Eddie turns around and we start making our way to his trailer. I used to go there a lot and play guitar duets with him along with smoking. That was back when we were friends. Really good friends.
As were driving towards his house i start dozing off. Staring out the window as my eyelids get heavy.
"You okay?" Says the boy. I jolt up looking at him. "Me? Oh, yes im fine" I say, still feeling the alcohol.
Were about 15 minutes away. Im staring out the the car when some strange thing runs across the road.
"EDDIE! LOOK OUT!" I yell. He hits the brake extremely hard, whip lashing the both of us. The car starts spinning then comes to a stop. My ears are shot. A loud ringing noise is all i hear. I look around the car and see Eddie resting his head on the steering wheel. It doesnt look like hes moving.
My hearing goes back to normal. "Eddie?" I shake him. He doesnt move. "Eddie, wake up please?" Nothing. I get out of the car. I stand for a minute looking around for whatever we almost hit. Nothing. Just some big rustling through the trees. Something making me feel weary. I go to the drivers side door and open it. Unbuckling Eddies seatbelt, I drag him out and lay him on the ground.
"Eddie, Look at me. Please" My eyes start tearing up. "Eddie please. Dont die on me" I check his pulse, Still beating. Thats good. I start shaking him viciously. "EDDIE WAKE UP!" I yell.
Finally, his eyes flutter open. He looks around groggily. Then looks at me surprised. "Danielle?" "Yes im here Eddie" I say with relief. He sits up. "What happened?" "Something ran across the road and we almost crashed. C'mon, we need to get you to a hospital" I say. "No, No hospitals. I'm fine. Lets go" Eddie says standing up. "A-Are you sure? You really did a number on yourself" "No, im okay"
He looks at the car. Nothing wrong with it. Surprisingly. "Did you still want to come over?" He asks. Just then theres more rustling in the trees. We both jolt our heads to the direction. "Eddie" Pause "I think we should leave" He looks at me and we both speed walk towards the car.
When we get in he quickly starts it and were off.
"Okay. What the FUCK was that" I say. "I dont know, but whatever it was i dont like it" "Eddie i dont want to be out here anymore" I say wearily, if anything, that sure sobered me up. "Im driving as fast as i can okay?!" He snaps. "i-i didnt mean it like that" I say innocently. "Im sorry, Just stressed" "Its okay, Lets just get to your place"
About 10 minutes later we show up at his trailer. We both get out of the car and he opens the front door for me.
"Sorry about the mess, Maid took the week off" He smiles, picking up trash. "As if" "God i missed this place" I say looking around the living room. "Place missed ya too" He sheepishly smiles.
I walk towards the direction of his room. Still looks the same. Smells the same. And his guitar. His beautiful guitar. He walks in the room closing the door.
"I missed her" I wink pointing to the guitar. " A real beauty isnt she" He says, kissing his fingertips and strumming the guitar."Should we talk?" I ask. "About what?" He asks, joining me sitting on his bed. "About us. What happened to us?" He scoots to the backboard of his bed and lets out a sigh.
"We were both idiots that didnt know what we wanted. I wanted you to be more then a friend to me. You wanted just a close friendship. You wanted Billy" He looks at the ceiling. I scoot back to sit by him, Keeping my distance.
"We both fucked up. I got drunk and said things i shouldnt of said" The boy says looking at me. "Im sorry Eddie. I was afraid" "Please dont apologize. I dont want this soppy shit where we cry to eachother about dumb shit. We both fucked up. And now were here. We start over?"
