MTV Unplugged - Eddie Vedder

Stone and I were standing outside his house. The rest of the boys were inside but I couldn't get in there. Seeing Eddie was too much.

"Why are you acting like he's done something aweful?" Stone asked.

I shook my head and looked at the ground, "I really can't tell you, Steno."

He got more frustrated every second of me denying anything about the way I acted towards Eddie.

"If you're not gonna tell me, I'm gonna go back inside. I'm sorry (Y/N), but it annoys the crap out of me that you're acting so different towards the boys ever since last week and if you don't wanna tell me or any of them what's the matter. Then I can't help you either."

Stone turned to walk away, but I couldn't let him. It felt like I was losing him and the rest of the guys as my friends.

"I'm in love with him." I almost screamed. Stone stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head slowly.

"I'm in love with Eddie and it broke me when I saw him with that girl at lunch last week. That's why I can't bare to see him. It breaks me to see him."

Stone walked up to me with a sympathetic smile and wrapped his arms around me while I let my feelings free. Tears started to slowly make their way down my face.

"Sshhh, don't cry." He said as he rubbed my back.

"But it hurts, you know..."

"I can imagine."

I told Stone I wanted to go home and we went inside so I could goodbye to the others.

Eddie was acting a bit strange, different from before I went outside, but I ignored it, since it was possibly my emotions making me see things differently.

Once I was home I took a long, hot, shower and afterwards I watched some telly.

The next day at work was boring as ever. I worked as a butcher in my uncle's butchery. My aunt and uncle raised me and as I got older and older they made me work in the butchery. I really didn't mind, I had a great time there, but the last couple of days were dragging by and I wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone, to be honest.

Just as I was having lunch in the back of the store during my lunchbreak, my uncle interrupted my thoughts by telling me Stone was asking for me. I asked if it was alright if he could come here and my uncle said it was ok and he would send Stone to the back.

My aunt and uncle knew the guys pretty well, since they came over regularly.

I took another bite of my sandwich before Stone came in.

"Hey Steno," I said with a smile. "what brings you here?"

He sat down next to me, "The boys and I got you a ticket for our MTV performance. It's tomorrow night and we would all really like it if you're there." he said as he handed me a ticket.

I looked down at the ticket in my hand. Stone knew I was doubting whether I should go or not. "Please (Y/N), come see us. You're always there, don't let the feelings you have for Eddie get in the way. It would mean a lot te me, you know that."

Stone was the one I was closest to. He helped me getting through a lot of things and I couldn't wish for a better best friend.

"Alright, I'll be there. But I need to get back to work now, the meat won't sell itself." I said and laughed a bit.

Stone laughed as well and gave me a tight hug as we stood up, "Thanks dear, I'll see you tomorrow. I'll text you the details about it. Bye!"

"Bye bye, Steno."
