Till Death Do Us Part | 001xreader

015

It had been a whole 4 weeks since we escaped from the lab and only a week since my crazy dream. i was still confused, it felt too real to be a dream. Hopper had been visiting me every day with el and giving me updates on what papa had been doing. Hopper had got one of his close friends to go to the station to tell them he had seen two girls in hospital gowns being taken to Canada in a red truck.

It wasn't a surprise that he was soon taken to the lab and asked a bunch of questions then given $1,000 to keep him quiet. But this was good because papa then left to search for us in Canada for a couple of weeks. I have gotten really close with Dustin which really helped me because it gave me someone to speak to when i needed and if i ever had a bad dream i would go to his room and he would calm me down by explaining the rules of dnd to me and told me about his hellfire club.

"y/n hurry up or we are going to be late" i put the final pin in my hair and grabbed my school bag. "there's some toast on the table over there" mom says as she points to the table. "y/n we don't have time to eat eddie won't wait for us you know" i give him a glare which makes him roll his eyes. ding dong. ding dong. ding dong. "jeeze calm down" i say shoving a piece of toast in my mouth and opening the door. i saw a guy stood at the door with mid length, wavy black hair. the smell of cheap mens cologne overwhelming my senses causing me to scrunch my nose. i expected him to introduce himself like some of moms friends had and some of dustins other friends, but he just barged past me and helped himself to some toast. "rude" i say under my breath.

i go over to dustin who had finished packing his bag. "whats wrong with him?" i ask curiously. a faint smile grows on his face. "hes a metal head if thats wh-". "HE HAS A METAL HEAD?" dustin just places his head in his hands. "im guessing your talking about me?" eddie says raising his eyebrows. "sorry" i say with a smile. "im used to it by now" he then walks out and me and dustin proceed to say bye to mom. "HURRY UP" eddie shouts from his van. my heart was racing on the way to school. i couldnt process that i was finally living my dream. as we pulled up to the school, we received multiple looks some confused, some disgusted and some just weren't bothered. one guy in particular which was wearing a green and white jacket was staring at eddie as if he wanted to kill him. "Right get out then" eddie sighs.

why is dustin friends with this jackass?

i hop out of the van and see max walking with her headphones on. "max?" i call but no response. i run over to her and try to get her atention again but there was still nothing. "max" i take off her headphones which seems to make her snap back into reality. "Everything ok?" i could tell it wasnt. "no not really, when are you getting your timetable?" i look at the note i left on my hand and read it. "me and el are meeting in like 5 minutes to go and get them, why dont you meet me over there at lunch" i point over to the woods. "theres a bench somewhere in there we could go there once we meet up" i nod and walk off.

i head to my first lesson by myself. i opened the door and there was paper aeroplanes being thrown around. there where the nerds at the front who were reading, the popular kids sat in the middle and eddie sat at the back alone. he looks up towards him and i send a smile as i see there is a spare seat next to him, but he just rolls his eyes. during the lesson i had a beaming smile and i was answering most of the question which was bugging the popular girl for some reason. "right students you'll have to excuse me for a second" the teacher said leaving the room to handle something with another student.

The mean girl got up and walked over to me, the whole of the class's eyes on her. "look..." she picks up my book and looks at my name. "y/n henderson. wow that explains it your a shitty Henderson". eddies eyes shoot towards her. "im madison, but anyway i dont know who you think you are but i own this place so dont think you can just come walking in here and answer all MY questions but i advise that you stop" she looks me up and down with disgust. as she walks to her desk she says "no wonder they kept you locked up dustbin must have been embarrassed"

once again i feel my anger take over and use my powers to make her slip. "um y/n?" i look to eddie who was pointing at his nose indicating that mine was bleeding. shit it was bleeding. eddie must have seen me. i grab all my books and rush out of the classroom thankfully no one saw as they were occupied with madison. i rush into the toilets to wipe my nose. this is the thing that i hated about myself the most was i panicked and i was a super bad overthinker. once the bell rang i headed to my second class trying to avoid everyone.

once it was lunch time i headed out to the field. after waiting for max for a couple of minutes she finally arrived. "are you sure going into the woods is a good idea" i said nervously. "yes its fine i used to have to meet bil-" she stopped herself. "look the bench isnt that deep in" she linked her arm with mine and pulled me along. once we were almost at the bench me and max heard two people speaking.

"shh" i directed towards max. "some people must already be there" she shook her head confused.

"Barely anyone knows this bench is here". she bit her lip now looking even more confused.

we decided to carry on going to the bench and if there were people there, we would just head back to the field. when we got to the bench, we were met by eddie which quickly stuffed something into his lunchbox once he noticed us. "who where you talking to?" i was quick to ask.

"no one that you would know" he said, his voice had a slight shake.

"did we scare Eddie Munson, the so-called hero" max said which seemed to cheer her up a bit.

"fuck off" eddie flipped us off, grabbed his lunch box then walked off.

we sat down and i could see the fear wash over her face one again. "y-you said you can see people's memories, didnt you" i nodded to her answer. "i would tell you by speaking bu-"

"you would break down before even starting" i finished her sentence fully understanding what she was saying. "here just think about the memory and hold my hand" she took my hand and i could feel the sweat on her palms where her hands were so tense.

we where in a huge building but before i could fully take in my surroundings i was met with a beast. the look of it sent shivers down my spine. max took my hand and i could hear her unsteady breathing. there was a man stood Infront of the fleshy monster. then i was caught off guard. two long tentacles came from each side of it. the man stopping the tentacles from getting a boy which looked like a young will which was lying on the floor. suddenly a max from the past and mike came around a corner. "BILLY NOOOO" max screamed. i could feel max squeeze my hand tighter. then the man who must be billy was struck in the chest then one on each side of his torso. blood everywhere. the constant screams from max. then it started over again.

i jumped out of the memory so max didnt have to go through watching it again. "im so sorry" was all i could manage to say. and i embraced her into a hug. her sobs were muffled as her head was buried into my shoulder. she pulled away from me. "its not just that ive been experiencing these horrible dreams that are awful. i shoot up with a cold sweat. and i think the stress from them are causing me to have nosebleeds. they arent as fun without the powers" she said with a slight laugh.

"i can understand what you mean about the nightmares with the cold sweats" i say remembering the awful dreams i had been having for the past 4 weeks that had been ridding me of sleep.

"About that boy?" i just nodded.
