*Back to Jade's POV*

The car ride back to the lake house was awkward, I wasn't sure what happened but the last thing I remember was the car accident, everything else seems to be a blur, up until I saw Chrissy. I knew it was her.

I looked over at Eddie, he kept his eyes on the road ahead. I'm not sure if we ever got passed our argument. But it was nice to know that when I came back to focus he was still there. I felt awful leaving the way that I did. Maybe if I had stayed we would have worked passed it, I wouldn't have been on that road that night. I wouldn't have

I wanted to talk to him about what happened before I left, I was just unsure of what to say. I wonder if he still hated me.

I'll admit, I lost myself when I was fighting Chrissy. I wanted all this pain and torment to end. I couldn't handle it anymore, it was driving a stake through my relationship. I was unsure at this point if Chrissy really wanted Eddie or she wanted the satisfaction of separating us.

Looking out the window I saw the road where it happened. I felt a pain in my stomach looking at where my car laid. We took Eddie's van back to the lake house, my head turned slightly looking back at my car. I'm not sure how I survived. It was completely flipped over into a ditch.

I love you Eddie Munson... the last words I said to myself.

I looked back at the road, but my eyes lingered to mirror while I saw my car slowly fade into the darkness.
"No more two car shit." I laughed nervously looking at Eddie.

His eyes swept to the side to look at me only for a moment, but then trailed back to the road.

"Back to where it all happened." I laughed while Eddie and I walked into the lake house.
"Yeah..." Eddie mumbled closing the door behind us.

"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Uh.. what do you remember?" Eddie said slumping his body onto the couch, his hands traveled up his face. I assumed Eddie was exhausted, by the way his words mumbled out of his mouth.

"That you and I got into a bad fight, then I left...I got into an accident, and then some how we ended up back at my moms house and Chrissy was there." I explained nodding my head along.

"Wait what." He snapped sitting up. "You don't remember what happened between the accident and us being at your moms house?"
"No..." I mumbled.

"Are you sure you're okay?" His questions began to startle me. His hand wrapped around my face looking into my eyes he moved my head side to side.
"Yes. What happened?" My brows dropped while I became skeptical of what happened.

"Babe, you lost your memory. You were in a coma for like three days."
"What the fuck." I laughed nervously. "No way."

"Jade. Seriously. You woke up and had no idea what happened to you, who I was, who your mom was. Everyone came to see you. Dustin, Mike, Robin, Steve and Nancy."
My chest grew warm with the thought of how many people cared for me. It began to hurt realizing I didn't remember any of this.
"We had to take you back to your moms house because we didn't know where else to take you. I told you a bunch of memories but it only came back to you when you saw Chrissy." I watched as Eddie's eyes pooled with tears. I felt sorry that I had no recollection of what happened.

"You'd still love me even if I lost my memory.." I whispered leaning close to him.
"I did! I literally did. You lost your memory and I still was in love with you!" He cried out.

"Okay!" I laughed, I wasn't sure how to talk to Eddie at this point. "Did we ever get passed our fight?" I asked.
"Nope. If you want to live the timeline before the accident we are still fighting." He sighed lowering his body more into the couch. I took a moment to think about what I was going to do, Eddie looked exhausted. His eyes hung low but I was sure there was plenty on his mind.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked softly.
"Yeah actually." He sighed sitting himself up.

"I've never experienced a life or death situation... I knew in my heart I wanted to protect you. If I had to do it again, I would. Im not sure why I aimed my anger towards you. I was angry with myself, I felt as if this was all my fault." Eddie barely kept this eyes on me. "I'm just upset because I felt like if I told you about the whole Chrissy shit earlier this wouldn't have happened."

"Eddie, Jason was going insane. That... had nothing to do with you. If it was the other way around I would've gone out there to protect you. The first time you hooked up with Chrissy it was way before you and I so I couldn't get upset about it." I said softly trying to get his eyes to meet mine.
"We can only move forward from this, but I'm just upset that you said you hated me. Nothing that Jason or Chrissy did compares to that..."

"I know." He cried. "Im so sorry that I said that to you, I never meant it. Please, trust me on that. I love you more than anything in the world, when I saw you laying there in the hospital bed... I barely ate, I barely slept. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I tried to convince myself that I didn't lose you." His brown eyes met mine, filled with tears I tried to hold back mine. I couldn't imagine the stress Eddie must have gone through.

"I'm sorry Eddie.." I mumbled.
"Don't be sorry love, it's not your fault." His nose sniffled while he wiped a tear from his cheek.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry that I left that night. Thinking back on it, something told me not to. I only realized right before my accident." I whimpered. "Before everything went back the last thing I thought about was you..." I whispered holding back tears.

Eddie wrapped his arm around me, pulling me into his embrace he let out a deep sigh. My heart shattered at the sound of his muffled sobs. My hand gently rubbed up and down his back, trying my hardest to reassure him we would be alright.
"I'm just glad to have you back." He whispered.

"Let's get married." He said looking into my eyes.
"What." My eyes grew wide.

"Yeah- come on. Jade, I can't imagine my life without anyone else, I mean fuck. I almost lost you. I want to get married." He explained with a smile on his face.
"Eddie-"

"Come on..." he whispered with pleading eyes, I wasn't saying no but I was unsure if this was exactly what he wanted to do.
"We have to save money for a new place, I mean we can't live in Tom's lake house forever." I laughed looking around... it was a nice place. Open windows allowed darkness to flow through.

"Ok-" he said standing up, I watched Eddie walk through the living room looking for something.
"What are-"
"Hold on!" He said.

Eddie came back to the couch with a piece of paper, he gently ripped it into a small long piece. I watched as he rolled the paper up, folding it over itself he tried to fold it into a circle. I laughed at the sight of Eddie's tongue slowly poking out the side of his mouth. He often made that face when he was focused on something.

"Here." He whispered holding up a paper ring. I heard his heart beat through his chest, I could tell he was nervous. His hands twitched holding the delicate paper ring. Eddie got off the couch, getting on one knee he sat in front of me. Looking up at me with his brown doe eyes I let out a soft sigh, I couldn't believe this moment was happening.

"Jade," he whispered. I felt my heart beat began to race. "Will you marry me?" He asked.

"Yes." I nervously laughed. Despite every thing that has happened to us, through the years.. the fights.. the issues with Chrissy and Jason.. there was no hesitation in my answer.

My heart skipped a beat while Eddie placed the ring on my finger, his eyes looked up at mine, I watched his pupils grow bigger, he leaned over me and pressed his lips against mine. I felt a shock run through my body while my hands twitched. My heart felt as ease knowing we had gotten past our awful fight. I couldn't risk loosing Eddie, and the reassurance he couldn't lose me either sent me over the moon.

"I love you.." he whispered.
"I love you Eddie." I whispered back biting down on my lip.

Story note:
I was wondering if I should do a face reveal for Jade. She is a character based off myself, I changed the name and some background traits but overall, her humor, looks and personality are based off myself. A lot of her struggles are my own. I'm proud of how the story is coming along.

Let me know if that's something that sounds interesting!!!
