Finding you

Chapter 26

After Chris left, Eddie sighed and went for the wardrobe, to find something to wear.

After he changed into shorts, he unfolded a shirt and was about to put it on until he was disrupted by the phone.

He rolled his eyes and sighed, throwing the shirt back onto the bed and walking towards the phone.

"What?" Eddie said as he put the phone between his ear and shoulder, and began to fold some clothes.

"Its Mike, just wanted to know what time you're free"

Eddie stopped for a minute, and answered.

"Wait, you're in Seattle now??"

"Nice to hear from you too" Mike added, sarcastically.

"Sorry, it's just something came up this morning and I'm not in the best of moods. Come over anytime really"

"Alright. Stone and Jeff are with Xana for some reason, but that means they're in Seattle also"

"Yeah I heard, they're driving to the hospital I assume"

"Yep, so that means me, Dave, Stone, You and Jeff are all in Seattle!" Mikes voice lightened up.

Eddie smirked "sure does. Listen, I'll call you later, I got some stuff to do."

"Okay man, see you in a couple of hours".

Before Eddie could say anything more, his friend hung up the phone.

He put the phone back, threw his shirt on and sat on the bed with his head in his hands.

"God" he sighed, rubbing his face.

He looked over to the clock, it was 11:37am. Eddie was getting bored and his eyes began to wonder.

He stormed downstairs, opened a cabinet underneath the television and pulled out food to feed the fish.

Eddie saw the guitar Chris gave him that was hanging on the wall. He took it down, gently carried it and sat on the sofa, beginning to play.

"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star" he softly sang, reading the lyrics from his arm of which he wrote on yesterday.

He began strumming random chords until he found the ones he was happy with, and sang it together in a loop until he was tired of his own voice.

"What's up little guy?" He said in a oddly-pitched voice, as he was disrupted by his kitten.

He picked him up and sat with it, staring into the lifeless TV as he was waiting for Chris to get back.

Eddie didn't like being away from Chris, and Chris didn't like being away from Eddie.

He shot his head to the clock, of which read 1:42pm.

"Any minute now" he muttered.
