EDDIE'S POV

I was woken up by someone banging aggressively on my door. I groaned and rolled over, burying my face deeper into Y/N's t-shirt I'd found on my floor, letting the smell of her envelop me. "Eddie!"
"Eddie, answer the door."
"We're coming in, man!"

Shit.

I opened my eyes to see Mike, Dustin and Lucas standing in my bedroom doorway, eyeing me with caution. I looked down at myself, tangled in the bedsheets, curled in a ball with my face buried in Y/N's shirt. "Hey guys." I croaked. My throat felt dry and sore. My heart felt worse. I couldn't get the image of Y/N running up to her door after kissing my cheek. I felt torn in half, like I wanted to go find her and just be near her. Just the idea of her was eating me alive. 
"We're here because of Y/N." Dustin said, twirling a piece of paper between his fingers nervously.
"Is she okay?" I asked, panicked. I imagined her Mom beating her up, or locking her in her room.
"Yeah, she's fine. She's kinda grounded though, and her Mom was mad at her. They're fine now though, so don't worry" He said, reading the concern on my face. "She gave me this to give to you." 
"What does it say?" I asked, too afraid to read it myself.
"I haven't opened it, I don't know." Dustin said, flicking it onto my bed. I picked it up like it was an atomic bomb, opening it and reading it.

I'm sorry about last night. I could have left on better terms. I'll see you at school on Monday to return your hellfire shirt :) x

My heart lit up with relief that she was okay, and I could hear her voice in my head as if she was reading the note to me. Dustin, Mike and Lucas eyed the expression on my face like a sign of insanity.
"I think she missed you, we saw her this morning." Mike said, shaking his head in exasperation. "Why are you lying around moping and smelling her clothes?"
"Well she left this here yesterday when she got changed and I found it on my floor and... I don't really know."
"Do you like her?" Dustin asked, earning a punch in the arm from Mike. "What? I'm just asking." 
"It's none of our business, Dustin. It's his business who he dates."
"Are you guys dating?" He asked, surprised.
"Bro, are you blind? Did you see Y/N? And look at Eddie! It's so obvious!" Lucas said, rolling his eyes. "I mean, you are, right?" He asked, looking at me. I shook my head and buried my head back in the pillow.
"You guys can go now." I said, my voice muffled. I heard them shuffling away. 
"She likes you too, Bro." Dustin whispered before closing the door behind him, leaving me alone with my thoughts again. 

I sighed, feeling trapped in the tiny cage of my bedroom. I wanted to see Y/N so bad, even if it was only for a minute. It felt like she was taking over my brain, and it wouldn't stop. I climbed out of bed and pulled on my boots, slicking back my hair with my hands into some sort of organized chaos.
