What Is Love?

"How did that even-" Eddie exclaimed, speechless.

All y/n could do was hug Eddie. She didn't want to talk. She didn't want to think. She couldn't sleep.

It had been two days since Chrissy death. They had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"I'm tired y/n." Said Eddie.

"Can we lay down?" Asked Eddie, holding her tight.

Y/n nodded her head, and Eddie laid them down on the floor. Eddie shut his eyes, but y/n didn't.

When she did, she only saw her best friend. She figured in the beginning that it was just another bad dream, that they came back.

But no, it never went away. And days passed.
Eddie was there though. He helped her a lot.

A car pulled up. Eddie stood up, and told y/n to hide in a boat under a tarp. She hopped in, and Eddie followed after her.

Eddie grabbed a broken beer bottle from the boat, and held it tight in his hand. It was dark, so dark.

The door opened, and in flooded voices. At least three or four different voices. Y/n was trembling, so scared she was going to die like Chrissy.

The voices got closer, and someone was poking the boat with something. "If your so brave.. you take the tarp off." Exclaimed a voice as it got closer.

Eddie looked at y/n, and put his finger over his mouth, signaling for her to be quite.

Eddie jumped out of the boat, and held the broken glass to a boys throat. Y/n hopped out of the boat too, and recognize Dustin from the hellfire meeting the other night.

"Dustin..?" Questioned y/n.

"Yes, it's me. It's Dustin. These are my friends."

"Eddie... these are my friends." Repeated Dustin.

"This is Robin, you know her.. from band?" Questioned Dustin. "And this is Max, the one who never want to play D&D."

Y/n looked over at Max and smiled.

"It's okay Eddie, lower it." Said y/n, looking over at him.

Eddie moved the broken bottle away from the boys throat, and sat next to the wall.

Dustin walked over to him, kneeling down. "We just want to talk." Said Dustin, reaching for the broken bottle.

Eddie flinched, causing Dustin to flinch also.

Robin walked close, kneeling down beside Eddie.

"We just want to know what happened." Robin said, turning off her flashlight.

"You won't believe me." Eddie exclaimed, tears welling in his eyes.

"Try us." Answered Max.

...

"She told me she felt like she was going crazy.." Eddie said, tearing up.

Y/n grabbed his hand, and sat next to him.

"She started, floating.. just floating there. She was out of it, and I couldn't snap her out."

"When y/n got there, she just.." Eddie stuttered, putting his head on her shoulder.

"She slammed on the ceiling.. and her bones.. they just-" y/n exclaimed, staring at the floor.

Eddie wiped his tears, and continued.
