Unlikely Couple

Back Home Again

Chrissy's POV

Sitting alone in Eddie's cold, dark room was getting tired some. I felt myself getting sicker and weaker by the second. I can't stop thinking of being warm again, safe. Surprisingly, none of those creatures have tried to get me yet. I still hear their horrible screeches and cover my ears when they get a little too close. Eddie's hoodie is the only thing keeping me going during all this. It gives me a sense of security; it's the only thing that doesn't reek and it actually has some warmth to it when I cuddle it. 

When I get bored, I normally wear Eddie's hoodie to feel warm and walk around the trailer. I look through all of Eddie's things once more admiring everything. I was looking for a while when I heard something coming into the trailer. I panic and make my way to the closet hiding. I try my best to listen but my heart was pounding so loudly. I listened closely to what I think is talking? I wanted to call out for help but it would be too risky. 

I shift in my spot accidentally hitting the wall. Fuck. Suddenly everything goes quiet and I freeze. I feel my heart beating even faster and my hands getting sweaty. I could barely breathe but if I breathed out heavily I would sure be found by whatever the fuck was out there. I hear the sound of footsteps coming closer as something walks now the hall. Slowly the door beings to open and I hold my breath. All I could see was blackness and something standing in the closet. It slowly creeps open and that's when I knew I was dead... or so I thought. 

The thing that opened the door exposing me wasn't a thing, it was Eddie! "Chr-Chrissy?" He asked socked stepping back a little. "Eddie!" I was so relieved that I sprung up into his arms. "I was so scared, Eddie. I thought I was gonna die for sure. I thought it was gonna get me, but I fought back because I heard the sound of the music that came on and I- I" I broke down in his arms balling my eyes out. 

Eddie held me tighter and rubbed my back calming me. "Shh, it's ok. I was scared too, I- I thought you died but I'm so glad you're here and alive! I was worried sick about you." I took a big breath and got a big whiff of his scent, so calming. I listened to his heartbeat a little before he spoke again. "Alright, let's get you home rockstar," He said smiling down at me. He walked me down the hall and I was totally confused. For one, why was he even here? And two, why is he here with Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler,  and that one girl from marching band; I think her name is Robin or something?

"Henderson! I found Chrissy!" he shouted up into the roof. There are 4 kids staring back up at us upside down. "Holy shit, SHE'S ALIVE!?" He asked a little concerned. "You've been hiding here for almost three days?" Robin asked looking at me. "We're glad you're alive and not hurt," Nancy said with a soft smile grabbing my hands. "Let's get you out of here" 

I was the first one to climb out and it was very trippy. I started climbing up but then I fell down onto a dirty stain-filled mattress. The curly-haired boy with braces smiled and helped me up. after a good look at the kids I recognized most of them. The curly-haired boy follows around Eddie like a puppy, the other boy was the freshman that won the championship with... Jason and the redheaded girl was from Friday, in the bathroom when I first saw that thing. 

After I was out, then it was Robin, followed by Eddie, and Nancy was supposed to be next but... the same thing that was happening to me was happening to her...

That night... 

(sorry I don't want to get anything wrong because the next volume hasn't come out yet)

Eddie's POV

We stayed at the Wheeler household for the night. Of course, Chrissy and I had to be snuck in because I was literally wanted for the murder of Chrissy and Patrick and she was a dead girl walking. Harrington offered to take Chrissy home and say he found her roaming around in the woods but she didn't want to go. She was wearing my old black sabbath hoodie that I now have hanging on my wall and her very dirty cheer outfit. 

She clung to me tight the whole time we were there. The only time she let go of me is when Nancy started a nice warm shower for her and gave her some spare clothes. She came back to the basement still wearing my hoodie and Nancy's old shorts. Henderson and both Sinclairs had to go home because of their parents; they were not very happy with them. Max stayed in Mike's room for the night, while Robin and Steve camped out in Nancy's room. Who knows what sins were gonna take place in there.

Chrissy and I were left alone in the basement. She laid on my lap as I sat on the couch, I smiled playing with her long blonde hair. My heart was racing at 150 mph, Chrissy was honestly the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Her perfect smile, her dark blue ocean eyes, that cute laugh... No wonder that jock loves her so much. He's a total dickhead and doesn't deserve her but neither do I, I'm just a freak and that's all I'll ever be.

Chrissy's POV

After that much-needed shower, I didn't want to leave Eddie's side. I was still wrapped up in his hoodie as I was laying on his lap. I kept smelling it to soothe me as he played with my hair. Eddie was so caring and sweet, no one has treated me like this before; not even Jason. I looked over at Eddie's guitar that he brought 'just in case' anything happened. Then I looked over at Nancy's little brother's old DND set-up. I wasn't planning on sleeping anytime soon and I needed to get my mind off of things, I sat up and looked up at Eddie, his beautiful chocolate eyes looking back at me as he was nervously chewing on his hair. "Can you teach me how to play DND?"
