"Fuck! Nance? Nance?" Steve shouts. "Whatever you guys are doing you better hurry!"

I shout to Eddie, "You seriously don't have Billy Joel?!" I hurry throwing all his tapes onto the floor wile the rest of them scamper through the room.

"We need some real music, Munson!" Robin shouts out, looking around his dirty, messed up room.

"This is real music!" He yells at Nancy holding one of the tapes angrily, he looks back at me his expression softened but still nervously frightened. "And why the fuck would I have Billy Joel!"

Robin looks through the tapes with me, the fact that my hands are shaking isn't helping. Max paces around, "What the hell do I do?!" She puts her hands out and Lucas grabs her taking her to the other room to check on Steve and Nancy.

Dustin quests and shouts and Eddie shouts back. It all feels so overwhelming, knowing that Nancy is in the same situation I was in, knowing that she could not make it and it's up to us if she does. I didn't know I was crying till Robin grabbed my shoulder. I look up to her and her eyebrows are creased with concern, "Hey, everything's going to be alright." I nod, i don't know if i can speak right now. There's shouting. From Eddie, Dustin, Steve, Erica, Max, and Steve again?

"Nancy!" Steve shouts. I get up to my feet in a dash, running over to the living room, almost tripping on the dirty laundry and music tapes scattered on the floor. Nancy's awake, she's crying in Steve's arms as they sit on the grimy trailer floor. "What happened?" He whispered to Nancy and I feel my eyes well.

He let her go, he let her come back to us without any music drawing her back to this reality. Nancy and Steve finally come down from the mattress and all of us come to them to give them sentiments and love. "Let's go to my trailer," Max speaks up. "They won't look for Eddie there." We all nod and make our way to Max's house.

We pile in and I sit on the couch, Eddie beside me. Eddie puts his hand on my upper knee, rubbing it absent mindedly. I lay on his shoulder, burying my face into him. "Do you want your jacket back?" I mumble into his shoulder and he laughed, his body rumbles.

"I mean it would be preferable but if your cold princess, by all means keep it." He turns and kisses my forehead, putting his hands on my face and lifting me to look at him.

I let out a shaky breath, "Eddie, i'm scared." His face turns almost like a sad puppy. He brings me into his chest and I let out tears. I don't know what i've got myself wrapped into. I haven't actually slept for almost a week. I miss my bed. I miss showering. I take off his jacket and put it on his lap, he smiles and puts it on. I sniffle, "I think your jacket looks better on you."

"He was showing me things..." Nancy starts. I wanted to hear her, I really did. But exhaustion overcame me, and I fell asleep on Eddie's shoulder, holding his hand.
