Y/n POV
We're on our way to Eddie's house with a bunch of groceries. We open the door and I hear "Jesus Christ!" As me, max, and Steve peek our heads through "delivery service" Dustin says as Steve wiggles his finger saying hi.

Eddie is now stuffing his face with cereal. "So we got, uh, some good news and some bad news. How do you prefer it?" Dustin asks "bad news first, always" Eddie replies "alright. Bad. News. We tapped into the Hawkins PD dispatch with our Cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you" Dustin says "also, they're, uh, pretty convinced you killed Chrissy" I say "like 100% kind of convinced" max adds "and the good news?" Eddie asks "your name hasn't gone public yet" Robin says "but if we found out about you, it's a matter of time before others do" I say as max puts her head on my shoulder "and once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonna be gunning for you" Robin says "hunt the freak, right?" Eddie asks "exactly" Robin says "shit" Eddie curses to himself "so before that happens, we need to find vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence" Dustin says "that's all, Dustin? That's all?" Eddie asks "yeah, no, that's pretty much it" Dustin says "listen, Eddie, I know everything Dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kind of before. I mean, they have a... A few times, and... And I have once. Mine was more of human-flesh-based theirs was more smoke-related, but bottom line is, collectively, I really feel like we got this" Robin explains "see, we usually rely on this girl who has superpowers. But, uh, those went bye-bye, so... Uh..." Steve says So we're technically in more of the--" Robin gets cut off "kinda..." Steve thinks "brainstorming phase" max says "brainstorming" Steve says "ugh, what about me?" I asks "oh! Yea she's the girls sister she has superpowers also. But you'll probably see those later" Steve says "there... There's nothing to worry about" Dustin says. We then hear sirens and we all look at the windows and panic "tarp! Tarp!" Robin says as we put the tarp over Eddie. We all run to the windows and see it passing by ricks house. There is even an ambulance. We all drive inside Steve's car and see Nancy talking to a police officer. We all get out of the car and see Nancy looking at Steve and give a slight wave
Eleven POV
I'm now in my room fixing my project that Angela broke until I hear Mike knock on my door and say "hey, El. I, uh, made you some eggos, but they're getting kinda cold" I didn't answer so he opens the door "hey, that's cool. Hops cabin, right?" Mike says which makes me nod. Mike then sits on my bed and sighs "so, um, are we just not gonna talk about it?" Mike asks "about what?" I finally reply flatly "I don't know, just maybe, like, about yesterday or... Everything" Mike says "there's nothing to say" I say "yeah, I guess, um... I guess I'm a little, uh... Guess I don't really understand. Why didn't you tell me what's going on here? I mean, you know I'm not exactly Mr. Popularity back at home. I mean, you've seen it. I've been bullied my entire life. I mean, I... I know what it's like" Mike explains "no. You don't" I say "okay. What don't I understand?" Mike says "I am different. I do not belong" I say "you mean in Lenora?" Mike says which makes me turn around to face him "anywhere" I say "come on, you... You can't actually believe that" Mike says "everyone looks at me like... Like I'm a monster" I say nodding with tears in my eyes "well they just don't know you" Mike says "you think I'm a monster too" I say "what?" Mike asks "yesterday. The way you looked at me. You... You were scared of me" I say with tears coming out of my eyes "no. No. No, that's not... That's... That's not true" Mike scoffs "I was surprised. Maybe I was a little upset in the moment, but, I mean... I'm sorry. I just... I didn't know what to do. I mean, it just was so crazy. It happiso fast. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter. I... I care for you... So much" Mike says ""care." But yuh don't... You don't love me anymore?" I say "what... who... who said that I didn't?" Mike asks "you never say it" I say "I say it" Mike says which makes me stand up "you can't even write it, Mike" I say going to my drawer of notes ""from Mike." "From Mike." "From Mike." "From Mike". "From." "From."" I say reading the notes "okay, okay, eleven, you're being ridiculous. What, like... What is this? You know what I think of you. You're the most incredible person in the world. And you can't let these mouth breathers ruin you. Ruin us. I mean, they're nobodies. They're nobodies. And you're a superhero" Mike says tapping my stomach "not anymore" I say
