I'll Keep You Safe

Authors Note~ Trigger Warning mentions violence and swearing. Word count~1,225

With everything that's been going on in my life, I have been avoiding all of the people that care about me, which includes my boyfriend Eddie but I can't let him know what my parents have been doing to me. He can't because it will break him and that can't happen.

I was in my social studies when the lunch bell rang which I dreaded because Eddie and I had the same lunch so I knew that I had to face him. I shoved all of my stuff into my bag and started walking towards the cafeteria, I spotted Eddie in the hallway "shit" I thought to myself. To try and avoid him I started booking it in another direction but he was much faster than me and caught up to me grabbing my wrist with a concerning look on his face  "y/n what the fuck why have you been avoiding me". I yank my arm getting out of grasp and walk out of the school doors and into the nearby woods and sat down on the picnic bench.

About ten or so minutes I hear the crunching on the nature floor "y/n are you here", shit I knew that voice and that voice was Eddie's, but before I could get my stuff and escape he cornered me and said with tears in his eyes "please y/n I haven't heard from you in days I'm worried sick, please just tell me what's going on" he pleaded. Reluctant I sighed and grabbed his hand and started walking us towards the table. 

I held his hands looking at him with tears in my eyes I took a deep breath and started telling Eddie why I've been so shy lately and the poor thing didn't know the troubles that I've been through in the last few days. "My parents have always been like this Eddie but they never once laid a hand on me, then out of the blue they just started being violent to me, I...I.. didn't know what to do nor who to tell and my dad slapped me last night and punched me in the stomach, then my mom started calling me names like  bitch and slut, I just want the pain to go away"

I started to sob uncontrollably, Eddie got up and ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me tightly, "oh my god y/n I had no idea what you've been through". I could tell that he had been crying and it broke my heart I had never seen him like this in the short time that we've been dating. He put his finger under my chin and leaned in for a kiss, I kissed him back. 

After sitting in the woods which seemed like forever Eddie broke the silence by asking "hey y/n I know this seemed crazy and I know we've been dating for not that long but stay with me and feel safe and loved in a home environment". I smile and nod saying "that would be great Eddie". We walk hand in hand to his van and start driving over back to my house, my parents won't be home until much later. Once we arrive at my house I unlock my front door, Eddie following behind me looking for any signs of danger, we get to my bedroom and "take everything that you wanna take back to my place" Eddie says as he starts helping me pack, grabbing a duffle bag and a suitcase for all of my belongings.

After a couple of hours of packing my things into my luggage and tossing a few things into his van on its own like a couple of my favorite blankets. After putting all the stuff that I wanted to take with me and back to Eddie's place. Standing in what was my childhood bedroom now partly empty "y/n are you ready?" I hear Eddie shout from outside. "I'm coming" I shouted back. I step outside looking at what was once my home one last time. I greet Eddie who was waiting by the passenger side of his van, he walked up towards me and hugged me tightly as I start to cry "Hey it's okay you never have to worry you will never be treated that way again".

As I and Eddie start to drive back to his place I smile to myself thinking to myself how lucky I was for Eddie to come into my life at the right time and right place. I turn on the radio and my favorite song comes on which is Major Tom-Coming Home. Eddie smiles at me knowing how much that song means to me, he holds out his hand I kindly grab it as our favorite part of the song comes on.

The count goes on

Four, three, two, one 

Earth below us 

Drifting, falling

Floating, weightless 

Calling, calling home

We both scream the song lyrics at the top of our lungs as we get closer and closer to our destination. Eddie pulls off to the side of the road as we pull to the stop he turns off the radio and faces me and grabs both of my hands.

"Everything okay Eddie?" I ask him. He looks at me which such kindness in his eyes he takes a deep breathe "Y/n even though we've been dating for a short amount of time I just wanted to say that I love you and I'm sorry that you had to go through such hardships in life and I wasn't there sooner to whisk you away from any danger that was thrown at you, I love you more than anything else in the whole world". By now tears were streaming down both of our faces because this was the first time any of us had some I love you. I leaned in and kissed him he put a hand on my cheek and kissed me back. "I love you too Eddie, I'm glad you came into my life at the right time". We smiled at each other and Eddie broke the silence "Let's go home princess it's been a long night". He says as he turns on the radio as Major Tom's Coming Home was ending.

Coming Home

Earth below us

Drifting, falling

Floating weightless 

Coming, Coming 

Home 

Home

The lyrics to the song were right I was coming home to a place where I was going to be loved once we approached his uncle's trailer. He parked his van and helped me unload my stuff out of his van as we went inside hand and hand. "Welcome home princess," Eddie said with great excitement. I went to sit on the couch while Eddie put my things in our now shared bedroom, he returned a few minutes later with one of my blankets that I took with me and draped it around our shoulders as he joined me on the couch pulling me closer to him wrapping his arms around me. My eyes started to grow tired and got heavier by the minute before I knew it I was asleep in Eddie's embrace. 

Eddie looked over to see me passed out resting my head on his shoulders and smiled to himself thinking his princess is never going to experience pain or abuse ever again. He kissed my forehead whispering "I love you princess" before falling asleep himself.
