He fixed some food after and we cuddle watching a movie. There was a knock at the door. Eddie covered me with the blanket and peeked out the window.
"Its just Gareth, probably wanting weed stay here angel" Eddie said shutting his door walking to the front door.  He let the boy in.

"Man, have you heard?" Gareth said. I imagined Eddie shaking his head while weighing the product.

"Jason Carver is going around telling everyone he took Lous virginity" Gareth said obviously cringing at continuing to spread the lie.

"I happen to know that that's a lie" Eddie said. "And how would you know?" His friend asked.  I quickly threw on my shorts and Eddie's shirt and walked out to the kitchen.

"Because Eddie did" I said. Gareth stood there mouth agape.  "And it was given not taken" I added. Eddie smiled at me.

"Thanks for letting us know" I told Gareth as he left. Eddie shut the door and turned around.  "Hes gonna get it" Eddie said. "Please drop it for the weekend" I said and Eddie kissed my forehead.  "Okay but Monday morning he's gonna get it" Eddie said clinching his fists.

Monday morning. Eddie drove us to school. Eyes on us no doubt revolving around the rumor.

"Hey carver!" Eddie yelled. My hand clinching his tighter. Jason looked over.
"If you did what you're claiming, what's her tattoo say" Eddie asked. Jason looked around "Its just a flower" Jason answered smugly.  Wrong. I don't have a tattoo.
Eddie chuckled. "She doesn't have any tattoos, and she wouldn't touch you with a 10ft pole" Eddie barked back.  Jason stepped forward.  "Well maybe she just didn't want you to freak out, isn't that right babe" Jason said eyes landing on me.

"No you make me wanna puke, I've never have and will never sleep with you Carver" I said firmly and we walked away.

I huffed as we sat down for first period. I put my head down. I just wanted one day where it didn't go to shit.

"Hey uhm, have you seen Jonathan" I looked up to Nancy. I shook my head "probably skipped today" I said. She sighed and walked back to her seat.

Eddie placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed trying to ease the anxiety.
Classes dragged on and lunch came. I made a bee line for Eddie's van desperate for a nap.

"Wait up" Eddie called grabbing his stuff. I waited by the van as he unlocked it.
"Are you doing okay angel" he asked Softly laying with me. "I just want one day where nothings happening, no upside down stuff, no stupid Jason Carver, no 'where's Jonathan'" I huffed.

"I just want to take a nap, can we ditch the rest of the day?" I asked him.  "Anything for you sweetheart" he said climbing into the driver's seat, I followed suit as he drove to his trailer.  We walked in. "Hey kids, early day?" Mr Munson asked. "Lou is taking a mental health day" Eddie answered and his uncle nodded.  "Well I've got the late shift so I'll see you tomorrow morning" he said walking out the door. I wandered down the hall and curled up in Eddie's bed.. "I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing you laying there" Eddie said taking off his vest and shirt.  "A literally angel in the devils domain" he chuckled. I smiled up at him.  "Get some rest angel" he said kissing my forehead and pulling me to him.

I woke up and Eddie was gone.  I wandered into the kitchen and found the note.

~Be back soon angel♡ Eddie

I plopped on the couch and turned on the TV. I was aimlessly studying when I heard the door open. Looking up I met Eddies goofy grin.

"I went and picked us up some lunch from that diner you like" he smiled holding up a bag.
He sat beside me and we ate.

"Do you like living here?" I asked Eddie.  "I mean, in the trailer?" I clarified.  "Its home to me" he said proudly.  "Well I was thinking,  I have hoppers cabin, ya know if we wanted our own space" I said fidgeting with my fingers.  "Angel are you asking me to move in with you?" He asked. "It's a two bedroom so like you'd have a music room and stuff and it's more secluded for your customers" I said. Eddie looked at me. "You'd give me a music room?" He asked. "I'd give you anything" I replied. He kissed me. "Absolutely yes" he said smiling wide.
"It doesn't have to happen right now though just a thought" I said he nodded. "Lou" Eddie said pulling my attention from my fries. I looked up at him. "I love you" he said.  "I love you too Eds" I replied kissing him.
