Chapter 21 - Insecurities

Tysm to 80schickgal for the idea!!!!

Chrissys pov -

It was just like any other normal day at school. Boring, Jason being a brick like alway, and surprisingly no homework.

But there was one thing that was off....Eddie. he was speaking less and was keeping his distance from me and his hellfire friends.

He even said he couldn't drive me home, that Nancy would! Something was really off. I never asked Nancy because I figured he was joking but.. right after school ended I went outside and his van was gone.

I presumed he was cheating so I stormed to his trailer. When I got there, I heard shuffling coming from his room. I quickly went back thinking he was cheating but when I walked in... he looked... different. "Ed's?" I questioned confused.

"Hey Chrissy, you think I should try to get on Jason's good side and get on the basketball team?" He questioned looking at me.

"Wh.. what no, are you crazy! Baby, what happend to your tattoos and your clothes? Sense when do you wear a polo and where is the bandana that is always in your pocket?" I said confused, a bit of annoyance in my voice.

"I... I just wanted a change, that's all!" He stated as he set my make up brush down. I grabbed a make up wipe and wiped the makeup off where his tattoos normally are. "St...stop Chrissy, your gonna ruin it!" He shouts in a frustrated tone.

"First off, you don't use my makeup unless I'm doing it for you or you are practicing eyeliner!" I shout, "Second, why are you covering the most stunning part of you! Your not my Ed's without those tattoos sweetheart..." I trailed off.

Eddie store at me for a minute before I saw tears come into his gorgeous chocolate colored puppy eyes. "Ed's.. wh.. why are you changing yourself?" I exclaimed.

"I... I... I don't know!" He sobbed as he started to break down, wiping his hands on his eyes to try and stop the tears. It didn't work.

"Baby.. please tell me what's hurting or upsetting you." I pleaded as I stood there sad and confused.

"I.. I thought that I... if I could ..o ..or if I was like Jason that... that people would wanna be my fr... friend and I wouldn't be known as the fr.. freak of the town and th... that I would be... good enough for you." He whimpered out as he put his hands over his eyes and continued to sob.

I stood there in shock. Why did he think he needed to be like the dude who was abusive and popular?

I walked over and hugged him. His head went into the crook of my neck and he hugged my waist. I put my arm around his waist and ran my fingers through his hair.

"Eds, baby, you are more than enough for me." I whispered as tears started to form in my eyes from seeing Ed's so beat up about this. I kissed the back of his head, his body untensed just from my touch.

I walked over to the bed and sat down still hugging him."Eddie, look at me baby." I whispered as I grabbed his hands. He didn't look so I put my hand on his cheek and gently lifted it up. He looked into my sky blue eyes with his dark chocolate brown eyes.

"Eddie, you are more than enough for me, okay? Your tattoos are apart of you that makes you, you. Your lovely brown, wavy hair, makes you, you. Your style and music tastes makes you, you. Ed's, your stunning personality is the reason I fell in love with you, apart from all the other gorgeous things about you." I expressed, his sobs died down into low whimpers and sniffles. "Baby, the last person I want you to end up like or be like is Jason, he's the real freak in my eyes. I love you and only you Eddie. Your my sweetheart. You are worthy of my love and always will be enough. Eddie Munson, don't ever think your not enough for me because you are everything I could of asked for." I expressed, his lip quivered as he smiled a little bit with a couple more tears falling.

I let go of his hands and grabbed both sides of his cheeks. I kissed him passionately yet gently. His lips lingered of smoke smell and tasted like cherry chapstick. He kissed back making the kiss deeper. I pulled away and looked at his puffy red eyes.

"What do you wanna do baby?" I questioned as I took my hands off his cheeks.

"C..can you just hol.. hold me? Please." He pleaded.

"Of course I can my sweet Ed's." I smiled at him. He smiled back a toothy grin. "There's that sweet smile." I giggled, he only smiled bigger.

We layed on the bed, his head in the crook of my neck as I played with his hair. He placed light kisses on my neck and then stopped after a little while.

"That feels nice." Eddie said as he calmed down and started to fall asleep. "I love you Chrissy." He mumbled from the crook of my neck.

"I love you Eddie Munson." I stated as we both fell asleep.
