Her. (Stranger Things Fanfic)

Cover in Progress. Note for people that haven't watched the series: This is set in 1986. Pre-LGBTQ rights, thats why some of the stuff you hear will sound weird (and homophobic at times), its a different era. Also, this is Stranger Things, there WILL be swearing, and some of that swearing is NOT mild. If you dont want that, I'd stop reading now. Enjoy! 
== Chapter 1 - Eleven ==
Leaving Hawkins, Come Again Soon. Those are the words on the sign. We drive away to a place I've never heard of. California. A place called Red-wood City. I'm guessing the wood is red. 34 hours is how long we'll be in here. My mind wanders, but not to Mike, to Max. Her. But it's impossible. She's a girl. I can't-
Joyce interrupts my thought
"Hey" she says softly, "Are you ok?"
"I guess" I reply
"Will and Johnathan are in his car" she says, "We could talk about... girl stuff"
"What kind of girl stuff?" I ask
"I dont know" she says and then pauses to think, "maybe just life"
"I guess we could" I say
"What's going on in your life sweetie?" she asks me. 
"A lot" I say, not wanting to elaborate, then a question pops out of my mouth, without even thinking, "is it normal for a girl to like another girl?"
s***. I think, what did I just do...
"its completely fine" she says, "and if you do, we'll all support you"
oh good I think, I'll be ok.
"When we get home, can I make a call?" I ask
She looks at me for a second, then back to the road. "sure"
I decide to get some sleep, there's a long drive ahead.
==Chapter 2 - Max==
Eleven. It's been 34 hours since she left. Not like I'm counting--
Since she's left I've broken up with Lucas FOR GOOD. Mike hasn't come out of his room. Dustin is off god knows where doing who knows what. Its just so lonely.
I look over at the picture of us that I have. Me and El. El and I. Why do I want that? Is there something wrong with me?
The phone rings. I pick up, trying to sound like I haven't been crying.
"It's Max" I say
The next words are like they're straight out of a memory, "Can we... talk?" El asks
my heart races, "of course" I reply
"I've been thinking about something" she says, "well-- someone"
"Wh-who?" I ask nervously
I can feel her blushing across the 2,274.9 miles, "you" She says
holy s*** it's happening I think, but what the h*** do I say
I try to form words, but they dont come out, "I- kasdhd- jdlaoew-"
"Max are you ok?" she asks, definitely worried
"Im better than ok" I say, "I also need to tell you something."
==Chapter 3 - Eleven==
It registers for a second.
"Sure" I say
"I- I- I- I-" Max starts, "El I've been thinking about you too, a lot"
my face is bright red. Good thing im in my room alone. and this is over the phone.
"I want... us" I say
"yeah" she says, "to be more than friends"
"exactly" I say contently
We talk for a while longer, then, Joyce calls me down for dinner.
"talk to you later Max" I say
"later El" she says
I hang up the phone and walk out of my room.
"You're red as a cherry" Will says, "talking to mike?"
"Not exactly..." I say
We both walk downstairs.
After dinner we walk upstairs,
"hey will, can we talk about something" I say, I need some advice on what to do with max
"yeah sure" he says
here goes nothing I think
==Chapter 4 - Max ==
OH MY F******* GOD. IM DATING EL I think. 
I need advice. I need to talk to someone about this. I think. 
I skateboard to Mike's, I cant talk to Lucas about this, and I have no idea where Dustin is so, looks like I'm talking to Mike.
"Mike" I say "Open the door, we need to talk"
The door opens.
"what do YOU want" he asks
"I need your advice" I say
"You have 10 minutes" he says
"wow thanks" I say, "anyways, El and I are dating and I need advice"
He's shocked, "YOU PIECE OF S***!" he yells, "FIRST YOU MAKE HER SPY AND NOW YOU CORRUPT HER BRAIN WITH THE IDEA THAT SHE CAN LIKE GIRLS?! THATS UTTER B*******!"
I'm in tears, "Mike..." I say
"get away from me" he says
"Please I just want to-" I start
"I SAID GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME" he roars back
I skateboard back home as fast as I can. I cry. He's the piece of s***
== Chapter 5 - Eleven ==
"Will..." I say, "I'm dating Max"
"and?" he says, "I dont see why that matters."
"Really?" I ask, "but she's a girl..."
"And who I like is a boy, it doesn't matter." he says
"Wait, hold on, WHAT?!" I say, "As your sister I need to know"
he chuckles, "Mike" he says, "I like Mike"
"You should tell him" I say, "it could work"
"I guess" says Will, he goes into his room, I hear I dialing tone from his phone.
I'm about to call Max when my phone rings. I pick up, it's max, she's crying.
She tells me about what happened with Mike.
"That little-" I start and than I realize something, "OH S***"
"what?" Max says, worried
"Will's in his room calling Mike, to say he likes him." i say
"EL GET HIM OFF THE PHONE" she says
I go into his room. He's on the floor crying.
that little s*** I mumble about mike.
"im going to call mike and fix this" I say
"what happened" max asks worried
"I'll call you back" I said, "Mike and I need to... talk"
"ok..." she says, "be safe"
"I will" I say back.
I hang up and call mike. 618-625-8313. He picks up
"hello?" says his annoying little voice
