✩ His Angel ✩ | Eddie Munson x Reader

04

Dustin cleared his throat. "So uhm, Eddie?" Eddie looked up at Dustin and you glanced at Dustin, wanting to hear what he has to say. "Me and Mike were thinking since you know, Lucas has that shoot-balls-into-laundry-baskets game, maybe we could...oh I don't know..." Mike groaned, "We were thinking about postponing it!" The whole table erupted into argument. "SHUT UP!!" Eddie yelled which was uncalled for and made you jump. "So you're saying, Sinclair's been taken in by the dark side?" "Something like that—" Dustin and Mike both started before Eddie throw an almond at them. "Jesus Christ!" Dustin muttered.

"So, instead of trying to find a sub for him, you want...you want to postpone 'The Cult of Venca'?!" Eddie asked, slightly furious by now. "I don't wanna postpone it! We don't wanna postpone it! It's just...the subs will be at the championship game." Eddie got out of his seat and walked away from the table before swiftly turning around. "Oh, it's the championship game?" "Yeah?" Mike replied, slightly hesitant. "Can I level with you?" Mike stared at Eddie. "Jeff graduates this year, Gareth's got, what? Like year and a half? Me, I am army-crawling my way to a D in Ms. O'Donnell's. If I don't blow her final." You started chuckling. "I'm gonna walk that stage next month. I'm gonna look Principal Higgins dead in the eye. I'm gonna flip him the bird!" Eddie started flipping off air. "I'm gonna snatch that diploma! And then I'm gonna run like hell outta here!" Eddie started laughing and so did you and Dustin, Mike couldn't refrain from smiling.

- After school
You parked your bike by putting up the kick stand and waved goodbye, Eddie seemed to disappear somewhere in the woods, you shrugged.

"He's probably going off to go smoke or something." You muttered to yourself. You went inside and closed the door, locking yourself in your room as you put your headphones on and blasted some music.

- The next morning
You woke up from your "little nap" and realized there were cops outside Eddie's trailer, you looked outside if your window and examined the situation, the police seemed to be asking some man questions.

'Isn't that Eddie's uncle?' You asked yourself. You walked outside to try to get a peek inside the trailer.

"Miss, you're not supposed to be here, you can only get this close if you were a witness or saw some suspicious activity." You grumbled and clenched your fists. You saw Eddie's uncle again and walked back to your trailer. Suddenly you decided to go to Dustin's and tell him about the situation if he didn't know already.

After getting to Dustin's place, you knocked on the door and he answered. "Oh! Need something Y/N?" You pushed through the door. "Did you hear the news?" You asked quickly, Dustin shook his head. "Apparently someone died in Eddie's trailer, and it's not Eddie that's dead." Dustin looked relieved. "Wanna explain what happened?" You nodded and started explaining what you knew.

"Alrighty! I'm going to the gang and tell them about this. Wanna come?" You declined. "No thanks, I need some time to think about this.." Dustin frowned but nodded and rushed out of his house. You got on your bike and road back to your house.

- Around 30 minutes later
You noticed a car pull up by the trailer and Steve with kids you didn't recognize, well, except for Dustin and the same girl at Scoops Ahoy. Steve knocked on the door and you slowly opened it and poked your head out.

"Y/N, have you seen Eddie anywhere?" Steve asked. "What you wanna report him to the police or something?" You asked, glaring at Steve. "Uh no, we think he's innocent." Steve hesitated. "Sounds like bullshit." You cursed. "Well, we heard you know some of what happened, care too elaborate?" You opened the door wider so everyone could enter. You sat them on the couch so you could explain.

"Basically, I saw Eddie disappear into the woods after school, when I woke up the next day I saw his uncle being interrogated by police that were surrounding the trailer. I tried to look inside to get a peek or something but one officer told me to go away unless I was a witness or saw something suspicious." Steve sighed then nodded. "Well we're out to find him, wanna come?" You nodded slowly.

After exploring for what felt like forever you guys finally found some rundown shed behind a old looking house. You stared at it. "Might as well check it out." You suggested, shrugging your shoulders. The rest agreed and you slowly opened it. Steve had some paddle and you don't even remember him having it. Then again, you were in a haze.
