I made my way out of the hospital wearing only the flimsy gown, and those weird grippy socks they always seem to stick on your feet when you're admitted. At least my feet are somewhat protected as I ran through the parking lot and into the woods near by. I really shouldn't be running, my wounds and stitches are hurting with every move I make. My head is killing me, but I need to leave, I can't stay here and continue to hurt the ones I love.

I found my way to Skull Rock, deciding to stay here for the night, too weak and tired to keep going right now. I curled up in the dirt and leaves under the protection of the large boulder and fell asleep.

**At the Trailer**

Steve, Robin, Max and Eleven all joined me in my room as I decided to smoke away the depression. They didn't join me in the high, but felt like they needed to keep an eye on me to make sure I don't do something stupid.

The phone rang again. I looked at my clock to see it's almost 1:00am. Wayne was still in the living room, just incase the hospital called again, and they did. This was the call he was waiting for.

"Hello?"

"This is Hawkins Hospital. We're calling to inform you that Angel Munson left."

"What do you mean she left?"

"She snuck out sir. Do you want us to notify the police to search for her?"

"No, no. I'll find her myself." Wayne said before hanging up the phone. "Eddie!"

"What?" I called out of my room.

"Get your shit boy, We need to go find her."

"She doesn't want to be found Wayne!" I yelled as I took another hit.

"Well I'm going to go look for her. " He said as he left the trailer, speeding off in his truck, thinking he will be able to find her.

"El, do you think we can use you one more time?" Steve asked the girl who managed to locate Angel earlier.

"Oh course." she said as she went out into the living room to be alone for her mental search.

I leaned back on my bed, smoking my joint as I still played with her ring in my hand.

"Even if she does locate her, how are we supposed to get her to come back home? " I asked whoever wanted to answer.

"She's hurt, and scared Eddie. I know she wants to come back home. She just thinks she can't because she loves you and she thinks she's protecting you this way." Robin was the one to speak up.

"She doesn't love me." I said as I finally let go of her ring, setting it on the table next to my bed.

"Yes she does, Eddie. I know she does." Max said this time. I don't even know this girl how did she think she knows Angels feelings toward me?

I thought back to the note she left me, saying how sorry she was, telling me she will always love me. I know she does still love me, but my heart is shattered at the loss of her being here with me now.

"I know where she is!" Eleven shouted as she came back into the room, wiping the blood from her nose. I snapped back to reality as I watched her, remembering Angel doing that same thing when she would use her own abilities.
