Jaded affection / Eddie Munson

48. Positive Sign's

WEDNESDAY

We're half way through this week and I'm sitting in my 2nd period class , creative writing. The teacher is talking about our finals already since they are weeks away they want us to be prepared. She wants us to start thinking about it now since she wants us to write a short story. So she's going through everything she will be looking for in it. We can write the story about anything we want so that makes me happy. I right down what she is saying so I'll remember it later then place my pencil down. I already know what im going to do now so I don't really feel like taking any more notes.

I look out the window of the classroom and watch the clouds roll by. It looks nice out right now but I know the weather was calling for thunderstorms later. I hope thats when I home. I love thunderstorms but id rather be at home snuggling in close to Eddie, listening to the rumbling of thunder then be here.

Im pulled from my thought by the bell ringing, so I gather all my stuff up and leave the classroom. As I'm walking down the hall I pass Paul and Derrick who just start me down. Paul licks his lips and I shiver in disgust and keep walking to my class. Every time I see him now I'm even more paranoid that he's going to try something. I wish officer Barker would call and let me know whats going on even though its only been a few days since we have talked to him. But they have been looking into my moms accident since it happened so I don't get why they really have nothing. Its driving me nuts just waiting.

I get to my math class and take my seat. I cant wait till lunch only 2 more classes to go after this one, well one more since one is a study hall.

When the lunch bell rings I head straight to the cafeteria. I see Dustin, Mike, and Lucas already sitting at our table so I start to head right to them but when I start moving Jason steps in front of me blocking my way so i have to stop moving.

"What do you want Jason?" I say annoyed
I watch Jason's eyes shift from side to side really quickly then he looks back to me. "Look you need to be carful ok." He says in a low tone.
"Are you trying to threaten me?"
"No no, just giving you a little heads up."
"Wait what? why do you care." I say confused.
"Just be carful, you and your friends."
"Ok, again this sounds like a threat."
"No I... Just um.... never mind." He says a bit flustered and walks away.

What the fuck was that? Just then Eddie comes up from behind me.
"Hey princess, what was that about ?" He asks me.
"Um, im not really sure but it seams like he was trying to warn me and my friends."
"What like a threatening warning?"
"No just a normal warning, to watch out, I dont know he seamed a little on edge."
"Probably just trying to fuck with you." Eddie says putting an arm around my shoulder i nod my head and we walk over to our table and sit down. Everyone is eating and chatting and already talking about the weekend when Eddie turns to me.

"Oh hey my uncle called while you were in the shower this morning and wanted to see me since I haven't been home so I was going to go home for a few nights. I'll come back Friday after school."
"Oh ok, yeah thats fine I know he misses you and it will be good for both of you to get some time together."
Eddie smiles and kisses me on the cheek.

I can't help but start to twist the ring Eddie gave me on my finger. Thinking of being alone for 2 night is making me nervous and what the fuck, why im 18 years old and scared to be alone. I use to be alone a lot when my mom would be working and never once did I have a problem with it. How fucked up am I? Im starting to wondering if im depending on Eddie to much. I know im a strong woman and I need to get her back. All the shit thats going on I can get through it alone if I have to. I need to remind myself that. This will be a time to prove it to myself that yes I am still that strong woman.

Lunch soon ends and the last 2 classes go by fast and when the bell rings Eddie and I head to his van.

"Are you heading right to your trailer then?" I ask
"Yeah after I drop you off of corse."
"Im going to go see my mom, I feel bad I haven't been there in a few days." Eddie reaches over and rubs my thigh. "I mean I know she doesn't know if im there or not but I know."
"Its ok babe." He says giving my thigh a squeeze. I sigh and the rest of the drive home is silent. When we get to my house Eddie parks and looks over to me. "Are you going to be ok while im gone.?"
"Ill be fine Eddie I know how to take care of myself you know." I say getting a little annoyed.
"I know you do I just wanted to make sure. If you need anything call me."
"Dont worry about me, you probably need a brake from all the drama anyway."
Eddie gives me a more serious look now catching on to a bit of my sass, Shit.
"Ed, im just joking relax." I say trying to play it off as a joke even though I believe its true. My life's a mess I wish I could get a brake from it.
"I dont think your joking but I know you are a Strong woman so im going to let this slide this time."
I lean over and give him a kiss. "Say hi to your uncle for me." I say getting out of his car.
"I will, love you."
"Love you too." I say and shut the door. I walk to my car and grab my keys out of my bag and see Eddie drive away. Just as I was going to open the car door I notice a police car parked a few houses down from me and pointing in my direction. I can see someone in there but they are to far away to really know who it is. It makes me feel a little weird since I've never seen one of the officers parked on my street before. I shake off the feeling and start my car and head to the hospital.
