New Beginnings

Road Trip

I groan softly when I stir from my sleep, grunting softly when I feel the unfamiliar sheets beneath me. My eyes snap open and I jerk awake in a panic, looking around me with wide eyes. Where was I?! Was I dreaming?! Was this some kind of sick joke?! I try to kick the blankets off but freeze when someone yelps after my foot connects with something solid. I slowly look beside me with wide eyes at the man sitting up next to me rubbing his eyes.

"You alright? That was a pretty good kick," He mumbles, giving me a smile.

"Wh-What?" I stumble out, blinking as I slowly regather my surroundings. "O-oh......yeah."

"Relax, he's not mad," Venom says, popping out from Eddie's shoulder. "It's okay to panic when you've gotten used to the same place for ten years."

"I'm really out of there," I breathe softly, smiling when Vemom nuzzles my cheek.

"Yes you are," Eddie chuckles softly. "I'm going to heat up some porridge. It's from the store so not the most flavorful but it's bland enough not to upset your stomach which would be good."

"We'll work our way up okay?" Venom tells me. "We need to make sure you're not getting sick by doing too many foods at once."

"It's okay, I know," I tell them with a smile. "I.....did make a new drug after all."

"See?! Told you she understood!" Venon declares proudly. "Y/N is a genius!"

"H-Hardly!" I protest with wide eyes and flushed cheeks.

"Here, I need to make a phone call. I'll be right outside," Eddie says with a gentle smile. "You eat up. We've got a long road trip ahead of us."

"We shall be in soon!" Vemom declares, he and Eddie stepping outside after giving me my food.

I stir it around with my spoon, not having an appetite but I knew I needed to eat. I sigh and take small and slow bites, careful not to push myself when I start to feel nauseous. I jump in surprise when the door is slammed open all of a sudden, my eyes wide as I stare at an infuriated Eddie. I sink lower into the bed and bunch up my blanket in hopes to better conceal myself. Eddie doesn't even look at me as he gets into a pair of jeans and a nice dress shirt, running a comb through his hair. I tremble as I watch him clutch the handle of his comb, being as quiet as possible as I ease out of the bed I was in. I crawl into the corner and curl up, my entire body trembling as I bite my hand to keep myself quiet. Just wait it out. That's all I had to do. Just wait it out.

"Eddie, calm yourself! I know you're frustrated with them but don't scare Y/N!" Venom barks out.

"They act all cruel and then want to play friends?! Heaven forbid I ruin their reputation," Eddie barks back in response.

I hold my breath, the door opening and slamming shut, rocking the entire room with it. I tremble hard and tears fall down my cheeks, holding my messy hair as I begin to panic and hyperventilate in my spot. Was it me?! Did I do something?! He left in such a hurry! Was he leaving me here?! He left all his stuff but that didn't mean he wasn't just going to abandon me here! Would Doctor Mengele find me?! Would I be taken back?! I'd likely end up losing my legs. I needed to get out of here but I didn't know where HERE was! How was I going to do this on my own?!

Eddie's Pov

"EDDIE!" Venom snarls once they're inside the truck, smacking his head against Eddie's nice and hard. "Go back in there and apologize!"

"NO! She'll stay put! I don't want to take my anger out on her!" Eddie snarls back, shoving Venom away. "It's better if I deal with this on my own! I need to leave. We're an hour from Anne and Dan."
