed eleven the remote to put on the movie.
-
an hour into the movie, eleven was already falling asleep.
elevens head slowly fell onto max's shoulder.
when she felt it land on her shoulder, she jumped a bit and leaned into the touch when she looked at eleven.
"good night." she smiled before turning off the TV.
