This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 26 〰️

〰️ Eddie's Pov 〰️

A/N: I have been sooo busy with geekdcon this weekend, but I'll be dressed up sunday as Chrissy and I'll be walking around with a gem eddie so if you see me don't be a stranger! :) as always love you guys :))) <3

     Chrissy hadn't let go of my hand the whole way to the hospital, and it had been calm. Finally someone who understands my silence. The guards and the nurse at the prison said since I was being released it didn't matter if I went to the hospital after my release. Basically telling me I didn't fucking matter to them or whatever.

     " What can I do for you Baby?" Chrissy kept asking me with a small smile on her face. I looked at her and winced.

     " Just be here Princess. That's all I ask if you." I reply and she nods. She tries to assess me the best she can, scanning around my body. Every time she found something new, she would frown even more.

     I got admitted in quickly, with the prisons referral. Chrissy still wouldn't let go of me, which I didn't mind.

     One of my forearms were broken, and my collarbone. Next was the shin bone, and a few ribs. Of course I had bruises and cuts and they bandaged them up. I was put in a boot so I could still sort of walk, and a sling.

     We walked out and Chrissy was trying hard not to cry, but you could tell it wasn't happening. She silently cried next to me and I tried my best to help her but I was so tired. I closed my eyes and went into a nap.

     I then had a nightmare.

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

     Eddie began to twitch in his sleep, small words coming out of his mouth. By now we were almost to the trailer.

     Suddenly he grabbed the headrest to the passenger seat and shook it violently. I surprised, and now determined to wake him up. " Hey Eddie?" I whisper and shake his shoulder. He then proceeds to whip my way and reach to my neck quickly. Once he reached it I let out a yelp and he paused. His eyes were slowly starting to open, and his hand slowly retracted to his own lap.

     " Chrissy? What's going on? Are you okay?" He asks frantically, trying to reach me with his bad arm and he hissed.

     " I'm okay Eddie, what happened? You didn't seem like yourself, did you have a nightmare?" I ask and he purses his lips.

     " It was a nightmare... Thank god." He breathes out and covers his eyes.

     We reached the trailer and I ran around the car to help him out. His uncle helped by opening the door and making a spot like he did not so long ago to me. " I'll call the school and see what we can do about this, I don't think it's wise for you to go back. Not until you walk that stage. I'll see if Chrissy can just bring your work over and you turn it in with her also. If that won't be a bother to you kid." He says to me and I nod, agreeing that's the best plan of attack, he's to weak if someone wants to just jump him. Especially being that Jason's posse always has a target on his back.

I got everything done for him and let him have the container of casserole I made him before I went to go get him. It slipped my mind after I heard what happened.

     Me. Wayne had left the room and Eddie grabs my hand, looking at me solemnly in the eyes. " I had the craziest nightmare Chrissy. I thought I lost you." He croaks. I shake my head.

     " It wasn't real Baby. Don't worry I'm still here." I brush his crazy hair with a comb and he still shakes his head at me.

     " The- the men who attacked me said they would kill you if I didn't comply and I just-" he paused for a moment " I just thought I would lose you so I killed them. And, and it felt good. Chrissy it felt good! Why do I feel that way!" He whisper screams, trying not to let his uncle hear. I just look at him, unable to give him the answer he wants.

     " Baby, I don't know. I think you need to talk with someone, okay?" I say behind him as I put his hair in a little bun. He hung his head down and mumbled.

      " I will Chrissy. But just for you."

     After a while I said my goodbyes and began my trek home. It was an eventful day, and I didn't want to bother Mr. Wayne with a ride. It was dark, and it was quiet.

     I heard a car pull behind me and I became paranoid. Who just pulls up behind a girl. I heard the car still running, but the door had opened and slammed. I began to walk faster towards a  streetlight.

     I heard a grunt and heard the footsteps become quicker, and I broke into a sprint. If cheerleading did anything, it thought me endurance. I began to cry for help and I heard the man getting closer.

     He grabbed my shoulder and I yell, getting tossed into the grass next to the sidewalk.

     " You listen here you little bitch, I'll make you pay if you run away again. I could hear his belt become undone and I squirmed around, his boots held my arms down. I began to yell again but he kicks my shoulder. I heard a small crack and became silent. The pain was so unbearable I had no voice left. I became dazed.

     " You get away from her fucker!" I hear someone yell, another man. The man on top of me was suddenly off of me and I sit up immediately. I began to cry and scoot towards the sidewalk. I saw them tussle and thrash in the grass, barely visible by the streetlight a few yards away.

     The grass was itchy under my legs. I almost just got assaulted. I began to heave and sob even more, sound coming out of my mouth now. My shoulder was throbbing and I held onto it for dear life.

     I was so focused on my shoulder and the grass I didn't notice a hand under my armpit lifting me up. At first I thought it was the man so I began to cry out, but the man shushed me.

     " Heh hey Sweetheart it's ok I got you." He says soothingly. I look up and see a bloody Billy, picking me up from the ground. I began to cry even more, knowing I was safe at last.
