Y/N POV

It's been so long, ever since I broke up with Steve Harrington. It was all because of me. If I hadn't been so careless and ignorant, we would still be a striving couple right now. Not that I still love him but I feel like sometimes I feel him in my heart. Whenever he wanted to hang out or be lovey-dovey, all I did was push him away. I noticed hints of him hanging out with Nancy Wheeler more but never acknowledged it. If I did, maybe we would still be together. I don't have lingering feelings but I do have regrets. Deep inside. I became best friends with Eddie Munson after the breakup and I never told Steve how I felt deep inside but Eddie helped me with everything that I did and so after we became best friends, we both developed feelings for one another. We started dating 3 months ago and it's going pretty fine so far. I guess he took hints from my behavior toward Steve, he does not very lovey-dovey but when he is, I push him away sometimes but he understands it.

Today is our 3-month anniversary and we were deciding on celebrating it at home, watching movies, or hanging around, together away from people. It was perfectly timed anyway, my parents left for business trips and my house was free so I invited him over. He knocked on my door and I let him inside.

"Okay, so what do you wanna do first?" I asked him. "It's pretty early so let's just save the movie for later tonight. Do you wanna order some food?" he asked me and I smiled. "Yeah, sure. You can order whatever you'd like, I bet I will like it as well. I'll just go upstairs and tidy my room really quickly." I said and ran upstairs to tidy my room. I picked up a book on the ground and as I did, something in between it slid out. I picked it out and saw a photo of me and Steve kissing. I put it away quickly before Eddie saw me staring at it. "What's that sweetheart?" he asked me, getting closer. I put it back in the book and put it away. "Oh, nothing. Just an old photo." I said to him. "Well, I think the delivery guy is running by close so, let's go down," he said to me. "Sure," I replied and we went downstairs. We sat down at the table waiting for the delivery to come and I couldn't stop thinking about the picture. The regret, the mistake. Eddie must've seen me zoning out so he confronted me. "Sweetheart, what's wrong? You've been acting so strange suddenly. Is it because of that photo?" he asked me. "No, it's nothing. I'm okay, just thinking about the things we could do today." I lied to him but he looks like he can tell that I'm lying. "With a frown on your face? Do you not want to celebrate?" he asked me. "No no, of course, I want to celebrate. I'm just a determined thinker, you know?" I gave him a fake laugh and then the delivery came in. 

We ate our food, hung out for a bit until it was evening, and decided to watch our movie. However, all I could think about are the things that happened between me and Steve. The argument and the breakup as all that were on my mind. I wasn't even focused on the movie. Then after the movie ended, Eddie took my hand and we went outside. "Where are we going?" I ask him confused. "I'm taking you on a walk. It clears your mind, it might help you with whatever is on your mind that is keeping you from having fun," he said which made me feel bad. "I'm sorry. It's just... I can't stop thinking about 6 months ago. The perfect relationship that I messed up because I was so careless. I was only afraid of losing him. I only wanted to be a good girlfriend. I never wanted to be too clingy or anything but I guess I crossed the line and caused it all to end." after I said that, I realized that I had let the regret of my past relationship slip through into our anniversary. "I'm so sorry. I can't believe I'm talking about my past relationship on our anniversary, sorry." I said and he smiled at me. "It's okay love, I'm not only your boyfriend but your best friend as well. You can tell me everything," he told me, reassuring me. After the walk, the day ended and I sent him home and then went to sleep after.

The next day, I got up to go to Eddie's but then stopped at the door. I realized that my past relationship was affecting my current relationship. I went to my room to hide away all the photos of me and Steve. Then after I did so, I didn't really feel like going to his trailer anymore. I wanted to stay home and rest. I called Eddie. "Hello?" Eddie answered. "Hey, Eddie. I'm sorry, I can't come over today." I replied. "Why not?" he sounded disappointed. "I just.. have some plans. I'll come over tomorrow." I then hung up before he could say anything. I wanted the day to myself so I could think over what the heck I was doing to Eddie. So I did. I decided that I shouldn't be a coward and still have my head stuck in my past mistakes. This is a new start, a gift. So I should be grateful for what I have now. I can't keep pushing Eddie away when I love him so much. I should show him that he is very much wanted and needed in my heart. I was hoping Eddie to show up at my house today but he didn't. What did I expect? I canceled our plans anyway.

Then the next day, I went to school. After I saw Eddie in the hallway, I walked up to him but he walked straight past me. I turned around to see him still walking all the way to his class. Did he not see me or was he doing this on purpose? Lunch came and when I went to sit with the gang, Eddie wasn't there. "Hey Dustin, do you know where Eddie is?" I asked Dustin and he looked at me shocked. "You don't know where he is?" he asked me confused. "No, okay where is he?" I asked him. "Seriously? He went to meet Chrissy in the woods. I thought you knew?" he said to me and my heart dropped. "Why?" I asked him. "Because you're his girlfriend?" he said to me. "No no no. Why is Eddie meeting Chrissy in the woods?" I asked him. "I don't know. He didn't mention why," he said and I stood up off my table and went after him. Why would he meet Chrissy? What if he got bored of getting pushed away from me and started getting with another girl? I walked into the woods slowly trying not to make much noise. Then, I hid behind a large log, looking at what they were doing. They were talking? No drug deal? Just talking? I then saw him fall to the ground and back up, laughing with her. My heart broke seeing this. I ran away and out of the woods, almost crying.

EDDIE POV

I was doing a "drug deal" with Chrissy Cunningham. However, we started to talk and become closer. I was joking with her and then heard footsteps in the woods. I went there to check it out but saw nothing. I went back to sell her the drugs and escorted her out of the woods and said goodbye. I went back to class to see Y/N with a frown on her face. Why is she in such a bad mood these days? Whenever I try to get close to her, she just pushes me away and I understand that that's her thing but I know she misses Steve. That's too much. 

Classes ended and I left straight after, canceling my hellfire tonight.

Days went by just like this. Y/N didn't talk to me or reach out to me. I hoped for her to apologize but it ended up breaking our relationship even more. My heart hurt at the thought of Y/N being with Steve. I wonder if she realizes that she's committing the exact same mistake with me.

Y/N POV

It's been 4 days since I saw Eddie in the woods with Chrissy. I wonder if they're still hanging out. My blood boils at the thought of him cutting contact with me and going and hanging out with the so-called queen of Hawkins high. Don't the popular kids hate him? 

