Max's POV
The next day when I woke up, I immediately panicked as I bet the teachers definitely has been looking for Eleven and I for the entire day and my abusive step brother and step father is definitely gonna murder me when I get home. But having Eleven by my side at such a beautiful place, totally calmed my mind down.
"Max.. you're awake already?" Eleven sleepily asked while trying to get up from the grass we were on for the entire night.
"Mhm I just woke up as well." I replied while caressing Eleven's hair.
"I'm sorry that we slept out here last night instead of sleeping in the cabin comfortably. Anyways it's nice that your voice was the first thing I heard today." Eleven said with a cheerful smile and hugged me tightly as I blushed and smile comfortably. I can't believe the person that used to make my life a living hell, is now someone that I'm so in love with. I remember praying something bad will happen to Eleven a few years ago.
"Unfortunately, we would have to return back to school again." I said with a saddened sigh.
"Or we could come here everyday?" Eleven suggested.
"And skip school forever? Nah Billy and Neil would be so mad." I replied.
"Who is Neil?" Eleven asked curiously.
"My step father. He sucks too." I replied and laughed before we got up to get Eleven's car and drove back to school.

Max's POV
Before Eleven and I reached school, I got out of Eleven's car at the nearby bus stop and skated to school just in case Mike passes by.
When I finally reached school after ten minutes, I heard laughter from the lockers at the hallways. It was Eleven, Mike and their friends.
"Oh look! It's the bisexual freak!" One of their friends, Jason said and laughed loudly as I rolled my eyes and walked towards my locker.
I didn't care about anything these people said until I saw something that triggered me.
It was Mike pinning Eleven on the locker beside mine and all of their friends cheering joyfully as Mike slowly kisses Eleven. God I feel so disgusted and before I even know it, a punch landed on to Mike's face and it was me who punched him.
"Bitch! How dare a freak like you punch me! Do you know how much my face worth?! YOU BRAT!" Mike yelled and was about to punch me back until Eleven pulled him back and told him to stop as I do not worth the time. I immediately scoffed and stormed away down the hallways.
After I stormed away, I stayed in the girls bathroom the whole time and soon fell asleep. When I woke up, I realized it was already 6pm in the evening and the guards had already locked the school gates. Goddamn it.
Worse, my eyes were puffy and swollen from all that crying from what happened just now. I'm not sure if I was just overreacting but witnessing Mike and Eleven kissing, hurts more than anything in this world. Hurts more then when Billy took a knife and stab my arm back then. How and why did I fall so hard when Eleven and I has only been dating for five months and even worse, it was a secret relationship so when she's in public, Eleven is still that perfect and sassy straight 'homophobic' girl that's dating a homophobic millionaire boyfriend and not dating a bisexual freak that is disliked by many.
Suddenly, I received a call from someone. It was Will. Well, of course, why did I expected Eleven to be worried about me?
"Hey Will."
"Hey Max! Are you okay? I didn't see you in class just now, I'm worried as your best friend."
"Yeah I'm fine, I just wanted to be alone and skip classes."
"Are you sure? Did you and my sister fight?"
"Yeah I'm fine and nope, don't worry, Will."
"By the way, Mike held a party at his house a few hours ago and it is still ongoing right now and my sister is here too, you wanna come?"
"Nah."
"Aww.. I really would've loved to see my best friend here though."
"I can't. I am locked in school lol, I accidentally fell asleep just now."
"Dude, you serious?!"
"Yup."
"How are you gonna get out then? Do you want me to go and find you?"
"Nah, it's fine. I'll just stay in school for the night, don't let anyone know about this, especially El."
"Roger that, bestie."
"Okay bye then, enjoy yourself at your crush's party, Will."
"Thanks bestie."
Eleven's POV
"Hey Will, what's wrong? You look worried." I asked curiously while checking up on my brother.
"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just worried about Max." Will replied.
"Max? What happened to her?" I asked in a more serious and concerned tone.
"She accidentally fell asleep in school just now and now she is locked in school, she can't get out-"
Before Will completed what he was saying, I immediately dashed out of Mike's house and ran to my car anxiously. Shit. I forgot about Max. All of a sudden, Mike ran to my car as well and stood in front of my car with open arms.
"What do you want, Mike?!" I yelled while starting my car's engine.
"What's wrong with you?! You were still happily partying with me a second ago until you talked to Will and now you are leaving MY party without consent and informing!" Mike yelled and slammed my car's front glass.
"Nana's sick. Get away from my car, Mike. Don't force me to drive and knock you down." I said in a serious tone and dark glare and then Mike finally moved away as I drove my car at the highest speed possible.
