It's Always Been You [Eddie Munson]

XIX

Five days had passed and it was quite boring, Eddie and i have been spending as much time with eachother and Karen and Ted even allowed him to stay the night two days ago but of course with the door open and him sleeping on the floor on a couple of cushions, i felt bad for him so he ended up sleeping next to me anyway and Karen agreed to let it slide only because i was 'leaving the nest' too soon and she wanted me to come back and never leave her again. It was Tuesday afternoon and my flight was tomorrow morning at 06:30 am, Eddie was sleeping over again because he had agreed to take me to the airport tomorrow so that we could have one last date before i left, which was kind of cute but i wasn't going to admit it. I was seated on my bed, staring at the emptiness of my room and my suitcases that were placed in front of my doorway, ready to go.

I was quite sad to leave and i wasn't even hiding it, like yesterday morning i woke up earlier than everyone and sat in the kitchen hugging a cereal box while crying my eyes out, Karen probably heard my sobs and came downstairs to comfort me, both of us ended up laughing at my stupid melt down because it turned out i was crying because i was going to have no one make me breakfast and make sure i was eating, or the fact that i would wake up with no one to tell me that i should have a nice day. "Isabella Rose Wheeler, get your ass down here." Nancy screeches from downstairs and i rolled my eyes, she never screamed but lately she enjoyed screaming my name. "Yeah that's my name, don't wear it out." I muttered as i walked down the stairs, earning Mike and Dustin to snicker at my comment, totally grossed out that they knew what i meant by it, i knew they knew about sex and all that, but i preferred to see them as some nerdy innocent teenagers. "Steve and Robin is ending their shift now and we're all going out for the day, even if we have to drag your lazy butt out of this house, you can not refuse since you're leaving us here." She said sternly, her hand on her hip as she pointed to he front door and i rolled my eyes, "Nancy, if i could I'd fit you in my suitcase and bring you with me." I said tiredly,  "Hey! You said that to me!" Mike protests from out of the living room and i chuckled,  "Yeah Mike, I'm telling everyone that because it's not actually possible." he just flips me off before continuing his argument with Dustin, "Don't make me prove you wrong." Nancy warned, a smile on her face and i just shrugged, softly bumping into her and she laughed, pushing me back.

After spending the entire afternoon with Steve, Robin and Nancy, i was extremely tired and just happy to be in bed with Eddie, my head layed down on his chest with his arm around my waist, holding me close to him while the other was stroking my hair, often placing soft kisses on the top of my head which was pure bliss and brought so much comfort to me, i almost fell asleep. "I didn't plan to be this attached to someone." I mumbled, snuggling even closer to him, "Oh, so you're attached huh?" I could honestly hear the smirk in his voice and as i lifted my head, looking at him it was confirmed, the boy had the most smuggest of smug smirks I've seen, staring back at me with a certain spark in his eyes that i couldn't exactly pin point but it made his eyes seem so much brighter than it usually was. "Indeed i am, to the guy i least expected it to be, i should thank Mr.Higgins for making me tutor you." I smiled, placing a soft kiss on his lips which made him smile. "If i had to be completely honest with you, I've watched you since your first day, kind of in a creep way." He grinned and i raised a brow, genuinely confused but then i remembered how we actually first met, he offered me a drive home. "Oh so you were a creep that was following me, that's how you knew where i was going to be when you first drove me home." i gasped, swatting his chest and he slightly winced, a laugh escaping his mouth.

"No Isabella, but then yes, i never thought i would tell you this because i never thought we'd ever be something but i actually learned your practice time and changed my D&D games to that specific schedule and when you would walk home, I'd often drive pass you, but that wasn't planned okay, it was just a coincidence and that day i felt bad for you walking home in the rain." he said as if it was the most normal thing to say, "You were stalking me Munson" I scowled and he rolled his eyes, throwing me off of him. "I liked what i saw, so i made sure to see more of it, i never followed you around, that would be stalking." he kisses my forehead, resting his head against mine. "Why didn't you ever talk to me?" I questioned and he shrugged, leaning away from me, positioning himself so that he was laying flat on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.  "I was sure you wouldn't want to talk to me, i'm the freak afterall, Eddie the banished." he smiles, flicking my forehead before pulling me back on top of him.
