Meant to be / Eddie Munson

Chapter Ten : Party

Saturday 28th September 1985

Steve dropped me off home last night and I couldn't stop smiling, I couldn't get the kiss out of my head. It was 11am and I had just gotten up, I went downstairs and mum had gone shopping and Dustin was still at mikes. I grabbed the phone and dialled Eddie. After a few rings I expected no answer when "uh hello? Eddie speaking" even the way he answered the phone made my heart flutter. "It's y/n Steve's party tonight 8pm be there" I said very seriously. "I don't do parties y/n" he said in a raspy voice clearly he had just woken up too "I don't care I want you there" I said very sternly before he even had a chance the respond I heard a girl in the background "Eddie baby? Whose that?" It was Chrissy. "Oh Nevermind" I said and hung up. That kiss clearly meant nothing.

I got dressed into sweats and a vest and dialled Steve's number "hello". "STEVE! It's y/n I got more news can you grab Robin and pick me up please" I said in the verge of tears. "Of course" he said as I hung up. I ran up to my closet and grabbed a few different outfits for tonight and my make up bag and went to wait outside for Steve, having a cig whilst I waited at the same time my cig got the end Steve and Robin pulled up and so did.. oh no Eddie.

I made eye contact with Eddie then Robin, Robin was looking between us both. I quickly pegged it for Steve's car and got in as Eddie started walking to the car "DRIVE" I yelled and Steve quickly backed up and sped off to his place "Jesus Christ y/n/n what happened ?!" He yelled back still speeding. "I'll explain everything when we're back I promise" I said checking behind me to make sure he wasn't following.

We finally got back to Steve's and Robin helped me take the outfits in, we sat down in the sofa my head in Steve's lap and my feet on Robins. "So like he kissed me right and then I rang him this morning to invite him to the party thinking hey maybe we can sort this then I heard CHRISSY IN THE BACKGROUND CALLING BABY" I said calming starting to yell towards the end. "Chill out yelling" Steve said as he started to play with my hair "honestly y/n he's not worth it" Robin said rolling her eyes. "I know" I said rolling my eyes it was 12pm so we stuck the tv on some comedy channel and just talked and watched tv.

*time skip to later that night*

It was 6pm Steve and Robin were setting up the house for the party and I was in Steve's staring at the clothes in the floor trying to decide I had my long (h/c) hair down and curled and I have mascara with clear gloss on to go with any outfit I pick.

Steve and Robin came into the bedroom an hour later to get ready and I still hadn't picked an outfit. They looked at each other then me and both picked up my outfits to choose for themselves, they ended up choosing a black mini skirt with a Metallica shirt that I tucked into my skirt with some ripped fishnets and black ankle boots. "This wasn't even an outfit I put together" I said looking at myself in the mirror "I love it" I added turning round to look at them, they both smiled and got ready themselves.

It was officially 8pm and people started rolling in, I never left Steve and Robins side, I was always with one of them at all times. It got to 9pm and I was on my third beer and holding Steve's hand as my anxiety had started to rise at the amount of people piling in and the music was raving, when I looked over to see Eddie. He was staring at me holding Steve's hand and I was staring at him holding Chrissy's.

I turned it Steve and whispered in his ear "Eddie and Chrissy are here" he turned his head to see Eddie still looking at us holding hands "wanna dance?" He said smiling at Eddie. "Yes please" I said trying not to look at Eddie, Steve took me out to the middle of the room where everyone was dancing and started dancing with me. "You're my best friend Steve" I said basically yelling cause how loud it was. "You're my best friend too" he said as he pulled me in for a hug. Robin come running over and joined in with out hug dance "we're like the 3 musketeers of best friends" she said laughing which made us laugh.

They both started dancing together and I smiled, I felt brave enough to go to get a drink by myself knowing I have them when I need them. I walked over to the punch bowl and grabbed a cup. "Y/n?" I heard a familiar voice and it was Eddie again. "Hi Eddie" I said smiling, there's no point with the pettiness anymore, I'll never move on otherwise.

"Can we talk privately?" He asked he gave me them puppy eyes which made my heart sink, I grabbed his hand and lead him over to Robin and Steve. "Steveee ima use your bedroom, not for anything dirty but mr Munson wants to talk" I laughed which made them align Steve nodded in acknowledgement as I gripped tighter onto Eddie's hand and led him into Steve's bedroom and locked the door behind us.

"Mr . Munson?" He said trying not to laugh.
"What's up Eddo?" I said I was quite tipsy but still sober enough to cringe at what I said.
"I want to talk to you" he said as he grabbed my hand again "about what? Sleeping with me then believing a bellend ins the as of talking to me then getting with my BEST FRIEND ?!" I said deaths staring him but before he could answer I interrupted again "or was it kissing me last night making me believe we could be something again and then when I call you to invite you to the party I hear Chrissy in the back meaning she was there the night" I crossed my arms as my eyes started to water..

"Y/n please?" He said his eyes watering too. "Eddie you was the first person I trusted since moving here and Chrissy. I gave you my fucking virginity!" I said as the tears started falling out my eyes and I couldn't stop them. "You gave me your virginity ?" He said eyes widened. "Yes I gave you my fucking virginity and this is what I got in return!" I went and sat on Steve's bed and just stared at the floor. The door was still locked and Eddie came next to me "I wish I spoke to you and Chrissy was never there that night, I can't get out of the relationship now and I really want to I want to be with you" he said trying to hold my hand "I don't want to be with you Eddie" I said moving my hands away. "But we can be friends" I added as I crawled back on Steve's bed and laid down. "Friends?" He said you could see in his eyes there was a glimmer of hope, "for now" I said as I grabbed him and pulled him down with me. We laid there I sunk my head into his chest whilst he had his arm around me playing with my hair this felt perfect.

*Eddie's POV*

We was laying there her head sunk in my chest falling asleep this felt right... this felt perfect I played with her hair till we fell asleep on Steve's bed.
