86 Baby This Is Our Year

There She Goes

Eddie's Song: Tal Bachman - She's So High and There She Goes: The LA's

The second that Chrissy felt Eddie's van pull into her street she could feel her stress levels going through the roof.

All those horrific memories from that waking nightmare earlier all came flooding back and Chrissy was really worried that there was a chance she could find her parents dead!

At least her brother Alexander hadn't been there in her nightmares as he was sleeping over at a friends tonight.

With a sudden jolt Chrissy felt her entire body jump up in surprise when Eddie gently tapped her on the shoulder.
Chrissy hadn't realised that the van had actually pulled into the curb.

Or the fact that she was gripping Eddie's other hand so tightly that both of theirs had started to go a little white from the cut off circulation.

Eddie raised up his free hand in apology like he had earlier in the day in the forest.

How did that feel so far away now?
Chrissy thought to herself that all those moments in the day felt like a whole lifetime away.

"Man I seem to have a habit of making you jump recently... sorry to scare you sweetheart... I just wanted to say we are here."

"Plus I'm concerned if I left you daydreaming much longer one of us might lose a finger with that vice like grip."

Eddie uttered softly while leaning in slowly to brush a strand of hair from Chrissy's cheek that had fallen when she had jumped in shock.

Chrissy realised then that her scrunchie must have been left behind in the trailer but that could easily be replaced.

Trying her best to relax a little more Chrissy gave Eddie a small smile as she loosened her grip around his hand before quickly darting her eyes to look around the neighbours house.

Chrissy turned round back to Eddie as she looked him over, it was clear that he was worried about how on edge she seemed.

"It's ok, I was a little lost in my mind and sorry about the hand Eddie."

"That's ok Chrissy, its nothing I was more worried you might hurt yourself if you kept that up."

"I think you might have a little indentation of my rings on you're flesh for a little bit but they will fade."

Eddie didn't share the fact that seeing her skin imprinted with the symbols of his ring was sexy as hell, as well now really wasn't the time.

He felt like that image though would definitely be tattooed on his brain for all eternity though!

Perhaps it was just a natural primal instinct to want to mark Chrissy as his is some way even if she was still dating someone else.

Now there was a pause again in their conversation Chrissy took a moment to survey the street again once again to see if it was safe to get out now.

Everything seemed in order and it was the normal level of silent for this part of Hawkins Town.

The lights were off in her house which Chrissy supposed was a good thing.

If anyone did come across them it would definitely make things more complicated as their stories of where they were staying for spring break might come undone.
It was the kind of street where neighbours loved to gossip and it would definitely be fed back to her family if Chrissy had been seen sitting in van with a metal head!

Leaning back towards Eddie Chrissy began to whisper softly as she didn't want anyone any neighbours to hear them .

"Mmmm.... Eddie will you do me a favour after I go to put my letter in the mailbox?"
