California dream

The Gate

Chapter 8

We all put our weapons down.

"Eleven" mike says moving forward making the girl do the same.
Eleven?
They embrace. And I look in shock. It's really her? THE eleven?
They start crying "is that..." max starts getting cut off by Lucas and Dustin nodding
"I never gave up on you" he states. I ignore them for a while just looking at Max. She looks shocked. That's until mike pushes hopper than I'm concentrating. Dustin,lucas ans Eleven hug and talk for a while than max walks up to her "eleven? Hey. Um, I'm max" max holds out a hand for her she looks behind her at me. I stayed back because a) It hurts to walk and b) I didn't want to get in the way of anything
"I've heard a lot about you" max explains. Eleven pushes straight past her and starts walking towards me which makes everyone turn. She pulls me into a tight hug shocking the crap out of me
"Sister..." she mumbles against my ear
"What?" I ask stepping back
"Sister" she says pointing at me. I have probably shat my pants by now because I'm so scared. She grabs my wrist and lifts my sleeve to reveal three small numbers on my wrist '012'. How does she know about that?
"How do you know about that?" I say pulling my hand away
"Sister" she says pointing from me to her
"Were Sister's?"
"Yes"
Everyone stares at us in shock. Making me limp towards the door to go get some fresh air. This is a lot to take in. Max comes out a few minutes later and sits next to me. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what? That i have a random tattoo on my wrist of three numbers but I don't know what the heck it means?!"
"Y/n calm down"
"You wouldn't be calm if you were going through this!" I yell back, tears running out of my eyes. She wipes them away and looks at me soft in the face. She kisses both my cheeks and than my forehead letting her lips linger for a while. I sigh and melt into her grip around my body. A few minutes later eleven,hopper (carrying will) and Jonathan, walk outside with a few other people following.

We go back inside and I help steve put the dog in the fridge. Once we get it in I walk over to max. They all figure out different plans while I sit on the couch in pain until I hear a car pulling up. "Shit. Max!" I yell looking out the window. Steve goes outside and talks to billy. Steve gets pushed to the ground "Steve!" I yell trying to get out the door but max holds me back. Next thing billy bursts threw the door "Well, well, well. Y/n y/l/n. What a surprise. Nice to see you, you lesbian slut. I thought I told you to stay away from her, Max"
"Billy go away" max says sadly
"You disobeyed me. And you know what happens when you disobey me"
"Billy..."
"I break things" he grunts and turns to me fast grabbing me by my jacket and pushing me into a cabinet
"Y/n!" Max screams
"Get off me you-"
"Since Maxine won't listen to me maybe you will. You stay away from her" he slams me into the cabinet again "you stay away from her! Do you hear me?" He says grabbing my throat
"Get off me" I say weakly kicking him between this legs making him groan
"You are so dead y/n! You're dead!"
Steve pushes him away from me.
"No. You are" He says punching billy making billy laugh
"Looks like you got some fire in you after all, huh? I've been waiting to meet this king Steve everybody's been telling me so much about"
"Get out" steve says seriously.
They start to fight
"Yes! Kick his ass, Steve!"
"Get him!"
"Go Steve!" The boy egg them on. Billy hits Steve with a plate "Steve no!" I cry. Next thing Steve's in the floor getting punched badly. Max runs forward and shoves a needle into Billy's neck.
"The hell is this? You little shit, what did you do?" Billy falls down and starts laughing making max grab a bat and hold it up
"from here on our, you leave me and my friends alone, especially y/n. Do you understand?"
"Screw you"
She brings the bat down between his legs "say you understand! Say it! Say it!" She yells loudly
"I understand" he mumbles
"What?"
"I understand"

"Holy shit red!" I say as she hits a pot hole. "Okay, so you're gonna keep straight for half a mile then make a left on mount Sinai okay?"
"Okay" Max reply's from beside me
The boys argue and Steve panics.
"Everybody shut up! I'm trying to focus!" Max yells making me smirk knowing she has fire
"Max you need to turn left like now" I say making her turn quickly. Hitting a mailbox.
