One Night and Forever

I'm Jealous

*You're getting ready for your date with Billy. You wear jeans and a nice tshirt. You tie Eddie's bandana into your hair like a headband. You look at yourself in the mirror wondering why you're doing this*

*For some reason you get a little bit nostalgic and go to your closet and pull out the framed photo of you and Eddie. You look at the picture and remember how alive you felt that night. How he made you feel. He probably thought you did it because he is a famous guitarist. But that's a lie. The minute he kissed you something woke up inside you. Fireworks were felt. Hearts opened*

*You sigh sadly knowing it'll never happen. Once his name is cleared he gets his life back. He'll be back on stage shredding the guitar. He'll forget all about you like he did before. It's no use trying to make anything of this because it could never happen*

*You still have some time before your date so you go to the storage room and pull out your guitar. You go back to your room and sit in your bed. You haven't played in a while but thinking about Eddie and your night together has made you want to play again*

*You make sure the guitar is tuned and ready to go. Soon you start to strum and make sure it sounds right. You completely forget you have Eddie in your house. As you strum the strings you also start to sing "Dancing With Our Hands Tied"*

I, I loved you in spite of
Deep fears that the world would divide us
So, baby, can we dance
Oh, through an avalanche?
And say, say that we got it
I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted
Oh, 'cause it's gravity
Oh, keeping you with me

*Eddie hears you and makes his way to your door. You're so engrossed in what you're doing that you don't notice him leaning on your doorframe. He thinks you play beautifully. And your voice is soft and angelic. He waits until you're finished then he clears his throat*

"Shit! Eddie! How long were you standing there?" You jump slightly not expecting him to be there. And you see him standing there in your doorway with biggest smile on his face. You feel warmth spread over you seeing him smile like that. You wished he smiled more

"Long enough to know you just got insanely more attractive knowing you play guitar" He stays in the doorway not wanting to make you uncomfortable. He knows he's got the biggest smile on his face and he doesn't want to stop. You bring this out in him. Even in his darkest time. Being accused of murder you can still make him smile

*Your stomach does little backflips and you can feel a swarm or butterflies in you*

"Your dates here by the way. I heard his car" He says a little softer gesturing his head towards the front of the house. He feels a little sad knowing you're going a date and it's not with him. But he was also the one who said to go on the date. He doesn't want you to go but he also doesn't want to keep you from living your life

"Thank you!" You quickly brush past him and head for the front door. You stop before opening the door as if you were waiting for him to ask you to stay

"Eddie?" you say softly. You're not even sure he could hear you so you wait

"Yeah?" he answers you. He heard you. And he's right behind you

*You turn around and look at him in his eyes. You see so much emotion in them you don't know which one to hold onto

"Remember don't answer the door for anyone, stay out of sight and please don't be too loud. Cant have you getting caught" You plead with him. You want him to be safe

"I will remember all of those things" he promises. He sees in your eyes the concern and worry you have for him and his well-being

"Okay good!" you flash him a quick smile
