Make a deal With God

time heals all wounds

"You okay angel" Eddie asked driving home. "Maybe not right now but I will be" I answered honestly. Eddie didn't question my answer and continued driving. Once home he helped me into the shower.

After i was laying in bed watching a movie. Eddie was playing with his guitar  "Eddie" I called and he rounded the corner. "Yeah" he said.  "When I got out of the van at Billy's, what did you mean by 'no harm in running'" I asked him. He sat beside me.

"I was scared, you always are fighting for everyone and I just wanted you to know there was no harm in doing what's best for you and running away from danger" he said.

"Well, what if I don't know what's best for me" I asked.  Eddie looked at me. "I mean look at my family, I have no idea what I'm doing" I sighed.  "Well, I can show you, I mean I've been doing for myself for awhile even living with my uncle" Eddie said. "And here I thought Steve was the daddy of the group" I chuckled. "Please don't put Steve and daddy in the same sentence" Eddie said shaking his head.

"Would you prefer to be daddy" I questioned and Eddie swallowed hard. He sat silently. He got up and walked out of the room.

I got up and followed him. Carefully I snuck up as he sat in the other room. 

"Babe" I called Softly "did I say something wrong" I said.  He got up and walked toward me "no angel, you just get me all worked up and you're still healing" he said caressing my cheek. I blushed. "I'm sorry" I said. "Don't be sorry, let's go get some dinner hmm" he said and I nodded.

We went to the local diner. And ordered our usual. We were eating and talking when the Jocks walked in. 

"Well well well if it isn't the Hawkins freaks" Jason said. I looked up. Tommy and Steve were with him. I looked at Steve.  "Heard he tried to kill you" Jason said. "That's not true" I yelled back.  "I got caught in the mall fire" I said. "Right caught with Hargrove, I'm sure that's got a backstory" Tommy chimed in.

Steve stayed silent.  "Look just leave us alone" Eddie said. Jason chuckled. "Oh the freak does have a voice" he said. I stood up.  I pushed Jason. "Leave us alone" I said firmly. Jason pushed me tearing a few of my stitches causing blood to pool fast and make me dizzy.  My white shirt turning red as I fell back "You asshole" Steve said punching Jason. Eddie caught me and applied pressure to my wound.

"I didn't know you were actually hurt" Jason said choking on blood. He ran off with Tommy behind him while Steve crouched by me and Eddie and waited for the ambulance.

"I told you to rest" Hopper said walking into the hospital room. "I was resting, we just went for dinner" I said.  "And got in a fight, Jesus Lou do you even think"  as soon as that sentence left his mouth he was apologizing. "Get out" Eddie said noticing my distress. Hopper didn't fight and left.

The dr released me a couple hours later and Eddie took me home. I curled up in bed and he snuggled around me gently.
He sighed as if he was going to say something.

"I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep" I said. "Okay angel" he said kissing my neck.

The next morning I only got up to go to the bathroom then I curled back up in bed. I couldn't catch a break and hoppers words were still stinging and the fact steve was with Jason hurt too. Eddie brought me breakfast but I didn't want to eat.

"You have to eat" he said. "I don't feel like it" I said. Eddie put the plate on the dresser. "Talk to me sweetheart" he said Softly.

"Hopper thinks I'm stupid, Steve's hanging with Jason, they think I slept with billy" I ranted crying. Eddie held me carefully. 

"You are not stupid, let me make that very clear, as for Steve and Billy fuck what they do or what is said" he said.  "You and I both know you haven't slept with billy, and as for Steve well, I don't know about harrington" Eddie said kissing my forehead.

"Now ill let you stay in bed all day but you have to eat baby" Eddie said handing me my plate again. I nodded.

"Will you talk to Steve? I just wanna know why he's handing with the bane of my exisistance" I said eating. Eddie nodded and went to call him.

I finished my food and sat the plate on the bedside table.  I heard a knock on the door.
"She doesn't want to see you" I heard Eddie say

"To damn bad"
