Max Miller and Eli Greenwood's iMessage

[Maxine Miller]

pick me up after work? i don't want to walk home.

[Elijah Greenwood]

of course babe. what time?

[Maxine Miller]

930ish. mitchie killed renee... in a cemetery of all places. :wah:

[Elijah Greenwood]

hold up. mitchie did what? what happened? you're not running the store alone are you? jeff is there right?

[Maxine Miller]

it's happening again. the curse, it never stops.

yeah, he said he'd stay with me until close. i'm fine.

[Elijah Greenwood]

but it's been so long... it's stupid but i was hoping we'd at least make it through high school without having to deal with this.

you sure? i can come hang out until close.

[Maxine Miller]

well babe that looks highly unlikely at this point.

i mean getting to see you wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing…

[Elijah Greenwood]

fuck..

you make an excellent point. i'll be there soon.

[Maxine Miller]

be safe. you can’t trust anyone rn

[Elijah Greenwood]

i will babe. and i'll be there soon to keep you safe.

[Elijah Greenwood]

i still get to cuddle you to sleep tonight right?

[Maxine Miller]

duh. i wouldn’t want it any other way. my dad is working overnight anyway. i still don’t really wanna be left alone.

[Elijah Greenwood]

i don't want you being alone either. don't know what i'd do if something happened to you. i'm good at making pasta and frozen pizzas, so which would you prefer for dinner? haha

[Maxine Miller]

he put another deadbolt on the doors. he says nothing is gonna happen, but bad things always happen to shadysiders. i don’t know why the adults are always in denial.

pasta sounds nice.

[Elijah Greenwood]

the fact that he put the deadbolt on tells me that he knows deep down something is wrong. adults are weird af like that.

i'll grab supplies for that, any special requests?

[Maxine Miller]

he only did it because i begged him to, eli. he thinks I’m overreacting, but i’m not. something bad is coming.

no special request. i just want you over here as soon as possible.

[Elijah Greenwood]

i believe you babe. i feel better knowing there is extra security.

believe me, i'll be there asap. i just gotta survive the store. i just got here and it's swamped. wtf?

[Maxine Miller]

because christmas is literally in five days. what did you expect?

[Elijah Greenwood]

i was hoping they'd be at the mall. also, christmas doesn't really feel like christmas this year anyway. esp not with what is going on.

[Maxine Miller]

they’re multi tasking rn. because the mall was busier than usual.

[Maxine Miller]

they’re multi tasking rn because the mall was busier than normal today.

but you’re right. even with the snow.

[Elijah Greenwood]

so stupid. penne or spaghetti? i can't decide.

we could watch some festive movies to try and bring some cheer in?

[Maxine Miller]

i still don’t get why they all wait until the last damn minute. then they get mad because whoever doesn’t have what they need.

Neither. Bow tie.

as long as it’s not one of those mushy hallmark movies.

[Elijah Greenwood]

bow tie, you got it babe.

i was thinking either b&w classics or 90's/00's comedy?

[Maxine Miller]

i'm not really into black and white rn either. what about home alone?

[Elijah Greenwood]

That works for me babe. Imma be happy watching whatever as long as I'm with you!

[Maxine Miller]

you're just as bad as those hallmark movies, you know?

[Elijah Greenwood]

Only with you. I'm better than those Hallmark goons though.

[Maxine Miller]

i mean... i guess you're alright. :winkytongue2:

[Elijah Greenwood]

Damn right I am. How else would I have snagged such a smart and sexy girlfriend like you?

[Maxine Miller]

stoooop it. you know i hate when you do that stuff.

[Elijah Greenwood]

how else am I supposed to keep myself entertained I'm this long ass line?

[Maxine Miller]

play a game or something? don't pick on meeeee. it's not nice.

[Elijah Greenwood]

fine. i'm almost at the checkout anyway.
