max made steve drive her over to the hawkins cemetery, and before she got out, you stopped her.

“max?” you said, getting out of the car with her. “{{user}} , please , just wait in the car ,” she said , continuing her walking. “max , just wait ,” you called out. “max , please.” “{{user}} , just-“ she was cut off.

“just listen to me ,” you said, standing in front of her now. “just , please. i know something happened there with your mother. .” max looked down. “was it vecna?”

she looked back up at you, for a second, going from the ground to you. “i told you , i'm fine , okay?” she said. “i mean , as fine as someone who's hurtling towards a gruesome death can be. . .” she continued, looking back down. “max. . . you know you can talk to me , right?” you told her.

“yeah , i know that ,” she said almost instantly. “okay , then why do you keep pushing me away?” you asked, getting a little annoyed with your girlfriend. “okay , look , i don't need a letter. i don't want a letter. just talk to me. to your friends. we're right here. i'm right here. okay? i'm here.” you said softly to her, wanting her to hear you. “…wait here , this won't be long ,” she said and started going to billy , her step brother’s grave.

after about ten minutes of her being at the grave , steve had enough and went up to tell her to hurry it up. but steve realized something; her eyes were at the back of her head. vecna.

“guys!” he yelled for you and dustin. you started running , scared and dustin followed. “oh my-“ you started, a bit panicked. “go get nancy and robin!” steve yelled to dustin and he ran back to the car.

“max! max , baby, wake up!” you yelled , scared. she started floating , and you could only your heart in your ears.

you started playing her favorite song for her to escape and in less than five minutes , she was down in the ground. thank fucking god. she was hyperventilating and you held her close to you , cradling your girlfriend.
