Ho Hey - Eddie Munson

Delivery Service

So before we start this chapter I want to start off by saying thank you to all of you for reading my book. I love reading all your comments, literally as soon as I wake up and as soon as I get home from school, I open Wattpad to see what you guys have said. It really makes my day :)

Secondly, I know a lot of you guys are creative and I was thinking about maybe doing some competition thing where you guys make a cover page for this story and I choose my favourite one to make the new cover!

Anyways, lets get onto this chapter :)

"Jesus Christ, all of this shit should last him a fucking month," Adira groaned out as she let out a loud huff. Her fingers were starting to hurt as the circulation was cut off by the plastic bag handles that were packed to the top with a bunch of food

The group made their way down to the boat house and swung the door open to see Eddie who was standing up near the window with a worried look on his face, "Jesus christ!" he exclaimed as he raised his hands up towards them in defence, thinking that they were the cops or someone who was there to turn him in

"Hey sweetheart," Adira said attempting to  impersonate his voice when he said it to her as she grinned over at him. He was still on edge though as soon as he saw Adira he instantly calmed down, his shoulders relaxing and a small smile rolling onto his lips.

"Hey sweetheart," Eddie replied with a small chuckle.

"Nope no, not happening," Steve quickly interjected and placed his bags down onto the ground with a loud thud

"Delivery service," Dustin said with a wide grin as they waved the bags and bags of food in front of him, quickly trying to change the subject. Steve and Adira did a little wave thing, making Eddie raise his right eyebrow a little bit as he watched their synced movements.

Adira was the first one to walk over to him and place the bags down in front of him, then the rest of them did the same. Eddie didn't say anything as he began digging through the bags and then pulling out some cereal and opening the box like a wild animal and using his hand to eat it. It was clear that he was starving, so all of them were doing their best not to comment on the way that he was eating

"So we got uh... some good news and we got some bad news," Dustin spoke up as they all got comfortable. Eddie went and sat down in the boat whilst the others just crowded around the boat. Adira gave Dustin a weird look, she couldn't remember there being any good news, "how do you prefer it?" Dustin asked Eddie

Eddie took a swig of his drink and looked at Dustin, shrugging his shoulders, "bad news first, always," Eddie said and went back to eating his cereal

"All right. Bad news. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they are definitely looking for you," Dustin said. Adira felt great sympathy as she watched the sad look return to Eddie's tired face.

Adira took a step forward towards Eddie, "also they uh... they are pretty convinced that you were the one who killed Chris," Adira muttered out to him sadly, "as in they aren't even trying to find anyone else who could be suspicious, you are the only one that they are really paying attention to," she added with a small sigh as she rubbed her tired eyes and looked at him with sympathy, though she couldn't really blame the police either because for anyone that didn't know what was actually happening, Eddie did look really suspicious

"Yeah, they are like 100 per cent kind of convinced that you were the one who killed her," Maxine added carefully. They didn't want to upset the boy, they saw him go insane last night with the switch blade, they knew he was unstable at the moment so they made sure to proceed with caution and carefully choose their words

"And the good news?" Eddie asked them, he was sure that whatever this good news was, there was no way that it was going to over power the bad news. He knew that he was pretty much in deep shit right now and he doubted there was any way that he could get out of it

"The good news is, is that your name hasn't been released to the public yet, but if we found out then that means it is only a matter of time that everybody else in Hawkins finds out too. And once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is going to be gunning for you," Robin explained to him, pretty much confirming his theory that there was no good news that would overbear the bad news

"Hunt the freak, right?" Eddie muttered out in annoyance and disbelief

"C'mon Eddie, you arent a freak," Adira tried to tell him but he just scoffed, he knew that he was a freak, and he knew that everybody else knew that too

"Yes I am Adira, I'm the freak. And they are going to come hunting for me right?" Eddie added, looking around at them all

"Exactly," Robin said and nodded her head

"Shit," Eddie muttered out. His chest began to ache as he thought about how much trouble he was in right now and the fact that he was in trouble for something that he didn't even do. As soon as people found out that he was the number one suspect, people were going to come looking for him. Chrissy Cunningham was loved by many, whereas Eddie Munson was loved by almost none. They would want revenge for the girls death.

"But we arent going to let that happen to you Eddie, we will just have to make sure that nobody finds you until this is all sorted out," Adira told hi, trying to make him feel better and less worried about the situation. But even she knew that there was no use, the fact of the matter was, it was about to be hunting season, and Eddie was the target

"Adira is right. So before that happens. We need to find Vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence," Dustin explained as if it were the most obvious and simple task in the world. Adira rolled her eyes, she didn't understand why Dustin was trying to lay it out like it was all going to be an easy ride and it was all going to turn out okay.

People had died last time they fought a monster from the upside-down, and that was when they had a girl with god damn super powers, how did he think that they were going to manage when it was just them. They were royally screwed.

"That is all Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asked him sarcastically, clearly thinking that Dustin was also insane for thinking that it was all just going to be a piece of cake. they were about to go up against an unknown, undead monster with an unknown power level.

"Yeah, no that, yeah that is pretty much it," Dustin said enthusiastically as he nodded his head.

"Listen Eddie. I know that everything that Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we have actually been through this kind of thing before," Robin said as she leaned forwards and tried to calm the boy down and make him feel better about the whole situation, "I mean, they have gone through it a... a few times and... and I have once. Mine was more human flesh based, and theirs was more smoke-related..." 

The rest of the group all gave her a funny look and she quickly changed the subject, obviously they weren't amused by her small joke

"But the bottom line is, collectively, I really feel that we have got this," Robin said, trying to keep up the enthusiasm in the group
