The Happy Ending

Part 6

Eddie drove you home as you had requested, this time though the car journey was a little awkward. You had a million thoughts running through your head and you guessed Eddie just didn't really know what to say as he hadn't uttered a word since you both got in the van. The journey felt like forever but you finally arrived home.

Eddie shut the engine off and turned towards you, 'Sweetheart, please talk to me' he asked. You looked over at him meeting his gaze. The sadness in his eyes hurt you, but you honestly  couldn't give him a straight answer to any question right now. 'I'm sorry Eddie' was all you could get out before you opened the van door and stepped out. Eddie didn't say anything more, just looked at you with those big glassy eyes as you closed the door and walked away.

As soon as you got inside you broke down, tears steaming down your face as you sunk to the floor. Processing these emotions would have to wait until tomorrow, you couldn't even think straight right now, and so you got ready for bed and cried yourself to sleep.

You woke up the next morning, with swollen eyes and a headache, feeling like the biggest fucking idiot in the world as you reached for the glass of water on your nightstand and a couple of painkillers. You felt miserable, but the problem wasn't Eddie, or in fact it was Eddie but not because he was a bad person, not because you did something you didn't want to do. No, Eddie was perfect, the date was perfect, the kiss...that kiss had felt so right, the most wonderful thing you had felt in a long time. And that was the problem. Your emotions had gotten the better of you and all those thoughts that had gone through your head in the days before had turned out to be right. You hadn't healed yet from what Andrew had put you through and you feared you never would. You were scared, Eddie was perfect and after just one date and one kiss you could feel yourself falling for him, and it scared the absolute shit out of you. You couldn't help your mind from spiralling

What if we get together and he cheats on me, what if he breaks my heart, I can't take that again, what if I waste another 3 years of my life on someone for them to just hurt me again.

You decided the best thing to do to take your mind off it all was to call Robin.

The next thing you knew Robin and Steve were both knocking frantically on your front door. You had broken down again on the phone, barely able to get words out for tears and choked breaths. So Robin had hung up, drove to pick up Steve and headed straight to you.

You had barely unlocked the door before they both barged in, Steve immediately wrapping his arms round you while you sobbed into his shoulder. 'Hey hey hey' Robin soothed bringing her arm round your shoulder as you let Steve out of your grip 'Tell me what happened'. 'If Munson so much as touched a hair on your head I swear to God I'll kill that motherfuc....' Steve began pacing in your living room. 'No no, nothing like that happened, Eddie did nothing wrong' you interrupted him, sinking yourself down into the couch. 'Then what happened y/n, talk to us' Robin asked sitting down beside you and placing a comforting hand on your knee.

You had just about managed to pull yourself together and stop crying although your eyes were still swollen and red. 'It was perfect...' you began. Both of your friends looked at you in utter confusion. 'It was me...it was perfect and I...I freaked out and now I've ruined everything' your eyes began welling up again. 'No..no you haven't, it's okay' Robin said rubbing her thumb over your knee. 'I have...I didn't even explain myself, I barely spoke to him after, my head was all over the place Robin'. Steve had stopped pacing and plopped himself down on the couch on the other side of you pulling you into his side., 'It's because of Andrew isn't it?' 'Yeah...' your voice was small and weak as you sniffled. 'We get it...he didn't a number on you...you don't trust Eddie won't do that to you?' You replied with another weak 'yeah...' 'okay...' Steve began, 'I know I just said I was going to murder him but...Eddies not like that, he really cares about the people he loves' Steve took a deep breath before he continued. 'and...I shouldn't really being sharing this because it's not really my place to tell you but...Eddie nearly died for us a couple years ago, he as good as took a bullet for us, or several for that matter...he is thee most selfless person I have ever met he would do just about anything to protect the people he cares about and that extends to you now' you looked up at Robin and she nodded confirming what Steve had just said. You ducked your head into your hands and the tears spilled out all over again.