Every day went on just like the one before but my mental state kept on getting worse. I really needed to talk to him but how do I? Suddenly talking to the love of my life seems like rocket science. Every time he passes by me, I look at him with a frown but he never looks back at me. That's the hardest part. It's almost like I'm not even there anymore. He won't even look at me and probably doesn't even think about me. 

After 5 days, Dustin and Mike came up to me wondering why we were acting like this. "Y/N, what happened to you and Eddie? Y'all just decided to break apart without a word?" Dustin asked. "To be honest, I really don't understand what is going on. There are some things that happened between us but I don't know why he won't talk to me. I mean, he might be upset but he has never ignored me this much before. Normally we would just talk it out but this time, it felt different. It felt more real and harsher." I told them. "Why don't you just talk to him?" Mike asked me. "Look, Mike, it may seem like an easy thing from a 3rd person perspective but when you're really there, like in 1st person, it's so much harder. I want to talk to him but I don't know how. What if he doesn't wanna talk?" I explained to them. "If he really loves you which I'm sure he does, he will talk to you. I'm sure he doesn't want this continuing for another day." Dustin told me. "It's just... confusing, you know? It's really difficult and I feel lost. I feel so lost that I feel like I'm going insane." I told them. "Do you need help?" Mike asked. "What?" I looked at them confused. "Maybe we can help you guys, maybe we can persuade him into talking to you," he told me. "That sounds like a great idea but even if you did help, the hardest part is still up to me and me only," I said, making them shrug their shoulders. "That part's up to you. We can only help bring the subject to you." Mike said. "Yeah, just give me some time. You guys can convince him whenever I'm ready." I told them. "Oh come on Y/N, how long do you plan on continuing this couple bicker bull?" Dustin asked me. I shrugged my shoulders and walked away. The whole day, all I could think about was how the heck I was going to tell him everything.

The whole week ended and I had the weekend to myself. I planned on using it to form and find the right words for that specific day. I wanted to call Eddie and tell him to meet me by myself, it would be really pathetic to get 2 freshmen to persuade him into talking with me. So I did. I punched in the numbers and started to call him. A few rings later, he picked up. Or should I say, she? "Hello?" it was Chrissy. My heart sunk deep and I felt extreme anger. I changed my voice so that she wouldn't know that it was me. "Hello? Is uhh Eddie Munson here?" I asked her in a totally different voice tone. "Oh well, he's out right now. He'll be back soon," she explained to me. "Well, may I ask who you are? I'm just a friend calling to check in." I told her. "I'm..." she hesitated for a second. "... his girlfriend. I'll tell him to call you back when he's back," she told me. "Oh... don't do that," I said and immediately hung up. I dropped to the floor in horror. His girlfriend? Really? A few days of not being together and he already has a new girl? I did it again, didn't I? I made the same exact mistake as 6 months ago but worse. I've now lost both my boyfriend AND my best friend. 

I cried myself to sleep and woke up feeling like crap. My eyes were swollen and still red, my head felt heavy and it hurt really bad. I told mom that I wanted to stay home and about my situation so she accepted it and I took the week off school. I lied in bed all day just crying and thinking about what happened yesterday. Extreme jealousy took over me instantly and made my head hurt even more. I hoped Eddie would check up on me but I guess he really did forget about me. I went to sleep very early, still a mess.

EDDIE POV

It's been about a week and a half since we last talked. She won't even talk to me or apologize. I don't know why but I feel really angry about the fact that he started liking Steve again, so I'm giving her some time to think since she's such a 'determined thinker'. I noticed she hasn't been coming to school lately and I'm worried. Did something happen to her? I should go to her but Chrissy kept stopping me. She keeps telling me that Y/N did something wrong and that she should apologize first. I can't help but agree. But I don't want to lose her over this.

It's been 2 weeks. She won't come to school. I'm worried sick already. What happened to her? You know what? Screw Chrissy. Although she says she knows these things better than me, I feel like she has other intentions. I can't let it get to me, it's not her life but mine. 

I was getting ready to leave school and to Y/N's when Chrissy interrupted me. "Hey Eds, where are you going?" she asked me. "To Y/N's. She hasn't been coming to school and I'm really worried." I told her. "She's okay, I'm sure. Why don't you stay for a bit and wait for me to finish my practice and then we could get dinner together?" she asked me. "No Chrissy, my girlfriend is missing and I'm worried sick and plus, screw your advice. My heart can't keep it together anymore and I'm sure she thinks so too." I told her. "She's back to Steve. I-I saw them together!" she said to me. "Well, we just gotta find out and see don't we?" I told her and drove off.

I arrived at her house and knocked. I tried to open her door just to make sure she locked it and it opened. She has her door unlocked? doesn't she know how dangerous it is? I walked up the stairs to her room and opened the door. I saw her sleeping and so my worries were brushed away. I walked closer to her and saw her eyes were red and puffy. It seems like she has been crying a lot. I brushed her hair off of her face and she woke up. 

Y/N POV

I felt someone touch my face and I woke up to it. "Mom?" is all I could think of. Who else would it be? I woke up more and saw that the person was not mom after all. It was Eddie. My glance turned into a guilty stare. "Oh, hey Eddie," I said to him, making him sigh. "Is this why you weren't coming to school lately? Just crying all day? Your eyes are so puffy and red." he told me. "Well, what else can I do? I repeated the same exact mistake that I made 6 months ago. It ruined my life back then and now." I tell him, almost crying again. "Yes, I know. But it's okay now. We don't have to keep on ignoring each other from now on. IF you apologize." he said to me with a reassuring smile. "Even if we stop ignoring each other, what would change? Chrissy probably wouldn't allow us to be friends anymore." I said to him making him confused. "What?" he asked me. "A few days ago, I tried calling you, I tried to fix things but Chrissy answered instead. She told me that she was now your girlfriend. As much as I want to ask why she was at yours and what happened between us, I can't avoid the fact that I messed up." I told him. He looked at me weirdly. "Girlfriend? Did she really say that? She's not my girlfriend Y/N, you are." he told me, holding onto my shoulders. I'm not pushing him away this time. "I'm sorry. I really am. I kept acting weird not because I developed feelings for Steve which you probably thought I was but really, I only kept getting reminded of the mistakes and regrets I made with him. I was afraid of losing you and the anxiety kept getting worse. You know I'm bad at confessing my love. I've never felt so bad in such a long time. I'll just say that I love you and only you. You're the only one in my mind and the only one in my heart. I love you, Eddie. I really had a hard time without you." I smiled at him. He hugged me. Mid hug, I asked him. "So what's up with you and Chrissy? I saw you in the woods," I asked him. "So it was you huh? We just became a bit closer after that drug deal. Now it won't be like that anymore. She lied to me and manipulated me into doing bad things to you." he told me. "To be honest, I never want you close to another girl again. I want to hide it but I really can't. I'm literally obsessively in love with you and I couldn't stand it when I saw you two together. I felt like I could just kill her." I told him. "It's okay now sweetheart, everything is settled. Promise you won't push me away? I'll be open to whatever move you make on me. I'm as in love with you as you are with me." he told me and I closed my eyes and sat there in his embrace for a bit. 

