*Lana's POV*

   I looked at myself in the mirror, that stupid fucking mirror, and sighed.

Why do I have to look like this? Why do I have to be me? I want to get out of this body so badly.

Before I could sit on the thoughts any longer, I move away from the mirror and look at my arm.

I wrapped it tightly with bandages and plasters I bought from Aunt Joyce's shop. I wished I could talk to her or Jonathan about what happened, but I don't think they'd understand, and after everything that's happened with Will I couldn't bare to burden them.

I hid my arm under my sweater, grabbed my bag, quickly checking I've got everything I need in it and then anxiously head out the door, my mind racing.

"I don't even know what I'm going to talk about with Eddie. I don't know how I feel about him suddenly being hot... and interested in talking to me again. He has to be using me. I don't even know if the van plan is going to work... or if I should do it."

Turning the corner to his trailer, I gulp as I look at it, childhood memories returning by the dozen, so many that I'd forgotten, so many that I'd not bothered thinking on. It'd been so long since I'd been inside, I found it hard to believe that it was still stood there - looking the exact same as it always had, holding the exact same memories.

I felt nostalgic and smiled for a second as I thought about me and Eddie sat in the trailer watching cartoons for hours, our parents presence practically non existent. I couldn't believe that the nerdy little boy I once ate cereal all day with unflinchingly stood up for me like he had earlier, and as I thought more on it, how cool he looked doing it, I felt myself blush. Maybe not cool but, kind of cool,

Knocking on the door, I felt my anxiety rise from my chest into my throat and I almost wanted to puke, but then Eddie swung the door open with a smile and I felt my anxiety lower slightly as he ushered me in.

"You just missed Wayne, you took a bit longer than thirty minutes Lana, it's rude to keep people waiting." He teased with a grin, making my stomach flip slightly. "Nonetheless welcome back to my abode! It has been some time... noble Princess Lanabelle!"

My eyes widened and I laugh, remembering the times of us playing dungeons and dragons together, times I had completely forgotten about until that moment.

"I apologise for my tardiness, wise Wizard Munsonia!" I giggleD. "A noble Princess like me needs her time to get ready."

Eddie laughed and beamed down at me, his smile reaching his eyes and it making my chest flutter.

  "I'm surprised you still remember my old title, I don't suppose you play it anymore do you?" He said with a chuckle.

I laughed again. "No. I only ever played it with you, don't you remember how lame I was at it? I'm not surprised you still play it, you and your Hellfire Club."

"Hey, you weren't lame, you were just playing against a champion." He teased back. "Anyway, let's go to my room, I've got some purple palm tree delight and it's fucking sweet."
