Trauma Finds Love | Eddie Munson

Chapter 11

We areived at Ms. Kelley's house and Max walked out the car. We watched as she reached the front door and rang the doorbell. I looked at her every mvoe to make sure she was okay. She's been worrying me for a while now. It seemed that we were both in a very bad state at the moment. Even though we were just getting better.

A lady opened the door. She seemed nice. I watched as they talked for a couple of seconds before she was able to walk in. She looked back at the car before the door was closed behind her. "Okay, she's in" Steve said, looking from outside the window. Dustin peaked his head in between both front seats and said "I'm missing collarbones, not eyes"

I looked at him with a grimaced expression. "Okay that was a...weird comment." I pursed my lips together and looked down at my hands. "So...we gonna talk about...it?" Steve was still looking out the window before turning back and looking at Dustin. Same with me.

"Huh? Sorry, talk about what?" He asked confused. I was confused myself, I don't blame him. But I might have an idea of what Dustin was about to bring up.

"Your temporary insanity earlier today? When you basically threw yourself at Nance?" He said throwing his hands up for drama. It sort of reminded me of Eddie. He always did something to make things more dramatic. It was cute though.

Wait, why the hell did that remind me of Eddie? Now that I think about it, he's been on my mind for a while now. But whatever. Im probably just worried about him. An old friend being accused or murder. Who wouldn't be worried?

I heard the window next to me start to lower. What the hell? I turned my head, expecting to see Steve messing with me but he wasn't there. And neither was Dustin. Why am I having so many of these little episodes? I didn't move from the car, too scared to move.

I looked around as much as I could. The clouds started to darken. Just like it did in these other visions. Then I heard...squelching sounds? As if something wet was moving. Okay, that sounded weird.

But then I saw something like a figure getting near. These visions are getting worse what the hell is going on? What I saw next made me want to scream but it was as if nothing could come out my mouth. As if I couldn't talk.

Some figure, a very huge mifure might I add, stopped right by the open window. There were, vines wrapped around his body? This was creepy. But now that I thought about it...maybe this was Vecna. That creep that's been killing random teens.

"It's almost time...Juliet."

Then I snapped back into reality and still heard Steve and Dustin talking. I didn't want to worry then with what was happening to me so I decided to not tell them anything. Once we figure out how to stop this thing, I'll tell them.

"As it relates to your steadfast refusal to date Robin, it's pretty much the only logical explanation." Dustin said. I turned back to look at them confused. "That's not the only one...And as for Nance I was just trying to protect a friend." Dustin nodded sarcastically but that definitely didn't get past Steve. "A friend Henderson. Okay? I don't wanna find her in the morning with her eyes sucked out of her skull by this Vecna creep!" Dustin laughed at Steve and I couldn't help but chuckle myself. "You're like bright red in the face right now." I looked at Dustin then at Steve.

"He better not be. That girl caused enough damage to both me and him. So I will never approve of that girl...not like I did in the beginning but still." I said looking at Steve who glared at me. "Okay, I am not bright red in the face, alright? And, I don't wanna talk about it. I'll punch you so hard in the face your teeth will fall back out" My eyes widened as I heard his statement. "Woah..." I shook my head at him showing that it was not a good thing to say.

"Too far." Dustin said with a small hurt expression. My gaze softened at his face. I love this kid. Steve looked at us then at Dustin. "Not cool. Sorry." It seemed that he actually meant it. As he should. If he didn't I'd gladly punch him. I love this little kid like a little brother. "It's okay." Dustin said softly. He's so cute.

They looked at each other before Steve held his fist up for a fist bump which Dustin gladly followed with. I smiled at them. "You two can never stay mad at each other can you?" Dustin smiled at me showing his teeth. "Of course not. Just like you can never stay mad at neither of us." I shook my head and laughed lightly. "Can't say your wrong about that"

After a while, Max came out of Ms. Kelley's house and to the car. She had an unreadable expression on her face. "Here she comes. Here she comes." Steve said looking out the window. "I can see that" I rolled my eyes. "What'd she say" Dustin asked her. Max slammed the door behind her "Nothing. Just drive." Steve looked back at her. "Nothing?" She looked around and then looked at Steve. "Steve. Drive!"

Steve threw his hands up in surrender before getting the car ready to move. "Okay." The tires screeched as Steve drove away again. Max explained to us that she had the key to Mrs. Kelley's office and to head to the school and grab Chrissy's documents since Mrs. Kelley didn't budge and didn't tell Max anything. Which is understandable.

While we were on the way, Lucas' voice came from Dustin's walkie. He grabbed it from his backpack.

"Dustin. It's Lucas. Do you copy? Dustin."

"Lucas? Where the hell have you been?!"

I looked behind me to watch Dustin's interaction with Lucas from the walkie. Steve looked back too and I pushed his face so it would look back at the road. "Eyes on the road, dear brother. Eyes on the road"

"Just listen. Are you guys looking for Eddie?"

"Yeah, and we found him no thanks to you."

"You found him?"

"He's at a boathouse near Coal Mill Road. Don't worry he's safe."

Poor Lucas sounded so stressed. I hadn't seen him after the game the other day. Probably's been hanging out with those dickheads from the basketball team.

"You guys know he killed Chrissy right"

I take whatever I said back. He's a dickhead too.

"That's bullshit. Eddie tried to save Chrissy"

"Then why do all the cops say he did it?"

I watch as Max snatches the walkie from Dustin's hand and brings it up to her mouth to speak to her ex-boyfriend. Which I'm still upset that they broke up and still wondering why. She never told me any information involving her relationship with the boy.

"Lucas, you're so behind it's ridiculous, okay? Just meet us at the school. We'll explain later." I looked next to me and saw Steve doing the 'okay' symbol with his hand. I rolled my eyes at the small act and turned back to sit straight on the passenger seat.

"I...I can't. I think some real bad shit's about to go down"

"What are you talking about? What bad shit?

"Sinclair!"

That certainly didn't sound like Lucas. Not only that but after that voice, that sounded much older than Lucas was, the walkie went static.

"Lucas?...Lucas?"

Nothing.

Lucas' voice didn't sound back on the radio. It was just static. Eventually, Max just threw the radio back at Dustin and sat back down. She seemed annoyed. And I would be too so I know where she was coming from.

We finally arrived at the school and finally heard Robin's voice from the other side of the radio
