{Tattoos and Music} (A STEDDIE FANFIC)

The visit

Eddie sat on the swing alone, the cold Autumn air blowing his short curly hair in his eyes, his shoes were scuffed up and dirty, the creaking of the swing was the only thing to be heard as he was alone on the playground, in his hand a bloody tooth that had fallen out. he smiled weakly, putting it into his pocket before jumping off the swing, the small 6 year old boy made his way to the graveyard, he picked a few wilted daisy's on the way before stopping, two gravestones lied in front of him,

eddie smiled, setting one flower down in front of each grave before pulling out a half flat PB&J out of his bag, he sat down, crossing his legs as he stared at the ground for a minute, "Hey mom and dad, today was pretty normal like everyday, Uncle left this morning and ive had the house to myself...he came back the other night and he smelled bad, he gave me this" The small boy pulled up his sleeve, revealing a cut with a bruise around it, and a small dinosaur band-aid on it that barely helped.

 "it still hurts a lot but im a big boy and i bandaged it myself!" he finished his sandwich and looked up at the bland, grey sky. "i miss you guys, its not the same without you, uncle dosent play games with my like you did mom, and he dosent take me to the arcade like you used to dad..." he laid back on the ground, between the two graves. 

"But im tough, im 6 now" he held up his fingers showing numbers with a smile, he pulled the tooth out from his back pocket and held it out "i lost my tooth! isint it cool?" after a moment of silence a few warm tears ran down his face, onto the ground. he sniffed looking down at the ground "why cant you guys come back?! i miss you..." he sighed, standing up 

"Goodnight mom, goodnight dad..."

 he walked off, his head hanging low as he headed home, his uncles car wasn't there so he guessed he was still out, the small boy opened the fridge and grabbed a juice box, uncle never lets him watch TV when hes there so he watches it when hes gone, eddie didn't feel like TV through, he walked into his room grabbing a stuffed lion, he hugged it tightly before setting it on his bed, he brushed his teeth and got on his pajamas, he closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep but the longing feeling for a mother hugging him and kissing him goodnight wouldn't let him rest, the sound of his dad reading Jack and the Beanstalk to him was faint and only a memory....he would do anything for his family back, anything it took, he just wanted them, nothing else...
