Eddie Munson × Reader (fixing storyline)

back story!

When you we around 8 years old (I changed the age to be more realistic bc I don't even remember anything from when I was 5 😭) :

I was sleeping..and I woke up with a thud in the kitchen. I checked the time and it was around 4 in the morning. I quietly got up from my bed and walked out of my room and stood in the hallway. Thats when I seen my step-dad from down the hall tumbling all over the place trying to get to his room. I chose to go back to my room so he wouldn't see me and get me in trouble for being up. I tried to go back to bed but I just heard my mom and him getting into an argument that lasted almost all night. I couldn't sleep half the time so I just laid there listening. "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO COME HOME DRUNK!!..I SWEAR YOU CARE ABOUT DRINKING MORE THAN YOUR ACTUAL KIDS!!" my mom yelled at my him. "I'm not..I'm not drunk.." he said slurring his words. "Oh ofc you're not. yet..you reek of alcohol." She replied.

It got so bad to the point where my step-dad lost his job because of his drinking problem.. He had this temper that became worse when he was drunk and I was terrified half the time I was with him. One time I had asked him to sign my homework log because mom was at work and he yelled at me saying "STOP WASTING MY TIME YOU LITTLE BITCH. YOU'RE JUST GONNA END UP FAILING AND BE A DROP OUT AND A DISAPPOINTMENT TO OUR FAMILY!"..I was only around 8 at the time. Imagine how I reacted then..I ran to my room and cried for hours and ended up falling asleep on the floor because of it. I was just a kid dealing with this shit.

after 2 years of this my mom got tired of my step-dad's bs and chose to divorce him, I was lowkey kinda happy for that because he was an asshole to be honest. Then I found out my dad had full custody over me somehow. I'm pretty sure he paid off the shitty lawyer but I couldn't do much since I was only 10. Fast forward like 6 years. I am now 17. A month ago my step-dad passed away. He got into a car accident because he "was under the influence" but I can't help blame myself for it because we had gotten into an argument at the time over something dumb and he left. I was able to see him in the hospital and everything. He made my life a living hell but he's my dad yk so I told him that I loved him because he did take care of me at times and treated me well. I said my goodbyes. He died because the brain bleed was too severe to operate. He would treat me like complete shit most of my life but i still loved him so i couldn't help but miss him.

Fast foward to the present.
I don't remember much about my childhood like exactly where I lived but I remember the core parts of it. So I was able to track down my mom with the help of the police.

I was on a bus right now on my way back "home" with my mom which felt kinda weird. Just thinking about how my life was gonna be completely different now. That's when the bus came to a sudden stop and which stopped my thinking. I looked out the window and seen it was my stop. I got up and put on my backpack and suitcase and walked off the bus. The bus drove off and I was just left in front of my "house". I slowly started walking my way towards the front door and came to a stop in front of the door. I hesitated before lifting my hand to knock. I stopped for a second before knocking. I waited a second and no answer. I knocked again. "HOLD ON" I heard a yell. I waited for like a minute until someone opened the door. "who the fuck are you?" a curly haired boy said. I stared at him for a second and raised my eyebrows in shock. "woww that's one way to greet your sister" I said with sarcasm. "wait. Y/N?!" he said with eager "yeahh?" i said with sarcasm again. he quickly hugged me. I hugged him back. tightly. "god I've missed you Dusty" I said.

We stayed like that for a good minute. I heard someone coming from inside and next thing I knew it was my mom. "Y/N!" she joined in on our hug. I was kinda nervous with coming back to everything but I also missed my mom and Dusty.

After a while I went inside with both of them and into the living room. Dustin then said "I can't wait for you to meet my friends from school!" I'm glad he was happy thats all I want him to be. I told my mom that I missed her sm. She started to cry and apologized that she wasn't able to find me again after my father took me and disappeared. I hugged her again and tried to calm her down and telling her it was okay because i was here now.

After everything got a bit better Dustin said "c'mon let me show you your room". I grabbed my stuff and followed Dustin he led me to my room. I'm glad to see they at least upgraded my bed and it's not as small as it was when I was 10. "we tried to keep a room for you in case you did ever come back honey" my mom said. I smiled at her when i heard they did that.

I was honestly exhausted. I just asked if I could shower and sleeppp. That's exactly what I did. I showered then changed into comfy clothes. Shorts and a black tank top.

Dustin came in a little later and popped his head in "Y/N!" he came yelling "holy shit-" I jumped in fear "Dustin you scared me you twerp" I said. "Get used to it. Anyways I came to tell you that if you want I could help you set up your room tomorrow since it's kinda uhm bland". He said "sure I wanted to add fairy lights in here or something and change up the pillow cases, bed sheets, and maybe hang a couple posters" I responded. "Okayy" he then smiled which I found adorable. He then said "Good nightt!". "Good nightt" I said back. I sighed and laid on my bed. It's a Friday but i'm going to have to start going to go to Hawking High on Monday which is kinda freaking me out. I just laid down overthinking which caused me to knock out.
