Wrong Time | Modern Eddie Munson AU

Chapter Two

I sat on my bed, pulling my phone out my heart sank at the sight of my lock screen. It was a picture of Billy. I placed my phone down, closing my eyes for a moment just wanted to breath.

Last night was a blur, after Ellie had left we continued a couple games of pool. I don't remember much of how I got home. But Eddie assured he just took me home the way he promised.

Ellie was right, I did need to leave Billy. This wasn't healthy, this wasn't who I was anymore. I took another moment to breath. Picking my phone up I quickly unlocked it. Opening Pinterest I decided to scroll through.

I came across a decent wallpaper, black with butterflies. In a way it spoke to me, I had always liked butterflies. But something about flying freely. No care in the world, being seen as something beautiful... it really spoke to me.

Change starts today, I saved the photo, immediately changing to to my wallpaper I felt good. I felt confident. I knew what my worth was, and I was going to leave Billy.

I wasn't sure if I would ever see Eddie again. This change wasn't because of him. Well, maybe it was. I'm not sure, it was like something had sparked in me when I looked in his eyes. But I also felt like I was done with Billy for a while.

*Flashback*
"Why do we always have to argue" I asked throwing my hands in defeat.
"Because you have a horrible fucking attitude." His spit spread across my lip.

"Do you ever thing to wonder if something is wrong with me?" I asked as my eyes pooled with tears.
"Yeah, there is something wrong with you." He was quick with his response.

"You don't even tell me you love me anymore... or that I'm pretty... or anything nice." I whimpered softly.

His blue eyes shot in my direction, piercing into me I felt instant regret at the truthful words that spilled out.

"Billy."
"Enough. I don't want to fucking talk about this anymore."
*End of Flashback*

I knew that was the end of Billy and I spent the next couple of months trying to figure out how exactly I was going to do this. Something in my brain has switched and I figured I would have to be the one to end things. Maybe I was scared, but who wouldn't be. He had intimated me enough to hold back my thoughts.

I mostly spent my time crying to myself, planning on how exactly I was going to do this. It wasn't until I saw Eddie, that I knew I needed to be free.

Maybe it was his tone, or the way he spoke. Or his confidence... there was something luring about him. Maybe it was his charm, or those brown eyes.... Or his deep voice.

I snapped myself back into reality at the sound of my door creaking open. I sat up and smiled.
"Hi Billy."

His intimidation filled the room. I felt as if I had to make myself presentable every time he was around. I stood up from my bed, trying to brush the wrinkles off from my pants, fixing my hair I looked at him.