After that day, I started being more open with him and reminded him how much I loved him every day so I wouldn't be afraid of telling him again. He really was open and affectionate to whatever I did with him. I then became more lovey-dovey and kept the relationship alive.

WARNING!!! SEXUAL ASSAULT INVOLVED!!!

Y/N POV

There is this huge party downtown and I heard most of my friends are going there. Even though I usually don't go to parties, maybe I should change that. Plus, it's better than spending all day doing nothing in this little old trailer anyway. 

I took out my party dress from the deep dark depths of the compartment under my bed and tried it on. It used to fit nicely a year ago... Now it's a bit tight on me but it kinda makes me look more like a party freak this way. I'll wear it. It is now 6 pm and the party starts at 8 pm. I'm getting ready and set to go. I bet all the fancy ladies will probably come in with their rich handsome boyfriends with his new fancy car. I'm just an ordinary girl living in a trailer park with her mom but I have a car. I can drive myself there and under no circumstances I'm ever letting a boy drive me to a party. I decided to sit in my car and wait for the time to come. It'd be stupid to arrive so early right?

EDDIE POV

I decided to go outside for some air after smoking so much weed, I see the girl next door walking to her car in a party dress. She looks kinda hot, wearing such tight clothing. I bet she's going to the party downtown but I thought she never goes to parties? Does she consider how easy it is to catch creeps going like that to a party with a bunch of strangers? She sat in her car but did not move. I guess she's waiting for the perfect time to leave. I mean, everyone is invited, right? I wouldn't go to a party either but maybe I can go too. Logic doesn't say freaks can't go to parties. I can at least help this party girl when I can. 

I decided to wear some casual clothing and wear some cologne in case I encounter some pretty ladies. I get ready to leave at 8.30 pm and I could see that the party girl has left. I hurry my way into my van and drive off to the place full of dorks.

Y/N POV

I arrived outside the house at about 8.45 pm. I hesitated on whether I should go in or not but right then, I heard someone knock on my window. When I looked to see who it was, it was Nancy, my best friend. I got out of the car in relief. "Nancy, you scared me," I said. "Sorry, I'll knock lighter next time." she smiled at me. "No, I was scared that you wouldn't come. I was just scared of going in there alone." I told her. "It's okay, Y/N. I'm here, now let's go inside, you look stunning by the way," she said as she took my hand and we went inside the house. As we went in, I could feel stares. I'm not sure if they were staring at Nancy or me. We went to the counter and grabbed a few drinks. "What is this?" I asked her. "I think it is pure fuel." she laughed as she chugged a cup of it. "Is this alcohol? I can't be having alcohol," I told her. "Come on Y/N! What is a party without alcohol? Try being a partier at least once in your life. You might never experience it again." she laughed at me. "True." I smiled and started drinking the bitter liquid. 

After a bit of drinking, Nancy decided to go to Steve and Johnathan so I was left alone. I sat down on an armchair and stared at the clock. It read 9.30 pm. I felt dizzy and sort of lost but pulled myself together since I was among a crowd of partiers.

EDDIE POV

I had a hard time trying to find the place where the party was but in the end, I found it. I walked in and right then and there, I saw Y/N drinking on an armchair. Isn't she only 18? I thought she didn't drink. I walked up to her, seeing that she is unwell. "Hey Y/N," I said before she looked at me confused. "What? Eddie Munson, my neighbor?" she asked. "Yeah, it's me. Are you having a good time?" I asked her. "Yes but no. I feel great that I finally fit in but my insides feel like they're about to pour out of me in seconds," she said which me laugh. "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" I offered her. "No thanks, I know what guys are up to these days. I'll go on my own. Don't think you can take advantage of me just because I'm a bit out of it." she told me. I stood out of her way as she walked to the bathroom, struggling. I watched her go in safely which made me sigh in relief. Why am I even here? Just to escort her? Just like she said, I'm sure she can on her own. So I walked to the door and Jason approached me. "What? Is this the freak at a party?" he said as the boys behind him laughed. "Yes it's me, don't cream your pants," I said as I gave them a fake smile before walking away. I left and entered my van and drove off.

Y/N POV

I started to throw up, feeling my insides twist. I've never felt such horrible discomfort in my entire life. After I finished throwing up, I stood up from the toilet to wash my hands and saw the popular guy Jason standing right in front of me. I felt even more discomfort and on top of that, uneasiness. "Hi, Jason. Why are you here?" I asked him nervously. "Hey Y/N. Looks like you finally came to a party. I was really surprised at the sight of you here," he told me as he smiled in a way that made him look like he was up to no good. "Yeah, I'm surprised I even came here," I answered him, almost studdering. "I was thinking, maybe we can hang out a bit?" he said as he put his arm around my hips making me shake a bit. "Look, Jason, there is no problem in us hanging out but I really need some privacy right now, I don't even know how you got in here but can you please wait until I'm done with vomiting up my insides?" I asked him nicely but he pulled me in toward him, holding onto me even tighter. "Oh but I want to hang out right now. Right here. Plus, the door was open. I only wanted to handle my business but I saw you in here, so vulnerable. Almost looks like you could let anything happen to you and not feel worried." he said as his hand started to travel even lower. "Can you leave me alone, please? I don't feel comfortable," I said, making him laugh. "Aww, you don't feel uncomfortable? Who cares?" he shut the door behind him, locking it. I started crying uncontrollably of the feeling of intimidation, wondering what was about to happen to me. I stepped back from him. "Jason, please don't do this. I'm a human being too. Plus, you have a girlfriend! Think about how she would feel if she found out what you and I did!" he turned around, looking angrier. "Chrissy broke up with me. Don't you ever talk about that again. I'll make her pay one day." he got closer with every word, making me cry even harder. "No, Jason. Get away from me. Or else-" "Or else what? Will you scream for help? Do you think that anyone could hear your screams mid-partying out of their minds? The only people close to sober are me and you." he said, causing my heart to sink. He pulled me in for a kiss aggressively, causing my cold tears to touch his cheeks. I couldn't believe something like this was happening to me. I can only try to save myself, or get into even bigger trouble. I pushed Jason with all my strength, into the bathtub, causing him to get hurt. I wasted no time, unlocking the door and running out even though I was still drunk, causing me to trip in between steps. I made it out of the hellish place, not even worrying about Nancy and into my car, immediately locking it and driving away right before Jason reached my car. I almost went into a breakdown, driving and crying. I tried hard not to get into an accident, making it home safely. I got out of my car and ran into my trailer and locked the door behind me, crying and having a hard time catching breaths. 

