YOUR EYES SNAP OPEN AS THE SOUND OF A CAR DRIVING CLOSE HITS YOUR EARS.
shit, i fell asleep!
you quickly sit up, shaking your head to remove your usual nightmare from your head.
you peer out the window, looking back at eddie as he hurriedly jumps up and out of the cover of the tarp, clutching the broken beer bottle.
"shit" he whispers, "do you see anyone?"
you shake your head.
you both flinch back as the door bursts open, "jesus"
you breathe out in relief as it was just robin, dustin, max, and steve.
"fuckin' hell.."
they hold up some bags, "delivery service"
eddie takes a box of cereal, eating straight from it.
"so we got, uh, some good news and some bad news. how do you prefer it?" dustin asks.
"bad news first, always" he takes a swig of a drink.
"all right. bad news. we tapped into the hawkins pd dispatch with our cerebro, and they're definitely looking for you"
eddie looks down, you purse your lips.
"also, theyre uh, pretty convinced you killed chrissy" dustin says.
"like, 100% kind of convinced" max adds on.
"and the good news?"
"your name hasn't gone public yet" robin says, "but if we found out about you, it's only a matter of time before others do, too. and once that gets out, everyone and their shallow-minded mother is gonne b gunning for you"
"hunt the freak, right?"
"exactly"
"shit"
you kiss your teeth.
"so, before that happens, we need to find vecna, kill him, and prove your innocence"
you deadpan.
"that's all, dustin? that's all?" eddie says sarcastically.
"yeah, no, that's-that's pretty much it"
you shake your head.
"listen, eddie, i know everything dustin is saying sounds totally delusional, but we've actually been through this kind of thing before, except [name]"
you sweat-drop and scratch your cheek.
"i mean, they have a-a few times and.. and i have once. mine was more human-fleshed-based, and theirs was more smoke-related" she waves her arm around, going off the point.
"but bottom line is, collectively, i really feel like we got this"
"yeah, see, we usually rely on this girl who has superpowers but, uh.. those went bye-bye, so uh.." steve says.
"so we're technically in-in more of the..."robin stammers.
"kinda.." steve tries to think of something.
"brainstorming phase"max says finally.
"brainstorming" steve clicks.
"there's.. there's nothing to worry about" dustin splutters.
you look between them all, "right, yep. no need to worry about evil creatures coming from this 'upside down' place. yup. no worries" you say sarcastically.
they all looka t you before all your attention turns back as sirens are heard.
"shit" steve says.
"tarp" robin says hurriedly.
"tarp. tarp"
eddie quickly rolls over in the boat, covering himself with the tarp.
you all run to the window as the sirens get louder.
you crouch down.
more police cars and an ambulance drive by, right passed the lakehouse and off somewhere else.
steve and the others turn to you, "okay, [name], stay here. if anything happens, tell us over the radio"
dustin hands you a walkie-talkie, you nod, "fine, okay"
they all leave and you sink onto the ground with a huff,
why am i always the one left with eddie? i mean, not that i'm complaining..
you shake your head with a small smile,
stop it
eddie peeks from out of the tarp as the sirens go distant and soon no longer able to be heard.
he gets out, sitting beside you and breathing out.
"really getting me nervous there" he laughs nervously.
you smile at him.
you look forward again, putting your hands on your knees and tapping your fingers gently on them.
he looks down at your hands, "woah, you have tattoos?"
you look at him with a small laugh, "yeah? i've always had them"
he smiles, "let's see"
you raise an eyebrow, "what?"
"i'll show you mine if you show me yours" (hehe harry potter quote)
you shrug, "alright, then"
you hold out both of your hands.
he takes them in his own, running his fingers over your tattoos.
he runs his finger down the snake tattoo on your ring finger.
you feel your face get progressively hotter.
he looks at the other one, rubbing his thumb along the chain tattoo along your wrist.
he goes to lift one of your rings to see the full tattoo, you pull your hand back.
he looks up at you, you shake your head.
he smiles, "okay, then. any others?"
you cough a bit, raising your eyebrows, "plenty"
he smirks a bit, you lift up your jean leg, showing him the skull and bones one on your ankle.
then your other pant leg, showing him a small black heart with bat-like wings.
you then hesitantly pull up your sleeve, quickly making sure no bruises were visible, giving a quiet sigh of relief as they weren't.
he looks down at your wrist, "what's with the bandages"
you shrug casually, "fashion"
you then show him the tattoo just below the inside of your elbow, it was a black mouth with vampire fangs and just above it a small sad face with 'x' eyes.
then your other arm, around the middle of it was a tattoo with three hands, one holding a knife and sticking it through the other, the knife reading 'trust no one'
you pull your sleeves back down and turn around, lifting up your knitted jumper a bit.
his face goes a mad red.
you show him a tattoo of a pentagram and two crescent moons with button patterns on either side.
you pull your shirt back down, "that's all of mine. now let's see yours"
he smiles, "alright, then"
you smile back.
eddie then showed you all his tattoos, you smile at him, "sick tats"
he laughs, you both sit back up against the wall.
you look down with a smile, "thank you"
he looks over at you, "huh?"
you smile warmly at him, "thank you"
he raises an eyebrow with a small smile, "for what?"
you look forward, "for the most fun i've had in ages"
he looks at you, "what? showing each other our tattoos?"
you smile with a small laugh, "yeah.. trust me, with shitty parents like mine, fun things don't come so easily"
you both look down, smiling slightly.
"you don't need to be worried" you say.
he looks at you.
you look at him, "i'm sure the others will find a way to kill this fucker and then we can all prove your innocence" you smile.
he smiles back at you, "yeah, thanks"
