The game of love (Eddie Munson x masc reader)

Things are just getting stranger

Y/n's POV

We walk into the office and look around the room, Max walks off towards the student files.

"It's like a mini-Watergate or something" Dustin points out, "Hawkinsgate"

"Didn't those guys get caught?" Steve asks.

"Holy shit," Max says.

"You found it?" I ask her walking towards her.

"Yeah, and not just Chrissy's file, Fred was seeing Ms. Kelley too," She says looking at us worried.

Max sits down and opens Chrissy's file as she starts reading it, we hold our flashlights above Max so that she's able to see what's in them.

"Can I see Fred's file?" She asks Steve and he hands her the files turning around as we all move closer to her trying to see what she might have found.

"Max, what is it?" Dustin asks her worried as she looks down at the file concerned, "Max, max!" Dustin shouts.

"Max, what's wrong? What is it?" I ask her moving my hand to her shoulder when she doesn't move.

"Max, come on," Dustin says.

"Max?" Steve asks, Max jumps up, getting out of her trance and looks around worried.

She stands up and walks out of the room, we look at each other worried but follow her, she stops at the end of the hallway, looking at the wall confused.

"What is it?" I ask her, the doors open and we hear footsteps, I turn around and see Robin and Nancy running towards us.

"There was, I saw something, a grandfather clock" Max explains, as Robin and Nancy join us, "It was here, right here," She says.

"A grandfather clock?" Robin asks her.

"It was so real," She tells us, "And then when I got closer, suddenly I just... I woke up"

"It was like she was in a trance or something, exactly what you and Eddie said happened to Chrissy"

"No, don't say that, this was different, I mean we weren't able to get Chrissy out of her trance, but Max was able to wake up," I tell Dustin, hating the idea of Max possibly being in danger.

"That's not even the bad part," Max says turning around worried, her eyes wide open with fear.

We all follow Max as she walks back to the office, she moves behind the table grabbing the files and we all stand around her.

"Fred and Chrissy, they both came to Ms. Kelley for help," She says moving the files closer to us so we can read them, "Uh, they were both having headaches, bad headaches, that just wouldn't go away. And then... then the nightmares" She explains, her voice changing, her tone higher, she sounds like she's about to cry, and I can't help but think of the worst, and worry.

"Trouble sleeping, they'd wake up in a cold sweat, and then they started seeing things, bad things, from their past, these visions they just... they kept getting worse and worse, until eventually... everything ended" She finishes explaining, her eyes slightly watery.

"Vecna's curse" Robin adds.

"Chrissy's headaches started a week ago, Fred's six days ago, I've been having them for five days," She says, I turn to look at Steve worried, and he looks back at me, both of us in utter worry, he moves his hand cover his mouth as he looks away, and I bring my hand up to my head.

"I don't know how long I have, all I know is that, for Fred and Chrissy, they both died less than 24 hours after their first vision, and I just saw that goddamn clock, so..." She shouts as she starts to cry, and it takes everything in me, not to breakdown.
