Teenage Dirtbag {Eddie Munson×OC}

Chapter 6 Never Say Never

Bex sat out on her porch swing listening to her parents argue inside after Hopper came and dropped the bomb about what happened last night. They were arguing about whose fault it was that it even happened in the first place and Bex's father really hurt her feelings by blaming her for taking the drink in the first place because he didn't raise her to go to parties and drink. He also told her that with the way she dresses he was surprised something like this hadn't happened sooner. When she wasn't in the cheer uniform Bex thought she was very modest about the way she dressed. She didn't like everything she owned just out there for the world to see. So what her father said crushed her. She wiped a tear from her eyes and pulled her legs up and let her chin rest on her knees.

The door opened and slammed shut.
"Sheesh.." Hopper said and looked at Bex.
"I don't blame you for walking out back there." He said and sat down on the swing next to her.
"If I could sleep out here I would..." Bex replied. "I don't know what I expected...but I did not expect that."
"As a father...I couldn't imagine saying the things that your father said to you in there. Not once did that man ask if you were okay." Hopper said. Bex looked at him and how angry his eyes were.
"Are you okay Rebecca?" He asked.
"Yeah, I mean if Blaire wasn't there this would have been a totally different situation. So, I'd say I'm okay. I'm frustrated with my parents, especially my Dad. But he's always been like that, I don't think he has any respect for women." Bex said.
"Based on what I've seen today, I'd wager you are right. Anyways. I have enough to make the arrest Monday, just warning you in case he tries to talk to you while he's being arrested.
"Thank you.." Bex said.

"And..in case you didn't know, what happened to you last night was not your fault. Teenagers do stupid shit like throw parties at abandoned resturants and drink beer until they puke. Sometimes teenagers do really stupid shit and try to drug their date..or in your case, person they would have liked to be their date." Hopper said. "The way you dress doesn't put you at fault for someone else's actions. Hell, you could have been running around in their in your underwear and it still wouldn't have been your fault. The one and only person at fault is Luke. and I don't give a damn what your father says."
"Thank you." Bex said and gave him a little smile.

Bex heard a vehicle pull into the driveway and looked up. It was Chrissy's car. They usually hung out every saturday. Bex was still mad at her for lying about what she was doing at the game last night.
"I'm going to go, if you need anything do not hesitate." Hopper said.
"Thanks. I'll see you around." Bex said.
"See ya kid." He said and walked down the walk way greeting Chrissy halfway.

Chrissy walked up to the porch.
"Can I sit?" She asked.
"I guess?" Bex shrugged. Chrissy sat down.
"I heard what Luke tried to do..I'm really sorry."
"Don't be. I'm sure half of the school knows now." Bex said.
"Okay..what's wrong Bex? You seemed like you were mad at me at the game so I gave you some space, but it feels like you're even more mad. What did I do?" Chrissy asked.
Bex stood up.
"You lied to me Chrissy. I saw you with Eddie." Bex said. "And before you try to lie again, I already talked to him. I know you bought weed from him."
"This, right here is why I didn't want to tell you." Chrissy sighed.

"You've had this whole secret friendship with Eddie for years. You're my best friend. You could have told me. I don't care if you buy weed from him. I realized I had no right to criticize you or him for that, and then turn around and go to a party and drink beer. . It just seems unlike you Chrissy. I thought we could tell each other everything!" Bex exclaimed.
"I was worried you would judge me Bex. Jason is so against drugs that I thought you would be the same. Its just with my mom constantly pressuring me about my weight...I needed something to help calm me down so I'm not freaking out every day and I noticed Eddie selling, and approached him. We became good friends." Chrissy explained.

"First off, you know I am not my brother right? I wouldn't have been mad if you had just talked to me first. If its something that helps you I'm all for it Chrissy because you're my best friend and I hate seeing you when your anxiety gets bad." Bex said.
"I'm sorry Bex. I shouldn't have lied and please..don't be mad at Eddie."
"I already gave him a piece of my mind..and then felt bad about it. Please..just from here on out no more lies."
"I promise. No more." Chrissy said and stood up."Hug?" She asked.
Bex nodded and held her arms out. Chrissy hugged her.
"I hate our fights." She said.
"Me too." Bex said. "If we are going to be completely honest with each other...theres something I wanna tell you."

Chrissy pulled away from the hug with a look of concern.
"Of course. What is it Bex?" She asked and sat back down on the porch swing and pat the spot next to her.
Bex sat down and sighed heavily
"I think I'm trouble Chris." She said.
"What do you mean Bex?" Chrissy asked.
"You have to promise me you won't tell Jason..or anyone. It has to stay between us."
"Of course Bex, you're kind of scaring me here." Chrissy said. "What is going on?"

"When Mr Jones asked me to be Eddies tutor.. I didn't expect to develop feelings for him but I did." Bex admitted.
"Is that all?" Chrissy said with a relieved chuckle.
"Is that all??" Bex exclaimed. "The entire town thinks he's in a satanic cult, including my brother and my parents. There is no way in any world this could end in happily ever after Chrissy. But I don't know what to do...I could stop tutoring him, and go back to the way things were...but somehow even thinking of that makes me feel like my chest is getting crushed. I don't want to not see him, not talk to him, not see that goofy ass grin when he thinks he's being funny. I don't want to bury these feelings either but I don't know what else to do. My parents would never let this happen and Jason.. Jason would probably kill him if he found out."