Y/n POV
"So you're saying that this thing that killed Fred and Chrissy, it's from the upsidedown?" Nancy asks "if the shoe fits" Steve says "our working theory is that he attacks with a spell or curse. Now, whether or not he's doing the bidding of the mind flayer or just loves killing teens, we don't know" Dustin says "all we know is this is something different. Something new" max says playing with my hand "doesn't make sense" I say "it's only a theory" Dustin says "no, Fred and Chrissy don't make sense. I mean why them?" I ask "maybe they were just in the wrong place. They were both at the game" Dustin says "and near the trailer park" max says kissing my hand "we're at the trailer park. Uh, should we maybe not be here?" Steve asks as we all look around "there is something about this place. Fred started acting weird the second we got here" Nancy says "acting weird as in...?" Robin asks "scared, on edge, upset" Nancy replies "max and Chrissy was upset too" Dustin says which makes me look at max "yeah, but not here. She was crying in the bathroom at school" max explains "serial killers stalk their prey before they strike, right? So maybe Fred and Chrissy saw this vecman--" Robin gets cut off by Dustin "vecna" Dustin corrects "dont know about you guys but if I saw some freaky wizard monster, I would mention it to someone" Steve says "maybe they did. I saw Chrissy leaving Ms. Kelley's office. If you saw a monster, you.. you wouldn't go to the police. They'd never believe you. But you might go to your--" max gets cut off by me "your shrink" I say making max look at me and she nods. We're now leaving the trailer park "whoa, whoa, Nance. Nance! Nance where you going?" Steve asks "oh, there's just something I wanna check on first" Nancy says "something you maybe wanna share with the rest of us?" I ask "I don't wanna waste your time. It's a real shot in the dark" Nancy says as I get in the car "they're taking forever" I hear max sigh "I know" I say dragging the 'w' as max looks into my eyes "I missed us" max says "same" as we slowly lean in for a kiss. It only lasted for a few seconds before we pull away because Steve "wipe your feet" Steve says while dustin wipes his feet on the inside "on the outside! Not the inside" Steve shouts "always the babysitter. Always the goddamn babysitter!" Steve shouts again before he drives off
Max POV
We're now at Ms. Kelley's house. I'm now ringing her doorbell "max. Hi" Ms Kelley says "hi. I'm so sorry to bother you over break, but... Do you have a minute to talk?" I ask "um, yeah, of course. Of course" Ms. Kelley says as I look back at the car before walking in
____________
"It's just, with everything that's happening, with all the murders, it's... It's making everything worse again" I say "you've experienced trauma, max, and when you keep your feelings, your pain, bottled up the way you do, it doesn't take much to trigger them again. So now, when it rains, it storms" Ms Kelley says "yeah, I know" I say "do you think you're ready to talk more about that night?" Ms Kelley asks. I start to feel confident so I say "I live next door to where it happened" I say "I'm sorry?" Ms Kelley says "to where Chrissy was murdered. The cops asked me a bunch of questions. Did they talk to you?" I ask "I mean, I know you were seeing Chrissy" I say "max you know I can't talk about Chrissy or any other student" she says "yeah but, I mean, what if there was a serial killer on the loose in my neighborhood? Did Chrissy mention anything? Anything about who might have done this?" I ask "max, I'm... I'm sorry, I... I really can't discuss this. You wouldn't want me talking to any other students about you, right?" Ms Kelley asks "if I were dead and it would help catch the killer, then yeah, most definitely would" I say "well, let's leave that up to the police, shall we?" She asks "yeah, you're right. The police totally have this under control" I say sarcastically but not enough to make her believe "can I use the bathroom?" I ask tilting my head "sure. Up the stairs, to the left" she says "thanks" I say getting up. I then see her office keys and see if shes looking and take them
