Side Story: Chapter 6:Eddie!? : Y/N's hospital visit

TW: MENTION OF SELF HARM

Dustin's POV

Once me, Y/N, Steve, Nancy, and Robin got out of the upside down, quick visit to Gareth's, we noticed Y/N was slowly passing out due to blood lost. We quickly got to the stolen trailer and rode our way to the hospital. Nancy was putting as much pressure as she could onto the wounds on Y/N waist. "Dustin...", Y/N mumbled, "I'm feeling tired..", they said spitting out blood. "I know..", I hugged their head gently, "You'll be ok.", they nodded as they passed out soon as we arrived to the hospital.

Steve came to the backseats to carry them in there. "MY FRIEND NEEDS HELP!", Robin screamed running in behind Steve. "Oh holy—WE NEED ASSISTANCE!", the lady in the front office said.

An hour later, I had went to go see Y/N after I saw Max and Lucas. Y/N was awake and just sitting there, blankly staring at their hands. "Hey..Y/N.", I said sitting next to them, "Are you ok? Is it about Eddie?", I asked, they just sat there. I held their hand for reassurance. "Gareth is here to see you.", I said as he came in the door.
"Hey Angel.", Gareth said looking at Y/N, "I brought you some cookies if you like to eat some. Also I'm gonna be here everyday for you.", he said sitting at the edge of the bed. Y/N glanced at his hand and looked away, "ok.", they said very quietly.

Robin's POV

The next day, me and Steve went to go see Y/N, Gareth had to go do something really quick. A nurse was bandaging up their arm. "Hey what happened?", I questioned the nurse and then saw the most biggest scars on Y/N's arms, "Oh..Y/N.".
After the nurse was done and left I had hugged Y/N gently. "Have you slept or eaten?", Steve asked. Y/N shook their head. Steve had joined the hug, "You should really get some sleep kiddo.", he said. Gareth had walked in with a hoodie. "I got my hoodie.", Gareth said, "It's cold in here, so here.". Steve and I backed up so Y/N can put on his hoodie. "Thanks.", they quietly said laying down snuggled up in his hoodie.

Nancy's POV

It was Y/N last day in the hospital, their parents were there talking about evacuating to Gareth, so that means they might never see each other again. Y/N asked if they could talk to me and Gareth alone, they nodded to agreement and left the room closing the door.
"So...I don't want to leave you guys.", Y/N said taking deep breaths, "Instead I'm just gonna run away tomorrow, along with Opal all the way to your house, Nancy.", they weakly smiled. "But what if you get caught?", Gareth asked. "I won't, love, I have my ways.", Y/N responded. "Alright then, sounds like a plan!", I said, "You should also have a walkie-talkie on you at least.", I gave them one in their bag. They nodded, "Sure thing Nancy.", Y/N said coming in for a hug but their waist pulse a terrible pain. "Fuck-!", they wailed, "Maybe it's best if you come in for a hug.", we both agreed and hugged.

Gareth's POV

"Hey, Y/N!", I ran into their hospital room with their guitar, "Your parents had brung you guitar wondering if you wanted to play it for a bit.", I said giving it to them. They held it like how they would play it. They started to play, I Hate Myself for Loving You, by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I looked at them as they sang, all I knew was that it was about Eddie, they really seemed to love Eddie. Once they got to a stopping point of playing, they wrapped Eddie's bandanna on the guitar, "Instead of The Beast..", they said, "You are now The Munson Beast.", they looked at me and I blushed. "It's a fitting name.", I kissed them onto the bed. "Gareth~", they chuckled kissing me back . "There my angel, my happy angel.", I said kissing them again.

Y/N POV

After I was running out of my house, I was wheezing and coughing up drops of blood. Opal was looking at me worried. "I'm ok Opal..", I said looking at her. I got out the walkie-talkie Nancy gave me and said, "I'm almost here!", "We see you!", Dustin answered. In a distance I saw Eleven, Will, Mike, Jonathan, and some long haired dude. "ELEVEN!!!", I screamed running faster and jumping into her arms and she swung me around holding on tightly. I was sobbing, happily to see her again.
