Masterlist

You, Eddie, and Dustin started work on securing the Upside Down version of his trailer. The work was quiet and focused. You felt sick to your stomach, begging, praying for everything to be okay for yourself, your brother, and the boy you'd fallen in love with over the last week.

You hadn't told Eddie how you felt. You felt it was inappropriate, considering everything happening at the moment. The three of you stood on the roof, glancing around when the crackle of radio static disrupted you.

"She's in. Move onto phase three." Robin's words only made you more nervous.

"Copy that. Initiating phase three." Dustin nodded at you. "Let's hope they hear this." He said as you connected the power cords.

The amp whirred as Eddie prepared for his moment. Dustin turned the volume all the way up.

"Chrissy. This one's for you." Eddie said, grabbing the guitar pick off of his necklace.

He didn't see the look of hurt that spread over your face.

You wanted to badly to stop him right there and tell him you wanted him, that you were in love with him, but you couldn't. Not now.

His fingers began to move wildly against the strings of his guitar as the familiar tune of Metallica's Master of Puppets rang through the stale air.

Dustin nudged you, bringing you out of your moment of self pity.

You smiled at him, feeling your heartbeat pick up with adrenaline. You threw an arm around Dustin, bumping your head to the music. You watched Eddie, but kept a constant look at the sky.

You pointed at the flock of demobats heading your way.

"Eddie!" Dustin yelled, catching the metalhead's attention. "We gotta lock down in T-minus 30 seconds!"

Eddie gave him a quick nod, letting him know he heard him.

"T-minus twenty!" You yelled out as the cloud grew bigger, closer to you.

"T-minus ten!" Dustin's voice was getting more strained as they got closer to us.

"Five!" You counted, grabbing onto your brothers shoulder.

"One!" He finished, looking at Eddie.

Eddie slammed the strings one last time letting it reverberate around you.

The three of you jumped from the roof onto the truck, making a mad dash to the porch which you had covered in fencing.

"Move, move, move!" Eddie yelled, ushering you and Dustin in front of him.

"Eddie, come on!" Dustin urged as you added a quick "Hurry!"

"Eddie, shut it" Dustin screamed.

With exactly no time to spare Eddie slammed the gate closed. The bats immediately began slamming into the metal separating them from us.

"Come on!" I begged, opening the door and rushing inside, the boys behind me.

"Dude..." Dustin breathed, resting against the wall. "Most metal ever!"

"Oh my.. Oh my god."

The boys jumped up and down with the adrenaline rush they both no doubt had, screaming as they jumped.

You couldn't help the smile that crept its way onto your lips as you watched them. "That was pretty fucking cool." You admitted as the boys brought you into the circle. "Now, come on." You added, pulling them into the living room.

The sounds of the bats screaming and slamming into the walls echoed through the silence, making you uneasy. The three of you stoon back to back, spear in one hand and shield in the other. The only thing scarier than that was the moment they stopped.

"Hey dipshits!" Dustin yelling, hoping to antagonize them. "Give up that easy, huh?" He added.

"Shh." Eddie shushed, looking around and meeting my terrified eyes. "Is that really necessary?"

You sighed, looking at Dustin, wondering the same thing. "They're on the roof." You stated, looking up to where the noise was coming from.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Dustin chanted, looking upwards.

You all made your way slowly to the origin on the sound

"They can't get in through there, can they?" Dustin asked, motioning towards a vent.

Just as the words left his mouth the vent clattered to the floor, revealing an ugly bat head.

You couldn't help the scream that left your lips as you jumped.

Eddie reached out to steady you before the three of you jumped into action, spearing at the bat. Dustin repeatedly screamed "Die!" as he stabbed at the bat's head.

Eddie stepped back and looked around, leaving you and Dustin to keep the creatures out of the house.

"Eddie! We need you!" You screamed, begging for his help.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Eddie yelled, running towards the two of you. He slammed a chair down, quickly standing on it to shove the shield to cover the hole.

There was a brief moment of silence, only the sound of your breathing and Eddie mumbling "Holy shit."

"Nice." Dustin said, earning a "Thanks" from Eddie.

"Are there any other vents?" You asked, bringing yourself back to the reality you were facing.

"Oh shit. Shit. Shit." Eddie jumped down from the chair and sprinted towards his room in just enough time to see the bats burst in from the vent and slam the door as he closed it.

The three of you retreated as you watched the bats begin to easily break down the door.

"That's not gonna hold!" Dustin yelled, triggering Eddie to yell back "Let's go! Let's go!"

Dustin was first up the rope and back into reality. "Come on!"

"Ladies first." Eddie demanded, letting you grab the rope and hoist yourself through the gate.

"Eddie! Come on!" Dustin yelled as you slammed into Eddie's mattress.

He tossed down the shield and spear to grab the rope. He reached upwards only a couple times before turning his head to look at the door.

"Eddie, come on!" Dustin yelled.

"Please, Eddie! Come on!" You begged, grabbing onto Dustin.

"Eddie, you're so close! Eddie! Let's go!" Dustin's screams cut you deep, watching him beg his friend to hurry.

Eddie looked down, making you sick to your stomach, even more so as he dropped back down the floor.

"Eddie no please. Eddie. Come on." You found yourself begging, clutching the rope in your hands, Eddie's just on the other side.

Eddie released the rope and dipped out of sight.

