"as long as I'm with you" ~ Eddie Munson

chapter 5 "Saturday night"

It's Saturday evening and you've been preparing all day for the party, worrying about what to wear or how much makeup to put on. Now you stand infront of your mirror, you are wearing a thingt black dress with lace sleeves and a belt around your waist. There's chains hanging down from the belt.
For makeup you chose a place smokey eye and red lipstick. You breathe in calmly one more time, put on your black highheels say goodbye to your dad and walk out the door. Eddie was already waiting outside, he would be taking you to the party, you would meet the others there. He smiled when he saw you "Hey beautiful " he said with a grin on his lips.
"Hey Eddie, ready to go?" You reply. He nods and opens the door for you to get in and so you drive off to the party.

When they arrive at Chrissys house it's pretty obvious the family has a lot of money. Their house is huge and has a big garden. Y/n and Eddie see the others outside and walk over to them. Happily they said hi and went all inside, y/n heading straight for the bar to get a drink, Eddie right behind her. "I definitely can't handle this shit sober" y/n says laughing. Eddie agrees. She grab a clean cup and a liquor bottle and pour it in. The cup is about half full and she drinks it down straight, making a little disgusted face. Eddie laughs at your face, takes the bottle from you and proceeds to do the same you did, except he doesn't even raise an eyebrow drinking it.

The evening goes by and you guys are dancing and having fun, that is until Jason spots Eddie and his friends. He walks over to your group with an angry look on his face. "Look what we have her, the Freak and his little Freakshow, who invited you here?" He says provoking. "Well to be honest it was your girlfriend Chrissy telling us everyone was invited, I don't know, maybe she has a thing for me" Eddie said, obviously just trying to piss Jason off. And it worked, suddenly he swung at Eddie, hitting him in the face. Eddie hit back and all of a sudden the two boys were on the ground, beating each other up. They didn't stop until their friends grabbed then both and dragged them away from each other. "Your just a piece of shit Munson, no wonder not even your Mom wanted you she knew your end up a useless bastard like your father!" Y/n looked at Jason in shock, then she looked at Eddie, he was trying to hide it but deep down in his brown eyes, she could see a wound opening up that hadn't been fully healed yet, a wound she knew was painful. He turned around storming out of the door. Y/n tried to catch up with him but the crowd of drunk teens was to big to get through. When she finaly made it out of the door, Eddie had already driven off.

She didn't care that it was dark, she didn't care about the cold rain running down her body, leaving her drenched wet. She took her highheels off about a mile ago because she was faster without them. Now she was running down the street, her shoes in her hand instead of her feet, the asphalt ice-cold and rough under her feet. But she didn't care, she didn't care about the cold, the rain, the pain in her feet and her legs feeling week from running. All she cared about was Eddie, so she kept running, the trailer park finaly appearing in her sight. When she finaly made it she started knocking on his trailer door. No response. "EDDIE?" She yelled through the night. "EDDIE IM NOT LEAVING TILL YOU OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR!" She yelled again, now pounding at whe door like crazy. Finaly he opened the door. "What do you want? Jason was right I'm just a useless piece of shit like my father, I'm not good enough for you I could never be" he said, tears forming in his eyes. Y/n looked at him in disbelieve, did he really believe what he just said? "Comeon you can't listen to what this asshole says he doesn't know tou, he doesn't know you like I do Eddie your an amazing person you can always make everyone laugh and you are so kind and caring and respectful and you play the guitar like your a fucking metall God,the way you take care of the kids, Dustin and Mike, you are there for people when nobody else is Eddie your an angle!" Y/n said, walking towards him and placing her hands on his face while she said those words. She looked into his deep brown eyes, a look of concern and worry on her face but she meant every word she just said. Eddie couldn't hold his tears back any longer, he broke down crying. Y/n dropped down on her knees with him, holding him in her arms as he cried, his finger digging into the fabric of her dress as he was holding on to her tightly, like she could leave him any second. "Why didn't she want me..." he cried out again. "I don't know" y/n replied. "Bit she has no idea what she's missing out on, your such an amazing person Eddie and I promise you I will never leave, I promise I will stay right here." She said, her hands diging into his thick curly hair, holding him closely, his head resting on her chest as his crying slowly faded into exhausted, heavy breathing. He looked up at her and she looked down, into his deep brown eyes. Now, that she had even seen this side of him, she loved him even more and she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
"I love you Eddie" she said, a tear rolling down her cheek as the words finaly came out.
"What?"
Eddie said, looking at her confused, almost as if he didn't believe the words she just said. Suddenly the word were just flowing out of her mouth like a waterfall she couldn't stop "Ever since I meet you I feel like your the only person I could ever trust, when you look at me it feels like for the first time someone actually sees me, being with you feels like home, like I'm actually safe, every time you smile or laugh I feel these butterfly's in my stomach and all I want is to be with you but I was afraid to tell you because I didn't know if you feel the same and I didn't wanna ruin our friendship because your all I have and-" Suddenly she's being silenced by his lips pressing against hers, she placees her hand in his neck, pulling him closer into the kiss and it feels like a million fireworks exploding inside of her. As they both slowly pull away, y/n looks back into his beautiful brown eyes. "I love you too, y/n, more than you can imagine " he smiles and kisses her again and again.

You both slowly get up from the floor and only now, he realizes that you are drenching wet.
"OH god did you walk all the way here?" He asks concerned, rushing to his room to sort out some try clothes for you. "Actually I was running but yeah..." you reply, he gives you a strict look of concern. "You could get seriously sick, don't ever do something like that again" he said and you nodded.
After you changed you snuggle up into the bed next to him, cuddling into his strong arms as you both fall asleep.
