Part 56 - JUST BREATHE

Your anxiety is at an all time high. With spring break and graduation coming up you've been beyond stressed to make sure you and Eddie graduate together. It's all you've been thinking about for the last few days.

"Is everything okay?" Eddie interrupted your train of thought.
"Hm? Yea I just- I'll be okay" you lied.
"Babe, I know something is bothering you. You can tell me you know" Eddie hummed as he hugged you. You sobbed into his arms "I just...I feel like there's too much pressure right now, between getting us to graduate and trying to find a part time job I feel like I'm going to burst- it's too much pressure Eddie I just.. I can't handle it all" you continued to cry into Eddie's shoulder, his arms were wrapped around your torso, squeezing you tight.

Eddie rubbed your back "Y/N, What can I do to help?" He asked. You took a deep breath and sighed "I kinda wouldn't mind smoking weed to calm down a little" you said as you looked up at Eddie.
He smiled "Of course" he said.

You sat on the bed and watched as Eddie gathered his supplies "Do you want to do it here or go for a walk?" He asked.
"Here is good" you said.
Eddie lit up the joint and took a long drag, he passed it to you after he was done. You brought the joint to your lips, closed your eyes, and took a deep breath. As the smoke filled your lungs you felt instant relief, your shoulders dropped as you relaxed and passed he joint back to Eddie. You watched as he took another drag before looking back at you "Lay down" he said with a grin.

Doing as you were told you laid on your back, Eddie leaned over and laid on his side, supporting himself up with his arm.
"Keep your mouth open" he said softly. You watched as he took a long drag from the joint and leaned into you. His hand held onto your jaw as his mouth lined up with yours. Blowing smoke into your mouth, you inhaled as he exhaled. You held the smoke in your chest for a few seconds before exhaling and smiling at your boyfriend.
"How are you feeling now?" He asked.
"Much better" you hummed as you closed your eyes again. You felt Eddie's soft, plump lips against yours as he kissed you.
"Everything will be okay, sweetheart. I promise. I'll help you get through this" he said softly as he leaned over to put out the joint in the ashtray on his nightstand.

As he laid back down towards you he started brushing your hair out of your face.
"You're perfect, you know that?" He whispered as he looked into your eyes.
"So are you" you smirked as you wrapped your hands around his tattooed forearm.
"We're gunna get through this babe" he said.
"How do you know?" You asked.
"Because I said we are" he smirked.
"I'm tired" you hummed as you closed your eyes.
"Let's go to bed then, hm?" He said as he leaned in and kissed your forehead.
"Okay" you smiled "sleep sounds good right now"

Eddie leaned over you and turned the bedside lamp off before laying down on his back.
"Come here" he whispered. As you snuggled into Eddie's tattooed chest, you could hear the wind howling outside. You hummed as Eddie wrapped his arm around you and pulled you in closer, his hand rubbed your back ever so slightly. With your ear against his bare chest you could hear his steady heartbeat.
"I love you" he whispered as he kissed your head.
"I know" you whispered "I love you too, Eddie"

You groaned as you stretched and rolled over in bed, looking over at the time you saw that it was already after 10am, thank god it was a Saturday. A familiar cramp formed in your lower abdomen, 'great, my period started' you thought to yourself.
"Shit" you said in a panic as you pulled the blanket off of you, you shifted your body and revealed a small, but prominent period stain on the bed sheet "Fuck fuck fuck" you said in a panic.
Eddie groaned as he rolled over to face you "Is everything okay?" He asked.
"No, oh my god I'm so sorry" you stood up in a hurry.
Eddie sat up in a hurry, still unaware of the stain on the bed "Y/N slow down" he said "what's wrong?!"
You looked down at the stain and then back at Eddie, who was now looking directly at it. He sighed "Babe, it's okay" he looked at you as he crawled out of bed and stood up in front of you "hey" he said as he cupped your face "hey, it's okay, it's really no big deal okay?" He reassured you.
"I'm sorry" you said as you looked down, you could feel your face burning with embarrassment.
"It's nothing to be sorry about sweetheart" he smiled "come here" he said as he embraced you in a hug.
"How about you go shower, it might make you feel better. I'll throw the bedding in the wash okay?" He said.
You nodded your head "Okay" you said.

As you stepped into the warm shower you stood still for a few moments and closed your eyes. You tried not to focus on what just happened, your stomach tightened as the cramps in your abdomen intensified. Your period would definitely explain why your emotions have been so high the last few days.

Once you were done in the shower you stepped out and dried yourself off. You headed back into Eddie's room "How you feeling?" He asked.
"Better" you said quietly.
"I threw your clothes in the washing machine" he said as he finished putting clean bedding on his bed.
"Thank you" you said.
"Hey" he looked at you as he walked over and wrapped his arms around your damp body "It's okay" he whispered as he kissed your forehead. You sighed heavily and looked up at him "Thank you for not making it weird" you said. Eddie brushed your wet hair off of your cheek "Of course, sweetheart" he said as he smiled "are you hungry?" He asked.
"Actually now that you say it, I am" you giggled.
"I'll go make us something, I put some of my clothes on the bed if you want to put something on" he said as he kissed your cheek.

As you were getting dressed in Eddie's clothes you couldn't help but think to yourself 'what did I do to deserve such a great boyfriend' you smiled to yourself as you continued to go deeper into thought about Eddie. Good god you loved that man, you would do anything to marry him one day.
