Trauma Finds Love | Eddie Munson

Chapter 16

Juliet Harrington

"So..."

Everyone looked at me as I spoke up. I looked down at the envelopes for them and handed them to each of them. Dustin looked at me with sad eyes and I looked down.

I couldn't bare having them face this pain and worry to me leaving them. But I was going to fight. For them. For the people I loved.

"Since Max gave them out I decided to give mine out too. And um..." I looked down at Mike, El, Will, and Jonathan's envelopes in my mind. "Hand these to the people who's names are on there. If you manage to find them y'know"

I gave them to Steve and he willingly took them. Not even bothering to look at who they're for. Which was shocking to me. I guess when you find out you're twin sister's at the risk of dying, nothing else matters anymore.

Max walked up to a small table and grabbed the walkie that was on top. "If we go to East Hawkins, will this still reach Pennhurst?" She asked as she turned around to look at us for an answer. Which Dustin gladly gave.

"Of course, yeah." Steve looked at all of us and came into realization. "Wait, wait. W-why are we talking about East Hawkins?"

Max gave him a knowing look and immediately shook his head. "No. No. No!"

But it was too late. She already started walking out the stairs and Lucas and Dustin followed her. Steve stood up and looked at me. "Is she serious?" He asked pointing a finger up to the direction where they went.

I rolled my eyes and followed them up the stairs and Steve eventually had to come after all of us. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to East Hawkins.

Billy was there.

And I wasn't sure if I wanted to go see his grave. Even though I had a letter for him. I didn't want to. Sure, it's almost been a year. But watching him die was something I never thought would happen. But it did. And I had to live with it.

Maybe I should just ask Steve to drop me off at the boathouse. I could spend some more time with Eddie anyway. Before I left.

"Max. Max! Seriously. Seriously, I'm not joking okay? I'm not driving you anywhere!" He said chasing after the red head. I followed close behind him.

"Steve, if you think that I am going to spend what is likely the last day of my life in the armpit that is Mike Wheeler's basement, then you're out of your mind. So you either take me where I need to go or you're gonna have to tie me down which is technically kidnapping of a minor. And if I live to see another day Steve, I swear to gosh, I will prosecute."

She tried to open the door. But it was locked. "Open the door." She said bluntly as she looked over at Steve. "Uh...no." He said immediately. I scoffed and looked at him. "Just open the door Steve. I need you to drop me off at the boathouse anyway." I said starting to grow annoyed.

Steve looked at me and I looked back at him. "I know a good lawyer" Max suddenly spoke up. Steve looked at her in disbelief before shaking his head and letting out a scoff.

Eventually, he gave in and reached for the keys in his pocket and looked at Dustin. "Henderson, that super walkie of yours, better reach Pennhurst."

Everyone got inside and I was about to too. But then I heard a clock chiming again. 4 times. Again. I looked back and didn't see anything.

"Jules!" I looked down and saw Steve looking at me. "You okay?" He asked worriedly. I nod at him before climbing inside the passenger seat.

"You sure you wanna go back to the boathouse?" I only nod at him and he sighed. I could tell he was concerned for me. But I'm about to die. So may my last wishes come true.

We drove to the boathouse and i took the seatbelt of. Dustin looked at me with sad eyes. "Be careful, Jukes. If anything, Eddie has a walkie you can communicate with." I looked at him and smile, lightly patting his cheek twice.

"I'll be fine Dusty. I'll see you guys later." I opened the car door and Steve stopped me before I was able to close it. "Jules."

I looked down at him "Hm?" He sighed and opened his own door and walking up to me. He put his hands on my shoulders and kept a firm grip on me. "Please be careful. If anything happens and I eman anything don't hesitate to call for us, alright? We'll be right there."

I know he was just looking after me. But I wanted him to know that I'd be fine. Unfortunately, I couldn't promise that to myself. I only nodded in response and he let me go.

"I love you Jules." He said softly and starting to walk backwards to the car.

"Yeah, I love you too." I told my brother. This could possibly be the last time we speak. And I had to face the truth whether I want to or not.

He got in the car and drove away. I stood there for a while watching them leave. I didn't say bye to Max. I know she was going through a hard time but maybe we'd both be fine. We probably still have time left. This Vecna dude can't possibly get us that quick.

Right?

Wrong.