EDDIE POV

I was laying in my bed, about to sleep but a bit worried if Y/N was okay. Then a car pulled up, causing me to get up and check it out. She immediately left the car in a hurry and ran to my door, opened it quickly, and shut it, locking it. She was crying with makeup all over her face, struggling to breathe. I ran to her. "Y/N??? Are you okay? What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked her quickly. She looked at me, eyes filled with tears. I could see she is struggling a lot to form words, not even that but struggling to breathe. "Hey hey hey, it's okay, don't cry. Whatever happened to you back there, you are safe now. Shit, I knew I shouldn't have left you there. It's okay." I held onto her shoulders, making her flinch. I was worried to death. "I-I, J-Jason" is all I heard. She kept trying to breathe in between words so I pulled her into a hug, feeling her shaken body. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to talk. Just calm down first, take deep breaths, and don't cry, it's okay. I got you." I said as I rubbed her back up and down, lightly so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. A bit later, I felt her breathing come back to normal. I broke the hug and asked her again. "Tell me, what happened? Why are you crying? What did Jason do to you?" then saw her look at me confused. "Wait, Munson? w-why are you here?" she asked me, dragging her body away from me. "Y/N, I'm not gonna hurt you. I know Jason did something to you and I need you to tell me what happened. You ran into my trailer and locked the door behind you. I'm guessing you went into my trailer by accident?" I said as her tenseness lessened. "I guess I did. I don't feel so good. Can I have some water, please?" she asked me. "Of course, but promise me you'll tell me what happened," I said to her, making her eyes tear up and frown. "Please, I don't wanna talk about it," she said, making my heart break at the sight of her like this. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left.

I poured her a glass of cold water and helped her sit down on the couch, wrapping her up in a blanket. She stank of alcohol and seemed like she was still pretty drunk as well. After she chugged the cold water, she rested her head on my shoulder and started crying. "I'm sorry for talking to you like you were a creep. I should've known that you were such a sweet guy after all. Jason was the real creep." she said to me, making me feel so bad. I hesitated on whether I should put my hand on her head or not but decided that it might help reassure her so I did. 

Y/N POV

My mind was still very out of it. I felt like crap still. I couldn't keep a word to myself so I told him everything. Every single thing I did at the party and what happened and even the tragic little story of my life. I regret going to the party. So. Much. 

I kept on talking about whatever comes to mind, not even aware of what until I slowly drifted off to sleep. 

I then woke up, feeling like I have a knife in my head and stomach. I looked around and saw an unfamiliar place, making me uneasy. Am I still at the party? I instantly got up and looked around. I saw a guy in a white shirt and jeans. I couldn't really make out who it was, my vision kept going in and out until I suddenly had the urge to throw up. I ran around the place, searching for the bathroom, opening and closing every door until I found it. I threw up a lot and then sat there on the bathroom floor after flushing the toilet. I could finally see like a normal person again. I didn't feel like knives were in my head and stomach as much anymore, but still a little. I saw my neighbor, Eddie Munson standing by the door looking at me worried. I'm confused, why is he here? Am I at my neighbor's trailer? Oh right, I ran into his by accident and broke down in front of him. Embarrassing much huh. "Hey, are you good? Do you need some water? I made eggs if you want to eat." he said. After a bit of thinking, "Yeah, sure." is all I said. He helped me up off the ground and into the kitchen table. After sitting down had I just noticed, I'm wearing a white t-shirt and shorts that aren't mine? "What am I wearing? Did you change my clothes?" I asked him worriedly. "No, actually you did it yourself," he said, making me confused. "I don't remember changing into these?" I said to him. "Oh Y/N Y/N, you think you would remember after drinking so much?" he asked me smiling. "I remember everything. Except for the changing part?" I told him which made him laugh. "Trust me Y/N, you did it yourself after waking up in the middle of the night telling me how itchy you were in that dress so I gave you some of my clothes. Also, you remember everything from yesterday?" he asked me. I then got hit with all that happened yesterday, making me think. "Yes, even the part where I got sexually assaulted by Jason," I told him, making his smile fade away. "It's okay. Things like this happen to some of us. You can't expect a perfect life you know?" I shrugged and started eating. "You didn't deserve it. I'm sorry I left you there. It's all my fault." he said making me feel guilty. "No, it's not your fault. I made you leave and plus, even if you were there, you don't need to help. I'll only owe you more." I smiled, reassuring him. 

After we finished eating, I sat at the table waiting for him to finish washing the dishes and after he did, I remembered how caring and reassuring he was to me yesterday. Without him, I couldn't have snapped out of the breakdown. "Thank you, so much for helping me yesterday. I don't know what I would've done without you. I'm kinda happy that I ran into the wrong home." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "It's okay. Now I know more about you, thanks to your emotions," he said. I then realized that I even said all of the little details about me and my life. "Wait, did I-" I asked him when I got cut off. "You did. You told me everything. Not just the party, and it's okay. Thank YOU for trusting me." he smiled at me. I guess this guy is just a really good soul.

After that day, we started hanging out and talking more often. He would help me a lot with any issues I had, and I helped him wherever I could as well. We became better friends and mom made me take a few months off of school after I told her to get me to overcome the fear of Jason. My mom very much knows about Eddie and thanks him to this day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N POV

I'm Y/N Y/L/N. I live in a college students' dorm apartment. It's not quite the place to stay comfortably but I make it work. I'm a fellow student studying the art of music. I love listening to music at high volumes. It hits a particular part of my brain that nothing else can.

