With your arm around Dustin, you ran with him towards an unmoving Eddie with the bats also unmoving surrounding him.
“Eddie!” you both shouted.
“Bad, huh?” Eddie said.
It really was bad.
“No. You’re gonna be fine, just gotta get you to a hospital ok?” Dustin reassured, frantically.
“Ed, you’re gonna be ok,” you cried.
You wanted to believe that. You really did, but deep down, you knew he wasn’t going to survive.
“I didn’t run away this time, right?”
“No, you didn’t run,” Dustin answered him.
“You didn’t,” you said, “but you should’ve. Baby, you should’ve.”
You felt your heart slowly breaking to pieces as you held onto Eddie’s hand, zoning out as he talked to Dustin. This was it.
“Say it,” Eddie said.
“I’m- I’m gonna look after them,” Dustin repeated, tearfully.
“G-good. And say you’re gonna look after her. Say you’re gonna look after Y/N,” he pleaded.
You wanted to protest. Dustin wanted too. You both wanted to say that it was his job and he was going to be here to take care of you. You wanted so bad to tell your boyfriend to shut the fuck up and he would be here to take care of you. But you knew, it was bullshit.
“I’m gonna look after her,” Dustin sobbed.
“I love you man. And I love you sweetheart, so much. You made me the luckiest man in Hawkins.”
“I love you too,” Dustin cried.
“I love you too Ed.” By now, you were sobbing.
“T-the polaroid pictures in my pocket, of you, of us, take them. Take them baby,” Ed pleaded. He sounded like he was on his last breath.
“No Ed. I want you to have something to look at when you wake up in the hospital,” you smiled tearfully, taking his hand and placing it on your cheek.
Dustin did the same and Eddie started choking and then; he had that lifeless look in his eyes. He stopped talking and moving. That was when your heart shattered completely.
“Eddie? Eddie. Come on! Eddie!” Dustin wailed.
You tried shaking him, pleading with him to stop the jokes. But it was no use. He was gone. The love of your life was gone.
You took the polaroid photos from his pocket, just like he wanted.
“Baby, see. I took them, I have the photos now. Please wake up, say something!” you sobbed.
You looked down at the photo at the front. The last photo you had together that was taken that night in his trailer. You were smiling while he kissed your cheek.
Dustin rested his head on your chest and you hugged him, still holding onto Eddie’s cold hands.
“You should’ve run. You should’ve run Eddie,” you wailed.

The way a lot of ppl get mad at Lucas for his season 4 activities like he literally wasn't bullied for being a black kid. A DARKSKIN AT THAT. like I understand where's he's coming from and nobody seemed to catch into the fact he only wanted to be popular cause he didn't wanna be bullied.
He even said "I want you guys to be popular too! So we can all live a good life" Like his intentions werent even poor he just wanted a better life.
And Mike is complete bullshit for telling Will "don't join another party" AND THEN JOINS ANOTHER PARTY IN SEASON 4 LIKE FUCK YOU. I dunno why Will made it seem like Mike was the heart when he's really not. WILL MADE THE GROUP. WILL HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE HEART
