Oh Eddie Munson

It hurts

"So you just talk to Steve about everything now? And your not yourself around me, what does that even mean?" Eddie is mad. Really mad.

"Eddi-" I was about to say before he cuts me off.

"Also I love your snort. Steve is also right about how I am crazy about you. Why would I be fucking embarrassed to date you. How long have these conversations been going on for? How much stuff does Steve even know?" He practically yells walking towards us a bit.

"It's been going on for almost two months...and he knows a lot." I say and start to tear up.

"Two months! Two fucking months!! Why are you talking to Steve so much?" He yells and I flinch a bit.

"Because...ever since Steve and I "dated" we had deep conversations, and it makes me feel better. All the stress just goes away when I talk about my feelings." I cry and Eddie puts his fingers in my hair.

"...I think we need a break." Eddie says and I look at him.

"What?" I say and he looks back at me.

"I think we need a break from each other." He says back and I start to cry.

"Why Eddie? Why?" I cry and he sighs.

"Because once you learn how to be yourself around me, maybe I'll come back to you, but in the meantime I'm done." He says and walks away. I fall to the ground and cry. Steve holds me and comforts me.

Steve finally calms me down and we make it into the school. We go our separate ways and I enter math class, the one with Eddie. I see Eddie in the corner talking to Robin. "Hey yn come over here sit with us!" Robin cheers and I nod my head no and sit in the back corner. I feel asleep during class, so I didn't really know what happened, until the bell rang and woke me up.

I walk to my locker and open it. I bang my head on the locker door once and keep it there. I cry a bit and I don't give a damn on who is watching this. I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Go away." I snap and they tap again. "I said go away." I say and they finally speak up.

"Yn...what's wrong." It's max. I turn around she sees me crying. My mascara running down and my eyes all red. "Oh my gosh come here." She says and I give her a long hug. I cry during the hug and see Eddie walking in the halls starring at me. He opens his locker which is two lockers down from mine. Max pulls away from the hug. "What happened?" She asks and I fully break down.

"It's over Max. It's all gone. The memories, the laughs, the movie nights, it's all over and out." I cry and max looks over at Eddie. She gives me a nod at Eddie and I nod at her back.

She walks over to Eddie who heard the entire "over" thing. She slaps his face. "Good job bitch, you ruined the big sister I've never had(s) life. You're in for war Munson." She says and comes back to me. Eddie is holding his face from the slap. Max wipes my tears and comforts me. "Let's go to our next class, ok?" She says and I nod. We both walk away, making eye contact with Eddie.

We make it into Biology and we sit in the corner. Eddie is also in this class, but luckily Dustin is also it in. They both enter the room and Max flips off Eddie. She wraps her arms around me, and holds me the entire class. I made eye contact with Eddie a couple times, but just enough for me not to break down into tears again.

The bell rings and we both get up. Eddie and Dustin walk over to us. "Hey guys! Why didn't you sit with us?" Dustin says with a smile.

"Because we don't want to be around Eddie anymore. Eddie is to busy breaking peoples hearts." She says and grabs my hand so that we can go. I don't move and stay in the same spot.

"I want to say something." I say and Max lets go of me. I walk close to Eddie and we make eye contact. "This is my real self." I say and move my hands up and down. Eddie stays silent and Max and I both leave the room. I sigh and we walk to our lockers. I open my locker and see a photo of Eddie and I. I just want to rip it but I can't. I haven't had enough time with Eddie, especially when I thought he was dead.