It was a day before the finals come by, which means everybody is now probably studying real hard. Not gonna lie, I am studying my ass off as well. I felt no guilt in playing music at this time because I need music to focus.

A little bit past 1:30 am, someone knocked on the door. Who the hell is coming here at such a time? I troubled myself and got the door. I saw a young guy with long curly brown hair. He was kinda handsome, looks like he's our neighbor. "Hey, sorry to bother but uh, I'm studying right now and I can't focus. Can't you turn your music down a bit? Jesus, it's 1 am." he said. "A little bit though, I need music to focus," I explained to him. "I don't care. Just turn your music down. Other people live here you know." he said to me. "Yeah, I know. Thanks for bringing up such a good point." I said and shut my door. Jeez. He didn't have to be so rude about it. Pretty boys are always so mean. 

EDDIE POV

I returned to my dorm and sighed in disappointment. I swore to myself that I wouldn't lose my temper but I did it. She was such a nice girl though, now she probably hates me. Well, I have to study and I  can hear the music lower.

I have been studying for hours and it is now 4 am. If I really listen, I can still hear the music playing. She must be studying hard. But her taste in music is not so bad after all. I gotta ask what this song is. She must be awake, right?

I got up and went to her front door again. I was a bit hesitant but still knocked anyway. I heard footsteps approach and the door unlocked harshly. "Listen, if you really can't stand it, cover your ears. I'm not dealing with this at 4 am," she said and immediately shut the door before I could say anything. That wasn't what I was going to speak to her about. Well, I could ask her some other day.

Y/N POV

Finals were approaching and I went to school to take them. Outside the exam hall, I can see that neighbor guy standing right next to me but he just doesn't realize it. Whatever, it's not like I'm expecting a conversation from him. So... he was a major in music after all. 

We then walked inside the exam hall, I was nervous. Not really because of the exam, but because I was assigned to sit next to that guy. Not exactly close but still next to him. "Hey, sorry if I left a bad impression earlier. I was just tired of studying," he said to me. I looked at him. "Okay," I said and before the conversation could continue further, the teacher announced the rules and almost started the exam. "Good luck," I said to him. He smiled at me. "Good luck to you too," he said, and then we started to give our exams.

The exam was over and we started to leave the halls. I always stay behind so the huge line doesn't push me around like a puppet. I packed up my things slowly, waiting for the line to end. I saw the neighbor guy sitting next to me, sleeping? "Hey wake up, exams are over," I said whilst lightly shaking his shoulder. He woke up and looked at me. "What are you doing here? The class is empty," he said. "I usually stay behind so I don't get stuck in the huge line at the door," I explained to him. "Smart. Anyway, do you wanna hang out? Exams are over." he said to me whilst smiling. Who is he kidding? We don't even know each other. "You want to hang out with a stranger you just met?" I asked him. He lightly laughed at my words. "You're not a stranger. You're my noisy neighbor," he said. I smiled at him. "Sure. Let's hang out, why not?" I replied. "Hey kids, get out of the exam hall." the teacher said to us. We quickly got up and left the hall. He was walking a bit in front of me so I just kept following him. "So uh, where are we going?" I asked him. "Home, do you want to hang out at mine?" he asked me. "Okay, sure," I said. 

We arrived at the dorm and I waited or him to unlock his door, I'm leaning against mine. He unlocked the door and we went inside. His dorm was really messy, but still in a way pretty sick. I can see he is a metal fan from all the posters and the cassettes he had. "Hey, do you wanna watch a movie and eat stuff, I have a lot of snacks and drinks. Pick the ones you like," he said, opening a cabinet full, like literally full of snacks and drinks. "Goodness, you eat this much?" I asked him with confusion on my face. "Well, sometimes. I love having a place full of things to eat. Especially at midnight when I'm studying." he smiled. "This is literally the best thing I've ever seen. can we cook spicy noodles and watch a movie or play cards?" I asked, excitedly. "Sure darling, we can do all of those," he said smiling. My excitement turned into shock. Did he call me darling? "Oh, sorry if it seemed a little weird or creepy. I call my friends darling sometimes," he said. I laughed hysterically at how he called me a friend when we don't even know each other's names. "How are we friends when we know literally nothing about each other?" I asked him. He laughed as well. "Oh right, I'm Eddie Munson." he laughed. "I'm Y/N Y/LN," I said. "Anyway, know that we know each other, pick your noodles. I have a few types here," he asked me. "Wow, you're so stocked with food you will be the only one who would survive if an apocalypse hit. I'll choose this one." "Nice. Those are my favorites too. I'll cook them up." he said. "Hey, since you're offering the supplies, I'll cook them." I offered. He nodded and gave me the noodles, showing me where everything is. As I cooked the noodles, I could hear him gathering things around his house, I guess he is thinking of all the activities we could do together. He's not so feisty after all. 

I finished cooking it up and just as I did, he finished setting things up. I set the noodles in the cups and poured us some juice. I brought the food to the table in front of the TV, and some snacks to eat on the side. "Sit down, let's eat. What are we watching?" I asked. "Beetlejuice seems like a cool movie," he said. He sat down and slurped the noodles. "Wait, why are these so good? I eat them all the time but they taste so much better now. What did you put in it?" "I didn't put anything in it, I just cooked it with less water." I laughed. "Ah, I see. You are a better cook than I am." we ate the noodles and continued watching the movie. 

After the movie, I put away the dishes and we played cards. We played 5 rounds and I won thrice, he won twice. He lost so he's gonna clean up his apartment after we trash it up. "Alright, that was fun. What else do you wanna do?" I asked him. "Hey, do you play Dungeons and Dragons?" he asked me. "No, I've heard about it but I've never played it before. Do you play?" I asked him. "Yes, I play. Do you want me to teach you? We can play any time after you learn. It's really fun." he said. "Sure," I said to him. He then got up and brought his game. He taught me how to play for about 2 hours and then I practically learned it, a bit though. On our first game, he was teaching me how to play and gave me tips throughout the game. 

