Eddie's pov
We walk in her room and both of us pick a side and a hand of hers to hold. She's still asleep. Said it could take hours for the drugs to wear off and for her to wake. Everyone's heard of what Emerson niles did to her. He made sure that everyone did. He humiliated her. She didn't show her face at school for over a week after. My heart hurt for her. She told him she loved him and he laughed and tore her down, while cheating. He hurt her. Broke her. How could he do that to her? She's perfect. In every sense of the word.

Sure she's shy...that's what makes her her. It's endearing how she blushes at any compliment you give or how she stutters sometimes. Her shy smile is adorable. The door opens and it's hopper "Steve is here" Billy and I stand and glare at her brother "the hell are you two doing here? Step away from her now" hopper says "Billy and Eddie are who saved her from being assaulted while drugged you should be thanking them" Steve shakes his head "I don't want them with her" "too bad we're not leaving her" Billy says glaring and adds "after all when I told you she was drugged all you cared about is the fact that I told you that Nancy cheated on you" the fuck is wrong with him? Steve I mean.

"I'm here now alright?" Steve snaps. I tell him "she doesn't need you now. She needed you then. You decided sex was more important than making sure your sister wasn't alone at a party while Billy went to take a piss. You constantly leave her to walk anywhere and every where alone for Nancy. People are dying and going missing left and right and you didn't even care to make sure your sister. Your twin was safe"

Steve says "she told me she was okay with it-" Billy scoffs "and you believed that shit? Anyone with eyes can see she was upset. I drove her home earlier after seeing her walking by the woods alone. She had another 15 minute walk ahead of her! She could've been next. It'd have been real easy for someone to take her like they took will Byers. But Nancy wheeler was more important" I add "you even made her walk in the rain and she'd get a cold. Not that you ever even noticed that." Rolling my eyes remembering when she'd come to school with a red stuffy nose and cold from the rain. I'd offer her a extra hellfire shirt I had in my locker so she can be somewhat dry and she'd take it and to change. She still has it. Steve says "move I want to see her" "Billy" her voice says and she adds "Eddie?" I turn and I brush her hair out of her face with a smile "hey sunshine. How do you feel?" She winces "like I got hit by a truck" she's up earlier than expected. Which is good. Billy asks "you need anything?" She shakes her head and she sees Steve "Steve?" She sees hopper and smiles "Jim" he sends her a smile "hey kid" Steve says "I'm here now" she asks him "for how long?" Not meeting his eyes. Steve says "we're gonna find who did this and sue the hell outta them and I'm gonna beat his ass!" Steve says "I'm sorry" "okay" she nods. He asks "so we're good?" "Have we really ever been good steve?" She asks him and he sighs and leaves. Wow. What a dick. I stroke her cheek "thank god you're okay Hales" Billy asks "do you remember anything?"

She furrows her eyebrows "no...it's a blur" shit. He asks "you don't remember us going to a party?" She says "I remember that and maybe a drink or two. But after that...nothing." Shit. Shit shit shit. Not good. Not good at all. She asks "what happened? Did I drink too much? Do I have alcohol poisoning?" Billy shakes his head "something happened Comet" "tell me" she says and he sighs "I left you with Steve to piss and I came back and you and Steve were gone. I bumped back into you and you were out of it...someone drugged you at that party comet." "W-what? Why? I-I don't even know anyone really. Who would do something like that?" She asks tears in her eyes. I kiss her hand "we're going to find out who did this okay? Promise. The best thing you can do is tell us and hopper if and when you remember something about tonight okay?"

Billy says "I'm sorry tonight turned out so bad" she touches his hand "it's not your fault Billy..." hopper says "the doctors are running tests you need to relax and sleep more to recoup. We won't be leaving you any time soon okay? I won't rest until that asshole is found" she nods "thanks Jimmy" he chuckles "any time kid"
