The Freak and The Angel

Chapter 5: Attempted Murder

Becky was the first to wake up in the morning. She rubbed her eyes to get the sleep out before she glanced at the clock. It was only 6:30. She groaned and sat up, looking over to Angel and Eddie still curled up in each others arms sound asleep as they cuddled.

"Aww." She let out as she slowly got up and off of the bed. She quietly made her way out of the bedroom and to the kitchen where she saw Wayne sitting at the dinning table with a cup of coffee.

"Hey." She said to him.

"Morning. You spent the night?" He asked before taking a sip.

"Yeah, We were watching a movie. Just kinda fell asleep." She laughed out.

"Mind if I make us some breakfast before school?"

"Us? You mean just you and Eddie are going to school right?" He looked concerned.

"No, I think Angel is coming too."

"I don't think that's a good idea after what happened yesterday." He set his coffee down and looked down the hall towards our bedrooms.

"She'll be safe Mr. Munson. Eddie and I are on top of it. I really don't think she wants to leave him there without her"

"Alright. But I am going to make a call to that school, See if I can't get her classes changed to be in the same ones as Eddie. Safety in numbers." With that he stood and made his way over to the phone where he hastily dialed the schools number.

Becky went over to the fridge and started pulling out eggs, bacon and butter, then over to the counter where she grabbed the bread. She turned on the stove and started cooking.

Eddie was the next to slowly stir awake. He sleepily looked at the love of his life and pulled her closer to him. She smiled at him and hugged him tighter as she slowly opened her eyes to look at his beautiful sleepy face.

"Hi." She whispered to him.

"Hi my Angel." He whispered back. They pulled each other even closer, letting out sleepy little laughs.

"Your Angel?"

"Hmm? Yeah, my Angel. I love you." He said in his full volume sleepy voice. Finally saying the words she's been waiting for, while being in a right state of mind. Drugs and injury not clouding her head.

"I love you too." She replied, smiling happily at him. He grinned at her before giving her a gentle kiss on the lips.

"Angel? Will you be mine? My girlfriend, I mean?"

"Of course I will, Eddie!" With those words, he gently rolled her onto my back, careful not to hurt her any more than she already is. He crawled over her and leaned down, kissing her with a bit more force and passion.

She put her arms over his shoulders and pulled him down to herself. He looked at her with uncertainty. He didn't want to lay his full body weight on her battered body. He hesitated as he placed a hand on her side, slowly running his fingers up and down, sending shivers through her entire body.

Becky came to the doorway and saw them. She knocked on the doorframe and averted her eyes, still trying to sneak a peek anyway.

"Eh hem." She coughed. "I made breakfast." They looked over at her and started laughing as Eddie crawled off of Angel, and they got up, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"We'll be right there." he said as he took her hand in his.

"Alright, be quick. It's getting cold." she said as she walked back to the kitchen.
