This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 10 〰️

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

〰️ Sunday 〰️

     I barely slept any, mom and dad were out on their usual 'Date Sunday' as they dubbed it. I went and got the bag off the porch labeled 'cheer uniform and pompoms', adding that I would be talking to her about it being a day late. I walked downstairs and greet my sister, who was about to head to work. I made myself breakfast, then got a shower to wash off all the negative energy from Jason last night. I recalled last night as the best night of this week, minus Jason being a complete douche. I get dressed and head downstairs. I sat on the sofa and blankly watched the tv on whatever it was playing. 

     I began to question why and how Jason had followed me from the trailer park, when he had no reason to be there in the first place. Maybe he followed me from when I left the house the first time. I shuddered thinking about it.

     Just then the phone began to ring and I ran over to it. 

    " Hello?" I asked, hoping it was anyone but Jason.

     " Hey, this is uhm, this is Robin?" She questioned.

     " Well hello there! What are you up to?" I twirl the phone cord around my finger as I waited for her to respond. 

      " I was just wondering uhm, if you wanted to hang out today? If not that's completely fine." 

     " Of course, I would love to have a little date. What time are you thinking?" I ask.

     " Oh I mean, any time is fine with me I just need to make sure I have a ride there-"

     " I can pick you up Sugar, don't worry, just give me the address and I'll be there shortly." I smiled. She gave me the address and hung up. I began to pack everything needed in my purse and left a note to my parents saying I was out with a friend.

     I looked around the street to make sure I didn't see Jason's car. Feeling as though I searched well, I got in my car and drove towards the address. It was a small town so it wasn't hard to find. I pull up into the drive and honk. Robin immediately jumped out of the door and walked toward the passenger side. Her eyes gleamed as she got in. " Nice car you got," She said shortly. I smiled and said a small thank you. " Where are we headed?" She asked. 

      I shrugged. " Haven't gotten that far into the plan," I laugh shortly. " Maybe the little coffee shop by the library?" I asked and she nodded in agreement. 

     We pull up to the coffee shop and walk in. We both order hot drinks and sit down in a small, isolated corner. " So, how ya been?" She said, stirring the drink. 

     " Well, to be really honest, it's been horrible. Jason is stalking me and I don't know what to do, and he keeps threatening the people around me-" I stop. " I'm saying to much aren't I?" I laugh lowly.

     " No, I love it, it's ok. You say he's been stalking you? Do I need to beat his ass up?" Her eyes full of fury. I giggle and shake my head no.

     " I think I got it covered last night. He came over begging for me back and of course I told him no, what kind of mad man do you have to be?" We both giggle. 

     We sat and talked for a while and I notice her fidgeting with her sweater sleeves. " Well, I've been meaning to tell you for a while now, I just don't know how to say it..." She trails off. I nod and she smiles shyly at me. She looks around and makes sure no one is around. 

     " I-I think I might have a teeny tiny crush on you." She says as she hides her now red face. 

     " I hate to tell you, but I think I like someone else. But you're a really great girl and hey, maybe one day we'll be pulled together again." I rub my hand on her shoulder.

     " Do you hate me now?" She whispers and I chuckle.

     " Now why the hell do you think I hate you?" She looks up at me and smiles.

     " So does that mean we can still be friends?" She stares into my eyes. 

     " Of course, Robin. Stop doubting yourself you're gonna make me puke." I pull her into a hug and we giggle.

     We talked for what felt like hours, until it was around 1 o'clock. " Oh shit," She says, " I'm gonna be late! I have a shift with Steve! Shit!" She hopped up and started panicking. 

     " Calm down, I'll take you there. It's no fuss." I said as we walked our way to the car. I opened the door for her and got in myself. We made it just in time for Robin to clock in and get her vest on. 

     Steve looks at her, as she shakes her head. He looks back at me. " Hey there Shithead."

     " Hey there Shithead." I grin and pull him into a hug over the counter. He smiles back.

     " Did you have a good date with Robin?" He asked. I nodded my head and giggled. Robin runs to the front and starts scanning movies back into the system. 

     I told him all of the drama that happened as he walked around the store doing work, the occasional girl asking for his help. His mouth stayed open in an 'o' shape. " I cannot believe him!" Steve says as I finish my sob story. 

     Just then, Nancy walked in and Steve stiffened. 

     " I'll let you two be." I patted his shoulder and blow a kiss to Robin as she blows one back.
