This is OUR Year (Chrissy X Eddie)

〰️ Chapter 31 〰️

〰️ Chrissy's Pov 〰️

Spring break was over, and I my mind had yet ceased. Knowing the man who ruined my chance to perform and fucked me over mentally was still out there. And he had been stalking me. I wasn't comfortable away from Eddie or the comfort of my own parents.

The only way to soothe my mind was to listen to Eddie hum me to sleep. It was very rare, but it would help like no other. I spent my time smoking cigarettes out the window, making sure to use mint gum to hide the stench from my mother when I talked to her.

I had someone from each of my classes escort me from one class to the next, mostly Valentina, who just moved here from California, who was also looking for a friend to help her around her classes. She was telling me about this guy she met in her first block, which, I wouldn't know because I now pay little attention so I'm curious as to who it is.

" So," I prolong the 'o'. " Ya gonna tell me who this guy is? I mean, you make him sound like he's an angel." I put my hand on her shoulder and take back my backpack.

" Oh, you know, he's just really sweet. He just knows how to charm me." She dreamily crosses her legs and gazes up at the ceiling, a slight blush on her cheeks. " You may know him, you may not."

" Well, I would like to meet him soon." I smile at her and we walk into class.

Class ended, and it was time to go home. I hurriedly go to Billy's car, since Steve had gotten sick over the break, probably something from some girl. Max was already sitting in the backseat, ready to go home. Billy still had a bandage wrapped around his arm, it made him look sick. I patted the dashboard and he happily zoomed us down the road.

Billy dropped me off at Eddie's who was already outside smoking again. I took a bum off of him and then we went inside.

" Hey there, Good Looking," He smirks and steals a kiss from me. " How was today?"

" It was okay, Valentina kept me company."

We made our way to his room, and he played with my hair with the one arm he had. I had slowly fallen asleep.

     I was woken up by Eddie shifting and the ring of a telephone. I rubbed my eyes and wiped the stray hair out of my face. I got up and began to follow him.

     " No Michelle, you can't come over today. Chrissy is here." He talks hushed. I blink for a moment to see if this is real. Is he cheating on me? I stay behind him, so he can't see me. " Michelle I'm serious, and don't even try it. It's not worth it." He hung up the phone and turned around to face me, which, in his defense he didn't know I was there. If I could blow steam out of my ears to show how mad I was then that's how mad.

     " Whose Michelle? You side chick? You know what, I'm leaving. I don't need you to explain." I burst out and grab my bag on my good shoulder and head to the door, taking longer strides than usual.

     " No, it's not what you think-"

     " That's what they all say Eddie, God I should have known you were to good to be true!" I swung open the door, my arm throbbed.

     " She's my uncles girlfriend you have to understand!" He tried to keep up with me. I didn't look back I just kept walking.

      " So why is it important that I'm not there then, huh?" I yell while getting on the side of the road. I wasn't very comfortable walking down this road, but even if I was mad at Eddie I knew someone was there if it were to happen again.

     " Because he doesn't like anyone there when his girlfriend is there! Chrissy come on Princess. Please understand." He pleads behind me. If it weren't for his broken extremities, he would have caught up with me.

     At this point I could feel the tears well up in my eyes. " Please Eddie go rest. Leave me alone."

     Slowly but surely I heard the footsteps stop.

     " I love you Chrissy. And I don't know if that makes a damn difference to you right now. But want you to be able to trust me," by now I had stopped, still turned away from him," and I could never think of my world without you. I would let you stab my heart if I ever cheated. Chrissy, I beg of you please accept this as my truth. I cannot live without you." He stops to take a breath, I could feel the hot tears on my cheeks.

     " And I want to spend the rest of my living years with you. Even if it's early to say, I can't wait for the day I make you my wife." He is about to cry, you can hear it in his voice. I've never heard him be so sincere.

     " You're such a dork." I drop my bag and run to him, he enveloped me in one arm and kissed me passionately.

(Sorry y'all this is all way to dry and cheesy but I'm trying to find a good time to pick it back up again ily so much xoxo)
