Eddie's pov
It's been hours and we've got no word on her. Not one. Billys a wreck. And so am I. Hopper took his statement. That asshole was choking her. Threatening her. Because of that other asshole emerson. God I can't wait until he goes to jail so she's just left alone and she can be happy and content. Our head perks up hearing Steve "what happened? Where is she?" He asks.

I explain it to him and say "they're not letting anyone see her yet. When Billy got to her she fell and hit her head on the floor hard. It was bleeding a bit and she wouldn't wake up" billy hasn't said a word since he answered hoppers questions. I don't blame him. If I were the one to find her like that and have to give her air because she wasn't getting it i wouldn't exactly want to speak either. Steve joins us for the wait the air more awkward around us more than it was before.

I touch billys shoulder "you know it's not your fault he did this right?" "Then why does it feel like I keep failing her at every turn. I was supposed to be with her at the party. I went to take a piss and emerson drugged and planned to rape her. I was supposed to be there and I wasn't. I was supposed to be there with her today but I let her tell me that she'll be okay and meet me at the library. I should've stayed. I fucking knew Emerson's friends were pissed. And I went anyway! And now look where she is!" He lets it out finally.

I say "I should've been there too billy and I wasn't. It sucks and it hurts knowing we could've possibly downs something but we can't live with what ifs" a doctor comes and says "Halley harrington?" We stand and go over "she's going to be okay. She does have a concussion and will have pain in her throat. Due to bruising. She'll need to take these for pain and be monitored. She's asleep but you can go see her"

We take off to her room without question.
