Five days later.

Almost a full week with no update on Eddie's whereabouts, no calls, no sightings around town, nothing.
He was officially a missing person when the second day dragged around, each passing minute felt like it was drowning you, a heavy weight ontop of your chest that made it near impossible to sit up in bed when the sun came up, though sleeping was barely a thing...finding yourself just staring in one spot towards the door or window while in bed as time still existed around you.

Eddie's uncle was crushed, you knew he was even if he seemed to be more put together than you about what was going on, that was the sort of man he was like, He felt pain, but he knew he had to get up and get things done, instead of sitting hoping to hear something he wanted.. or something he didn't, he forced himself to keep busy, mostly because he'd said to Hopper who reported Eddie as missing that he wasn't going to sit around and do jack shit and not help,
'My boy is out there somewhere' .  Wayne was a year or so above Jim in school, wouldn't say they were best buds but, more of a friendly acquaintance, they both knew Elizabeth well.

Your mom was back at work now, had been for some time after her collapse on the ward, she kept checking the patience list of sign ins to see if Eddie sighed his name, she even told her work colleagues to try keep an eye out...explaining what Eddie looked like, how old he was, his birthday, all that information that someone might write down when checking into a hospital.
One of the most annoying things about this was that no one was talking or spreading the missing persons around town, Hawkins was going on like normal, because no one cared that the "satanic" guy had vanished, no one cared that Eddie Munson,  son of Alan (Al) Munson the criminal was missing, it was infuriating.

A few days back you were asking around places you knew Eddie went, like the diner and gas station not far from your apartment, with Steve beside for support you asked the guy working behind the register if they'd seen Eddie, showing a recent Polaroid, in your defence it was gone midnight, spending another day asking around with no luck, and the unbothered expression on this man's face was enough for you to go off like a stick of old dynamite that didn't need a spark for it to explode.
If Steve wasn't there to wrap his arms around your waist and yank you off the counter before you could get your hands around the man's neck, you'd probably be locked up for assault and useless in helping to find Eddie.

"Hey...HEY!! IT'S OKAY~"
Steve says as he basically carries your thrashing body out of the gas station apologising to the man on your behalf hoping he doesn't call the cops while you were yelling and screaming at him on how Eddie was a good person and how people should be out there looking for him like they would if he was someone they knew and cared for.
"What good are you gonna be if your being detained?? I'm pissed too, trust me, but if you get yourself locked up your not going to be able to look for him..."
Steve says as he still keeps hold of you, standing back beside his car,
"Why aren't people helping...!? Why don't they care?!"
You said with tears and pain flooding from your face, you know the answer to that, and so did Steve, but you both didn't want to acknowledge it because it was infuriating.
