The Freak and The New Girl

16 : Past

(Eddie pov)

Gareth shook me to wake me up and Hope shifted

"Stop dude, you'll wake her up." I said

Wait a second, where are we

" Where are we?" I whispered

"By the hideout, but we have bigger issues than waking up your girlfriend." He said

What was he talking about?

And then I heard someone yell "Come on out Freak! Don't be a coward!"

It was Jason, and he probably had all of his friends with him.

I really didn't wanna wake her but I also didn't want her getting hurt.

I woke her up and told Gareth to take her to Jeff.

"What's going on?" She asked with a groggy voice.

"Jason's back but I don't want you to get hurt so please go with Jeff and if something happens to me just call Wayne." I said giving her the note I had of peoples numbers.

I got up and Gareth came back and we walked over to Jason

"Laundry basket shooter." I said

"Freak." He said

His friends gathered around.

"What're you doing here Jason? I told you not to come back." I said getting madder by the minute

"I didn't, we did." Jason said pointing to his friends.

"We're outnumbered, it's not a fair fight." I said

"No what's not fair is you beating the sh*t out of me over a f**king joke!" He said

"It wasn't a joke, you meant it when you called her that!" I said getting more and more mad.

Then out of nowhere I saw five trucks pull in.

A guy with longish brown hair came out of one truck with Nancy

Steve came out with Robin

Dustin and all his friends came

Billy came and max came

And then in the last car it was a van with the rest of hellfire.

Now we outnumbered them but Billy did go to Jason.

"What a prick." Max said talking about her brother

"I told you to stay away from people like that max." Billy said

Who was he talking about?

"Ya know this whole time, maybe Neil was right. You are a coward. You can't even stand with your own sister because you don't like her friends." Max yelled

"Your not my sister and don't bring my dad into this Maxine." Billy yelled back

"How about we all shut up and maybe we can settle this?" Jason yelled to me after realizing he was outnumbered.

"What's wrong? The great Jason Carvers scared of a little fight?" I asked teasing him

"Your the reason this is happening in the first place freak! You through the first punch!" Jason yelled

Of course he thought it was my fault

"He only threw the first punch because you called me a wh*re! He was just defending me! If anything it's your fault!" Hope yelled

"I only called you that because your dating the freak, you do know he's a drug dealer right? Or maybe the fact that he's the reason his parents died? I bet you didn't know that did ya?" Jason yelled

Okay I'm all honesty, it wasn't completely my fault. We were in the car and one of my favorite songs came on so I leaned up to turn it up and my dad looked back to tell me to tell me to sit back and then my mom yelled "deer!" And my dad hit a deer.

I got off with a few broken bones.

My dad got a broken rid which punctured his lung and killed him and my mom couldn't deal with his death so she got into drugs and eventually over dosed.

"What- Eddie is that true?" Hope asked not believing I could be capable of getting someone killed.

"Hope, I can explain okay?" I said as she started to run to my van

She couldn't leave I had the keys, wait- I gave her the keys so I didn't loose them.

"Hope!" I yelled as she pulled off

"You had to do that? Really? What the hell dude?! What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at Jason

"What's wrong with me? At least I didn't get my parents killed because I liked a stupid song!" Jason yelled

"At least I'm not a prick who cheats on my girlfriend because I'm bored of her!" I yelled

That made him mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Hope pov)

How could he keep something like this from me? I've told him every thing.

He knows all of my secrets, he knows about my dad. He knows about me having all of the pressure on me after mom got sick and he can't even tell me that he got his parents killed

There was probably a reason why he didn't tell me but I didn't care.

I pulled into Eddie's house because even though I was mad at him I still wasn't going home.

Wayne was there

"Hope what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked seeing that I was crying.

"Did you know?" I blurted out

"Did I know what?" He asked

"That Eddie accidentally got his parents killed and didn't tell me even tho I've told him everything about myself that I would kill anyone else if they knew because I only trust him that much!" I said while still crying

"Hope he's, not in touch with any emotions except pretending to be dramatic around his friends. I've been his guardian since he was 7 years old and he still hasn't talked about his parents once. It's a hard subject for him and honestly the only person who even has a chance of getting him to open up... is you." Wayne said

I didn't know Eddie was that closed off, he always seems so happy.

I've always seen Eddie as this dramatic happy person who doesn't let anything faze him.

The only time I've seen him upset was if he thought something happened to me but, I've never seen the way is at home without me.

Maybe it was all an act, the happiness.

Why would I get mad at him? I knew something had happened but I never thought it was his fault

That probably makes it even worse.

I need to go find him.

===============================

I hope you all liked the chapter and I'm sure y'all don't like the arguing but nobody has a perfect relationship... even Eddie and Hope.
