It's Always Been You [Eddie Munson]

VII

I made my way up the stairs, holding onto the railing to help myself from not tumbling back down, as I left the basement I made my way over to the table, seeing the punch was finished made me sad and I grabbed another cup, pouring in vodka and cranberry juice, I walked out the back door and into the fresh wind, the cool wind against my face made me feel better, less nauseous than before and my head stopped spinning, I noticed how big the yard was and walked towards the pool, I sat on the edge of the pool, taking of my boots and leggings, putting my feet into the water, wincing at how cold the water is.

"What are you doing out here darling?" A familiar voice said and I turned around, looking up to see Eddie towering over me. "I'm exhausted." I smile softly, kicking my feet in the water watching it splash, Eddie sat down next to me, his legs crossed, passing me his joint. "I'm pretty sure this would make me die or something." I laughed, taking it from him, only taking one puff of it and handed it back to him. "You want me to take you home?" He asks and I leaned against his shoulder, "I'm probably going to take a walk to sober up later on." I sigh, almost puking at the smell of my own breath, it reeked of alcohol and Marijuana. "You're definitely not walking home, half of the guys in there would be happy to kidnap you." He mutters, blowing out the smoke and I laughed, lifting my head off of him and looked up at him, "You think so?" I smile and he nods, throwing the remaining of the joint in one of the flower beddings nearby. "Oh yeah, especially that Dean guy." He says as I take my feet out of the water, bringing my knees up to my chest.

"He's quite good looking don't you think?" I tease and he rolls his eyes, bumping my shoulder with his. "Something to look at indeed." He mumbles and I laughed, leaning my head against his shoulder again, I felt completely tired and my eyes were slowly starting to close as the tiredness overtook my body completely, it felt as if I was swallowed in by the darkness.

"Bella"

Go away.

"Isabella!"

I felt my body being shaked and I groaned, flinging my hands in the air to stop whoever was trying to disturb my peace, my hands were on someone's face, I traced my hands down until I covered their mouth. "Isabella, you really have to wake up." Eddie groaned and I finally opened my eyes, lightly slapping his face and he removed my hands from his face, holding them. "What time is it?" I exclaimed, sitting up straight now fully awake. "It's like Midnight." I took in my surroundings and noticed I was lying down on the couch, still at Dean's house, a few other people passed out around me. "Oh shit, fuck where's my shoes?" I jumped up off the couch, searching through a pile of shoes and purses on the floor. "I put your things in my van, and your handbag that Evan had." Eddie says and I look at him, "Thank you, really." I gave him a heartwarming smile and he stood up, I noticed how tired he looked. "Why didn't you go?" I ask and he shrugged, putting on his jacket. "Well I wasn't going to leave you here, Dean already said you can stay in his room." He got the keys out of his back pocket, slinging his arm around my shoulder and we made our way out the house and into his van.
