Eddie x Gaege ~ A killer?

Chapter 14: The truth

I laid motionless on the bed and listened to the long beep signaling I died. The guy in the room turned the machine off and I stayed still, milking the moment. I wanted Eddie to suffer in this moment, because it's his fault. I let the drugs kick in before I sat up and paid the guy in the room. "Thanks dude, you all did good. Give the rest of the money to the people I owe." He nodded. "Thanks for calling us boss, we wouldn't want ya dead." He laughed and left the room. I smiled and glanced at the glass window. Eddie was staring at me shocked. I took the earpiece out that let me hear what he said while I was being 'executed'. He had said, "Gaege I'm so sorry. I didn't know this is what he wanted. I thought he was trying to help you, but I was so wrong. I should have never left your side that night!! Fuck I wish things were different! I love you so much and I'm so sorry!" I have to admit it made a smile spread on my face. I guess he does really love me. I got off the bed and opened the door, walking into the part Eddie was in. He backed up against the wall and held his hands up in front of his face. Did he think I was going to hurt him? "I-I'm so sorry Gaege." He simply said, his eyes closed, and he looked away. His hands were shaking, and his face had dry tear marks. This scene hurt my heart, but I would be lying if I told you I didn't want to beat up his ass. But I love him so much and would hate myself if I hurt him. My hand gently brushed his jaw, and I saw his body relax. My hand grabbed his hands and lowered them. I pulled him into a long kiss, one I had been waiting a few weeks to give to him. He instantly kissed back, more tears falling down his face. When we pulled away, he rested his head on my shoulder. "I thought you were going to die..." I rolled my eyes but wrapped my arms around him. "Who the fuck do you think your talking to? I'm Gaege fucking Gibson. I'll die on my own terms." Eddie didn't laugh, just squeezed me tight. My heart fluttered but I kept up my tough ego. "I'm gonna fucking kill your dad though." I said, Eddie stared up at me shocked. I shrugged. "Just kidding, I'm too high right now." I said, feeling the drugs that he gave me really setting in. "S-shit." My body slacked against Eddie, and he sighed. He slid down the wall with me in his arms and held me tightly, close to him. My legs rested either side of his body and I rested my head on his shoulder while we waited for the effects to wear off. 

When I felt a little more sober, I slid my hand around his waist, playfully. But I felt a cold metal in his waist band. I pulled out my favorite handgun I always keep by me. Eddie stared at me blankly. "What were you gonna do with this?" I asked, noticing it was cocked already. "Shoot everyone then myself." My heart dropped at the fact I made him feel like this but fluttered at the same time. "Babe, you don't have to do that." He shrugged and grabbed my waist. "I'm crazy for you Gaege, and I don't think I could live without you, again. Like I've already told you." I sighed and stood up, holding my hand out for him. "I love you, Eddie." He smiled and grabbed my hand. "I love you too, Gaege." I gave him my favorite gun back and took out the one from my boxers. It had been resting in the room, so I took it. "Let's get out of here." I gave him my gun because I knew I couldn't protect him from my job anymore, so I would leave him to do what he wanted, while protecting him in the process. I took my shirt off, ripping it up a bit and putting it over his head. "They know my identity; I can still protect yours." I smiled at him, and we walked out the room. We just walked out of the place and straight to the car outside, has my men sorted everything out for us. I wouldn't even have to worry about getting caught again. They closed the entire building down. They also convinced everyone to go out for drinks has I was finally caught and killed. We both got into the car, and I immediately fell asleep. I fell asleep resting my head on Eddie's lap. A good sleep I have been waiting a very long time to get.

I woke up in our bed. My body hurt and I was extremely cold. Side effect from the drug I took yesterday to stop myself from killing his dad. Eddie was sitting on the side of the bed, his back facing me. I sat up and stretched. "Morning." I said, kissing Eddie's cheek. He smiled at me. "Morning baby." There was a quiet gap. "Can I explain my side of what happened?" I nodded and sat cross legged. Usually when I fight with someone I forgive and forget immediately, depending on the person and what they did, but Eddie was different. He didn't just forget or hold grudges; he wants to talk things out. "My dad gave me some of your documents stating you had terminal cancer, I didn't want to believe it, but it looked so real. Being scared of this condition and my dad convincing me that you wouldn't go to the hospital. I felt stuck. He told me he could get you to the hospital, I just needed to tell him your location, which I did." He took a break, and I could see his eyes becoming glossy. "I knew as soon as I did it, I shouldn't have done it. They hurt you and tried to kill you. I felt sick to my stomach." His head lowered. "Gaege, I'm so sorry." I shook my head and hugged him from behind. "Eddie, it's fine. You didn't know and he tricked you." He nodded and wiped his eyes. "I don't have cancer by the way, where'd he get that idea?" I spoke, giggling. He chuckled a little. "Thank fuck." I giggled again and kissed his head. "And if I did, I would have told you. Anyways, let's get up." We both went downstairs and made some coffee. "Stop doing drugs." He said after handing me a mug. It was so random, but I guess he can put two and tow together. I gave him a confused look to try and trick him. "I found them all around the house and asked Luno to help get it all away while you were in prison." I sighed. "Awe fuck, Ed I needed that." I spoke in a pleading voice. He rolled his eyes. "No, you don't, but I need you though. And it would take you away from me, again." I hummed agreeingly but was upset he took it all away. I knew he was right, but I need it. He won't understand. My job is harsh, and drugs take the edge off. I suppose sex could be a substitute. And I can start dinking more. I took a sip from the warm liquid and relaxed. "This is so good." Eddie smiled and rubbed my back with one hand. "I'm glad." He then handed me a plate of eggs, bacon and toast and I quickly dug in. Prison food is shit, so I simply just didn't eat. Which made me loose so much weight. After we ate, I washed the dishes and went outside to see my bike was back where it belongs like I had commanded. I went back inside and sat Eddie down on the couch. "I need to talk to you about something." He nodded and focused completely on me. "I've realized I'll never be able to keep you away from the work I do so I'm offering you a spot." I watched him think then nod. "You can work side by side with me, but you have to leave your job. Actually, it would be better if you stayed in your work and give me information on what's going on." He nodded again. "But it is all your choice, once you go in though, you won't easily get out of it." I let him think for a bit, and he answered me. "I'll join your work." He simply said. "Besides, didn't you say I was already in danger just knowing you?" He added. No extended explanation or anything. I nodded. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." We both smiled and I added. "You can keep my gun; it can be your first." I wanted him to have my most favored one, because it is the easiest one to use and is special to me. I wanted Eddie to know I trust him, love him and care about him. He smiled and nodded once again. "I'll have to train you though. Not much since you are an officer but there's still so much you won't know." Eddie hummed. "I'm very willing to learn, Gaege." I smiled at him. For the rest of the day, we stayed in each other's presence, I explained more in-depth information about my job and what he can expect. We then went to the gym later on to workout, and I showed him a few things he can do.
