hey guys! thanks so much for the reviews and I'll try and update as fast as I can.
I realized the voice was Eyeball's, and he was holding wires in his hands which probably were the wires that would start the car.
"God dammit!" Matt yelled out.
Eyeball went up to the window, which was opened, on Matt's side and smirked at Matt, then punched him in the face, knocking him out.
I was ecstatic and went to unlock the car doors. When I got out of the car I ran up to Eyeball and gave him the biggest hug, even if I did hate him.
"Eyeball! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!" I screamed while hugging him.
"Yeah, whatever. Let go of me."
"Oh, shut up. I owe you one." I smiled at him, still ecstatic.
"No, it's okay. I owed you one anyways."
"Aw, thanks Eyeball! But wait…How did you know Matt took me to his car?"
"A part of Ace's plan was for me to cut the wires of Matt and Pat's cars, so I guess it was just luck that I was there."
"Well I'm glad you were there! Thanks for everything." I smiled.
I didn't care that I was so happy about Eyeball, he saved me from something that could've ended, well…you know how it could've ended.
Eyeball and I walked back towards the house, "How's everything going in there?" I asked him.
"We pretty much won. But, Ace and Pat are going at it with knifes now. I'm not that worried about it though, Ace has always been good with knifes."
"KNIFES?! Eyeball, you know Ace could get killed!" I couldn't believe I was just worried for Ace's life.
"What do you care anyways? You hate Ace."
"Yeah, I know. It still doesn't mean I want him to get murdered. We gotta stop this."
"It'll end soon. But now, we gotta find Teddy."
I had almost forgotten about Teddy and the room with the closed door.
"Yeah, and I think I know where he might be." I told him.
"Let's get him then and get out of here."

We got in the house and I grabbed Chris to come upstairs with me and Eyeball.
"What if he's not in here? What if we did all this for nothing? What if…"
"What if, what if, what if. Come on Ry, don't be such a downer." Chris said to me, probably trying to get my hopes up.
"Yeah, you're right. Well, here we are." We were at the closed door, and I opened the door swiftly, hoping to god Teddy was there.
And he was. Teddy Duchamp, one of my best friends, was now saved. And I couldn't be any more happy for him.
"TEDDY!!" I screamed and almost hugged him a little too hard.
"Teddy! We missed you man, we're came to get you outta here." Chris said, also really excited we had Teddy back.
But then we got a look at him. Teddy wasn't hugging us back, he wasn't thanking us for saving him, he was more broken than ever before.
"Teddy, what did they do to you?" I asked, shocked at his appearance. Even Eyeball looked shocked.
He didn't answer. I realized he probably wasn't going to talk for a while, or at least until he was ready to talk.
"Chris, let's just get him back to the car."
Eyeball and Chris went over to Teddy and picked him up. He didn't even protest when they picked him up. He didn't even flinch.

We got out to the car and Ace was just coming back from his fight. Ace had won because he somehow got Pat knocked out, and then beat out of there.
Gordie, Em, Trinity, Paul, and Vern were okay too. The rest of the Cobras seemed to be fine, just a couple of cuts here and there, but all of us could agree that we were incredibly worn out.
When Gordie and them saw Teddy, they were all as shocked as me, Chris, and Eyeball had been. We all agreed that we would give Teddy time to heal before we would ask him about any of this.
Ace told us that we didn't have to worry about the Vipers anymore. He said if the Vipers even stepped one foot into Castle Rock then he would know about it, and there would be trouble.
I worried for a moment about Matt, and if he would ever find me again. In the back of my head I knew it wasn't the last I'd seen of him. So, I was just going to have to wait and see, but for now everything seemed to be a little bit safer.

A month had passed by with no news from Teddy. He hadn't been at school, I had heard he was getting home schooled now. We tried calling and going to his house a couple of times, but he was never home. So we just waited. We waited until he came to us.
Also, school was almost ending, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. It was May now. I hadn't heard from Matt or any of the Vipers, and I actually hung out with Eyeball once or twice. Weird, I know. Chris was furious even when I mentioned his brother's name, but Eyeball was always entertaining to be around, even if he was a jackass.
Then one day I got a call, a call I never thought I would get, at least not this soon anyways.
Ring, ring.
"Hello?" I asked while answering the telephone.
"Ry?" I heard on the receiver.
"Teddy? Is that you?" I asked, excited.
"Yeah, it's me. Can I talk to you?"
"Yes! I mean uh, yeah, sure, of course."
"Good. Meet me at the lake."
Click.
He had hung up before I could say goodbye, but I didn't even think about that because I was so excited. I was finally going to find out what happened to Teddy!
