20 minutes before we have to leave, I touched up my makeup and put on black low-rise jeans with a black tank top. "Olivia hurry up!" I heard Dustin shout from the front door. I slid on my shoes and grabbed my keys walking outside. Dustin has spent the last 2 hours trying to teach me how to play but i still didn't really get it. "Look i still don't really get your nerdy - satanic game" I said keeping my eyes on the road. "It's not satanic" Dustin rolls his eyes.

I enter the school parking lot pulling up next to a van. "Careful when you open the door" I say to Dustin not wanting him to scratch my door. We walked towards the school, seeing mike at the front doors those 2 walked into the school together as i trailed behind. The basketball game started about an hour ago, I peeked my head through the doors my eyes immediately landing on Lucas sitting on the bench. I felt bad that i couldn't be there even though he might not even get off the bench i still wish i was there.

"Olivia come one" Dustin motioned me to hurry up. 

(Listen to - Detroit Rock City)

I walked through the doors being led by Dustin into a dingy room with 1 yellow light. I nervously walked behind Dustin as he approached Eddie. I obviously caught his eye because I've never even showed interest in D&D. "why is she here?" Eddie motioned his hand to my body. "You asked for a sub, and we delivered" Dustin announced sounding proud. "This is Hellfire club, not Therapy." Eddie said smirking to his mean ass comment. I gave him a dirty look then nudged Dustin. Eddie got out of his chair and walked over to me. "Why are you actually here? you seem to be obsessed with me" He had a cocky grin on his face looking around to see if anyone laughed. Embarrassing. "Are we going to play or are you going to keep staring at me" I rested my hands on my hips waiting for him to say something. He smiled and stuck out his hand "Welcome to Hellfire" I rolled my eye but shook his hand.

We all took our seats around the table. Eddie pulled out his folder and held a pencil in his hand. He introduced where they left off last. "You are scared, you are hungry. What do you do? what you flee Vecna's cultists, or do you stand your ground?"

The game was almost over when there were only Dustin and I left. We all huddled in a circle discussing our options. "I hate to say this guys, but we might have to flee" Gareth considered. "Didn't we just agree to the death?" I questioned. "Maybe i interject gentlemen, and Olivia... you should consider taking Gareth The Great concern to heart, there's no shame in running, don't try to be hero's kay?" Eddie suggested. We all turned back around "How many hit points do you n Olivia have left?" Mike asked "15" Dustin and I said. "It's your guys call yor the ones on the field." Mike said. "To the death?" I looked at Dustin for an answer. "Screw it, to the death" Dustin said confidently.

Dustin picked up the dice, shook it in his hand, and let go. We all watched carefully, waiting for the dice to stop. It rolled a 15. "NOO" Dustin groaned loudly. "THATS. A. MISSS!" Eddie shook his hair. Shit. it was my turn. I took the dice in my hand and turned to Dustin for support. He put his hand on my shoulder. I shook the dice in my hand then let go. It felt like everything was moving in slow motion. The dice slowed down then came to a stop. Landed a perfect 20. They all cheered and celebrated as they defeated Vecna. "THATS WHY WE PLAY!" Eddie said feeling happy for them. 

Dustin and Mike stayed a little after as they helped put away pieces. I waited in the hall for them to be done. When they walked out with Eddie, we noticed that the gym was empty. what time is it i thought. As we started walking to my car Eddie called out to me from behind. "Olivia, hey can you come here for a sec?" Eddie asked. I tossed Dustin the keys so they could get in.

"Whats up?" I asked walking over to Eddie. He seemed anxious, fidgeting with his rings. "You were amazing, you saved everyone" He complimented. A smile grew on my face as he said that. Why is he only nice to me when we're alone. "So maybe after my drug deal, you could come over and we could get hig-" I cut him off when i saw Lucas and his basketball "friends" come out of the gym doors. They were all jumping and cheering. "- hold on I'll be right back" I said as i put a finger in front of Eddie's face.

I jogged over to Lucas pushing the other jocks trying to get to him. "Lucas! hey how did it go?" I asked. He looked over at my slightly disappointed but still smiled. "Olivia! It went so well I scored the last winning point!" He shouted over all the commotion. "Oh my god, that's amazing!" I hugged him. "Alright Olivia I gotta go but I'll see you sometime later." He said walking off with Jason. I looked over to where Eddie was originally standing. I walked over to my car and saw Eddie in his van about to drive off. I knocked on the window gesturing for him to roll down the window. "Hey Eddie, what were you say other there-" "Forget it Olivia" He cut me off then sped out of the parking lot.

I scoffed and got into the car. "What was that all about" Dustin asked said looking out the window. "Nothing" i muttered. I parked my car in the Wheeler's driveway saying goodbye to mike and hurrying home.

(Listen to - Where is my mind)

I closed my bedroom door and kicked off my shoes, sipping on the bottle of beer i just opened. I sighed thinking about Eddie. I wish i got to hear what he said but at least i got to talk to Lucas. Eddie only ever seemed nice to me when we were alone. I still wonder if he told anyone about my sh. So many thoughts about Eddie filled my head. Why am i always thinking about him? I don't even like him. 

I woke up to ringing in my ears. I don't even remember falling asleep. I walked out to the living room with the TV staticing. I reached for the remote but quickly noticed my arms, I instantly let go of the remote and let out cries of horror. There were cuts and gushes on my arms and blood trickling down onto the hard wood floor. "Your pathetic Olivia" I looked up and it was Eddie. "Everything is your fault. Your dads drinking is all your fault. Your mom never being around is all because of you, you are weak and pathetic". Eddie said walking up to me slowly, backing me into a wall. He grabbed hold of my wrist. "LET ME GO!" I scream.

I sat up out of breath. 3 nightmares in 1 week wtf is going on. I grabbed my alarm clock looking at the time, 7:50 am. I wiped my tear-stained face and slowly got up and walked over to my vanity putting on some quick makeup before going downstairs. As I was putting my slippers on Dustin barged into my room "Hey-" 

"Eddie's in trouble" Dustin said sounding very worried. I noticed Max standing uncomfortably behind Dustin which confused me.
