This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 13 〰️

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

     Eddie's hand slid perfectly into mine, having to move the baggy material of his jacket out of the way. I would like to say it was for balance but I think otherwise. Hopefully he can't see my face oh my lord. His hand tightened around mine, due to my balance on the board being horrible. He chuckled into my back and instructed me.

     " Dominant foot in front, other in the back. Just relax Princess, I've got you." He whispered behind me. I do as he says and gain a bit more balance. " Now you usually use your least dominant foot to propel yourself forwards, but whatever feels comfortable. Make sure your feet are flat on the board, or it'll take you left or right. But that's for later." He kept my hand in his, gripping tightly. I did as he said, and tripped. His strong arms caught me just in time and I smile at him.

     " At least take me to dinner first." I teased. He rolled his eyes and hoisted me up.

     " I already did," he mumbled, probably thinking I couldn't hear him. I brush it off and get on the board again. " Now, keep your arms out, but not like a T, just relax to where you are in control." I lift my free arm and begin to go forwards, very slowly but surely. I began to freak out and stop.

     " I did it! Oh my god Eddie I did it!"
I exclaim, jumping up and down excitedly. Eddie smiles at me.

      " Yes you did Princess, I'm proud of you." He says and let's my hand go. I will admit, the fact of his hand being in mine was comforting. " Now, try it yourself. I'm here so don't worry." I tried a few times, but I never got to long before I stopped out of nervousness. " Now, do you wanna add turns?" He asked and I nodded my head. He explains everything to know about turning on a skateboard, and demonstrates how to on his own board.

     We stayed for a while, ultimately I began to love skateboarding. I learned how to do the basic cruising techniques, but no crazy things. We sat down on the cold cement floor and stared at the stars. They were dim because of the lights, but it was nice to sit in silence comfortably. I felt like dozing off, at this point it's around 2 in the morning. Eddie looks down at me and smiles. " Ready to go? It's late for you Princess." I nodded groggily. He got up and reached his hand towards me. He pulled me up swiftly and caught my body in his.

We head down to the van, each of us carrying a skateboard. We got into the van and before I know it, I fall asleep.

〰️ Monday morning, 7am 〰️

I woke up on what seemed to be a couch. I got up and noticed it was Eddie's trailer. I started to panic, thinking I would miss school until I found a clock saying it was early. I began to wonder if Eddie was awake or not, going into his room I notice his small snores.

I stifle my laugh and slowly got onto the bed with him, just admiring his sleeping form. This is so weird. I swipe the hair out of his face and he shifts a bit and grabs my hand. He unconsciously smiles and caresses it, I'm frozen as I let him rub his thumb on my hand. He began to mumble incoherently, some words coherent. " Would you... make me happy... marry me..." He smiles again and lightly laughs. I pull my hand away, blinking and began to smile down at him, his eyes fluttering open. He jumps at first but then stretches. " Good mornin Princess. Did you sleep well?" He asks. I nod and get up from the bed.

" It's around 7, you need to get up and get ready, not to be rude but I need to get home and get myself ready for school. My parents usually don't check on me in the morning so I should be fine, they leave early." I explain as he runs his eyes and begins to get up.

" Let me get ready, give me 15." He says shortly and walks to the bathroom. I turn on the light and make his bed for him, sitting down when I'm done.

     He walks into the bedroom and had a small towel on his hand, a fresh Black Sabbath shirt on his torso and some acid washed jeans. He lets his hair down and sticks his toothbrush out of his mouth, focusing on his hair.

     " Take a picture it'll last longer Princess." He says with a mouth full of bubbles and winks at me before walking back into the bathroom. I blink and smile.

     " Shut up Eddie!" I whisper scream to him in the bathroom, not looking in incase I didn't want to taint my eyes. He laughs and I assume his spits his toothpaste out. He walks out of the bathroom and grabs his bag off the ground by the door.

     " Let's go Princess." He says and grabs the keys as I slowly follow behind. We go out into the cold again, noticing I still have his jacket on. He starts the car and I begin to wonder.

     " Hey how did I get into the house?" I asked and he looks at me, slight tension in his eyes. He fidgets with his seatbelt.

     " Well you were really really reallyyy tired so I carried you in. Sorry if I'm not allowed you just seemed so peaceful." He says quickly, cringing like he was expecting me to slap him.

     I lean back into the cold seat of the van, " I don't mind Eddie. I really appreciate you letting me sleep. To be honest, I haven't been able to peacefully pass out like that for a while." I admit and he stops cringing. He laughs a relief out.

     Once to my house, I jump out to get ready, saying I would just ride with him. I got ready quickly and jumped back into the car. By now it was 7:50, and we needed to be at school. Eddie hauled us to school listening to rock music on the way.
