Steve noticed a tarp and pointed it out. "Hey guys! I found a tarp." You stared at the tarp. "Well take it off or something dumbass I don't know." Steve looked at you. "Okay jeez Ms. Bossy Pants." You glared at him and stepped back. Steve started poking the tarp with the paddle and started to say something but was caught off guard when something lunged at him with half a beer bottle. It was Eddie!

"Oh my god Eddie!" You called out, both happy he wasn't hurt and taken aback by his sudden attack. Steve was pushed against the wall with the sharp end of the beer bottle pressed against his neck. "Eddie! Calm down, we're not here to report you to the police or anything like that." Robin nodded, "Yeah, we wanna help you." Eddie kept his gaze locked on Steve but just mumbled something. You walked over to Eddie and out your hand on his shoulder, he quickly turned his head and you swore you heard his neck crack or something. You stepped back, taken aback as you put your hands up in the air.
"We're not here to hurt you. We want to help you Eddie." Dustin said, Eddie kept his gaze locked on you this time but still kept Steve in a hold. "Steve out the paddle down!" Dustin called out, Steve immediately dropped it and Eddie pushed the bottle closer to his neck. Everyone started shouting with worry, "Eddie chill out! We're here to help I swear on my mother! Right guys?" Everyone nodded and Robin added, "Yeah! We swear on his mother." Eddie finally eased off of Steve. Steve sighed and walked to the side to hold his throat after almost getting killed. "Eddie I know you didn't kill, uh what was her name—" You stopped to think. "It was Chrissy, Chrissy Cunningham." You nodded. "We—well, I know that you didn't kill Chrissy I mean how could someone like you break so many bones like that without her screaming?" You felt Eddie glare at you. "No offense-" You quickly added. "None taken."

After Eddie explained the situation, you patted him on the shoulder for support, you were the only one that was close to him at the moment, as if they were scared of him or something.

"Eddie what happened at your trailer?" You asked as Eddie glanced at you. "C-Chrissy she, needed something and I went to get it from my room and when I came back it looked like she was in a trance," Eddie started, glancing at everyone staring at him. "I tried to wake her up but soon enough she started floating in the air and her bones...they...they started breaking. Obviously that's when I screamed and you came over but I had already rushed into the forest the time you got there." Eddie stared at you again.

Steve had his arms crossed for whatever reason. "We'll help you Eddie, like tell you the recent news about Chrissy's sudden death and get you some food and drinks." Dustin said. "Speaking of food, I'm kinda hungry right now," Eddie said, holding a hand to his stomach. Dustin nodded and gathered us to go get some food for Eddie.

While you guys were walking back to the shed you held a cereal box and some random drink, which you think was beer?
(I actually don't remember what it was🧍‍♀️)

"And why am I the one carrying the stuff again?" You asked. "Well because your gonna give it to him!" Dustin replied. "Yeah but can't Robin or Steve do that?" You groaned. Everyone shrugged, and you frowned. When you guys arrived, Dustin kicked down the door and Eddie jumped, he was crouched down by the window. You crouched down next to Eddie and handed him the cereal and drink. He smiled and crawled over to what looked like a blanket just sitting on the ground. Eddie started eating and you sat down next to him again, everyone kept their distance...again.

Dustin started explaining the whole Vecna thing, how Chrissy was probably cursed and Upside Down place and how there might be a gate to the Upside Down at Lovers Lake.

"Am I the only one confused right now?" You suddenly chimed in. "Oh yeah, sorry, we kinda had to bring you in since you're...you know...here." Dustin hesitated, you glared at Dustin. "Well no shit Sherlock." Eddie chuckled. Dustin started talking about some plan where'd they go to Lovers Lake at night and look for the gate.

- 9:29 PM
There was one small white boat with an engine that didn't work. Apparently only Steve, Robin, Eddie and Nancy were going on the boat.

"Why cant I go on?!" Dustin complained. "We weigh more since we're older, we don't wanna sink the boat," Steve replied. Dustin groaned as he approached me and the two other kids and sat down next to you. You turned to the other two as the boat set off. "So, what's your names?" The girl turned to you, removing the binoculars from her face. "I'm Max, thats Lucas." She said pointed at the boy next to her. You nodded, realizing you were the oldest out of the three. "Ugh, did they really leave me to babysit?!" You complained as you hugged your knees. Dustin put his hand on your shoulder. "It's okay! Normally Steve is the one babysitting." You turned to Dustin. "Well then, this better be the only time I'm quote-on-quote 'babysitting'."

- 10:00
After like 30 minutes later you seriously started to worry, the boat hadn't moved and it seems like no ones on it either.

"When are they coming back up?" Right as you said that, they came back up, you were relived to see that everyone was alright. The boat docked and you rushed over to the group. "Thank god you guys are alright! I was started to get worried," You sighed, smiling. You noticed Steve was shirtless even under the denim jacket he had on. "Put a shirt on dude." You looked away fake gagging." Eddie walked away from the group and nobody really noticed as they were asking the group what they saw.
