Warning - Language, abuse, and ED
Chrissys pov -

I feel like I have been stuck in an endless loop my entire life. Wake up, do my morning routine, skip breakfast, go to school, meet up with a boy I honestly don't like, and be the so called popular girl. I'm popular because I'm on the cheer squad, dating the captain of the basketball team, and my parents have a lot of money. In this town, that defines popular. I know I get called the golden girl of Hawkins High, but in reality I just sit behind the cheerleaders, basketball players, and popular kids so I don't have to say anything.

Sometimes I wish to be doing something else. I wish my parents got along better, I wish i could stomach food without feeling disgusting, I wish the girls weren't so judging, and I just wish I didn't have to date this stupid boy. Of course I could break up with him, but if I did everyone would make fun of me. So I just stick to this endless loop of sadness and quiet. People most likely think I'm mean but I'm really not.

So, today is another start to another boring week. At least, I thought so. I got to school like any other normal day, went to my locker, went to all of my classes. It was until lunch, that things started to go down hill. I was walking towards my table when all of a sudden, Jason came up to me with a rude look on his face. I was confused normally he would walk over smiling.

"Hey Chrissy, I can't do this anymore. We need to uh.. break up. Sorry." He said.

"Oh uh okay." I said not really vazed. The only problem now is the cheer captain is going to kick me off the team.

"Yeah, Chrissy we are gonna need your-" The cheer captain started. "Yeah I got it." I said handing her my cheer jacket. "My uniform is in my now old gym locker so yeah bye." I said. Good thing I came to school in jeans and a white t shirt. The only problem now was that it's 58 degrees outside and I'm gonna be freezing later. I mean that does not really matter considering I just lost all of my friends.

I grabbed my lunch and decided to eat outside in the hallway. Then I saw the school freak walk out of the lunchroom, Eddie Munson. He didn't look over at me, just started walking towards the boys bathroom.

As confusing as it may sound, I have always seen Eddie as cool, handsome, even sweet. I remember one time in the woods we hung out because I thought I wanted to get weed and just smoke it till I get high enough to where I black out. But.. I don't know... there was something about Eddie that changed my mind. Maybe it was his sweet eyes, his smile maybe. But the way I laughed that day, I have never laughed like that.. ever I don't think, at least not in my highschool years. Sometimes I wish I could hangout with him again. He listened and was patient when I would take a while trying to find the right words to say. Jason never did that.

Eddie must have walked out of the bathroom while I was deep in thought. Lunch was over and I went to my next class. It had Jason in it so this should be interesting. I walked in and saw Jason kissing another cheer leader. I don't really care to be honest because I knew this would happen.

I just sat down in my class and got through the rest of the day. When it was the end of the school day I went to my locker. I waited for everyone to leave school. Or so I thought everyone was out of the school. I was putting my stuff away and I thought something was in the hallway cause I kept hearing weird noises so I started to back away a little bit. When I did, i ran into what felt like a chest and screamed a little bit. I turned around and looked up to see Eddie Munson with his arm against the locker smiling.

"Woah hey, sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He said.

"W-what are you doing here?" I asked confused. To be completely honest with you I have always had a crush on Eddie but how would I admit that to anyone he's the schools so called freak.

"Well I wanted to make sure you were okay." He said as he continued, "I saw what happened today, well actually the whole school saw." He said with a slight nervous chuckle. "But, I uh, was making sure you were okay because you seemed upset when I walked into the hallway earlier to the bathroom." He said. "So, are you... okay?" He asked sweetly as he tilted his head down a bit to get me to look at him.

"Y-yeah, honestly I didn't really like that jerk anyways. He was always so mean and always flirting with random girls and when- sorry am I rambling to much?" I asked slightly embarrassed.

"No, of course not." Eddie said calmly.

"Oh okay, I thought my rambling was.. annoying you." I said sheepishly.

"I'm gonna have to stop you right there." He said in a playful tone. "You could never annoy me, not in a million years." He said as he smiled. His smile made me smile.

"Okay good because when I would ramble to Jason he would say hurtful things to me." I said started to tear up. "He called me annoying, a bitch, a childish asshole and more that I would rather not say." I said as I then realized I was crying but I didn't care. "And then he would always say that I was going to hell for dressing how I did. And proceeded to... get very v-violent when he got very m-" I stopped talking because I felt very warm arms wrap around me. Eddie. I layed my head on his chest and cried. "Shh, it's okay princess." He said. I blushed at the name.

I soon calmed down after that. "Well I have to go home now." I said pulling away.

"No problem princess. And if anyone ever hurts you like that again, tell me." He said.

"I will don't worry." I said. As we were about to part ways I had an idea. "Hey Eddie." I said. He turned around and looked back at me with an expression that said go on. "Do you think you could give me a ride home?" I asked sheepishly.

"You, Chrissy Cunningham, are asking Eddie Munson the school freak... to give you a ride home." He said jokingly with a smile.

"Yes, i-is that bad because you don't have to if you don't want to. It's just really cold outside and I didn't wanna walk but you-" He stopped me. "Yes I will give you a ride home Chrissy." He said with a sweet smile.

I followed him outside into the cold air. A wave of chills came over me. My teeth started to chatter. I don't know maybe it was because I had no meat on my bones but I never did well in cold air. I had zoned out in thought while walking. I thought I was following him but when I stopped being zoned out he was standing in front of me waving his hands in my face.

"You okay? You just spaced out." He said.

"Y-yeah, sorry I'm just really cold because the cheer captain took my jacket." I said still shivering.

"Here." He said taking off his jacket. "Take this." He said.

"Oh no it's-" I started but he stopped me. "If me, Eddie Munson, the so called freak of the town is going to be driving golden girl Chrissy Cunningham around, you better believe your not going to be freezing on the way there." He said handing me the jacket. I quickly put it on. It was warm and smelled like vanilla. I buried my head in it. I heard Eddie chuckle as he started to walk to the car with a smile.

We got in and he drove me home. When I got there all of my clothes were on the ground. Everything I owned in fact. "Stay here." I said to Eddie as I got out. He had a look of concern on his face as I got out of the car. I quickly went and knocked on the door. My mom answered. "Mom what's going on?" I asked confused and concerned.

"I did not raise my daughter to be kicked off the cheer team and talk to the school freak. I came to pick you up from school and saw everything. And on top of that you lost Jason. Me and your father are very disappointed in you. Goodbye Chrissy and do not come back. Also if you don't get your clothes off of my lawn they are being burned in the fireplace tomorrow." She said firmly before slamming the door in my face. I cried and started to pick up my stuff.

"Chrissy what happened?" Eddie asked hurrying towards me.

"My mom just kicked me out of the house for being a disappointment." I cried as I started to pick up my stuff again. "I have no place to go. I have no friends, no boyfriend." I said still crying.

"You can always stay at my place." He said kneeling down beside me.

"Really!!! Thank you Eddie!!" I said jumping onto him pulling him into a hug. We both fell to the ground. But he seemed to not mind. Never in a million years did I think this would be happening. Me with the so called freak Eddie Munson. I could say he is my best ever at this point.
