Enemies, Mostly

Chapter 19

After leaving Eddie's Robin brought me home, she tried to get me to eat but I just couldn't. The simple thought of eating just made me sick. "I'm gonna go take a bath." I sigh pulling myself from the kitchen bar. My feet drag across the cold floor to my bedroom.

I couldn't bare to look at Robin anymore, I know she feels bad but I couldn't stand another sad look from her. I just couldn't. I turn on the low light in the bathroom instead of the bright over head light, my eyes hurt to bad from crying.

I reach down and plug the tub before turning on the water as hot as it will go. I reach for the boom box I keep in the floor starting the tape that's already in it, turning it as loud as it will go. I strip my clothes off leaving them in a pile in my floor. I sit down on the edge of the tub, pouring some bubbles in and turning the water off when it gets to the desired height.

A satisfied sigh escapes my lips when the hot water engulfs me. The bubbles reach up to my chest while I lay my body back against the cold porcelain tub. A new song starts and my heart contracts. Prisoner of your Eyes.

"Dance with me." Eddie said pulling from his bed. Prisoner of your Eyes blasted through the speaker in his room. I placed my arms around his back, his rested over mine and my head on his chest while we swayed to the music.

He leaned down to my ear, his lips barely grazed my lobe.

"As I was going under
You pulled me back to earth
Don't you hear me crying?
Take me in your arms again
Tell me that you're trying
Or is our love a lie?
Love is blind
And love deceives you
You came along and captured me
Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes
Trapped in time
I cannot leave you
I'm just a prisoner of your eyes"

He sang lowly in my ear running his hand up and down my spin. "Our song." He whispered.

"Our song." I repeated his words, I lifted my head giving him a kiss on the lips as the song played.

"You came along and captured me
Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes
Trapped in time
I'm just a prisoner of your eyes
Love is blind"

I sang the words softly with him my body completely relaxed against him.

As the songs plays, I smile thinking back to that day, the way we danced the entire day to different songs. Just showing each other how much we loved one another. It was beautiful.

We've had so many beautiful memories.

"Eds, I'm scared." I whined, clinging to his shirt for dear life.

"Don't be scared Mad, I'll be with you the whole time." He said with a soft voice.

"Okay." I winced squeezing my eyes shut as we walked though the doors on the haunted house. The lights flashed above us as a loud sound echoed through the building, I jumped against him. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this."

"Come on it's not that bad." He said as we walked through the maze. When we turned the corner a guy in a clown mask covered in blood jumped out at us, making us both scream.

"Not that bad!" I squeaked after we finally got away.

"I may have underestimated it, little bit." He snickered.

"You think?"

He laughed, we walked towards another turn. As soon as we rounded it a guy, in yet another fucking clown mask, came out from behind us with a chainsaw. I screamed at the top of my lungs as the guy got closer to us. Finally he started running, I did the only thing I knew to do; I dropped to the ground shielding my face while Eddie ran in the opposite direction.
