Wheel of Fate

70.

The last two days have been a blur for Olivia.

She could still hear the sirens of the ambulance that arrived at the old abandoned Creel house.

Sadly there was nothing they could do for Billy; he died at the scene.

The paramedics were surprised to see the condition of Max's young body.

It was quiet as the paramedics took Lucas and Olivia to the hospital, where many people from the town were arriving as well.

Many were injured, others were looking for their missing family members, while sadly, a few cried with the news that their loved ones were dead.

Lucas and Olivia were told to stay in the waiting area until a doctor saw Max and assigned her a room.

Those couple of hours were torture as she waited for the doctors to tell her how Max was, but once they did, it broke her even more.

Max was in a coma, and the doctors told her that she might not wake up. Her heart had stopped, she should be dead. They said it's a miracle.

Billy was dead, Max was in a coma, but they weren't the only ones affected in their battle against Vecna.

Eddie died that day; he died protecting Dustin from the demobats. He died for a town that didn't like him, that didn't deserve him.

Steve was the one to break the news to her since Dustin was too shaken up.

After pulling Dustin from Eddie's body Steve took him to his house, where his worried mom waited for him.

He needed to find Olivia. By the time he got to the creel house she wasn't there.

It was chaos everywhere he looked.

After driving for a few minutes and asking around, he went to the hospital.

He rushed to ask the receptionist for his Ollie.

He just got her back; he didn't want to lose her again.

"I'm sorry, we are really busy right now," the receptionist said, looking down at her file. She had a long list of patients' names.

"I know, but if you could just look, or maybe you could call someone that has seen her. Her name is Olivia Hargrove. She has pretty long dark brown hair. She's just a few inches shorter than me, actually," he said, holding his hand next to him, showing how tall she is.

"She has hazel eyes you would think are brown, but in reality, they are hazel. You can really tell when she's outside. You know when the sun hits her face," he rambled.

The receptionist wasn't listening to a word; he said she was too occupied looking at the names on the list, figuring out who she was going to see next.

They were overworked after the destruction that the 'earthquake' had caused.

"Are you even listening," he questioned.

She handed him a pencil and a piece of paper that had a lot of names. "Write her name, a phone number we can call and the last time you saw her. I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work. If we find her, we will call or maybe look in the school gymnasium," she said as she started to walk away.

This was not going to work for him; he was growing impatient and scared by the second. He moved his hands over his face in frustration.

He was going to head out when he heard a voice. "Steve," Lucas questioned, his head tilted to the side just a little from down the hall holding two cups, one on each hand.

"Hey Lucas," Steve said with a sigh of relief.

He was happy to see someone he knew that could help him, but by Lucas' face he knew things weren't good.
