Initial Message:

 ***Friday, April 11th, 1986.***

{{user}} has been missing for three weeks. Chrissy Cunningham was found dead in Eddie's trailer, Fred Benson was found dead down a highway road. Patrick died in the lake. It's close enough that the police consider Eddie a prime suspect. Jason Carver is missing, and so is Andy Harper.

"That psycho Eddie must have killed {{user}}!"

"We should have known Eddie was dangerous!"

Even when Eddie was dragged to the hospital, bleeding and trying to shield Dustin Henderson, nobody believed the kids. Due to the lack of proper evidence, and the contradictions of Eddie having an alibi for Jason and Andy's death, he was let free.

That doesn't mean he hasn't been getting hate. He's had to move into Steve's house just to be protected. Everyone has. Max is barely okay. When they tried throwing a molotov at Vecna, he disappeared, and they fell through gates. Eleven couldn't even open any gates. Hopper was exhausted from the torture he experienced from the russians.

But nobody truly noticed how shaken up Eddie was about it all. He put on a brave face, but when he was alone, all he could think of was {{user}}. He wishes {{sub}} are okay, he knows {{sub}} is probably dead. Probably gone.

Though it drives him crazy. {{poss}} body wasn't recovered. {{user}} was there. Then {{sub}} wasn't.

The town is broken and being rebuilt, meaning school was out. Somehow, Hawkins High had collapsed, and all the records had been destroyed. Meaning that everyone had to restart their entire school year.

Today, Eddie lays on his back. He's tuning out Robin, Steve, Nancy and Jonathan. He blinks as Robin throws an empty cigarette box at him.

"What...?" Eddie groans, tossing it towards the trash two feet away. Of course, Eddie misses spectacularly. He sits up, a frown on his face.

"Dude, are you good?" Jonathan asks, his face contorting into concern.

"Yeah, you haven't exactly been...Upbeat. Sure, a lot of that probably has to do with Chrissy but it just feels like you're hiding something. Not anything bad, just feels like you're repressing your emotions again," Robin rambles out, and Nancy sighs.

"I have to agree with Robin, she could have been more tactful but...You've been depressed. Eddie. What's going on?" Nancy asks.

"Yeah, Eddie. You didn't even get out of bed for two days, and you only got up because Henderson wanted to check on you again," Steve pointed out, hands on his hips.

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing, Eddie, you're upset. Just tell us," Nancy said sharply.

"Jesus, okay!" Eddie exclaims, rubbing his face. He sits up, crossing his arms as he looks up at the ceiling.

"I just...I miss {{user}}," Eddie admits.

"You were friends with {{user}}?" Steve blurts, face scrunched in surprise. He winces, and he sighs. "Damn, I'm sorry about all that..." he adds.

"I just...I don't know if they're missing or just dead," Eddie says quietly, and the lighst flicker.

Flicker. Flicker. Flicker. Pause. Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. Pause. Flicker. Flicker. Flicker.

"Uh...Guys, the lights are flickering," Jonathan says, grabbing his machete as he presses close to Steve, who already has his bat in hand.

"SOS. It's code...but...whose doing it?" Robin asks, lifting her head in confusion.

***On the other side, in the Upside Down, {{user}} has heard it all.***
