The freaks- Eddie Munson

Chapter 30

"You BROKE MY WHAT NOW?!" Mira yelled at Steve, As everyone else watched in amusement, especially Eddie.

"I'm sorry, okay? It was life or death situation-"

"You could've just put them aside like a normal person, not throw them!"

"I'll buy you new ones!"

She groaned.

"That was my hard earned money." She complained.

"I'm sorry, okay?! God."

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Please don't tell me you threw my Eddie Van Halen ones too?"

He sighed.

"Oh my god. Come here you little-" she said, running over to him like a little gremlin before Eddie stepped in and sighed, throwing her over his shoulder like she weighed nothing.

"Calm down. Although breaking  Van Halen cassettes Is definitely not cool." He sighed and put her down on a rock, she pouted and looked the other way.

"While I would love to see more of Mira and Steve fighting, we have more... pressing matters." Dustin said.

"How long have you known Eddie was killing these kids? It was his trailer where Chrissy was killed and you expect us to believe he was made a suspect just this morning?"

"The truth is we've been following several leads, and yes, Eddie Munson was one of them. And we are now doing everything in our power to find him and Mira. In the meantime, for your safety, we will be enforcing a strict curfew."

Several people in the seats complained.

"It's been days. Days. So you tell me why the both of them aren't behind bars right now."

"Mira wasn't a suspect until today. I understand you all are upset, but I promise you, we will find them."

Powell was shocked at the girl to say the least, pretty much everyone in town knew Mira. She went around jobs a lot, volunteered a lot as well, donated, and was really close with Hopper.

Yet somehow she was  still a "freak" to most, always had been, and always will be.

Maybe it's her inability to be quiet, maybe because  she's too curious, maybe because she dresses weirder than everyone else, maybe it's because she just wasn't as good as her brother, maybe she just wasn't perfect enough for everyone, or maybe she just didn't wanna fit the standards.

Maybe she wanted to be a freak. She would have it no other way.

Erica, was thinking. No way either of them would do this, especially not Mira who stayed up all night painting D&D figures with her, the one who talked about My little pony with her, even if Erica found it embarrassing, taught her how to stand up for herself. There was just no way.

"No." Jason said, coming into town hall and everyone turned their heads to him, the whole crowd was silent now.

"You won't."

"Jason? Son, how about we talk about this in private?"

"Why? So you can keep me quiet? So you can keep the truth from coming out? Look, I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't bear to listen to any more excuses and lies."

It was funny how he knew Mira, and she was kind  to him, helping him, even if it was just a small run in on his freshman year. All that happened was he got lost, Mira showed him the way.

"That's enough."

"I agree. I've had enough! In fact I think we've all had enough!"

Everyone clapped, except for the Sinclairs and Wheelers.