We played for a long time. I looked at the time and it was 10 pm. "Jesus Eddie, how long have we been playing for? It's so late! No wonder I was becoming a bit sleepy." "Y/N you live next door.." he said. "Oh yeah, right. Still, should we sleep?" "We have the whole weekend to ourselves though," he said disappointedly. "I'm sorry Eddie but I can't ruin my sleep schedule. I already studied for a whole night and I can't stay up late again." I replied to him explaining. "Fine. Do you wanna sleep at mine?" "Yeah sure, I wanted to try sleeping at your apartment anyway." We smiled at each other and Eddie gave me a blanket and a pillow, putting me to bed and after that, he goes to the sofa to sleep. We had a fun day together.

The Truth?

sweetheart!eddie x f!reader (y/n)

context: this is an AU where you can't lie to your soulmate which honestly you don't believe that crap but oh surprise!!

word count: 4.3k

warnings: a bit of swearing, not much to warn you about except for how poorly it is written since it's my first time lol. It's also not very proofread I just wanted to get this out of my drafts quickly, yeah.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N POV

It is a world where it is impossible to lie to your soulmate and I think it is very lame. Who cares about soulmates? Those things only exist In movies and books, and it's not like any of those are real. Whenever my friends come running to me to tell me they found their soulmate, I never believe them because they are all full of shit. Anyway, before I even get started with the whole soulmate thing, I was always a certified liar from the beginning. Whenever I get in trouble or whenever I feel like it, I lie. It's somehow fun watching the other person believe it and just generate a random storyline in their heads according to my lies. I don't do it because I'm desperate in looking for my soulmate, I only lie because it is fun for my eyes and ears to keep manipulating people. 

NARRATOR POV

Y/N Y/L/N had just moved to Hawkins a few weeks ago, a town where people say it is cursed. To our surprise, of course she doesn't believe it and neither does her family. She is still new to town so she does not know many places around here, except for the school and back home. Only a few weeks and basically the whole school knows her already. She has got many friends that are both popular and unpopular. However, she only has a few close friends that actually know how good at manipulating people she is. 

Prom was approaching this week, everybody is so on edge about choosing and asking out their partners while some are already dealt with. Y/N already has someone in mind that she is going to ask out but just decided to wait for the very last moment and until then, she will be waiting to turn down offers she dislikes.

Y/N POV

It is now lunchtime and I want to eat some food.. like really badly. As I walked to the cafeteria I saw the creepy kid Mason walk up to me. Oh god, not to judge but he is just you know, like really creepy. He was caught stalking and staring at people many times already. What if he asks me to go to prom with him? Over my dead body will I ever.

"Hey Y/N, not to be weird or anything but, I was wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?" he said as people lightly gasped and turned their heads to us. Just as I was thinking about. No. Way. I'll just tell him I have a date already... 

"I'm sorry Mason, I kinda already have a date... so uh, yeah." I lied to him. I heard the others look away and laugh as Mason nods and walks away. I took my lunch tray and sat down where my friends were sitting. I totally told them EVERYTHING that had just happened, with my own thoughts. 

"Hey Y/N, I heard that Eddie the freak Munson is going to ask you out for prom!" my friend said to me. I mean, I kinda like the guy because he is not like anyone thinks he would be but... I don't have a liking for him romantically. I've only spoken with him about 3 or 4 times and plus I don't even know the guy that well. "Really? Why would he? Although I do already have someone in mind that I'm going to ask out so, I really can't go with him. If this person in my mind hadn't existed, I would definitely go with him." I explained to them, making their jaws drop in shock. I mean what are they even shocked about? They don't even know the guy, yet they think he's such a freak when he's only a free-spirited person. "You really would've gone to prom with that freak? Almost everyone in this school despises him except for the other freaks he hangs out with. Nobody will like you anymore if you go out with him Y/N." they said, making me somewhat a bit mad. Who cares if they don't like me anymore? It's not like reputation matters anyway. "Listen, I don't care if my reputation gets kicked to the ground nor about Eddie asking me out. I'll just.. say that I'm busy or something, just like I said to Mason. God, he really gives me the creeps. Anyway, my point is, that I already have someone in mind that I will ask out but I'm planning on waiting until the end of the week so even if I get rejected, I have the whole weekend to sort things out. I most likely won't be showing up to prom if he really does reject me." I said to them quietly. They all started to laugh at me and soon, Eddie Munson caused a fuss with Jason again, turning everyone's attention to them. I really do wonder who I have a crush on. Steve Harrington, whom I am planning on asking out and I do kinda have a crush on him. Or the little freak Eddie that I still stand up for, he's a total crackhead but I feel like I kinda like him too but I always deny it. Maybe if I really listened to myself, I'd figure it out? But there's no time for that anyway.

Lunchtime ended and everyone went back to their classes. I just could not stop staring at Steve who was sitting in front to the side. I feel like people noticed but just let it slide because it's not really much of a big deal to be creating a fuss about. Classes ended really fast because I was just paying attention to my crush. I suddenly started feeling this massive amount of energy and confidence which just makes me want to go straight up to him and ask him. But every time I did feel that way, I only ever let it go and tried to focus on something else, and then I decided to go home or else I might just mess things up for myself. Just as I was about to leave, someone called my name and ran up to me from behind. I could recognize that voice from miles away. Oh god, how do I reject such a sweetheart? I turned around to look at him standing right in front of me, holding a handful of my favorite flowers and smiling, which I just could not help but smile as well.

"Uh Y/N, I wanted to ask you something quickly before you go home," he said, he looks to be very nervous which kinda made me feel bad for him that I had to reject him. "I was wondering if you, my pretty lady wanted to go to prom with me?" he said with hesitant eyes giving me the flowers. I took the flowers and clenched onto them. What do I do? I don't know how to handle this because it is.. him. Okay, just like I thought before, just tell him you already have a date.

