86 Baby This Is Our Year

Chapter 4- Run Away With Me Into the Night

Chrissy and Eddie song for this chapter,

Rihanna and Mikky Ekko - Stay

It had been a few moments since Chrissy had crash landed to earth again after the ordeal of almost dying in Eddie's trailer!

Through their shared embrace Eddie could feel Chrissy's heart pounding against his and her body was trembling so much that he felt like he was swaying slightly.

The poor girl Eddie had been carrying a torch for all this time was sobbing into his tee shirt uncontrollably and the only thing he could think to do was run his fingers through Chrissy's hair as he pulled her scrunchie off.

The scrunchie fell to the floor with a gentle thud but neither of them noticed as they were both far too consumed in the sensation of the other.

Now Eddie moved his chin to rest gently against Chrissy's head and he swept her even more tightly against his chest.

Eddie knew that she must be freaking out and he wanted her to feel safe until they could talk about this.

Hell even he needed some time to try and calm himself down to process all the crazy shit he had just witnessed.

That was how they both stayed for a few minutes before Eddie shifted slightly in to the hug when his legs started to go numb.

With the sudden change of movement Chrissy finally glanced up at him and the pain etched on her face was killing him.

All over her face tears had streaked a path across her flesh and Eddie instantly brought his hand up to brush them away.

This response from Eddie caused Chrissy to sigh softly at the contact as she began cradling his hand against her cheek.

In this moment Eddie felt fear, fear of not only what had happened but also the alarming fear of how much Chrissy Cunningham actually meant to him now!

This was probably the closest Eddie had ever come for falling for someone and that was also terrifying in a way!

In one day he had literally gone from just reconnecting with Chrissy for the first time in years to almost losing her.

That thought was now one Eddie didn't want to fathom and all he knew was that he would do everything in his power to try and keep her alive.

It had taken all this time until now for Chrissy to fully accept that she was safe from whatever the monster was hunting her in the nightmares.

The memory of the last few minutes was still very hazy due to the adrenaline pumping around her body though.

Chrissy had awoken with a violent jolt before she had tumbled to the ground and it had been a chaotic tangle of limbs at first.

For Chrissy it had just been natural instinct to wrap her arms around Eddie in sheer relief of being alive.

In retrospect she was pretty certain she was experiencing a full blown panic attack and every time she tried to speak Chrissy felt like she was choking and struggling for air.

Chrissy hated feeling this hopeless, she knew she should have stood her ground more to Jason and her mother but she had never been one to give up all hope!

Yet back there in the that nightmare realm Chrissy had literally been frozen in terror and if it wasn't for that song and the door it seemed to open Chrissy never would have got back here.

For a instant Chrissy had panicked when Eddie moved, she was worried that if he let go of her this safe refuge would fade away again!

It made her heart skip a few beats when her eyes finally met his as Eddie took in the sight of her beneath him.
