Lies

Chapter Fifteen

Monica's POV

Eddie and I make our way back to my house laughing at every small. I've never been high before but if it's like this every time I wouldn't mind being high all the time.

"Eddie, I think I like being high." I giggle to him.

"Do you?" He asks smiling at me.

I just nod and smile at him.

"What do you want to watch?" I ask walking towards the kitchen grabbing a bag of popcorn.

"We can watch whatever you want to watch baby." He says coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist while I watch the popcorn pop in the microwave.

I like feeling him touch me. It gives me this euphoric feeling. I can't really describe it, but it just makes me so happy. I think Eddie in general just makes me so happy. He's something else that's for sure.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

The microwave interrupts my thoughts.

"Sweetheart are you gonna get the popcorn?" He asks getting ready to reach around me to get it.

"Oh yeah, sorry I was just thinking." I say rubbing the back of my neck. I grab the popcorn and put it in a bowl for us to share.

I plop down on the couch and Eddie follows doing the same. He reaches his hand in pulling out a handful of popcorn and shoving his face full.

"What were you so lost in thought about in the kitchen Hun?"

"oh, uhm nothing." I say looking away from him a bit.

"Sweets don't lie to me." He says scooting closer to me.

"You..." I say still looking away from him nervous to see his reaction.

"Me?!" He says jumping back from me.

"Yes." I say finally looking at him. He gives me his signature smile causing me to smile too.

"Me?!" He says again rolling off the couch causing me to laugh.

"Yes, you Eddie." I say laughing.

He puts on a little show for being all dramatic. He stands up from the floor and looks at me smiling.

"What is there something in my hair?" he asks grabbing the couple pieces of popcorn that he happened to get in his hair and moving the little bit oh hair that got into his mouth.

He was so adorable. He stood there staring back at me with his arms crossed.

"Whatcha staring at sweets?"

"You Eddie. Always you." I say smiling at him.

He comes and sits next to me pulling me close. He turns the tv on and we just sit there watching tv and eating popcorn.

~~

I wake up to the sound of Eddie snoring. I don't remember falling asleep, and I don't know how long I've been asleep. I look over to the clock and see that its now seven. I had to of been asleep for at least three hours.

I move out of Eddies arm trying not to wake him. He groans a little but doesn't wake up. I make my way to the kitchen for a glass of water.

I'm about to sit back on the couch when I hear a knock at the front door. I walk as fast as I can over to the door so whoever its is don't knock again and wake Eddie up.

I remember I have a hickie on my neck, so I pull my hair over it, so no one sees it.

I open the door to see Steve standing there.

"Hey Mo." He says leaning in for a kiss. I kiss him back.

"Hi Steve. I thought I wasn't going to see you until Monday?" I ask not letting him through the door.

"Oh, I got off work early today, so I decided to stop by. Is it ok if I come in?"

"Well...uhm... my parents are away on a business trip right now and they said I can't have anyone over while they're gone."

"Oh well then did you want to come over to my place then?"

"I'm not really supposed to leave the house either. I'm sorry." I say looking down.

"Hey who's at the door?" Eddie asks walking over to stand behind me.

"Why is he here?" Steve growls.

"Oh, we were working on our project for art. My parents already knew about it so that's why its ok." I say lying out my ass.

"Ok then let me see the art project." Steve says sternly.

"Yeah, give us one second to grab it." I say pulling Eddie by the arm upstairs.

"Oh my god you should have stayed on the couch." I scold him while pulling him up the stiars.

"Hey, don't blame me because you can't decide which boy." Eddie scolds back.

"I did decide Eddie. Steve's my boyfriend. You're not." I spit almost yelling at him.

"That's not how it seems, but if that's how you feel then our art project is finished." And with that he walks down the stair and out the front door.

I grab some random drawing off my desk and take it downstairs.

"See this is our art project." I say showing Steve the random drawing. "It's not finished yet though. I have to finish my half tonight."

"Ok so why did Eddie just storm out of here looking pissed?" Steve questioned.

"Oh, he tried to say I was making him do all of the project and I said no and he just got mad and left." I say hoping Steve didn't hear what was said since he was standing inside the house now.

"Did you want to stay for a bit?" I ask

"No, I just remembered I have somethings I need to take care of."

"Oh, ok. See you tomorrow?" I ask

"Of course, baby." He says smiling and then kissing me.

Steve leaves, and now I'm left alone in my house. I was starting to regret what I had said to Eddie earlier. I shouldn't have snapped at him, but what I said was true I had already picked. So, I need to stop fooling around with Eddie. That doesn't mean we can't still be friends. I would love to be friends with Eddie as long as that was it and we didn't do anything else.

~~

It's now eleven and I decide to call Eddie to apologize and ask to just be friends.

The phone line rings almost all the way through, but then he picks up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Eddie, it's Monica." I say sheepishly

"I have nothing to say to you. You made your decision and now I've made mine."

"Wait can we at least be friends? I ask

"No. Leave me alone. I want nothing to do with you." He says and I swear I hear him sniffle.

"Okay." Is all I can manage to say before he hangs up.

I sit in my bed with my knees to my chest. I start to cry. I cry hard, and it becomes hard to breathe.

Eddie hates me now. I ruined it. He doesn't even want to be my friend.

I call him back not knowing what to do to calm down. He picks up the phone.

"E...Eeddie." I manage to stutter out in between the cries.

He doesn't say anything. He just hangs up the phone. I pull my knees to my chest and lay down. I feel like I just lost the person who makes me the happiest. I'm also scared I hate staying in my house alone overnight. Eddie was supposed to be here, but I screwed that up. I lay there crying for what seems like forever before I fall asleep.
