The Freak and The Angel

Chapter 15 : Fallen Angel

Two weeks later.

The phone rang, Uncle Wayne answered and called for me. I went out to the livingroom to take the call. It was Becky asking if Eddie and I wanted to go back to school shopping.

"Hold on, let me ask Eddie." I said before setting the phone down and running to his room.

"Eddie, Becky wants to know if you want to go back to school shopping with us?"

"Sorry princess, band practice. You go have fun with girl time though, okay?" He seemed a little sad about not going with, but it would be fun just having girl time with Becky.

"Okay baby." I said as I ran back to the phone.

"He has band practice, but we can go have fun." I told Becky. She said she'd be here to pick me up in a half hour so I went to get ready. It's always the three of us so it'll be fun just us girls.

Eddie came out of his room, lugging his guitar and amps to the van.

"Baby, here let me help you." I told him as I grabbed an amp and helped him load up the van. I may have been using my powers to help lift, but that didn't matter.

"Thanks princess, you're the best." He said, allowing me to help him. He was letting me do more heavy lifting now that I was healthier and stronger again.

My face and frame filling back out to almost where I started.

"No problem baby, I'm always here to help you." I helped him lift in the other amps before he closed up the van.

"Likewise sweetheart." He gave me a soft kiss and a hug before hopping in the driver's seat.

"Eddie, if we get done early enough, maybe we'll come watch you practice. Okay?"

"I'd like nothing more. Love you princess." He said as he pulled away to go to Gareth's. I smiled and gave a little wave.

A few minutes later Becky pulled up and I hopped in the car.

"So where are we going Bec?" I asked as I popped the White Zombie cassette into the player.

"I thought we could hit up a few stores for some new clothes and shoes. I gotta look good for senior year, and you gotta look good for your junior year."

She smiled at me before turning up the volume. "I love this band! "

"Me too. Rob Zombie is so hot." I giggled.

"Eddie's got some competition." She replied with wink and a laugh.

**Eddie's POV**

I got to Gareth's and we unloaded my stuff from the van, setting up for practice.

"So, what's good Eddie?" Gareth asked. "Why did you want to come over so early? The others won't be here for a couple hours."

"I was thinking you'd want to go with me for a quick run to a store." I told him as I plugged in my amps.

"Sure, I guess. What store?"

"You'll see. C'mon." I grabbed my keys and we headed back to the van. I didn't want to tell him where we're going just yet. We drove for a while before I pulled into a parking lot and stopped. He looked out the window at the building and raised a brow.

"We're at a jewelry store."

"Yes, we are." I got out of the van and checked to make sure my wallet was in my pocket.

"Why are we at a jewelry store?" He asked following me inside.

"To find an engagement ring." I told him flatly.
