Eddie My Love

🖤Bad Dreams🖤

~You can feel yourself falling into the darkness landing in a place that your all too familiar with, you're in the middle of the woods and it's cold and silent with what seems like endless emptiness all around you, you can hear something approaching you in the distance and it was getting closer and closer so you closed your eyes only to be met with hands around your neck squeezing the life from you, the feeling of suffocating was overpowering you and the darkness was consuming you.... Everything faded to black~

You sprung up in bed covered in sweat and your breathing was fast and panicked which woke up Eddie, as soon as he saw you he sat up quickly to comfort you "are you alright y/n" he rubbed your back and brushed the hair from your face "yeah it's just a nightmare, I'll be okay, I'm just gonna go have a shower" you didn't make eye contact with Eddie the whole time because you knew he could read you too well and would know something was bothering you, the shower was refreshing but you kept having flash backs from your nightmare and it made you ball up your fists in your hair trying to push the thoughts away and after 10 minutes it subsided so you got out of the shower and wrapped yourself up in a towel and went back to your room smiling at Eddie trying to pretend like your nightmare never happened you grabbed a T-shirt and a pair of ripped black jeans and threw them on and proceeded to dry your hair.
Eddie had been looking at you for awhile now with nothing but silence but then he broke it "Hey you, did you want to go to the roller rink tomorrow, maybe we can drive around for a bit?" You looked at him realizing the sound of his voice just made you feel better, he lit up your world more than anyone ever had "you know it handsome" you pecked him on the cheek and you two proceeded downstairs and sat on the couch, Dustin was in the kitchen making himself some toast and reading a book when he noticed you two were together he went into what I like to call his processing state "ummm hey Eddie.... I didn't know you spent the night.." Dustin was kinda nervous and also weirded out seeing Eddie "I figured you probably missed me man so I thought why not" this made all of us giggle and things felt more normal and natural afterwards.
*RING RING RING* the phone went off a few times until Dustin picked it up "Henderson residence" I always thought he sounded like such a dork whenever he picked up the phone like that "Hey Mike!" He always sounded so happy when his friends called him or whenever they hung out "Did you and the guys still wanna go hangout tomorrow morning at the arcade?" You we're kinda confused at this statement but let him finish his conversation "sweet well I'll meet you guys there at the usual time, bye Mike"
*click*
"Um excuse me, how're you guys hanging out tomorrow morning? Are you not going to school?" Eddie and Dustin looked at eachother and turned their heads to the side looking very lost from what you said, Eddie grabbed your hand "y/n it's summer break" you were so caught up with everything in your head you completely forgot about summer break... you felt so stupid but laughed it off "oh shit my bad" Dustin giggled at you and head up to his room still shaking his head in a joking way at the fact you forgot.
"I should probably go home and check on my uncle to make sure everything is okay but I can come over tomorrow if that's okay with you?" Eddie said in a sad tone not wanting to leave you and you stared back with a pouty face "I guess that'll be okay, I'm gonna call Robin and the gang and see if they wanna hang out today but maybe if you get some time we can meet up" you kissed Eddie softly but he put his hand on the back of your head deepening the kiss before pulling away "I might be able to come see you tonight you never know, maybe I'll surprise you" he stood up and gave you one last kiss on the forehead before heading out and you watched his every move, you felt completely starstruck by everything he did and said.

You picked up the phone dialling Robin but unfortunately there was no answer so you decided to drive down to the video store to see if she was working.
~Time Skip~
You walked into the video store to be greeted by a very excited Steve "Y/n!!! There's my favourite person in the whole damn world, I was beginning to feel like you were never gonna come see me" you laughed and gave Steve a little playful nudge "Steve how could I ever go on with living without seeing you, I think I'd die" you replied back in a dramatic and silly tone while joking your heart which made his smile get even bigger "hey is Robin here by the way?" He nodded pointing to the curtain that led out back and proceeded to yell for her at least three times before she replied "Steve I swear I'll fight you one of these days if you..." Robin stopped mid sentence when she saw you "Y/n! Oh my goodness! I've missed you, I know I seen you yesterday but it feels like it's been an eternity" she was just as playfully sarcastic as you and Steve and that's what made you all such great friends "I was wondering if you wanted to go do something today? I'm all by my lonesome and in desperate need of some fun"
Steve and Robin looked at eachother both dying internally from happiness when they both replied at the same exact time "hell yeah!" What a bunch of goofballs but they were the best goofballs "great so how about we all go to the roller rink and maybe we can have a few drinks tonight?" You asked them unsure if they'd be down to drink again but before Robin could reply Steve cut her off "hey actually one of my buddies is throwing a little party tonight that we could go to, it'll be a lot more fun than yesterday I promise" you were a little hesitant because of the whole Billy situation from the night before but then said screw it "yeah let's do it, as long as I'm with you guys it's gonna be a great time".