"I'm sorry Eddie, I don't have a date and I would love to go out with you, but I already have someone in mind that I was going to as-" I blurted out fast and I stopped my talking by slamming my mouth shut with my hands. That was not supposed to come out like that! What is wrong with me??? "Oh, uhm sorry for asking," he said, he looked so heartbroken. Poor guy, now I upset someone that meant a lot to me!! "Hey, listen. I don't know what got the best of me there but, if the person I ask doesn't want to go with me, will you?" I said, only seconds after in the awkward silence had I noticed how selfish and bratty I sounded. "You know what, never mind. That was selfish of me. Sorry." I said, and as I did, he looked at me smiling. I was confused at how he didn't feel like shit after what I just said and what was he even smiling at? "Did you just tell me the truth when you weren't supposed to?" he said as he laughed and it almost seemed like he was making fun of me. I didn't think Eddie Munson believed that crap. "You actually believe that? It's just make-believe." as I said that Eddie stopped laughing and gave me a soft smile. "Oh Y/N, don't you wonder why you unwillingly said something you weren't supposed to? Doesn't it feel quite strange for it all to be just... make-believe?" he asked me. He was right. It did feel way too strange, it was almost like someone else was in control. Still, how could any of that be real? "Listen, Y/N. I will be here and on hold for you. Don't apologize, it's okay." he said, and gave me a warm smile before he walked away. I was shook at how he replied to me. Is there something I don't know about? 

I left school and arrived home, placing the flowers inside a glass vase with water, still very much thinking about what had taken over me at that time. I'm almost scared to speak to him now. How is the thing I do best, now restricted and most importantly, UNWILLINGLY? I kept thinking about if I should even ask Steve anymore since I feel like I should just go to Eddie. But that was my whole plan in the first place, right? How can I just cancel that after announcing it to everyone? I couldn't sleep at the thought of making such a hard decision and the end of the week was coming by, fast. 

The anxiety only grew worse as time went on and I didn't talk to either of them these days. And in the snap of a finger, boom. It is now Friday. I feel really anxious, like more than I have before. It's lunchtime now and the anxiety just almost instantly restricts me from eating my food. I wish this was over quickly. I hate days like this.

EDDIE POV

As I told a joke, our whole table laughed and as I did as well, I took a quick glance at Y/N who was sitting with her friends which seems like she was avoiding them, or just not in the mood right now. Her face seems pale and worried. Shit, should I have not asked her to prom? But I'm sure I made the right decision. She is definitely the one but she's just not ready to accept that yet. The time will come through. Maybe I should talk to her after school? I wonder if she asked that special someone out yet. What if I mess things up even more? I guess I at least have to try. As I thought of those things, I came back to my senses with Dustin swinging his hands in front of my eyes which I flinched from suddenly. 

"Are you okay? I see you are staring at Y/N but that's a little too much. You'll blow a hole through your sweetheart!" Dustin said as he laughed with the group but I didn't. Did I stare too hard? Oh shit, what if she noticed and thinks I'm a freak now? "Did she notice?" I asked him, worried for life. "Almost, that's why I covered you up so she doesn't think you're a creep," he said which I sighed, showing my relief. "Did you ask her?" Mike asked me. "Yeah, but I'm on hold. For now." I replied making them turn weird faces my way. "On hold?? Oh, you can't be kidding me." Dustin said which made me confused. What did he mean by that? "What does that supposed to mean?" I asked which he gave me the 'are you serious?' look to. "It means 2 things, Eddie. Either she likes both you and that other person she is waiting for and then is on the bench about who to pick or she is just using you to get over her emotions after getting rejected by another guy!" he stated, which totally made sense. "I mean, yeah I know that. But I don't think that last option is true." I said to him which he gave me a confused look. "Why not and how do you know?" he asked me and I gave him a smile and he looks at me like he immediately read my mind. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Y/N Y/L/N IS YOUR SOULMATE???" he asked me almost shouting at everyone. "I'm sure she is, she has to be. The day I asked her, she gave me the raw truth of what she was actually going to say and she was aware of it too." I told him and the whole group smiled at me in a congratulative way. 

Y/N POV

I've decided. There's a fine chance that Steve may accept me but he's quite popular at school so he might already have a date. Or he just wouldn't want to go out with me. Anyway, Eddie will definitely accept me. However I decide, I feel more comfortable going out with Eddie since we were already friends and not too close but he makes people feel comfortable seconds into our first discussion. After I decided to choose Eddie, I felt this sort of strong liking toward him, almost unstoppable. I feel like my feelings for him grew, and they quite possibly have already overgrown the feelings I had for Steve. My decision is right. I just know it. So I went to ask him and he was also walking toward me, nervously. 

"Hey Y/N, I need to talk to you," he said. "Yeah, I need to talk to you too," I answered. So we went to a comfortable place to sit down, a resting bench on the playground right outside the school. 

"So, how did the offer to your other guy go?" he said, almost sounding jealous which made me laugh a little on the inside. "I didn't ask him." he looked at me confused. "I'm not going to ask him anymore," I said which made him more confused. "Why not? Are you afraid of getting rejected? C'mon, don't be!" he said which made me smile. He was so supportive even if he was involved in it. "No, it's just that I don't want to go to prom with him anymore. I thought a lot about it these days, trust me. I finally figured out the best and only option. I want to go to prom with you, Eddie Munson." I said and he smiled at me with excitement. I had never seen his face light up like this before, he was so happy! "I knew it. Do you finally believe the make-believe you were talking about?" he said. "No, it's just that I feel more comfortable going out with you and you were the best and only most rightful choice.. for me at least." after I said that, he hugged me and I hugged back. "Thanks for choosing me over king Steve, it means a lot to me," he said smiling which made me smile as well. "Well, it's getting late so, I guess I'll see you at prom," I said to him and he nodded. "See you tomorrow, beautiful, I'll pick you up at 6," he replied and we both headed our separate ways. 

I arrived home and immediately went to my room to vent out my excitement.  I immediately call my mom to go prom dress shopping. We went to the new mall that opened up and after 3 hours of looking everywhere and trying on dresses, I found the perfect one. It was exactly what I had dreamed of when I thought of going to prom. We checked out and took the dress home. I was so happy that I tried it on again and kept staring at myself in the mirror, imagining what it would be like with Eddie. Then, I went to sleep thinking about how great tomorrow is going to be.

Saturday finally came, allowing me to have the whole morning and afternoon to myself to prepare for the prom tonight. No words could describe how excited I was. It was my first time going to prom because my previous school didn't have things such as prom. 

My mom helped to take care of me and get ready for the prom. The time was going fast and now it was already 6 pm. I wore my dress and got ready to leave and heard our doorbell ring. I can't believe it is finally time to go. My mom answered the door before I could make it downstairs and spoke to him for a bit, I couldn't make out what they were saying though.

