LIVE

Sorry, it’s over…

Summary: you and Eddie lived in two different worlds, you had everything you’ve ever wanted and more, so when a more fitting guy tries to get with you… Eddie feels it’s what’s best… (Also poc friendly if I got anything wrong please let me know)

Warnings: fluff/hurt no comfort, Eddie making sex jokes, talks of making out, language, Eddie being sad, reader AND Eddie having doubts (but for different reasons), people being jerks, mention of smoking, reader has hair long enough to put into a ponytail and is described to have curls (those curls can be natural or created with a curling iron is up to you) and use of Y/n like twice

You and Eddie have been going out in secret for some time now, and you couldn’t be happier! He made you feel so alive and happy, you felt like giggling and kicking your feet like a little girl when he smiled at you in the hallways.

You always snuck him in when you’re parents were away, laying in your bed as you pull him in for a kiss and when you pull away he leans in for more; the cooling feeling of his rings against your face when his hands cup your cheeks, your fingers playing with his dark hair or lightly tugging at his shirt.

You always kissed him before he went to his Dungeons and Dragons campaign, he always leaves with the dopiest smile on his face as he tries to get ready for when the party members arrive.

And his members have noticed he was a little off too, he had been generous and forgiving for a while now; the group rarely gets close to death anymore because of his mood. Even his moments and voice sound more cheery and pumped up than scary or mysterious.

But when he is asked about it, he just says he has been smoking a bit more weed than he normally does, the group all just take that as Eddie did get more cheery and laid back when he smoked some weed.

But he actually hasn’t been smoking weed that much anymore, he has been hanging out with you and the only time he smokes is when you and he are in his trailer together cuddling.

You both felt so in love, so happy, and so content with how your lives were connected together, even if you had to keep it a secret.

You were a Cheerleader with high expectations of you thanks to your parents and he was…well Eddie the freak Munson… But you both were ok with this. You loved each other, that was all that mattered… Until…

You walked down the hallway from your last class to your locker to finally put your stuff away now that the day was over, you just wanted to finish so you and Eddie could sneak behind the school for a much-needed make-out session.

But when you turned to your locker a boy was there… And it wasn’t your Eddie… He was nothing like Eddie actually. He had neatly done short blonde hair, bright greenish-blue eyes, no tattoos, caramel skin, a nicely pressed and well-fitting button-down, light blue pants with a brown belt, and black shiny shoes.

“Hello, I’m Logan.” He said as he held his hand out for you to take, you take it expecting a handshake while telling him your name, he kisses you’re hand and says “I know.” He smiles at you trying to be charming but coming off creepy to you.

‘He knows my name? That’s creepy… I have no idea who this guy even is…’ You thought as you force a smile pulling your hand away.

“Yeah. Well, it was nice to meet you but I uhh- I promised to meet my best friend Chrissy later today to go over some cheers for the next game.” You say as you open your locker and shove everything inside, he looks skeptical but doesn’t push on the matter.

You don’t bother saying goodbye as you rush away to meet Eddie at the back of the school…

“Hey, baby!” Eddie calls out to you as you arrived at your and Eddie’s special spot, you rush to him hugging him with a kiss; you lean back with a “Muah!!” Making him chuckle as he leans in to take in your sent.

You both sit at this single table across from each other talking about your day, Eddie telling you the plan he had in mind for the next Dungeons and Dragons session; you even out in some of your own ideas that he would put his own Eddie twist to it for his master plan.

You play with the rings on his fingers as you listen to him rant on and on about this game, and when you absentmindedly tell him you would love to play sometime his eyes light up, and he tells you all about how you can come over and plan your character out together and he starts listing some of the types and races he could picture you as, and you just sat there listening and watching him geek out. Yup, you want to be like this forever.

If only…

When you got home, your mother was rushing over practically pushing you up the stairs to your bedroom, “where were you?! You are late! now, I laid out an outfit for you ok? Put it on and put 'this’- she motions to your hair picking up a curl before dropping it- up into a ponytail and get down here as soon as you can. Ok? Ok.”

