Hawkins high "freak"hearts

part 25: worse than hell

TW: a lot of emotional damage :)

You were  in bed for a while now, but you couldn't sleep. And this time the tears couldn't stop. You tried to cry as silent as possible so Eddie who was already asleep wouldn't wake up and hear you cry. But it was too late, a big sob woke his already weak sleep. He looked concerned as he saw the tear stained pillow under your head. ''Princess are you awake?''

You froze when you realised that you had woken him up. You whispered a small ''yea'' before hiding your face in his chest. Just pretending like you wanted to cuddle. He caressed your cheek and slowly turned your face around to face his. He saw that your eyes were puffy and red. He didn't say anything and just laid your head back on his chest and got closer to you, pulling you in a tight hug. His free hand started drawing circles on your back. A simple ''Were going to be fine, Max is going to be fine.'' Did the trick. You let soft sobs out and couldn't speak. But the silence was comfortable. The circles on your back made your muscle relax more and it helped you gently fall asleep in his arms.

The morning broke and was interupted by a Dustin barging into your room. You were still Eddie's arms and immediately remembered what had happened. ''Mom is coming upstairs!'' he screamed. Max ran into your room laying on the air bed that was still on the floor. ''You going to make me hide again aren't you?'' Eddie asked. And you pushed him off bed nodding repeatedly, even throwing a pillow at his head to speed him up. This time he choose the closet. He climbed inside and shutting the door. 

just in time as your mom knocked on your door, sweetly asking if you guys were ready for school. You told her to just come in and Max said her good mornings. You acted like innoncent angels, that you were. And said that Max would borrow some of your clothes and that you would drive to Lucas house for his basketball clothes, if he wanted to. You smiled and your mom closed the door again.

''How do make it look so easy?'' Max asked. You looked confused. ''You know lying to your mom like that. She's so sweet.'' You just shrugged and it pulled you down to reality how much you had been lying to your mom lately. And well she didn't deserve it but it was for her own good, right?

You knocked on the closet for Eddie to get out but it took him longer to respond. So you knocked again and pulled the closet open. Revealing an Eddie in one of your tops with your bra on top of his head. Making you and Max laugh. ''Weirdo.'' you said grabbing your bra back and putting it were it belongs. ''Max just grab something you like.'' pointing at your closet. Ofcourse she went for a basic tshirt and a vest, but keeping the same pants on that she wore yesterday. 

you were putting on some simple make up and you were interupted by Eddie that kissed your cheek. ''Are you feeling better princess?'' You looked at him through the mirror seeing him eyeing you. ''Yeah better. Thank you.'' He squeezed your hips. ''You can always talk to me.'' kissing the top of your head and sneaking into the boys room. 

You were wondering how you were going to get Eddie in school without Jason attacking him. But not letting him go to school would make him even more suspicious. Also you heard what everybody was saying, you couldn't be seen with him the entire day. It was going to be a weird day. It was going to be a hard day. 

You grabbed everything you needed, your cheer stuff, god you needed a good work out. You kissed Eddie goodbye who was first going back to his place before going to school. But not before promising that he would go and not do anything weird this last week. There would be a memorial service which you guys had to attend. 

You drove to school and the awkward silence that filled the car went away after you saw the police in front of the school. They were searching the car. You told Dustin to tell Eddie to not take weird stuff today. Stuff that would get him in trouble and come walking, because what teenagers owns a van, like are trying to be arrested. It's not like his band actually went out of town. You were stopped and asked to roll down your window, and you guys had nothing to hide so you did. ''Good morning officer.'' Since Hawkins is small everybody knows everybody so you recognised him imeddiately. It was the cop that lived two blocks down. Fairly attractive and young cop. Your mom had said before that when your out of high school she would do a good word for me. He would make perfect boyfriend material she said.
