Something About Him ♠️

Chapter Five - I'm here. We're here.

I ran out the house quickly. I couldn't think, my tears were blurring my vision and running down my face. I was just running without thinking about where I was going. Was that Vecna? Spell Caster? Dark wizard? Probably. But I just can't think right now, I'm probably gonna die and I'm just sobbing my heart out.

When I was running I ran into somebody, I stumbled and stopped, I hurriedly rubbed my tears away, but as I was doing so, I felt the biggest embrace ever, somebody's arms wrapped around me and they buried their head into my neck, I stood there for a moment confused and nervous, "Y/N calm down, are you okay?" A soft calming voice asked, I instantly knew who it was. It was Gareth, he was still walking home cause he barely dropped me off at my house. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and buried my head into his neck, I felt him lift his head up a little bit so I'm more comfortable, we stayed there for a minute until I finally stopped crying. I lifted my head off him and held onto him still, he did the same. He stared at me, "What happened?" He asked calmly.

It turns out that Gareth does have a car, he just enjoys the walks and so do I, so I didn't mind when he told me.

We were driving to the Wheelers house, cause we heard that's where the whole group is staying at. We drove up and got out the car and walked up to the door, Gareth knocked and I stood behind him, a man opened the door, I assume he's Mr. Wheeler. Gareth looked at him, "Hi— is Dustin here?" Gareth asked, Mr. Wheeler looked at us and sighed, "Oh look, more children." He said sarcastically, Gareth gave him a stern look, we heard somebody running up from behind him, Mr. Wheeler walked away and Dustin ran up to the door. "Gareth?".

We were sitting in the basement on the couches, Gareth was sitting on my left. "And, it kept saying, that I can't hide." I was explaining to them what happened, "Did he say anything else..?" Nancy asked, I looked up at her and thought about it. Thought about what he said that kept replaying in my head.

'He does not care about you, Y/N.', was all that I could think of, it hurt. I looked at Gareth for a moment, then back at Nancy and shook my head, "No" I lied in response. "Well first it got Max and now it got her" Steve nagged, everyone looked at Steve and gave him a 'really' look, "What? I'm not saying that's good" he continued, everyone just turned back to me. "Listen Y/N, when the time comes, we know what to do" Nancy reassured, I looked up at her and then I saw Dustin looking through some tapes, "What's your favorite song?" Dustin asked while picking up a tape and looking at me, I raised my eyebrow.

We were all kind of running outside to the cars, "Wait so—- music is gonna somehow save me from this fleshy person?" I asked while quickly following behinds, "Yes, if it saved Max, it'll save you" Dustin replied, "And we'll make sure of it. Right guys?" Gareth said to them sternly, "Yeah— make sure she has those headphones on most of the time" Steve replied while pointing at the headphones I was holding and jumping into the car at the same time, they all got into Steve's car, me and Gareth hurriedly got into his car and we all drove to Victor Creels house, they had explained everything to me and said it was to find Vecna or something, it was a pretty crazy story.

I was sitting in the front passenger seat in Gareth's car. It was silent for some time, until I finally started to speak. "Gareth" I turned to look at him, "Yeah?" he responded while keeping his eyes on the road, "Will you stay with me-- until this, curse or whatever- goes away?" I asked staring at him, he turned and looked at me then turned back to the road, "Yes--- yes. Of course I will." he responded quickly. I smiled and turned back to look out the car window. It's nice being with Gareth.. I wish I could tell him more though. I turned back to look at him, "So— what do you think about watching The Blues Brothers after all this shit—.. is over" I asked while smiling a little bit, he turned to look at me again, "Sure" he replied while smiling, he turned back to the road again, he took his right hand off the steering wheel and grabbed my left hand gently, I looked down at our hands and back up at him, "You'll be okay. I promise." he assured me while looking at me in the eyes, I quickly nodded and smiled, I gently rubbed his hand with my thumb and he smiled back, then he brought his hand back up to the wheel and turned back to the road, I turned to look out the window and grinned, 'Oh my god'.