You were confused, you didn’t remember anything important happening today that you needed to be home as soon as possible, dressed nice, and at the dinner table. What was going on?

As you finished getting ready and headed down the stairs to the dining room, you heard your father opening the door and greeting someone hartley before ushering the person and the two other guests in, if the number of steps being heard had anything to say it was that more than two people were entering the house.

As you sat in your chair and your mother rushed to place the final dishes on the table, your father walked in with three people; a man a woman you assumed was his wife, and… That boy from school? Logan, it was if you remembered correctly.

Your mother greeted everyone before looking at you with an expectant look, “oh… Umm, hello. Everyone?” You say unsure, still confused as to why Logan and assuming his family was in your home for dinner. Did your family know them? Were you all related somehow? You doubted it. But it was the only idea you could come up with at that moment.

But it was far worse…

Halfway through the dinner, your father announced that you were going to marry this Logan guy because he and Logan’s father goes way back and think joining the families would be good for business.

You slightly choked on your juice as your father said this, you look to your mother who looks at you for a moment before looking back to her food as if that didn’t just happen.

You look to Logan only to see how he looked… Smug… He was happy? About this? Why was he ok with this?! You didn’t want this! But from the look, your father gave you it looked like you didn’t really have a choice.

After that dinner, you and Logan were 'dating’ as he and your family liked to say, but you weren’t Logan’s girl… You were Eddie’s girl!

…well, not that anyone would really know that due to it being a secret. But that didn’t change the fact you loved Eddie and weren’t giving him up.

You were so upset you had become irritable, and the smallest things started to bug you; what was pissing you off the most was when Logan would try to do couply things with you, you didn’t do those kinds of stuff with him! You only did that stuff with Eddie damn it! Why wasn’t this guy getting the hint you didn’t want to be with him?!

Poor Eddie didn’t understand what had gotten you so angry this week, he tried everything to try and figure it out. And for the first time you had… Yelled at him. He genuinely was scared even though he was bigger than you, he noticeably flinched.

It made your heartbreak, you apologized to him saying that you were just stressed but just weren’t in the mood to walk about it at the moment. He let it go at first, saying when you were ready to talk so was he.

But then he started seeing this Guy keep showing up at your locker and talking with you in the hallways and he started getting antsy… Did you know this guy? Who was he? Did you think he was a cool guy?

But Eddie kept telling himself everything was fine and it was just some guy thinking he had a shit when he didn’t… At least that’s what he thought at first. But the more he saw the guy, the more the guy was around you talking and even giving you gifts… Expensive ones… He knew something was very very wrong…

And one day that thought came to be true…

Eddie sat in an empty classroom writing down some ideas for the next session with his party and he couldn’t wait to share them with you… But then someone got his attention.

“Hey there.” A voice called, Eddie looked up eyebrow raised “do I know you?” He asked in a sour tone slightly noticeable in his voice.

“Well you don’t know me exactly, but I know that you see me with Y/n in the hallways,” Logan said with a teasing tone in his voice… He was taunting him.

Eddie was ready to punch this guy in the jaw when he was interrupted by Logan saying “I know about your little secret relationship…”

Eddie looked shocked for a moment, how? You and Eddie don’t talk at all in school to be sure no one suspected anything! How did?

“I saw you behind the school, and look. There’s no nice way to put this so I’ll just say it ok? Y/n and I are getting married.”

And Eddie felt his heart drop into a pit in his stomach, Married? You? And this guy? His princess was going to marry this prick?!

“Look I can tell you are both shocked and angry and I would be too if I were the one losing such a pretty thing. However, we both know that’s what’s best right?” Logan continued looking down at where Eddie still sat looking up at Logan.

“What do you mean?” Eddie asked not fully following this guy’s thought process as he was still in shock at the who you marrying someone that isn’t him…

“Well, you see you are… Well, you! you’re the freak of Hawkings High! You can’t support her, if anything you would ruin her! You can’t take care of and provide for her as I can.” Eddie was barely grasping what Logan was saying but he knew that Logan was right. He couldn’t give you the life you deserve.

