Okay, I like this chapter much more than the others. It took me a while to really capture 'Eddie' but i think I'm getting there!
They had driven most of the way in silence, besides the metal music playing faintly from the radio.
Louella sighed, rubbing her face with her hands. Eddie looked over at her,
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just a long day"
"Tell me about it." he scoffed, "At the start of the day you hated me, warmed up to me a little in math, then hated me again... how about now? Still hate me?"
She smirked,
"I'm half inclined to slap you across your annoying face."
"Fair... and what about the other half?"
She looked at him,
"I haven't decided yet."
"You know what? I'll take that."
Louella listened as Metallica came onto the radio. She watched as Eddie leaned over and turned it up.
"Master of Puppets," she said.
He looked at her, his eyes lighting up.
"You're full of surprises, aren't you?"
She shrugged, smiling slightly.
"You know, I can play this on guitar."
"Really?"
"Mhm. I like to think I do it quite well. You should come see me play sometime... or I could give you a private show." He smirked.
"Or you could teach me how to play."
"That too, that too."
Eddie continued to watch her. Her fingers as she tapped them on her thigh to the beat of the song. Her sharp cheekbones. Her perfect nose. Her curves. And her eyes. Her goddamn eyes. She so was devastatingly beautiful that it was intoxicating.
Louella noticed his stare,
"Eyes on the road, Munson."
He quickly turned his attention back to driving,
"Yeah, yeah, sorry"
He pulled up outside the address she had given him. It was a large, two-story home.
"Woah," Eddie said as they drove up the driveway, examining the house and its dark inside, "looks like no one's home."
"Of course no one's home, I live by myself."
"I thought..." and then he realised, "oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about... you know."
"That's okay."
They both got out of the van.
"So you got the house."
"And all the inheritance. It would've gone to Heather but she died too so..."
They began walking towards the front door and Louella fished for her keys in her bag.
"Wow, you really did lose everything in that fire, didn't you?"
That fire. She wished everyone could've known what actually happened. The memories clawed at her mind: Billy sacrificing himself for Eleven. She shooed away the thoughts,
"Yeah but as sad as it is, I'm used to it. Losing people, that is. Tom and Janet weren't even my real parents."
He paused,
