"Well and truly screwed!!" Eddie screamed throwing the bag onto the ground "I mean really Phoebe skull rock? Out of all the freaking hiding spots you chose this place!"
She huffed rolling her eyes and slid down the back of a rock grabbing the walkie talkie Eddie had successfully managed to grab from a nearby construction site, she tuned into the number Dustin told her too if they needed him and pressed down the button.
"Dustin do you copy?"
"Give me" Eddie demanded reaching out his hand, she rolled her eyes in response growing tired of his frustration now.
"Holy shit!" The sweet voice of Dustin sounded through the small makeshift phone "Are you guys okay?"
"Pretty godamn far from okay" Eddie muttered glancing down at his clearly distraught girlfriend.
She had just witnessed her first death since Sydney, she hadn't seen anyone die since that day and here she was moping over the death of a boy who threatened her only moments before his death.
Eddie chewed down onto his lip, this was the first time the group were talking since the death of they're friend.
Nancy was riddled with fear when they drove to the home that her sister was meant to be safely secured in, she was terrified and hearing her voice through the end soothed her slightly, but not enough.
"Where are you guys."
"Uh near skull rock do you know it?"
"That's near Cornwallis and-"
"Garret, yeah. I know where that is." The voice of Steve was muffled through the other end but the pair could make out what he had said.
"Hold tight. We're coming. We're coming."
Eddie nodded placing the walkie talkie back to the ground, he was still furious with Phoebe, she had left the only thing that could save her, the only goddamn thing.
"I'm sorry" She whispered glancing up at him, giving in to defeat and knowing the only reason he would ever be so angry is because he was worried, petrified even of losing her.
"Don't be" He whispered crawling over and pulling her into his lap "I just really don't want that to happen to you Pheebs."
"I know i just.. In the moment you know.. He was pounding on the door and i just ran.. I ran."
"Guess we were made for each other huh? Always running." He whispered, she let out a small giggle shaking her head.
"At least we've got each other right now."
She warmed against his touch sinking further into his arms, the sight was unholy, the way his body was raised and snapped around. She couldn't imagine what it must have been like for Eddie witnessing that alone, or the kids with Lucille.