Who was he kidding? to think someone like you would be with someone like him forever? He was hanging on to a wish that would never happen… He was just… A phase. You like him now but once you’re over the whole bad boy phase you’ll move on.

“I… I guess… You’re right.”

Logan smiled in fake pity, resting a hand on Eddie’s shoulder.

“I know I am… You know what to do. If you really love her, you’ll just let her go.” And with that Logan walked away… And Eddie had something to tell you…

Your parents were away and you didn’t have to worry about Logan sneaking up on you here trying to be all cute with you, and you felt so much better! You had called Eddie telling him he could come over and you really wanted to talk with him, and he told you he had something big to tell you, so at first you were excited as to what it could’ve been, but when Eddie showed up and he looked upset and like he was ready to break down you had quickly invited him in.

He sat on your bed and looked over to you, and told you the big news.

“I don’t think we should see each other liken this anymore…”

And at the moment your world shattered around you, what was he saying? why was he saying that? What happened? Did he find someone he liked better? Was she more like him? Did she make him feel more loved than you did? Please don’t be saying what you think he’s saying…

“What? No! I mean we don’t have to keep quiet about us anymore if that’s what this is about I-”

He stood from your bed before looking to you taking a deep breath,

“No! I mean… Look at us! This was never going to last were just too different!”

“What… What are you saying?”

He huffed running a hand through his hair before gesturing to your mirror,

“I mean look at you and then look at me, you deserve everything… And I’m… Me, The freak…”

You walk over to him and he backs away before you can get too close,

“Look… I hate to have this happen the way this has to happen… But I think I owe it to you… To set you free… You would be better off without me…” He tries to walk away out of the room but you manage to get in front of him,

“Do back away from me, What’s gotten into you? This isn’t the Eddie I know. What happened? What did I do to make you do this? Did someone say something to you? I don’t care about what anyone has to say and neither should you! Please, Eddie!”

He just shakes his head…

“I’m sorry, it’s over…”

“Eddie please this can’t be-”

“You and I? Don’t belong it’s wrong! We aren’t perfect after all like we thought.”

He tries to leave again but you take his arm,

“Eddie, you and I were meant to be! I know it! Please!”

“ … I’m really sorry, but we’re done.” He slips past you, you make a last attempt to take his hand but miss as he rushes out the room shutting the door.

You stand there for a moment, the situation finally setting in before You fall to the floor on your knees sobbing.

A few days later and you were still miserable, you even missed some school telling your parents how you felt awfully sick and felt like you wanted to throw up, which wasn’t exactly a lie as you did feel that way, but not because you were sick.

But today you were forced to go to school, you looked like you but… Your curls were a mess in your normally neat braid, your skirt and shirt had wrinkles, and your eyes and nose were red and puffy. And ever so often when something would remind you of Eddie your lip would tremble…

You didn’t want to go straight home, you didn’t feel like walking right now… You thought that you could visit you and Eddie’s special place one last time walking behind the school.

But you stopped when you heard voices, and they both sounded very familiar… It was Eddie… And Chrissy…

Looking from behind a tree you spotted them, They were sitting across from each other and she was in your spot where you would’ve normally sat, smiling and giggling having a conversation with Eddie.

You… You didn’t know they knew each other…

Your brows furrowed when Chrissy said something and Eddie pushed his hands to his heart falling out of his seat, getting up and brushing leaves from his hair as Chrissy laughed, they talked more as Eddie made jokes and motions making Chrissy giggle and shake her head… And the way Eddie was looking at her… It made your heart hurt, shattering into even more and tinier pieces…

You felt sick, you ran home. Your lungs burned and your eyes watered, how could Chrissy do this? How could Eddie do this?! Was this why he broke up with you? He was seeing Chirssy?

You pushed your way inside your home before falling and letting out a painful cry, why was the world doing this to you? What did you do to deserve this?

After crying yourself to sleep you woke up to the phone in your room ringing loudly, you grogally stood as you held the phone to your ear,

“Hello?”

And what you heard next shocked you, Eddie?

“Chrissy was found dead. And it was in Eddie’s trailer, he is the number one suspect.”

Your Eddie?
