mine, eddie munson.

•Chapter II•Vecna's Curse•

i woke up today still thinking about that kiss. it actually was crazy to me. i never thought that would happen, especially like that, in front of everyone. i left mikes HELLA EARLY. he was going to see his stinky poo lover girl so i left at SIX A M! i went to dustin's and as soon as i got there i went straight to his bed back to sleep.
    i woke up to max at his house. max? like me and dustin were equally as confused to see her. she started talking about how eddie, my eddie, murdered chrissy cunningham, the cheerleader. like no. "they don't even talk, do they?" i ask dustin but get ignored.
    they talk for awhile, occasionally talking to me but i'm half asleep so they barely bother. all i know is they dragged me out of the house to find eddie who apparently ran away.
    i do have a car that i rarely drive but it was at my house and i didn't wanna go there so i had to bike super early in the morning. i did not have fun with that.
    we went to where robin and steve's work to call all eddie's friends to find him. we found out he crashes at his dealer ricks house. robin has the idea to look in their store system for people named rick.
    they sure as hell found him too. before they know it they're closing the store for the day and on their way to the house of a drug dealer named reefer rick.
we pull up to the house. we ring the doorbell multiple times, no answer. we start yelling and banging on the door.
max called us over, "hey guys" she was looking at a boat house. we walk into the boat house looking around for him when steve starts stabbing a tarp with an oar, like the genius he is.
"what are you doing? what are you doing?" dustin asks him. "he might be in here." steve replies. they argue about taking the tarp off and steve's oar when i bud in.
"if neither of you are gonna take the tarp off i will because if you jab him with that oar. i'll beat your ass harrington." i say as i take off the tarp when eddie pops up, pushes steve against the wall with a knife to his neck.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH! EDDIE! EDDIE!STOP! EDDIE! EDDIE! it's me. it's dustin. and look" dustin points to me. "it's jordan. see. this is steve, he's not gonna hurt you, right steve?" "yeah yeah right." steve mumbles. "steve why don't you drop the oar." steve drops it and eddie pushes the knife in more.
"HES COOL Hes cool." dustin tells eddie "what are you doing here?" eddie asks not looking away from steve. "we're looking for you" me and dustin say together. "we're here to help" robin says.
"eddie these are my friends." i say. "you know robin, from band. and this is my friend max. the one who never wants to play D&D." dustin tells him. "eddie. we are on your side" i say slowly walking towards him.
"i swear on my mother." dustin agrees and everyone swears on dustin's mom. eddie hesitantly removes the knife from steve's neck. and eddie moves away.
eddie slides down the wall and i sit with him. "eddie. we just want to talk. okay?" dustin tells him. "we wanna know what happened." robin says.
"you won't believe me." eddie mumbles. "try us" says max. "her body just like... lifted up into the air, and uh...and she just, like, hung there. i'm the air. and her bones... uh, she..." eddie quietly informs us as he slightly winces.
"her bones started to snap. her eyes man. it... it was like there was something, like inside her head, pulling. i... i didn't know what to do, so i... i ran away. i left her there. " he pauses. "you all thinkin crazy, right?"
"no eddie. none of us think your crazy, we believe you. it's okay." i say as i wrap an arm around him for a hug. "don't bullshit me man! i know how this sounds." eddie says louder. "we're not bullshitting you." max says. "jordan's right, we believe you" robin informs him.
eddie just shakes his head. dustin starts explaining to eddie the kind of stuff we deal with, and how hawkins is sort of cursed. and the upside down and whatnot.
i don't pay much attention to him. i'm focused on eddie. i was so worried. i might not have shown it at first, but that must be hard being blamed for a murder that isn't your fault at all.
he pulls me closer as they talk and we hug. i listen to their conversation for a second and hear that somehow, a monster from their game, named vecna, is the monster wizard thing.
they finish up talking and ever says goodbye. i don't wanna leave though. "danny, you better hurry up or we're leaving without you." steve says. "omg wait a damn second." i say as steve sighs and goes outside.
"listen, eddie, it'll be okay. i swear. i'm here okay. we'll be back soon. tomorrow probably, at least i will. okay, i promise." i say as i hug him tightly. it was one of the best hugs i've ever had. "okay, we'll they're waiting so i should uh get to it i guess." i say and laugh dryly.
i'm almost out the door when eddie says, "WAIT jordan. okay so i'm not scared obviously but uh... could you maybe stay with me tonight because i uh don't wanna be alone..." he tells me. OF COURSE I WILL. i think to myself
"yeah, of course. but you'll be there if i get scared though, right?" i tell him. "obviously." he tells me.
"JORDAN YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO GET IN THE DAMN CAR BEFORE WE LEAVE YOU" steve yells. "IM STAYING HERE DOUCHE" i yell back. dustin starts to say, "have fun with your honey bunches. we'll be back first thing."
"kay, see ya then" i was so excited ngl. like me, jordan hopper, i'm staying with EDDIE MUNSON?!?!!? like what.i've been head over heels for him since i first saw him. but moving out of my head.
"jordan uhh i hope you weren't expecting a comfy bed with pillows and blankets though, i sleep in the boat..." "i do not care eddie, really it's fine." i assure him and we get in the boat together.
as we're laying down, my head on his chest, his arms around me i slowly drift away into sleep. and i slept good that night.
