Read the first part of the series to make sense
He senses an instant feel of goosebumps form on his neck and then the front door rings. He’s confused to see that there are only three kids around him and the fourth one is making his way outside. Eddie checks his watch and finds it’s only 7 pm.
Way too early for Joyce to be done with her last-minute night shift. He was taking them all home anyway so it’s concerning when through the glass Will is standing in the middle of the parking lot and just..standing there. Looking at nothing but the smokey black sky.
Eddie walks out and runs to get in front of the boy crouching down to his level. His brown eyes are wide and Eddie has only witnessed his episodes so far in the past few months. Mike comes yelling and the rest of the Party comes outside, Robin is at the door keeping the door open while Keith complains and leaves his view.
Eddie holds his hands and squeezes them. Some type of grounding exercise that Jonathan taught him once.
“Hey bud, um hey what’s going on?” Eddie says in a careful voice, small and gentle.
Will blinks just a few seconds after and he looks around at Eddie with wide bright eyes, he breathes heavily.
Eddie tries to comfort him but Will shifts to the side, eyes trailing at the sounds around him. People in the parking lot are ready to come on or come out. Car engines running. People catching popcorn or gummy bears in their mouths.
"Hey." Eddie tries to count out numbers, "1, breath in..., breath out...," He continues and Will repeats. Squeezing Eddies hand to ground himself.
A couple breathes after their interrupted by multiple voices calling Will's attention.
“I’m fine,” Will assures him by letting go of Eddie's hands and nods but it looks like he’s putting up more of an effort to keep himself in check.
Eddie sighs and Mike comes closer to wrap his arm around his shoulders.
“He said he’s fine. Right your okay?” Mike says while Dustin and Lucas share a look. They are not completely convinced.
“Um, you're next on Dig Dug, we still have 2 hours before we have to leave.” They make their way back inside and Dustin stays near the entrance, Robin's cheeks are already red, the freezing wind and nervousness riling up. Filling up her half-empty belly.
“Was it another episode?” Dustin asks and Robin makes an uneasy face looking for help with Eddie who takes a deep breath.
“He’s gonna be fine,” Eddie says patting his head Dustin doesn’t chortle but he tries his best to smile.
That’s enough for now.