"Eddie!" You and Dustin both screamed.

"What are you doing? Eddie, no!" Dustin begged as Eddie let out a yell and cut the rope, his half falling to the ground and the other falling into your hands.

"Eddie!" Tears pricked your eyes as you watched him move the mattress out of the way.

"Eddie stop." Dustin begged, watching what was happening before him. "Eddie, what are you doing?" Dustin demanded, finally getting Eddie's attention.

"I'm buying more time." He answered simply before running off.

"No!" You screamed, falling to your knees, still clutching the rope in your hands.

Dustin was still begging but you couldn't hear what he was saying as your blood rushed through your body, the thump of your heart drowning everything else out.

After a moment you stood. "We have to go get him." You said, looking around, searching for something to get you back into the Upside Down.

Dustin pushed the mattress out of the way as you moved a chair to directly under the gate.

"Screw it." Dustin then screamed as he ran, using the chair to propel himself. He grabbed ahold of the gate and pulled himself through, landing with a thud being matched with a scream of pain.

"Dustin!" You yelled, as he rolled out of the way. You followed behind, landing on your knee and releasing a similar pained scream. "Come on, we gotta go." You urgerd, helping him to his feet.

It was obvious where Eddie was as soon as we stepped out of the door. The bats were swarming him.

"Eddie!" Dustin screamed as we limped, hurring as quickly as our damaged bodies would take us.

His screams echoed over the creatures as they did god knows what to him.

"Eddie! Goddamnit!" You screamed, picking up the pace even though it hurt. You had to get to him.

The bats suddenly dropped, showing us Eddie's body laying scrawled out on the ground. "Eddie! Oh god!" You screamed, getting closer to him.

Dustin dropped to his knees near Eddie's head, you right behind him as his side. "Eddie. Oh god, Eddie."

You took in the deep cuts and the blood in his mouth. You looked into his glassy eyes as he asked. "That bad, huh?"

"No." You whispered, resting a hand on the side of his face.

"You're gonna be fine. We just gotta get you to a hospital, okay?" Dustin spewed, giving his friend a false hope.

"Okay." Eddie agreed as Dustin tried to get him up

"I think... I think I just need a second, okay?" Eddie said, unable to move himself.

Eddie looked back at you. "I didn't run away this time, right?"

You broke, the tears that welled fell down your dirty face as your caressed his. "No. No." You choked out.

"You didn't run." Dustin added, resting his hand on your shoulder as you comforted his friend.

Eddie's eyes moved from your to Dustin. "You're gonna have to look after those little sheep for me, okay?"

"No, you're gonna do that yourself." Dustin argued as you worked to clean the blood from Eddie's face.

"Nah, man." Eddie shook his head a bit. "Say, 'I'm gonna look after them.' Say it."

"I'm" Dustin started but he choked. "I'm gonna look after 'em."

"Good. 'Cause I'm actually gonna graduate." Eddie offered a weak chuckle.

Even knowing he wasn't going to make it, he managed to bring a small smile to your face.

"I think it's my year, guys. I think it's finally my year."

You couldn't stop yourself. It was now or never. "I love you, Eddie Munson." You bent down, pressing a shaking kiss to his lips.

"I love you too, Y/N. And I love you, man." His voice grew weaker and you looked at Dustin, who had tears falling freely from his eyes as well.

"I love you too." He mumbled out, unable to being his voice any louder.

A few tears slipped out of Eddie's eyes before he went still in your arms, the raspy gurgle from his blood silenced.

"Eddie? Eddie?" Dustin asked pitifully. "Eddie, come on." He begged shaking him gently.

You gripped his jacket and screamed. You knew it came from deep deep down inside of you. It was guttural, animalistic as you pulled yourself to meet his chest. Just as quickly as he came into your life, he was gone. You turned to your brother, wrapping your arm around him as he did the same to you.

You held each other for god knows how long until you gathered the strength to move. You removed Eddie's class ring from his ring finger and slipped it onto your middle one. "You're getting across that stage, Eddie. I swear to you." You whispered, resting your hand on the side of his face for another moment before closing his eyes. You pressed another kiss to his forehead before removing yourself from his limp body.

Dustin chose his necklace, kissing the pick before tucking it into his pocket.

"Come on, Dustin." You stood, ignoring the stabbing pain in your knee as you and your brother made your way back to the trailer, tears still falling and cleaning trails down your dirt covered faces.

Really random but I had the weirdest dream last night.

It's like really fuzzy but basically, the new season of Stranger Things came out. And I think I watched the first episode, there was this really weird new monster from the Upside Down that was like Threat with a capital T. The kids were fighting it (the older teens were not present which I'm pretty sure was the kids' first mistake in dealing with this monster) but it really seemed like the monster was gonna kill El.

The scene was written like a death scene (at least to my dream-self), like this was the moment El was gonna die. BUT then Will just ran right in front of El, and there was an explosion and the monster returned to the Upside Down or something, leaving a portal open where it left.

But Will was on the ground, and when he looked up his nose was bleeding and he looked like seriously fucked up using his apparently secret telekinetic powers. Like he was screaming for a while clutching his head before he looked up.

ANyway, so what I'm saying is I hope Will doesn't get super bad repercussions if he does indeed have powers. AND either I'm gonna write a fic, or someone else has too.

A nice day reading fanfics at 3 in the morning 😭

And then 😭

This 😭
