On the drive home, I slumped my body into the passenger seat. Eddie tried to make conversation but I was focused on the mirror, I released a black car had been following us for a while. Through traffic Hopper got cut off, but he still trailed behind us.

"Hey-hey take a right here." I said waving my hands towards Eddie.
"Huh?"
"Just do it." I said.

Eddie was confused but did it anyways, leaning forward I watched the black car continue straight.
"Oh.." I mumbled. "I thought someone was following us.

"You really think Jason is crazy enough to follow us from the police station?"

"I don't know what he is capable of." I mumbled, I watched Hopper follow behind us, when he stopped for a moment I saw his hands flare up in confusion.

Coming home a part of me was still anxious. I waited inside the car until Eddie walked around, opening the door I looked around. I knew Eddie would protect me if anything happened, I just wanted to be prepared.

My head snapped in every direction when I heard passing cars, Eddie walking, or the cat jumping off the couch. Every little noise sent me over the edge. I felt as if I couldn't catch a break. I wasn't comfortable in my own space, I wasn't even comfortable in my own body. My legs twitched, my eyes burned from the lack of blinking, darting around the room I noticed movement from objects my vision became distorted while I tried to calm down.

"Babe." Eddie sighed in annoyance. "Come here." I felt helpless while I took in Eddie's body language, his hair gently shook from his head while he opened the door.
We walked into the room, marching up to the window he pulled the curtains back.

"If you're getting anxious just come and look out here, Hopper told me he'll be here until six, then he said another officer will be here until the morning." He whispered behind me.

Nodding slowly I couldn't pull myself away from Eddie's eyes, at this moment they were a warm shade of brown, his dark lashes framed them perfectly

Nodding slowly I couldn't pull myself away from Eddie's eyes, at this moment they were a warm shade of brown, his dark lashes framed them perfectly. I felt a sense of relief when I looked outside. Hopper was in total view. I couldn't help but laugh as I saw him wave at us.
"Okay-I'm sorry." I muttered looking at Eddie.

"Don't be sorry." He smiled rubbing his thumb across my cheek. "I'll call Steve, see if he can bring us some food, and then food for the cat."

I heard Eddie tell Steve on the phone to knock a specific way when he came, so when I heard the knock I wasn't so anxious. The door creaked open while I stood in front of the window. Hopper paced back and forth in front of his car, I watched while he threw his head back, blowing out the smoke from his cigarette he waved at me before he went back into his car.

"Hey man thanks." Eddie said opening the door.
"No problem."

I walked out of the room, just expecting Steve a soft gasp fell from my lips when I noticed Robin walk behind him.
"Robin!" I shouted.