After five minutes, I finally reached the school. I looked around and realized there was no way in and the gate was locked. And soon I finally thought of a idea. I drove back home again and took a long ladder to the school and placed it at the main gate. Thank god it worked! Wait, where is the place that Will told me that Max is at? I thought for a while until I finally remembered that it's level three girls bathroom. I immediately ran up the stairs and finally slammed open the girls bathroom's door which shocked Max.
"El?! What are you doing here?" Max asked loudly.
"Why didn't you tell me you were here?! Do you know how worried I was?" I said and ran to hug Max tightly as tears started escaping my eyes.
"But don't you love Mike?" Max asked with a shaky voice.
"No! I only love you, Max. Just give me some time to handle the situation okay?" I replied and patted Max's head.
"But I'm only your secret love, aren't I? I'm just a substitute for Mike. Aren't I?!" Max asked in a serious tone.
"What-? No! Where'd you get that idea from?!" I replied as my voice started increasing.
"Didn't you accept Mike's engagement request?!" Max yelled and started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Yea- Wait- NO! Maxie, please trust me okay? I promise I will settle the situation and the engagement will not be a success okay? We will have our future of living in that mini forest with a waterfall, alright?" I said and started panicking at Max's expression right now.
"Bullshit." Max replied with a darkened glare and walked out of the girls bathroom. I have never seen Max making that face.
"Max-! Wait!" I yelled through the corridors and tried to catch up with Max as she started running quickly and soon we reached the school gates.
"Max.. you know you can't get pass that gate since it's locked. So come on, just let me explain myself okay? Please Maxie.." I pleaded and took heavy breathes from all that running.
"What else is there to explain?! You love Mike, you're going to marry Mike next month, I'm just your secret lover, a bisexual freak is your secret lover Eleven! Do you hear that?! A FREAK! But what are you? You are a popular and perfect girl. I could never be enough for you. There is no future for us. Also, just admit that you never wanted to get rid of Mike. If you wanted to get rid of Mike, you wouldn't have agreed to engage with Mike or even kiss him at the lockers or make out in the janitor's closet all the time! I know you're just using me, but now you can stop. Because guess what? YOU HAD SUCCESSFULLY USED ME! AHAHHA!!! I GOT HEART BROKEN BY YOU MANY TIMES AND YOU JUST PLAY ME AROUND LIKE I'M A FOOL AND MY FEELINGS FOR YOU JUST KEPT INCREASING! YOU DIDN'T EVEN CARE WHEN I STORMED AWAY FROM YOU AND MIKE JUST NOW. YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY LOOKING FOR ME! YOU WERE JUST BUSY MAKING OUT WITH MIKE 24/7! I'M SO DONE WITH THIS FUCKING SHIT AND SO DONE WITH MY BULLIED LIFE! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'M DONE WITH BEING PLAYED AROUND BY YOU, ELEVEN! YOU WIN!!!!!!" Max yelled, full of tears and jumped across the school gates and ran to the road.
"OKAY MAXIE, I'M SORRY ALRIGHT? I'LL GO AND BREAK UP WITH MIKE RIGHT NOW, PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID! I CAN'T LOSE YOU! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING!!" I yelled and jumped across the school gates as well but I was too late.
I gazed in confusion as Max smiled at me from across the road. It was one of her quick, gorgeous-like grins filled with tears that Max flashed at me. My heart already fluttered as I caught a blur of motion behind her.
My eyes immediately moved from Max's calming and comforting smile to the car that knocked over Max as blood starts flowing out of Max's motionless body. I were still impossibly far away as I watched Max in horror as she slowly turned her head painfully slowly and gave me a 'its okay' smile.
"NO! MAX!!" A single syllable was ripped from my vocal chords, as I ran towards Max, seeing more and more blood flowing out of her head as Max's eyes locked on to mine. The eyes that haunted my dreams, the eyes I was willing to stare into for eternity, the eyes that may never open ever again.
A choked sob escaped my throat as Max's eyes slowly closes and becomes motionless, blood pooling around her head and body. It was in that moment I finally experienced true heart break and it's worse than anyone could've imagined. Rain started falling from the skies and slowly rains harder and harder, mixing with tears and blood.
I gently glided over Max's skin, no longer flushed and healthy, but pale and dry as blood flowed freely from her lips, lodging in her hair and clothes and with the faint smile she gave me still plastered on her face. Thunder rolled overhead and fighting raged around me, but none of it mattered. All that mattered was the person lying motionless in my arms.
"MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?!!?!?!??!! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME?! I LOVED YOU MAX, I ALWAYS DID!!!! I WILL CATCH THE CULPRIT I PROMISE!!!!" I yelled in pain while hugging the motionless red head in my arms in pain and reluctance.
"Goodbye, El."
