CHAPTER FOURTY THREE

♡

AMELIA HEAVILY FLINCHED UPON REALISING Dr Brenner was looking at her, yelling angrily at her as his eyes turned white. "Why don't you take a seat..."

Instead of complying, Amelia bolted past him and sprinted through the corridors in an attempt to get out of this prison.

♡

Steve Harrington had never been more terrified in his life.

They had been so close, so close to getting out of the dimension and back to safety. Back to a Walkman with the song she loved. Back with him, safe and sound.

But now, as his hands trembled and he continuously shook Amelia helplessly, he couldn't even deny the feelings of regret or the feelings of anger. If only they'd worked it out sooner.

"Amelia, come on— wake up!" He yelled out, his hands cupping the back of her head as he rocked her slightly. He then turned to the gate on the ceiling. "Whatever you guys are doing, hurry up!"

Nancy, who currently stood beside Steve just as panicked, shook her head slightly. "Screw this," she muttered before grabbing the rope and pulling herself up and back to her world.

Once she landed, Erica helped her up before the two girls ran into Eddie's room. "You guys need to hurry the fuck up!"

"Yeah? No shit!" Dustin snapped back, desperately searching through Eddie's CDs for something to save his sister.

Max then angrily knocked a stack on the ground. "We're trying— we can't find anything!"

"Seriously, what is all this shit?!" Robin yelled at Eddie, sitting on his bed and holding up the Metalhead CDs.

"What are you even looking for?" Eddie asked in a panic, dropping his tapes on the ground as he approached her.

"Steve Nicks, Blondie, Bowie, Queen, Tears For Fears, Duran Duran? Music! We need music!"

Eddie snatched a CD from her hand angrily, holding it up. "THIS IS MUSIC! Amelia likes my music!"

Robin shook her head. "Who lied to you?!"

Nancy, who was now dramatically searching a shelf, turned to them in a panic. "Were you guys not fucking listening when we yelled up to you the Bryan Adams song?!"

"... Bryan Adams?!" Eddie asked in disbelief, pausing as he looked at the Wheeler girl in shock. "She never mentioned anything about Bryan Adams!"

"Steve said it's her guilty pleasure!"

"Oh my God!"

♡

The girl ran like her life depended on it, reaching a doorway that had been boarded shut. She panted for breath, ensure of what to do before she began yanking the wooden barricades from it. "Son of a..."

"Amelia..."

She paused, slowly turning around to see the creature once more slowly advance towards her. Amelia shivered slightly, knowing she had nowhere to run, that it would get her eventually.
