Find My Way Back [Eddie Munson x OFC]

Chapter Thirteen

Priscilla woke up the next morning to the sound of Robin bustling about and pacing up and down the hallway. She opened the door to see Robin grabbing various items from the bathroom and the closet in the hallway and returning back to her room every so often with said items.

"What are you doing?" Priscilla asked sleepily and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Did you forget?" Robin asked as she quickly walked past Priscilla again and started grabbing towels from the hallway closet. "I'm visiting my dad this weekend."

"Oh, shit..." Priscilla mumbled. She had forgotten. For the last week, all she had been thinking about was what she was going to do about Steve and Eddie. Robin's dad only lived right down the street. Priscilla didn't understand why Robin looked like she was packing for a four night getaway to a tropical island. "Why are you packing so much shit?" She asked.

"Dad can barely take care of himself since the divorce. I know he's not going to have anything I need so I have to bring it all with me." Robin explained, still hurrying back and forth from the bathroom to her room. "He's going to be here any minute to get me."

Priscilla started helping Robin grab some things to pack for the weekend and the hustle started to wake her up a little bit. Right as Robin zipped up her bag, the two of them heard a car horn sound from outside. Priscilla followed Robin down the stairs and into the kitchen towards the back door. Robin was half way out the door before she stopped and turned to face Priscilla.

"Mom's asleep and is working another overnight tonight. You'll be okay here by yourself?" Robin wondered.

Priscilla nodded. "I'll be fine, Robs. Have a good time with your dad. Don't worry."

"You gonna invite lover boy Steve over?" Robin wiggled her eyebrows. Priscilla scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I'm not saying don't invite him!" Robin continued. "You do whatever you want with Steve. Just put a towel down on the couch first."

"Robin!" Priscilla exclaimed. "I'm not going to do Steve on your couch. Go have fun with your dad this weekend. Everything will be fine here. Promise."

Robin nodded in acknowledgement before trudging out the door. She paused and looked back at Priscilla once more for just a moment. "Should I tell Eddie you're going to be alone in my house for the next couple days?" Robin joked, letting out a small chuckle.

"Get out of here, you bitch." Priscilla laughed, motioning her hand at Robin in a wave.

Robin kept her smile as she bounded down the wood steps of the back deck with her bulging luggage. Priscilla watched Robin for a few more moments, waved to Robin's dad and then closed the door with a small sigh. She made her way into the living room where she planted herself on the couch, deciding today would be a good day to watch and rewatch movies she'd already seen a thousand times before.

After a few hours and a couple movies, Robin's mom made her way into the living room, wearing her hospital scrubs and getting herself ready to go to work.

"There's some stuff in the fridge if you get hungry. Or if you want to order a pizza, I'll leave you some cash." Robin's mom offered.

"Oh, Mrs. B it's okay. You don't have to leave anything for me." Priscilla assured. "I'll be alright by myself."

Robin's mom rested her hands on her hips and sighed slightly. "Well, alright." She said, bending down to grab her work bag and slinging it over her shoulder. "My work number is on the fridge if you need anything, alright? And I put Robin's dad's number on there as well."

Priscilla stood from the couch and walked over to Robin's mom who stood in the archway that connected the kitchen and living room. She extended her arms around Mrs. Buckley in a hug and Mrs. Buckley wrapped her arms around Priscilla in return. "Thank you." Priscilla stated. "For everything. For letting me stay here all summer. For just... For being amazing."
