My dad and Holly were asleep when we went inside. My mom instructed all of us, including Eddie, to get cleaned up so she could wash our clothes and not bring any germs into the house.

I brought Eddie down to the basement so he could rest and Mike followed close behind.

"I'm going to shower really quickly. But I'll be back so try not to fall asleep before getting cleaned up," I said, kissing Eddie's forehead.

"Oh, don't worry, Charlie. Eddie will be just fine with me," Mike grinned.

I rolled my eyes. "I'll also pick out some new clothes for you to wear once you're done showering, Eds."

"Thanks, honey. See you in a bit."

I blew Eddie and kiss and walked back upstairs.

Nancy was already in the shower when I went up to the upstairs bathroom.

I went to my room and picked out my clothes, which was a clean and fluffy set of pajamas.

Then I found some oversized sweatpants and a band t-shirt I had in my closet for Eddie. I'm sure he would love wearing my clothes.

Nancy went into her bedroom to get changed and I went into the bathroom. It was still misty from Nancy's shower and I turned on the water, feeling it still warm.

I undressed quickly and took off the ring Eddie gave me, putting it next to the sink.

I grabbed a plastic shopping bag and wrapped up my cast, then stepped into the shower.

I scrubbed all of the dirt and grime off my skin. The water at my feet was brown as it went down the drain.

I unknotted my hair with my free hand and conditioned the ends until it was knot free.

When I turned off the water, I was thoroughly exhausted.

After I was dried off and dressed, I went back to the basement to get the boys.

Eddie and Mike were deep in conversation.

"Hey boys, one of you is next in line," I spoke up.

Mike jumped up and headed upstairs.

Eddie smiled at me. "You smell nice."

"I'm finally clean, of course I smell nice."

"You smell like strawberries and vanilla."

"Well, Eds, I usually don't smell like interdimensional shit. That was a limited fragrance."

"Hey, I'll take it any way I can get it."

"So what did you and Mike talk about?"

Eddie groaned. "He threatened me to take care of you. He leveraged my sweet guitar for your safety. Can you believe it?"

I snorted.

"Well then, I guess you better take care of me. Wouldn't want your precious darling getting smashed up."

"Well, I can think of better things to smash," Eddie replied in a husky voice.

"Edward Wayne Munson!"

"Sorry! I couldn't resist, honey."

He put his hand in mine and we sat in comfortable silence until I heard the water in the shower stop running.

I led Eddie upstairs and gave him everything he needed, then I went back into my room and plopped on my bed.

I looked at the picture on my nightstand. It was Jenny, Robin and I at Chrissy's first game as a cheerleader.
