Hawkins high "freak"hearts

part 30: rotten hawkins

You took a leap and jumped of the garage roof. Making a perfect landing, luckily not hurting yourself at all. You looked at your car but there was no way that driving there was going to work. She would notice the car being gone immediately. So you took your old bicycle that you hadn't used for a while now. Dusted the spider webs off, maybe. accidently throwing the spider away with it and checked if your tires were still okay.

You started cycling, first off feeling kind of wobbly and insecure, but you never really forget how to cycle so after 5 minutes after felt the same again. It was 15 minutes of cycling but because you had to stay off roads so nobody would see you it took you a good 10 minutes longer. When you guys arrived at Mike's you hid you bike next to a bush so it wasn't visible for people that were just driving by.

You had to sneak in again so Mike's mom wouldn't go and call your mom. It would be something that she would do. Dustin just ran the door bell and miss Wheeler opened the door, fase 1 done. You walked to the back door, his dad was in the kitchen so you could walk around the living room to get to the basement. By the time Dustin was done talking you were already in the basement greeting everyone. Also somebody you didn't expect there, Eddie.

''I decided to come too, I'm not going to hide while you guys are battling some real life DnD stuff.'' His dorky comment made you chuckle. You knew he was trying to brighten the mood. Last time they had to battle a thing like this they lost Billy, and El was still there to help us. And believe me you really believed that you guys needed her.

''okay so? You have a plan?'' they nodded. That's when you noticed the mess they had made on the ground. ''what happened?'' You asked. You saw Nancy looking down with Jonathan's arm wrapped around her. You gave everyone a questioning look.

''It showed Nancy too, he told her exactly what his plan was.'' Robin said. ''He needs one more kill to complete some sort of circle, after that he can destroy Hawkins. And Hawkins just being the start.'' She added.

''Well that sounds like the most I'll ever have.'' You said with a sarcastic undertone. ''so?'' you asked. Mainly looking at Max because last time she told you she was going to use herself as bait.

''The plan is, we're going to use Max as bait. We found out that he is the creel house. It's just like El. He is playing mind games. So his body is in the creel house, in the upside down. We'll go there. And well we'll kill him.'' Nancy said like it was easy. But this wasn't going to be easy at all.

''Y/N, Eddie you guys have to stay here but were going to get some weapons, I need a new shotgun.'' Nancy said.

''So were going to take kids to a weapon store?'' you asked, Nancy rolled her eyes. ''As if they haven't seen worse yet.'' You were not going to lie but that comment felt a little like a stab underwater. The fact the have seen worse doesn't mean we should act like it's something normal.

"So you'll stay here. And we'll be back before the evening." Nancy said. You nodded and just rolled with it. You were going to stay downstairs, just wait until they comeback. Dustin and Mike showed there secret snack drawer. The snack drawer they collect candy and snacks for when they play DnD.

They all left, most of them secretly so that his parents wouldn't notice. But some of them just leaving right through the front door.
Once everybody left Eddie came closer to you. Pulling you in a hug.

It felt weird for a second, weird because all of this drama, all of this drama that is based him. You were being investigated for murder because you hang around him. Was dating like him always going to be like this. Everything he does is going to be watched. Every step you take, everything you two do is going to be under a loop. Did you want that?

You shook the thought away and just relaxed into the cuddle. The cuddle that you needed. "Hey" he just said, he lifted your chin looking into your eyes.

"Is loving you ever going to be easy?" You blunting asked. Just flopped it out. "Loving?" He asked. He let go and took a step back. "Love? You love me?" You had just realized what you had said.
"That's not what I meant Eds, I mean." He stopped you.

"I hope you do, because." He took your hands and looked at you. You knew what he was going to do but it scared you. You didn't want to hear it. You didn't want to hear it yet.
"Stop don't say it." You said.  "Save it for later. Until this is done." You shook your head no. You shook his hands off and walked to the couch to sit down.

"But is it, is it ever going to be easy?" You asked. He sat down next to you. "I don't know. Probably easier than this, but I'll forever be me." He said. You exactly knew what he meant. He just confirmed what you already thought.
"But I know it's worth loving me." He said once again grabbing your chin. He carresed your check. "I sure as hell know it's worth loving you, my freak populair cheerleader girl. My girl." He kissed you before you could do anything. And you just gave in. You let yourself fall into his arms.

"I want this to be over, I want this to be over and done with." He started playing with your hair. "I want everybody to be safe. I want everybody to have a normal childhood. I don't want people to die anymore." He started to tear up.

"I want, I want, I-" a tear fell. "What if it takes me this time." You looked at him. "Or worse, it's Dusty or you know, you." More tears fell.

"What if he takes what is going to hurt most." You asked. "I don't know what I'd do." You said. "I'm out of emotions and overthinking."

"Y/N we're going to make it, were going to kill that bastard. And were going to go back to oh so happy Hawkins." You heard his sarcasm. "Hawkins has you. Hawkins has the most beautiful girl. The most amazing girl that even makes a rotten town smell like flowers and ugh why do you make me feel like this." He said with a massive grin on his face.

"I made the punk of Hawkins." You took a dramatic break. "Soft.." you could finally laugh. He was good in distracting you. And he did it again.

You just cuddled and waited for the rest to get back. But it didn't feel like forever as you drifted off. Cuddling into his chest. A last nap before everything was going down.