EDDIE POV

I rang her doorbell, expecting her to answer but someone else who seemed to be her mother answered instead. "Good evening Mrs. Y/L/N, Is Y/N here? I'm her prom date, Eddie Munson. Nice to meet you." I shook hands with her. "Nice to meet you too, Eddie. She will be down in just a second," she said smiling at me. Not much later, I saw her walk down the steps of her staircase. She looked so beautiful, her charm was almost lighting up the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She then took her purse and hugged her mom goodbye. I took her hand and let her leave first. "M'lady," I said as I saw her smile and walk out the door. I led her to my van and opened the door for her, got in, and drove off to our prom. 

We arrived and got out of the van fast enough to open the door for her and hold her hand as she got down. Girls like gentlemen right? 

Y/N POV

We got to the gym where the prom was happening and entered. There were so many students with their partners, dancing and eating. As we walked in, my friends ran up to me. "Hey Y/N, so how did the ask-out go with you and Steve?" they said, which made me a little guilty to say that my date is now Eddie. "I didn't ask him. Plus how do you even know I was going to ask out Steve?" I asked. "We just know. Anyway, who's your date then?" they asked, each one holding a red plastic cup of something purple. "I am," Eddie said as he stepped forward and placed his arm on my shoulder. "You have to be kidding me Y/N. We told you not to come here with this freak! Now you are screwed." they said and I got really angry about that. "You know what? Who cares? If you are that scared of me losing my reputation which you are just clearly sticking to me for popularity, then don't be friends with me. I never asked to be popular anyway." I told them off, causing them to give me a nasty look and walk away. Eddie laughed at me. "What? I'm just standing up for your ass." I said and he turned to me. "Yeah, I know. You are adorable. Thanks for doing that, Y/L/N." he said, making me blush a little. Then we decided to sit down somewhere and talk.

We sat down at the benches around the ring and just talked. It went like this. "Why did you decide to go to prom with me, a freak?" he said. "You're not a freak Munson. At least not for me. You are just a free-spirited guy. Unlike those boring ordinary people who exclude you from them." I replied. "I see. Thanks. It just occurred to me. You were planning on asking out Steve? You know he totally would've accepted you, right?" he said. "Yeah well, I was planning on asking him but I just decided to go for you. Plus he already has a date. He's popular." I replied. "You are too. Still, you could've asked everyone except for me," he replied. "Stop being so insecure, Munson. Also, aren't you the one who asked me out?" I replied laughing. "Yes but, why me? I'm used to being a total reject so it's kinda new for me to... not be a reject I guess," he said which broke my heart. Why would he think that? He's such an amazing guy. "Let's just say, you're not boring. You're fun to be around and you're unique. You just give off an amazing comfy vibe that nobody else does. It's not possible for words to describe how much of an awesome guy you are. So don't think bad things about yourself. It's not nice okay?" I said. "Okay." is all I heard from him before he stood up and offered me a hand. "May I invite you to dance, pretty lady?" he asked whilst grinning. His smile always makes my heart melt. "You don't have to ask, gentleman," I say and take his hand to the ring. Just as we walked, slow dancing music played at the exact time. Everyone got up to dance as well. He placed one hand on my hips and one for me to hold. I also placed a hand on his shoulder. As we started to move according to the rhythm, people looked at us, some disgusted and some shocked. I didn't care though, but I can see Eddie's face. He looks worried for me. "Don't worry. Just focus on the dance, the moment. Not the stares. I don't care and you shouldn't too." I said, reassuring him, and saw his face relax a bit more. 

A little bit into the dance, Jason and his fellow friends walked up to us. Please not now dickheads. "Oh lookie here, the freak has a partner. And it is Y/N Y/L/N. You forced her into this, didn't you? Tell us Y/N, tell him." he said to me, expecting something from me. "No Jason, he didn't force me," I said and his eyes widened. "Bullshit. How would this coward have a partner?" Jason said and Eddie finally stepped up. "Hey Jason, I'm sorry if you don't have a date but, this one's mine. Go find another girl who's interested in your jackshit," he said whilst smiling. He is literally gonna get beaten if he continues this, but it's nice to see him stand up for himself. "Oh, I see. Y/N is now one of the freaks huh? I heard a new girl transferred here and only thought she would be a cute girl who likes to make friends and strive toward popularity like everyone else but I must've been mistaken. She was just another slut who doesn't know what she was doi-" I cut off his sentence with a hard hard slap across his face. He deserved it.  I grabbed Eddie's hand and walked out with him without looking back at Jason. I can hear him cursing me off, but nobody gives a damn about what the basic white boy has to say. We left the gym and walked outside, to a bench a bit away from the gym. Finally, some peace and quiet. We sat like this for a bit and then Eddie took the lead. "What you did back there was, so badass. I think I'm your fan now," he said, making me laugh at him. "What? Can I not? I mean how can I not? You are literally a certified badass." he said, making me remember one thing. "As much as you think I'm such a great girl, I still have my downsides. They are probably the biggest red flags you can find in anyone," I said which got him interested. "What would that be?" he said. I looked at him seriously. "I'm still a liar. I lie a lot, to everyone. My hobby is basically manipulating people and I see it as a fun thing. I know I'm... fucked up but that's just what I was from the very start." I replied. Seconds later, he smiled and held my hands in his warm hands. "I don't care, Y/N. No matter how good you are at manipulating or lying to people, you can't lie to me and that's all I care about. Even if you don't believe it, just try it. You can't. It's impossible. It's real, Y/N. We are soulmates who were meant to be. Even if you can't accept it, I'll understand. I'm going to be by your side forever no matter what." he said to me. He didn't lie...? How crazy is that? Does he have feelings for me? "Do you... by any chance, like me?" I asked, looking at him more seriously than ever. "I do. No matter how much I'll ever try to hide it from you, I can't. Secrets will eventually find their way out." as he said it, something just touched my heart. I feel it, stronger than ever. Butterflies in my stomach and everything. Since he said it, there's no shame for me to say it as well. "I like you too. No, I love you. After everything that happened, my feelings grew uncontrollably. It was really hard to keep it in all this time but I'm happy it found its way out, to the right person." I said as I smiled, and he smiled too. "I love you too. All this time, I've always had a bit of a crush on you but it grew so much this week," he replied. "I have to say the same," I replied. We both smiled at each other as he reached for my cheek with his hand, cupping my face and pulling me into a soft and lovely kiss. Who knew a ruined prom day would spark and turn into a new love story?
