Eddie's POV:

I wake up freezing cold with a pounding headache, I open my and squint at the strong sunlight. I turn away from the window, I look around but I don't recognize where I am. Everything in the room is pink and purple, to my right at a mirror and see a Polaroid picture of me and Greta in the bottom right corner, then everything comes back to me.

"Greta!" I call out.

"Coming!" she yells back.

I hear her running up the stairs then she walks into the room wearing sunglasses, shorts, and a crop top under a baggy sweater.

"I brought you wat-"

"Shhhh you're too loud." I say squinting in pain with my finger against my lips.

"Sorry." she whispers while handing me a glass of water.

"Can you close the curtains." I ask while rolling over with my hands over my eyes.

"Sure."

I hear the rail squealing then I open my eyes and look around the dark room.

"Thanks." I whisper.

"No problem." she whispers back. "Let's go for a walk. You could borrow one of my sunglasses and some clothes."

"Okay." I say rolling off the bed.

She opens up one her dressers and picks out a pair of bright orange sunglasses and hands them to me. She opens up her closet and picks out a bunch of hoodies and tosses them on to the bed.

"Pick which ever one you like." she says while grabbing a pair of jean shorts and she hands them to me.

I look through the pile of hoodies and pick out a blue sweater that says "Thot Patrol". I turn around and hold it up to Greta saying,

"Really?" while giggling.

I put it back in the pile and choose a light brown suede coat with fur on the inside. I pull the shorts on over my underwear and ask Greta,

"You ready?"

"Yup." she says opening the door for me.

We walk up the stairs then she grabs her phone and then I panic and start patting my whole body to find my phone. Greta turns around looking at me.

"You put it in your underwear last night." she says chuckling.

"Oh my god."

I stick my hand in my pants then pull it out. I turn it on and see I have 12 missed calls and 43 text messages from Richie, 3 text from the family group chat, and 2 texts from Noah. I open the family group chat,

Lena: Eddie baby where are you? Are you coming home soon?

Noah: He's with me and Bev. He fell asleep.

Lena: Oh okay baby tell him to text me in the morning.

Shit. I open my messages with Noah,
