This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 4 〰️

〰️Chrissy's Pov〰️ 

     " Hey mom!" I yell when I get inside and drop my bag by the door. When I got to the kitchen table, there was a note. 

To Chrissy, 

I went to the store to grab some ingredients to make dinner. 

I hope you have a ride to the basketball game tonight

Love Mom. 

     I huff and begin to freshen up for the game, reapplying my lip gloss and my eye makeup. I looked like a complete mess. " Hopefully no one will notice." 

     I walked back out into the cold weather, making sure to pack another jacket in my cheer bag. I made it to the gym and walked into the gym doors. Immediately, Jason's eyes met mine and anger boiled in me. I tried not to show it, but it was there, festering. I turn my head and walk over to the team. I take my jacket off and put it in my bag. " Let's get to work girls!" I exclaim. 

     The game had gone by quickly, only meaning that Jason would come talk to me after. I was ready to face him I believe. But a small part of me was scared to confront him. I grabbed my bag as the crowds began to file out of the gymnasium.

     I see Jason start to jog to me as he was smiling. Only a few people remained in the gym so I didn't feel like faking the smile I wore while cheering. " Hey Sunshine," He began. " How are you?" He smiled at me. I whip my head towards him, boring holes in his eyes, searching for any remorse in his face. 

     " Oh, I'm just fine. But can we talk in private?" I reply. His smile faltered as he began to scratch parts of his body, readjusting the strap on his bag. 

     " Sure Sunshine," He led me to a secluded part of school. " What did you want to talk about?" He grinned. 

     " Maybe about the fact you, I don't fucking know, CHEATED on me?" I cry, raising my arms in anger. His face was priceless. 

     " Ok, whoever told you that is a liar! I would NEVER do that to you!" He became defensive, crossing his arms. I shook my head. 

     " Explain to me why everyone knows. Why everyone looks at me differently, like their sorry for me? Explain Jason or so help me God." I seethe. He frowned.

     " You really believe someone else besides me?  Chrissy," He tried to grab my hand but I shrugged him off. " I would never. Your listening to lies!" He yelled. I began to falter. Maybe they were lies. I began to shake out of pure rage. 

     " I know who it is." I breathe out. He uncrosses his arms.

     " It was one time-"

      " I fucking knew it! I knew those 'practices' weren't real! I can't believe you!" I began. " You are a horrible person! I can't believe I ever trusted you! I gave my heart and soul to you!" My voice cracks at the end but it doesn't phase me. He grabs my hands swiftly. His eyes searching in mine.

     " I swear to God Chrissy, you cannot leave me. Got it?" He says lividly. My breath hitches. He can't be serious.

     " You don't own me." I spit out. He scoffs, and raises his free hand.

     " Like hell I don't." He brings his hand down, colliding with my face and I yelp. 

     Suddenly, I hear thundering footsteps from my right. In an instant, Jason released my hands and was on the ground. It was all a blur. I stood there, unable to comprehend the sight in front of me.

      Eddie had rushed Jason.
