Phoebe Wheeler had battled demogorons, demo dogs and the mind flayer, but she had never vandalised anything in her life. And Eddie Munson just persuaded her to launch eggs off some scums window. He deserved it of course he did but now she slightly regret it as they were stopped near the woods van broken down and rain pelting down.
She swore as she kicked her foot the cold rushing through her as she shivered "We uh.. We might have to walk." He muttered looking up at her and then back down to his popped tire "I don't have any spares."
"Fuck" She mumbled looking around them realising her house was only a couple minutes walk "We could walk to my place? You could stay the night, i know i was meant to be staying over at yours but uh i'm still pretty high Eddie i really don't think i can walk a hour."
He nodded taking her hand, she glanced up at his curls now even messier and curlier due to the rain she smiled looking back down as they started the walk.
"So you start school again in three days." She started making polite conversation as they walked hand in hand along the road.
"Oh yeah baby. 86' is gonna be my year i can feel it! No i can taste!!" He yelled into the open air, she let out a low laugh.
"So when you go back you gonna have your hellfire meetings there?"
"Most of them probably. I don't know yet, the kids love it though i'm glad. I like showing them that no matter what your into it doesn't make you a freak."
"Hhm yeah i think Dustin needed that more then Mike. He's my favourite you know.. Out of Mikes friends i mean, he's like i don't know my little brother? They all are in a way especially after the.." She paused mentally smacking herself "After the dance"
She regained posture and Eddie gave her a side glance before she continued "Me and Steve dropped Dustin off at his dance we waited half a hour in that stupid car and when he came out his hair was all perfect and then we went in with him.. Well i did and no one wanted to dance with him, so i offered. I've never seen him so happy." She smiled remembering that day and then remembering the day Dustin dragged them out to the woods to look for his new 'pet' which in fact turned out to be a demo dog. Now that was something she could never tell Eddie.
"He's a sweet kid. I wish i got to meet Will." Eddie turned noticing the pain that flashed through Phoebes eyes at the mention.
"Yeah he loved DnD, a lot more then the others actually.." She smiled.
"Lucas told me all about him, he left not long ago right?"
"Uh yeah three weeks now." She remembered that day all too well, the tears she shared for the younger boy and especially El.
"I can tell you love them Pheebs." Her heart pounded and her hand trembled in his own at the use of the nickname that only her friends call her.
He held her hand a little tighter "Oh i really do, Ed's"
