"You have to hold your hands like this"
Eddie stood behind you as you held his precious guitar.
You had been begging him for weeks to let him teach you and he finally caved in. His hands were on yours as he gently readjusted your fingers to how they needed to be.
However,you just couldn't get it right.
"Eddie," you groaned "I can't get it."
You heard Eddie chuckle and he grabbed the guitar and hung it back up where he usually did.
"It's okay babe. Maybe you'll get it next time."
He kissed your temple and walked towards his bedroom door
"I'm gonna grab a beer."
Was all he said as he left the room.
You stood there for a second before turning towards the guitar.
You plucked at the strings and knitted your brows in frustration
"Why can't I figure you out."
Listening to your intrusive thoughts,you reached for Eddie's guitar.
You lifted it up but forgot to realize how heavy it really was and it slipped from your hands.
The sound of it snapping onto Eddie's bedroom floor sent a shiver of fear down your spin.
"Oh shit!" You cried out in shock "oh no no!'
You dropped down onto your knees and cradled the guitar as if it were a person.
You heard Eddie's footsteps get closer and you felt like you just wanted to disappear,sink into the bedroom floor until Eddie got over the guitar...but that's not how life works.
Eddie stood in the doorway and you watched as his beer bottle fell onto the ground.
"What happened?" He asked rushing over to you. He snatched the broken guitar from your hands and into his
"I'm so sorry I just wanted to hold it and get it right."
Without a thought,Eddie stood up and slammed the guitar onto the ground with rage.
"You already suck what would make you want to even try? Now I can't even play.''
His harsh tone and comment caused you to flinch. Tears filled your eyes and you felt your breathing get faster as he continued to angrily ramble about how mad he was that you destroyed something that meant more to him than anything.
You began to cry harder and your body shook from you trembling.
Eddie paused mid ramble as he seen you on the floor crying and shaking.
Eddie realized almost instantly that he was being a little too harsh and he crouched down. You were too busy trying to catch your breath that you hadn't even noticed him.
"Hey hey y/n," Eddie rested his hands on your shoulder as he talked to you in a soothing tone "I'm sorry I didn't mean it. You don't suck I do for acting the way I did." He cradled your face between his hands and you could tell he was crying now.
The coldness of his rings against your cheeks and his soothing tone made you relax and you could feel your breathing slow down
"I'm sorry I broke your guitar Eddie."
You whimpered but Eddie shook his head
"It was a accident,y/n."
Eddie pulled you into his arms and held you for a while. You both wiped each other's tears as you sat on his bedroom floor. You didn't realize how long you too had sat there until your eyes began to get heavy. Eddie's back was against his bedroom wall and you looked up to realize he had fallen asleep holding you for so long.
You still felt bad for breaking his guitar and knew you needed to make it up to him but for right now you were just gonna cuddle up closer to him and fall asleep too.
