111 • EDDIE MUNSON X READER

22

"i would've never don't this to you" i said gulping as my voice had already started shaking and so did my hands.

"we swear we didn't mean to.." eddie said.

"i. would've. never. fucking. done this. to any of you" i said, stopping in between every sentence to catch my breath as i had already burst out into tears.

"don't communicate with me" i said, standing up and grabbing the bag.

"y/n, please wait" dustin said, coming to me as he stood in front.

"move back" i said, staring to to his eye which slightly intimidated him.

"you guys fucking hurt me, physically, emotionally and verbally, and i'm going to have to deal with this trauma for a long time, yet pretend it didn't affect me because i'm sure all of your standards for me are high now that we all know i have these stupid powers i wish i didn't have. i don't want to communicate with ANY of you, ever, again." i said, catching my breath as i spoke quickly, before budging through dustin and walking up the stairs.

"Y/N WAIT-" max shouted as i made my way to the top of the stairs.

"FOR FUCKING WHAT? PEOPLE THAT FUCKING BETRAYED ME? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND MAX?" i shouted as my voice broke down and cracked.

"here.." she said, making her way to me and handing me the keys to the house

"please get home safe, it's all that i want from you.." she said, quickly hugging me, as i sighed and left the house.

"y/n.. everything okay?" karen said, as she chopped up some veggies in the kitchen.

i stopped and looked at her.

she looked at me and smiled slightly, but also looked concerned.

i just approached her and hugged her, as she choked my head in her hands and pulled me in close.

"is everything alright y/n?" she said, pulling my head back and making eye contact.

i teared up, but those tears were quickly wiped away.

"don't cry y/n, you're too pretty to cry"

i laughed at her comment and sniffed.

"i wish i could agree Ms Wheeler, thank you for being such an amazing lady, best of luck" i said, before hugging her again, but this time breaking down.

"woah woah woah... y/n? why are you wishing me the best of luck? is something going on orrr?"

"yes Ma'am, it was amazing meeting you" i said,
"i wouldn't say the same for your son though" i whispered before letting go off of her grip and smiling at her before turning around.

ugh, of course everyone was already upstairs staring, especially mike who looked extremely unhappy.

i left the house and ran back to the trailer of mine.

i was starving. and i think that breakfast was prepared for me, those veggies Ms Karen was chopping up..

i felt kind of guilty, until i got home and found my mom, as usual, passed out on the sofa with the TV on and a bottle of wine on the coffee table.

i sighed and went into my room, shutting the door before looking through my cassette tapes to find the right song.

it was when i played master of puppets, that i realised that it reminded me of eddie.

i took the cassette tape out and smashed in against the wall in anger, before falling into a puddle of tears on my bed.

i gasped, trying to catch my breath as i almost suffocated from all the crying.

i stayed in bed for so long, until i heard a knock on my door.

"go away" i said in my shaky voice.

obviously my reply was ignored and the door opened.

i didn't even dare to look who it was.

"thank you for saving my life" i heard max say behind me as she hugged me.

i didn't reply.

"what's wrong?"

"things remind me of people"

"things?"

"a song" i said, gasping for air, "my favourite song"

"master of.." max said.

"puppets.." another voice said quietly, as i heard the cassette tape being picked up.

"master of puppets" the person said, sighing.

it was eddie, to NO ONES surprise.

"go away" i said to max, and anyone else in the room.

i spent the last 4 days of spring break rotting in my own room, staying up all night for no reason.

in the end, i ended up with eye bags, i brushed hair, creased clothes, basically me in my worst state, AND school begun in 8 hours.

it was 12am, monday just started as midnight hit.
and it wasn't surprising to see me staying up, staring into the distance of my room, trying to resist weed.

oh and.. i did get addicted again. it made me feel something... you know?

but my weed has been... running out, so i'll need someone to help me, and i figured out an idea.

if i got chrissy, the QUEEN of hawkins to meet up with eddie and get some drugs for me, eddie will obviously give her some since everyone loves her.

it was a great plan, that i had thought about for the whole night until it was time to get ready.

i went to the bathroom and brushed my knotted hair, struggling.

it took me 40 minutes to brush my hair out, luckily i still had enough time to get ready for school.

but in the end of my brushing session with my god-awful hair, i ended up with a sore arm, but also a hair brush that had pulled out a little too much hair.

i ran my fingers through my, finally brushed hair, a smile formed on my face as my hair was now freely moving around, but that smile faded when i noticed the many bald patches on my head because of the crazy amounts of hair that had been pulled out as i brushed my hair.

i teared up at the view. what do i do?
that's right, not care at all because i'm not friends with anyone anymore, so why would i feel the need to impress someone or something?

i got out of the bathroom and changed, before having the last pieces of my favourite cereal that had been provided for me.

max ate with me,noticing the clumps of hair that fallen out and questioning, but i ignored and it was quiet, and i left the house before she even had the chance to finish her food.