*4:30*
You only had to kill about 45 minutes until they were finished work so you walked next door to the arcade and wandered around for a bit looking at all the games and seeing all the people having so much fun even if they were doing absolutely terrible and that made you want to try a game so you looked around at one that you thought you'd like and saw a game called Dragon Slayer which definitely sounded like your cup of tea and plus it was the emptiest spot in the whole place so even better, you were getting very into the game spacing out and not being aware of your surroundings when you saw Max in the corner of your eye "y/n!" She waved frantically while shooting you a very welcoming smile and then proceeded to approach you
"fancy seeing you here y/n, I was just heading out but we should hang out sometime" you smiled back at her "absolutely! Did you need a ride? It's quite a ways away for you to skateboard"
You looked at her with a slight parental concern before she spoke up "oh thanks but Billy is actually here to pick me up, he's super impatient so I should probably just go with him so he doesn't get upset" you watched her walk towards the exit and saw Billy leaning against one of the many machines making intense eye contact with you and giving you a sinister grin before Max started yelling for him to leave causing him to roll his eyes and follow behind her.
You felt like enough time had passed so you head back to the video store sing yelling for Robin and Steve "guyssss!!! It'ssssss party timeeee!"
Following your words both of them came out from the back room excited to see you again they started waving their hands in the air like crazy people and dancing their way over to you
"let's go get readyyyy" Robin linked arms with you and Steve's with hers on the opposite side and you guys left.

~Time Skip~
*6:00*
You made some spaghetti for Dustin before heading upstairs to get changed, wouldn't want him going hungry because he has no idea how to make himself food.
You get on one of your nicer dresses all black with long lace sleeves and soft black makeup and your hair half tied up, you walked downstairs giving Robin and Steve a little twirl
"What do you think guys"
The room fell silent but not because they didn't like it but because you looked so phenomenal
"Holy shit" they both mumbled under their breath at the same time not letting their eyes off of you "thanks guys! I take that as approval, are you both ready to leave?" they both nodded yes and you all proceeded into Steve's car making your way to the party.
Steve looked back at you and then to Robin in the passenger seat "I'm gonna stop and grab some beer in case the party sucks and you guys wanna go back to y/n's house and have our own little party"
"Sounds good to me" you shot up excited either way you knew you'd have fun
Pulling up to the liquor store Steve jumps out asking if either of you would like anything and instead of answering him you both hopped out of the car
"we'll just come in with you" Robin replied before taking your hand and helping you out of the car giving you a little twirl and heading inside.

~Eddie's POV~

I was feeling so bored just sitting at home, my uncle was passed out and about to leave within the next hour or so, you decided to go for a drive.
I passed by the video store then the arcade and then the grocery store until I made my way by the liquor store and saw that's where I saw her... y/n... she looked like an angel with this black dress on and a smile of pure happiness on her face, Robin twirled her in a circle and I swear the world slowed down in that moment and my heart felt like a zoo.
They were obviously going to another party and that made me feel slightly worried because of the last time also because of how off she seemed this morning so I decided to follow them there.... Just to keep my eyes on her and make sure she was safe.
~~~~~~
*Arriving at the party*

The music was loud and very inviting but you still felt slightly anxious, you looked at Steve and he already knew what you were thinking "let's have a drink before we head inside yeah?"
"He'll yeah Steve! You know me too well" you jumped out of the car and opened the trunk and grabbed a beer for Robin and one for Steve before getting your own
"Let's shotgun it!" Robin yelled in excitement and we did, Steve got quite a bit on the ground but other than that it was a fairly successful attempt and Robin soon let out the burp of all burps gaining to thumbs up from you before you all headed inside.
You got to the door but then felt something... a strange feeling like you were being watched but before you could even think about it any longer Steve and Robin pulled you inside through a crowd of people, you knew tonight was gonna be crazy.
