Also, eleven ;). Stranger Things, anyone?

Question: Did you watch Stranger Things? If so, who's your favorite character? Do you ship Mike and Eleven?

Chapter Eleven: "Did you piss yourself or something?"

I've never been good at figuring out my feelings.

To be honest, I've never really liked anybody. Sure, I had small crushes in elementary school, but never something where it felt real.

But with Max, it feels real.

It feels more real than anything I've ever felt before.

I feel like I could tell him anything and he wouldn't judge me. I feel like he's the only one in the world for me. I feel like a million butterflies are exploding inside of me every time I see him or talk to him or even just hear his name.

It started out small. I didn't really notice anything at first except getting nervous whenever he was around. But this past week, everything grew.

Every time I saw him, I felt happier than I've ever been in my entire life. Whenever he looked at me, I felt like the luckiest girl in the entire world. It all just got more intense.

Every day in class I would just stare at him.

I didn't know what I was feeling, but a few days ago it finally hit me.

I like Max.

But I can't tell what he's feeling. He still acts the same and treats me the same.

I don't know what to do about it. Do I tell him? Do I keep it inside? Do I tell my friends?

Can I trust my friends?

Everything in my past makes it hard for me to trust, but my friends have been there for me even before it happened. I can trust them.

Right?

Yes, I can.

I take my headphones out of my ears and climb back inside my room.

I sit on my bed, my heart pounding in my chest.

Before I facetime my friends, a call from my mom comes through my phone.

"Hey, mom!"

"Hi, sweetie! I just wanted to call and check-in. I can't believe my little girl is turning sixteen and I won't be able to celebrate it with you! I'm really upset and I'm really sorry."

"It's okay mom. The Taylor's will be here to celebrate with me, plus Jordan! Even though I'm upset I won't see you, I can still call you."

"Yes, that's true. How's school?"

I talk to my mom about school and her work for about ten more minutes before she has to leave.

We say goodbye and I group facetime Liv and Riley.

When they both join I say, "I need to tell you guys something."

"Uh oh," Liv says.

"She's pregnant. I knew it," Riley says.

What the fuck?

"She's still a virgin you dumb fuck. What makes you think she got knocked up? Oh shit, she does live in a house with many hot men. Holy fuck bro, are you pregnant?" Liv asks, completely serious.

My friends are insane.

"Oh my god, no!" I scream, "Can I talk please?"

"Okay, okay. Talk," Riley says.
