4: Finding Eddie.

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Hey." Max called. "Look over here."

Robin and I walked up to her, peering at the newly discarded food wrappers.

"Someone was here." Max said.

"Maybe he heard us." Robin suggested in a hushed whisper. "Got spooked and ran."

"No way. If he heard us he's probably hiding in here somewhere." I shrugged.

"Don't worry." Dustin said loudly. "Steve'll get him with his oar."

I snorted a bit, covering my mouth with my hand.

"I know you think you're being funny Henderson, but considering the fact that everyone in this room has nearly died about a hundred times." Steve said, Dustin making sarcastic faces at him. "Personally, I don't find it funny enough-"

Steve was cut off by a figure launching itself from the tarp, everyone shouted and yelled as the person grabbed Steve by the shoulders, pushing him into the wall.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Steve protested as Dustin backed up into me and Steve was smashed against the wall.

There Eddie was, holding Steve to the wall and a broken glass bottle to his neck.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Eddie!" Dustin yelled.

"Jesus, Eddie!" I shouted. "Holy shit, Eddie."

"Stop!!" Dustin yelled.

"Eddie!" I bumped into Dustin.

Eddie looked away from Steve upon hearing Dustin's and my voice.

"It's me." Dustin pointed to himself. "It's us." He gestured to the two of us.

"It's Y/n and Dustin. We're your friends." I said as calmly as possible.

"This is Steve." Dustin pointed at him. "He's not gonna hurt you, right, Steve?"

"Right, yeah." Steve whispered.

"Don't worry, Eddie, Steve wouldn't hurt a fly." I said, Steve nodding along.

"Steve, why don't you drop the oar?" I suggested, widening my eyes at him.

Steve let go of the paddle and Eddie freaked out, bringing the bottle closer to his neck.

"He's cool! He's cool." Dustin's hand was raised.

"Cool, man, I'm cool, cool." Steve whispered.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie's voice was menacing but it wavered a bit.

I sighed. "We're looking for you. Haven't been able to find you since... well, you know."

Robin shifted uneasily behind me. "We're here to help."

"Eddie." Dustin spoke calmly. "These are Y/n and I's friends."

"Y/n's and my friends, thank you very much." I corrected him and it seemed to relax Eddie just a bit knowing I was still the same old Y/n.

"You know Robin." Dustin pointed at her and she shrugged at Eddie. "From band." Robin made a trumpet noise and hand gesture.

"This is our friend Max." I gestured at her. "The cool one who never wants to play D&D."

Max awkwardly waved.

"Eddie." Dustin sighed. "We're on your side."

Eddie looked super skeptical.

"I swear on my mother." Dustin said loudly. "Right, guys??"

Max nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, we swear."
