Snakes and spurs

Reader pov:

As you anxiously wait by the phone for Eddie to call, someone else dares to call your landline. Ever since you walked out on him the other night, you've been wanting to hear from him. You've only talked to Poppy, who's helped you get through your absolute heartbreak. You never knew how much you needed him to keep you calm till he was gone. Even though the caller ID said Julie, you picked up anyways.

"Hello? Y/N speaking," you answer. 

"Is it ok if Eddie surprises you with something today?"

"Sure, bu-"

"Ok thanks bye!"

She hung up before you could get details. You spent the rest of the day cleaning up the house and making yourself look nice just in case. 

Eddie pov:

Sweat dripped down my face as I stretched out along the couch at Julie's house. I hadn't talked to Y/N in two days. I was currently staying at Julie's because I didn't have the strength to walk into the post office and see all the cute drawings and crafts that Y/N had made me. I was just one sad, sad, sad man who had lost everyone who loved him. I couldn't walk to Howdy's or Frank's, they both were very angry at me. I was stuck in this stupid house. 

"Get up. Go shower. I can't have you on my couch forever," Julie demanded while making breakfast. 

I sigh and walk up the stairs. The guest bathroom was a little crowded, but I was going to have to manage. I figured doing my usual self care routine would make me feel better. First, I took a makeup wipe and cleaned my face. Then, I washed my face and such, making sure there was no leftover make-up or throw-up on my face or neck. I hummed a little tune as I worked. 

"Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks," 

That was a song that my papa used to sing to me and my momma every night before bed. It hurt to be away from them for so long, but I knew I would eventually see them again. Even if I really can't remember much about them. After I took my refreshing shower, I put on the only clothes I had, the ones from the bar. I headed downstairs to check on Julie. 

"Oh hon, you don't have any other clothes. Let's get you home and into something comfier," she said.

"But I don't wanna go outside," I whined. 

She dragged me through the neighborhood to my office. And, of course, almost every single neighbor was in their front yard. I kept my head down till I reached the doors, then put in my keys. I winced at the sight of a self portrait of Y/N. They were so unbelievably pretty/handsome. And now they can't even stand to look at me. 

"I'll be right back! Go get changed into something clean and semi nice," Julie guided. 

I get dressed and fixed myself a cup of coffee. While I was alone, the thoughts of the other night started to come back. The image of Howdy kissing Frank stuck out in my mind like a sore thumb. Even though I loved Y/N, I couldn't bare seeing Frank with anybody but me. I know I'm being super controlling, but I can't help it. I wanted them both so bad. But Frank was unrealistic. They'll never love me as much as Y/N. 

The bell on the doors rang in front of me. Julie came in with a big bouquet of flowers. A big smile creeped onto her face. I grew nervous.

"You know what to do with these," she grinned. 

"I don't think they want to see me right now," I replied. 

"Nonsense, I called them earlier. They've been dying to see you. Now get to walking!" she stated. 

I walked up to the door I know very well and weakly rung the doorbell. Y/N quickly opened the door. They looked beautiful, just so dazzling as they stood waiting for me to say something.

"Eddie, don't ever scare me like that again!" 

They rush into my arms. Then I realize I have so much to talk about. That ruined my moment with them to the lowest degree.
