Sober {Eddie Munson}

Old Cologne,Weed, and Stale Beer

Eddie's trailer smelled. It smelled like old cologne, weed, and stale beer. Marguerite found herself wrinkling her nose as he ushered her in.
"My uncle's working an extra shift tonight so he won't be home." Eddie softly said
"Whatever. Wheres my stuff I brought extra in case you want it." Marguerite said waving a 50 in the air.
"About that..." Eddie said plopping on the couch "I don't have it."
"Then why the hell did you tell me to come in here?" Marguerite glared
"I just wanted to talk to you." Eddie laughed
"Yeah I'm gonna pass." Marguerite said turning to the door
"You walk out and you'll have to find a new dealer." Eddie said

Marguerite slowly turned to face the long haired boy.

"The truth is, Maggie...can I call you that?" Eddie asked
"No." She responded

She hadn't gone by Maggie since Billy had died. Nowadays not even Steve was allowed to say Maggie.

"Okay... Marguerite then. I love all the business you've given me this year. But you've been buying alot recently and to be honest I'm kinda worried." Eddie sighed
"Worried about what? Running out of supplies?" Marguerite laughed
"No definitely not that. I'm worried about how much you're consuming. I mean shit how often are you even fully sober these days?" Eddie sighed

Not since the Byers had moved away.

"I'm sober all the time Munson." She lied
"Really? Let's take a sobriety test then?" Eddie said.
"I'm not doing shit for you." Marguerite replied "Just stop meddling in how I spend my personal time."
"How about instead of me selling you drugs tonight, I buy a pizza we rent a shitty movie and just hang out. As friends." Eddie pushed
"In your god damn dreams." Marguerite said before opening the door and walking out.

°°°
Three hours later Marguerite found herself waking drenched in cold sweat. Another nightmare. It was the same thing ever time. Billy dying in Max's arms. Steve running towards her and pulling her to him as she sobbed on the stupid Starcourt floor. Normally she'd drink a glass of water and then call Steve. Instead, she found herself knocking on Eddie's trailer hoping he wasn't asleep.

Marguerite was met with Eddie opening the trailer door and a waft of smoke coming out.

"Maggie? What're you doing?" He asked
"You still up for that pizza?" Marguerite asked holding up a VHS tape of Back to the Future.
