The other Mayfield (Will Byers X Reader)

004.Searching for Eddie

~~~Y/N POV~~~

"Chrissy Cunningham? You're sure it was Chrissy?" Dustin asked passing back in forth.

We were at Dustin's house, telling him everything we saw.

"Yes I know what I saw, she was in her cheerleader outfit when Max saw her with Eddie." I say looking down.

"Did you tell this to the cops?" He asks

"No"

"No- W-we can't be the only one's who saw them together, I mean they stood out." Max said her eyebrows furrowing together.

"Eddie the freak, with Chrissy the cheerleader?" He asked again.

"Exactly, you know his names not in the news yet or anything--" Max says.

"-- but I guarantee you Eddie is suspect number one right now" I cut in.

"That's crazy!" Dustin says in disbelief, "Eddie didn't do this! no way."

We give him a look.

"No way!"

"We can't rule it out!" Max says,

"Yes we can!"

"Dustin!"

"You guys don't know him like I do, Okay? When we got to high-school, Lucas made all his sports friends. Mike and me? I mean no one, was nice to us" He explains,

"No one except Eddie" He finishes,

"Ok well they said the same shit about Ted Bundy." Max says "Yeah, he's a super nice guy, but then he's murdering woman on the weekend"

"So you're saying Eddie is like Ted Bundy?" He exclaims in disbelief.

"No, I'm not saying-- I'm saying that we can't presume anything, Okay?" She explained, as Dustin flung his hands in the air "But it doesn't look good for Eddie"

Dustin flops down on his bed with a sigh as he looks at the ground, before looking back up at us.

"Why haven't you told the cops this?" He asks,

"I... I don't know" I say, as we cross our arms over our chest.

"You don't know?" He says, leaning forward his eyes wide.

Max walks over and sits down on his bed by him while I stand.

"After I saw Eddie and Chrissy go in the trailer... Something else happened" She then explained everything, the lights flickering, Eddie screaming and running out of his house.

"Why didn't you tell me this?" I asked

" You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you" She says, as I nodded

"anyway, the power goes off at our place all the time, It's a piece of shit but... this morning I started to thing back... I-I don't know." She said, looking down.

"The look on his face- He was scared, Dustin. Really scared. Maybe he was scared because he killed someone, or maybe um, maybe be- because I don't- I Don't know" She finished, looking down with an expression I couldn't read.

"Something else killed her" Me and Dustin suggested, as she looked at us and nodded her head.

"But that's impossible." She says, "Right?"

"I don't know, it should be" I said

"There's only one person who actually knows what happened" Dustin said.

"Eddie." Me and Max said together.

Walking out of Dustin room we walked through the hallway and headed for the door of his house.
