Eddie POV:
I kept my eyes on the road, letting the music drown out any thoughts I was having. This was the absolute fucking worst night of my life. I remember the day that I caught Chrissy with Andy, she had come over that evening to let me know where I stood...
"Eddie did you really think a girl like me would be with just one man?" Chrissy smiled sweetly, "I need to make sure all options are exhausted..."
"Chrissy... when you said yes to being my..." I couldn't even speak, my chest hurt.
"Oh sweet baby, I am your girlfriend, but I also have an obligation to myself. You want a progressive woman right?" She giggled as she came over, she kissed me.
I hate this.
I kissed her back and slowly she consumed me again, she knew all the places to get me to submit. Fuck. I like this.
Now, I wished that I had never felt like that. Why was I so intrigued with Chrissy? She was cute, but she wasn't beautiful, she wasn't Ellie. She hated my music, she hated my hair, hell... she disliked everything about me unless we were naked. So what the fuck is so great about her...
I turned to my passenger seat, Gareth sat silently, he didn't push, he didn't ask any questions.
Think Eddie. What can you do to fix this? Why did you even go outside with Chrissy, she can't be trusted...
You liked it... three words that I wish I could unhear, unfeel..

I heard Gareth sigh, we had been driving for a hour, I knew he had to take a piss, he was jumping slightly, "I'll pull over... you gotta go?"
"Fuck yea I do... sorry..." Gareth whined. His face looked like he was inconveniencing me, he had been drinking for hours, taking a piss is the least I could let him do, since all of the other shit was going on...
Ellie's grandmother... I fucking forgot all of that...
I am such a fucking loser. I pulled over the van and as the music dulled out and the van engine silenced something inside me finally broke. I had royally fucked this relationship up. I had jumped into this with her... I basically made it seem like I was in control... Ellie was right, I wanted her, but a part of me was wondering about Chrissy... maybe not her, but why I wasn't good enough for her.
