Be Still - The Fray 

Be still and know I'm with you

...


He layed there in the boat beside the girl. She was still in the pink dress she looked beautiful in. She was fast asleep. And he smiled as he found it cute that she was using the tarp they were meant to be hiding underneath as a blanket. And below her head was his vest he let her use. She fell fast asleep last night but he couldn't sleep much. And so when he saw her head just laying against the rough boat, he gently placed the vent as a pillow under her head.

Eddie heard a car pulling up and quickly grabbed the bottle and jumped out of the boat abruptly. He didn't mean to wake her just yet but she slowly fluttered her eyes open and shifted up with a yawn.

" Lis lay back down cover up" He whisper shouted to her. She felt worry fill her and did as she was told. The door busted open and Eddie jumped back.

" Delivery service," Dustin said and Felicity quickly jumped up from under the tarp. " Dustyyyy" She cheered out and he waved to her. " Can someone hand me my converse?" Eddie went to grab them but Steve picked them up and gave them to the girl. And Eddie slightly glared at Steve.

" Are you wearing your dress?" Robin asked and Felicity nodded. " Couldn't let it go to waste now could I." Felicity held her hand out waiting for someone to take it, to help her out of the boat. Steve went to grab it but Eddie swiftly stepped in front and bowed his head to her again, causing her to shake her head and laugh. "M'Lady"

" Why thank you" The girl jumped down in the slightly dirty white converse and a now ruffled pink dress. Hair was slightly messy and day old makeup, yet she looked just as perfect as before.

Steve frowned watching the pair interact with each other. Eddie reached over grabbing the vest and slipping it back on. Dustin handed Felicity a small bag of cookies he knew she loved. And then gives a box of cereal to Eddie.

" So we got some good news and some bad news," Dustin said lightly. " How do you prefer?"

" Bad news first, always," Eddie said with a mouth full of honeycombs. Felicity took a seat in front of him, between his legs, Eddie moved the box of cereal so it wasn't blocking her from sitting back. She sat back and started taking bits of her cookies.

" We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro. And they are definitely looking for you." Steve glanced down at Felicity's neck and blinked a few times and then looked away. " Also they're uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy."

" Like a 100% convinced" Max added.

" And the good news?" Eddie asked to hope for something actually good. " Your name hasn't gone public yet" Robin smiled as if that was amazing news. " But if we find out about you, it's only a matter of time until others do too. And then everyone and their shallow-minded mothers are gonna be gunning for you."

" Hunt the freak right?" Eddie said with disgust.

" Exactly" Robin confirmed.

"That's awful," Felicity said with a sigh. " So before that happens we need to find Vecna kill him and prove your innocents," Dustin said hopefully. " That all Dustin? That's all?" Eddie clearly annoyed at this point.

" Yeah, that's pretty much it." Dustin's voice raised a bit knowing it was a lot to actually figure out.

" Eddie, listen, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kinda thing before. I mean they have a few times, and I have once. Mine was more human flesh-based and there was more smoke-related. But bottom line is, collectively I really think we got this." Robin smiled with courage.
