Walk Through Hellfire

Chapter 1

****WELCOME BACK LOVELIES! YOU DIDN'T THINK WE'D KEEP YOU WAITING THAT LONG DID YOU? LET'S GET INTO IT!!!****

****Y/N'S POV****
A few days had gone by since Eddie disappeared and he left no trace of where he went. I kept staying at Steve's house because Billy still wasn't gone either. I can't believe he fucking did that. Asshole. I sighed as Steve and I drive around Hawkins looking for EddieC even the van at this point.

"Y/N... I don't think we are gonna find him... We've been at it for a few days now. Nothing has changed. I know you want him back but I think we need to just let him return on his terms... I know that isn't what you wanna hear." Steve sighed.

"Can we go to his trailer? I wanna see if he called his uncle." I asked.

"Sure."

I remained quiet the rest of the drive, leaning my head back on the head rest, my eyes were straining from focusing on anything and everything trying to find him. I was not about to give up.

When we got to the trailer I stood outside and knocked on the door, hoping his uncle was home. I felt a small but of relief as I heard rustling inside, part of me hoped it was Eddie but that was a long shot to be quite honest. I stepped back as the sound of someone approaching got closer. His uncle had opened up.

"Hi... I... I was wondering if you heard from him? Is he okay?"

A solemn look came over his features, "No, Y/N. I still don't know where he is either. He doesn't do this often... But he will be back."

"I'm scared for him..."

"Eddie is tougher than he looks, sweetie. He can hold his own. I know what he did was dumb. But he cares about you and that's why he did it. You have to understand that Eddie hasn't always had his loved ones around so he gets very protective over the ones he does have and you are one of them. Let him cool down. He will be back."

I nodded as I looked down at my feet, "I'm worried about him."

"I am too. But he will be back. His guitar is still here. His friends are here. And you are here." He said, putting more emotion into it when he referred to me.

I nodded, "Thank you. Please let me know if he calls?"

"Of course. Go rest. I know it's hard. Try to enjoy the last few days of your break."

"Will do. Thank you... Wayne."

"You're welcome." He smiled.

I still felt odd calling him Wayne but he corrected me every time I called him Mr. Munson. I walked back to Steve's car, climbing in and buckling up.

"Any news?" Steve asked.

"Same as yesterday, and the day before that." I sighed, "But he said he'd call if anything happened."

"Okay. C'mon. Let's go back home." Steve said softly, "Who knows, maybe he'll call."

"You say that every day and it hasn't changed shit."

"It's not supposed to change anything. It's to help you stay hopeful and try to lighten the mood."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. You're allowed to be upset." He said as we got back onto the road.

I stayed quiet the rest of the way back, my parents didn't really question the fact I was staying at Steve's for so long. I should be thankful for that to be honest.

"Robin is coming over tonight." Steve smiled.

"Movie night?" I asked.

"No. She is gonna take you to the mall. Walk around. Window shop."
