GIVE EM' HELL - eddie munson [DISCONTINUED]

CHAPTER THREE - NEWS FLASH

Eddie's car turns into the grass harshly, Astoria is (once again) thrown like a ragdoll to the wall of the car, she shouts in protest. 

The car radio booms a loud rock song and Eddie slides the van door open. Astoria hops out, observing the house. I mean, it was a trailer, but other than that it wasn't that bad.

The boy nervously speaks to Chrissy, "This is, uh, my castle." Chrissy smiles and follows after him, she gives Eddie a suspicious look. 

He opens the door for them and they walk inside, Chrissy a little more confident than Astoria.

The door slams behind Eddie. "Sorry for the mess, the maid took the week off," He says sarcastically. Then walks down the hallway to what Astoria assumes in his room. 

Chrissy looks around, spinning in a circle to examine the trailer, "You, um... You live here alone?" The dark-haired girl scoffs quietly, she loved her best friend, but sometimes she could be a bit paranoid.

Especially when it came to things like this. Eddie replies, "With my uncle. But, uh, he works nights at the plant." He opens a container, "Bringing home the big bucks." Chrissy turns towards Eddie, "How long does it take?"

The boy looks up at Chrissy, "Sorry?"

She continues, "The Special K. How long to kick in?" 

Astoria reaches out and squeezes her friends hand, she was definitely doing this because of her visions (or whatever you could call them). The dark-haired girl didn't blame her; they sounded terrifying.

"Oh, uh, well, it depends if you snort it or not. Uh, if you do, then, uh, yeah. It'll, uh, kick in pretty quick," He says while rummaging through a draw. 

He probably just broke the word record of how many times you can say 'uh' in a sentence, Astoria thinks while chuckling. Chrissy looks at her friend for a second before asking Eddie a question again, "You're sure you have it?" 

"No, no, no, I got it. Um, somewhere."

He goes back to his room, Astoria sits down on the couch-chair. Because God knows this was going to take awhile. Chrissy hears a strum from Eddie's room and jumps in fright. Astoria notices this, "Chrissy, it's ok, it's just a guitar."

She nods quickly, then goes back to playing with her sleeves, slightly bouncing on her feet impatiently. 

The red-head turns towards the window as if she heard something. Astoria looks up to check on her, but assumes that's just her being paranoid again.

Astoria looks down, picking on her green and orange nail-polish. Eddie yells out, "Found it. Peaceful bliss, just moments away." When the girl hears Eddie's footsteps stop she looks up, following his eyes and realising he's looking at Chrissy with horror.

She gets up urgently, grabbing the red-heads shoulders and shaking her violently. "Chrissy? Wake up, please!" Eddie moves closer slowly, "What's going on?"
