Chapter Text
"What is wrong with you Jason?!" You started screaming seeing him kissing Chrissie. "Do you really have to be so hopeless to cheat on me at the party you took me to yourself? you're just a worthless asshole!" You poured a drink into his face, turned on your heel and left the house.
Your head was full of thoughts, you felt humiliated and angry. You couldn't go home in this condition, not now. The house where the party was was near the trailer field where Max lived. Hoping that you would be able to stay with her you headed that way. The road was rough considering how much alcohol you had consumed. The darkness that surrounded you turned out to be soothing, you felt invisible, no one could see you. You liked this feeling. When you were there the sounds of an electric guitar reached you. They were calm, gentle, as if by magic. Without being fully conscious you followed them until you reached Eddie Munson's trailer. Feeling a surge of courage, you entered the trailer, walking quietly down the corridor looking for the source of the sound. Eddie was sitting on the bed visibly focused, as if in a trance. Leaning against the entrance to the small room, you watched. You listened to everything carefully and let the music occupy your thoughts, but at some point it quieted down.
"um.. hi?" his voice brought you back to reality.
"Oh shit, I am so sorry!" Panicked, you began to walk with a quick step towards the exit, only now did you realize what you had really done, you entered the house of a stranger boy, whom you only know by sight, only because you heard the nice sounds of the guitar. Sounds like madness! The closer you got to the exit, the faster you walked, and when you were on the stairs you fell down the stairs. "Damn it!"
"Hey, easy stalker" Eddie Smiled. "What are you doing here, y/n?"
"I don't know…"
"Okay, let me help you." He grabbed your hands and helped you get up.
"I am so sorry Eddie, I just were walking here because I wanted to go to Max's but I heard this beautiful sound and I really don't know what I was thinking, I feel like a freak now, I am so sorry!" you started explaining yourself.
"I am not mad, actually I am glad you liked it." He laughed. "I have one more question… are you drunk?"
"Just a little bit…" you hid your face in your hands "This is so embarrassing!"
"do you know that this is not the right time for walking alone?"
"I know, I was at a party with Jason, but I saw that asshole kissing Chrissy so I had to get out of there!"
"Your brother knows what happened? can he pick you up?"
"what? Steve? no he doesn't know and he can't see me like this, he will be furious!"
"Okay, calm down. Come inside, I'll make you some tea and cool down a bit huh?"
"Thank you…"
After going inside, no one spoke. The situation was incredibly strange for both of you, happening on the fact that this is the first time you are actually talking to each other. You drank the tea in silence. If someone ever told you that you'd be drinking tea in Eddie Munson's trailer one day, you wouldn't believe it. But it was happening. It was as real as possible.
"Um, Eddie?"
"Yes?"
"Would you play the song you played earlier?"
He didn't answer, with a smile he went into the room, and you followed him. You sat at the end of the bed and leaned with your back against the wall, and he began to play the pleasant melody anew. He sat with his back to you, wanting to take advantage of the fact that he was not looking you lay down on the bed. Just for a moment. You thought. Feeling the alcohol slowly leaving your body and, listening to the peaceful sounds of the guitar without knowing when, you fell asleep.
