Eddie's POV My eyes opened just a bit to look at the clock. 1:17am. I lifted my head off of my boyfriend's chest while sitting up. I rubbed my eye and got out of the bed. I walked to the bathroom and turned on the light. After my eyes adjusted I looked at myself in the mirror. You could slightly see my ribs. My eyes wondered to my scars. I ran my hands along them and then looked at my hands. My gaze shifted to the toilet and back to my hands. I ate a lot and it's been a bit since last time so I should be fine. I took off my rings and washed my hands throughly. I pulled my hair back and knelt down in front of the toilet. I stuck my index and middle fingers down my throat and gagged. I threw up all the food I ate before I fell asleep. After I was through I got up and washed my mouth out with water and walked to my room. I stepped in the room and it smelt of sex. I got the sheets off the bed and put them aside, sitting onto the bed. I remember that Rick was let out a few weeks ago so I walked down stairs and put his number into the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Rick it's Eddie"
"Oh hey Eddie what do you need"
"What can you give me for 10 bucks?"
"Maybe like a quarter of a bag"
"Okay I'll take it"
"Alright where are you I'll bring it to you"
I gave Rick the address and he hung up. I walked back to my room and grabbed the bedding and putting it in the washer. I walked to the living room and sat on the couch.
Nobody's POV Eddie turned on the tv and waited for a knock at the door. Eddie laughed at the show that was on and relaxed a bit. He noticed how the shirt he was wearing was actually really big on him. It went to mid-thigh and his underwear was nowhere to be seen. He heard a knock at the door and walked over and opened it.
"Hey Rick"
"Sup man"
"Come in cuz I have to get the money from my wallet upstairs"
Rick followed Eddie into the house and sat on the couch. Eddie walked upstairs and grabbed the money. Rick just looked around amazed at how Eddie's life has changed in the time he was locked up. Eddie came back, money in hand, hair now tied up in a low bun.
"Here"
"Thank you and here you go"
Rick gave Eddie the bag and Eddie sat down.
"Wanna smoke?"
"Sure but I already have a blunt rolled so don't waste yours making another one."
"Okay"
Rick pulled out a blunt and a lighter. He lit it and put his lips around it, inhaling. He gave it to Eddie and exhaled. Eddie did the same thing. They did this repeatedly until the blunt was gone.
"Hey where's your underwear?"
"I'm wearing underwear Rick"
"Oooh it's that pair or did you get more"
"I got more"
"Oooo what colors?"
"Red, yellow, white, pink, and blue"
"Oh wow that's a lot. Which one are you wearing?"
"That sounds so weird man, but I'm wearing the red ones"
"Yeah it does sound really weird. Anyways how's Steve Harrington the ex-king of Hawkins High treating you?"
"Great. I haven't told him much about my personal life but he treats me like he already knows. Like he doesn't yell at me for saying sorry a lot and he doesn't get mad at me, he just comforts me and I love him for that."
"That's great man," Rick put a hand on Eddie's shoulder, "I'm glad you finally found a good one."
"You think he'll be my forever?"
"If I'm being honest I think he'll..."
"Come on man" Eddie punched Rick's arm slightly.
"I think he is definitely your forever and always. Well it was nice talking with you and all but I better go."
"No stay watch tv with me"
"I mean if you insist"
Eddie and Rick agreed on a show and turned it on. They watched a few episodes and then fell asleep.
