It's Always Been You [Eddie Munson]

VIII

Eddie's POV

I was leaned against the wall outside in the garden, smoking a joint, taking in how huge the garden was, there were flower beddings everywhere surrounding a huge pool that was illuminated by bright blue lights, looking around until a figure stumbled across the lawn, swaying from side to side, I squinted my eyes trying to see who it was since Dean said nobody was allowed back here. The person tumbled their way to the pool and I realize it was Isabella, I pushed myself off the wall, quickly but quietly making my way over to her as she took of her boots and socks, putting her feet in the water and I could tell it was cold as her body became tense and she slightly winced.

"What are you doing out here darling?" I asked her, hovering over her and she turned her head, looking up at me looking up, "I'm exhausted." She smiled softly, looking back at the pool, kicking her feet around and making little splashes, i sat down next to her, crossing my legs and held out the joint for her to take. "I'm pretty sure this would make me die or something." She laughed, taking it from me anyways and only took one puff of it before handing it back to me. "You want me to take you home?" I asked her and she leaned her head against my shoulder which made me completely frozen the way I was, too scared to move or breathe loudly that would cause her to move her head. "I'm probably going to take a walk to sober up later on." She sighed, i knew she was getting tired as her head got heavier against my shoulder "You're definitely not walking home, half of the guys in there would be happy to kidnap you." I muttered mutters, blowing out the smoke I had in my mouth and she laughed lifting her head off of me to look up at me, "You think so?" She smiled and i nodded, if only she took notice how most of the guys were staring at her, not hiding the fact that they wanted to fuck her, I threw the joint in one of the flower beddings nearby after it had died, "Oh yeah, especially that Dean guy. " i mumbled and she took her feet out of the water bringing her knees up to her chest as she rested her head on the top of her knees, her hair framing her face with a few strands hanging in her face, i had to fight the urge to tuck them behind her ear.

"He's quite good looking don't you think?" She teases and i rolled my eyes, gently bumping her shoulder with mine. "Something to look at indeed." I mumbled, smiling as she laughed, leaning her head against my shoulder again, we sat there in silence for at least five minutes until I noticed how steady her breathing was, little snores coming from her. "Isabella." I whisper yelled, poking her cheek to see if she really was asleep, after several pokes and no response, I picked her up and got up from the floor, grabbing her shoes and socks, almost falling back into the pool as my one foot slipped out beneath me but I luckily found my balance and made my way inside, the house was nearly empty by now, a few drunken teens lingering around still dancing to the music that was significantly softer than before, I layed her down on a couch, shrugging off my jacket and tried to cover her up as much as I could, I wanted to put her socks back on as well but decided against it, she might think I was a creep.

I looked at her peacefully sleeping and felt a smile tugging on my lips. "Yo man, you can take her up to my room, she can sleep there." Dean's voice slurred from behind me, his hand on my shoulder and a bottle of vodka in his other hand. "No, I'm just letting her rest to take her home." I responded dryly and he let out a huff before making his way to the other stupid drunks who were dancing. I stood next to the couch, looking at her for a few minutes before Steve and some other girl came up to me. "Is she okay?" He asked me, a frown on his face as he looked down at Isabella, I could tell that he was drunk the way he was holding onto the girl for support. "Yeah, she passed out." I said and he chuckled, sitting on the edge of the couch, throwing Isabella's legs over his lap and motioned for the girl to sit next to him and she did. "See this is Isabella I was telling you about." He looks at Isabella, brushing the hair off her face and tucking it behind her ear. "She seems lovely, she's beautiful." The girl said and I stared at her, she looked familiar but I couldn't put a name on her face. "Oh Eddie, this is Robin, she works with me." Steve said, tilting his head up to look at me. "Nice to meet you, okay Steve can you stay here with her till I get back, I'm going to put her things in the car." I grabbed her handbag that I got from Evan earlier along with her socks and boots, quickly shoving past the rest of the people, making my way to my van.
