"You don't think the killer the police are trying to find is Eddie Munson? Do you?" Max asks and Dustin gasps in offence at the accusation while (y/n) was just trying to understand how this all fits together. He had explained to the girls of the weird things he saw yesterday night when he went to the trailer park to return Eddie some D&D equipment. The rabid dogs barking, the flickering lights and then the screaming before Eddie ran out of his trailer and drove off in his van.

"Eddie is not a killer! He's nothing like that!"

"He is a freak-"

"-he doesn't kill Max! You don't know him like I do!" (y/n) sighs in annoyance, getting up to get a drink from the fridge and letting the kids duke it out themselves over whether or not Eddie Munson had the balls to kill someone in cold blood. She hears the front door open and looks over to see Billy walk in, confusion on his face seeing Dustin arguing with his sister.

"What's shitheels freak friend doing here?" he raises a brow, noticing how annoyed his love looks as she pinches the bridge of her nose. Dustin and Max were yelling at each other and (y/n) slams her hands on the counter.

"Sit down!" they both shut up quickly, even Billy flinching. The kids keep their mouths shut and blink at each other. "Look, I don't think Eddie would've "killed" this student ok." (y/n) air quotes and Billy crosses his arms in confusion.

"Ok, someone explain who killed who cause I fucking don't like where this is going." Dustin warily explains everything to Max's brother, showing him the news on the TV.

"And how would you know that Eddie isn't capable of murdering someone?" Max huffs.

"Look, I get it the mans a metalhead. Doesn't mean he is capable or even close to being capable. I highly doubt he would be able to go head to head with blood and gore in real life ok." (y/n) sits down on the couch next to Max.

"And you managed to get all that when he was with you and Billy two nights ago-" the older girl slaps a hand to the younger one's mouth.

"Don't you even think about it!"

"What!? Why was Eddie here two nights ago!?" Dustin gasps and everyone looks at him.

"Don't you even dare tell him or I'll skin you both alive." (y/n) warns Max and Dustin, glaring at Billy as well since he was smirking at her. "That includes you too Hargrove." the older girl hisses and he immediately raises his hands in defeat.

"So it wasn't Eddie, I know it wasn't him and even (y/n) agrees, for some reason..." Dustin says.

"So this murder thing happened exactly last night. Did anyone experience anything weird?" (y/n) asks and everyone shakes their head. "Either way, I think we should try and find him, ask him what happened cause fuck if we try to get a year free from Upside Down monsters..." the older girl mumbles out and everyone goes rigid.

"You think this might be an Upside Down issue?" the kids ask (y/n) who gawks at their idiocy.

"Are you fucking kidding me!? Duh! Hawkins is not Hawkins without its creatures! There's no way this town is going to even try being normal anymore!"

"But we closed the gate. We killed the Mindflayer and-" the kids wince, looking at (y/n).

"I know I know. Look whatever this is, we need to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone anymore-"

"-no, absolutely fucking not! We're leaving!" Billy exclaims, not taking the chance to lose any more of his family to the demons he witnessed and will never forget months ago. "We are not throwing ourselves into life or death situations again!" he grabs (y/n)'s hand, intending to start packing to leave but she pulls back. "(y/n)-"
