⚡️Vecna's curse⚡️ part 2

It was 12 hours after my vision. Gareth didn't leave my side after what happened, however I still wouldn't open up about what i saw to him. I didn't want to worry him, or make him think that i was crazy.
We were now both hanging out with Eddie, Robin, Steve, Max, Dustin, Lucas and Nancy.

We had all become good friends, and often hung out at Skull rock.
"Yeah it was like she was in a trance." Gareth said, still concerned for me.
"I could only see the whites of her eyes. It took a good 3 minutes for her to snap back." He said, his arm around me.

Eddie looked scared all of a sudden,
I looked at him with interest. Before noticing Max looking concerned as well.
"Chrissy.." Eddie said with a low whisper
"Vecna.." Max said at the same time.

I was now growing more nervous. I had thought this was nothing, and was honestly expecting to be whizzed off to some sort of mental hospital.
"That sounds exactly like what happened with Chrissy." Eddie repeated quietly.
"Y/n, have you had nosebleeds, nightmares.. anything like that?" Max said
I looked down at the floor, Twiddling my thumbs.
"All of the above." I said.
Dustin started panicking.
"Hey hey it's alright- Max survived it right??" Robin said hopefully.
"Yeah.. i think if it comes to it, Y/n can escape." Max said, smiling at me.

I just looked at Gareth anxiously, Who looked back at me, unsure of what to say. He had angry tears bubbling up in his eyes,
"You can't die.. tell me you won't die!" He said, bringing me in close to him, holding my head on his shoulder.

I had only ever seem him cry once.
"I won't die Gareth. I promise." I said, staring off into space.
I was expecting a 'gross' from Robin or a 'get a room' from Steve, but they watched in silence.
Huh. Maybe i matter to them.

——
We stayed at Skull rock a few more hours, until everyone started to go home. Dustin was getting up to leave, and walked to Gareth.
"If anything happens, radio me, IMMEDIATELY." He said.
Gareth took the radio that Dustin offered to him and nodded.
Robin decided to stay with us, she was one of my closest friends aside from the hellfire club. Her and Gareth being the only 2 people i knew who were actually the same age as me.

We all sat chatting, sat on the leafy floor around Skull rock.
The sun was beginning to set in the distance. I was feeling relaxed, and at ease.

"So, Robin." I said sneakily,
"You and Steve?" I followed, raising my eyebrows with a cheeky smile on my face.
Gareth smiled.
"I knew there was something goin' on there."
Her reaction wasn't what I expected,
"No! No Steve and i are just friends. Platonic with a capital P." She said firmly.

Although Gareth decided he was going to push it, possibly a bit far.
"Ya sure?" He asked.
She then started to look uncomfortable.
"Robin-?"
"I like girls!"

...
She covered her hand in shock at what she just blurted.
I glanced at Gareth, as if to say 'that's not what I expected.' She then instantly looked uncomfortable, and nervous.
"I'm gonna go home." She said quickly standing up.
"Wait- Robin!" I said urgently. She stopped and turned to face me, tears in her eyes.

"Its ok Robin. Thats fine." I said reassuringly.
She wiped her face,
"You're being serious..?" She said slowly.
I nodded and looked at Gareth expectantly.
Who quickly nodded in return.
"Of course! Sorry though, it didn't look like you meant to tell us." I said scratching my neck.
"But we support you." I said.
She sat back down again
"Really..?" She said
"Yes. So, is there a girl?" I asked

We spent the next half hour talking about this girl that Robin mentioned, her name being Vickie.

Gareth's POV:
It really wasn't what I expected, Robin liking girls. I'm ok with it though, so the three of us talked about the girl she has a crush on, before I noticed Y/n going quiet.
"Y/n-? Oh shit.."
"Shit!"
"Robin call Dustin!"
"CALL DUSTIN!"
