The Freak and The New Girl

17 : The makeup

( Eddie pov)

"You fuckin asshole!" Jason yelled as he landed a punch on my face.

I fought back but before I knew it Jason was beating the shit out of me

Even though I felt like I wanted to die and was still getting the shit beat out of me all I could think of was Hope leaving because my idiot of a person decided to wait to tell her.

I just hope she didn't go home

Then Jason landed another punch to my face and I got snapped back into reality.

I punched him in the face and his head turned to the side and he looked at me and landed another punch.

I kneed him and he fell over

Gareth helped me up and I looked around after I wasn't as lightheaded

Nobody was here anymore and it was dark out

"What time is it?" I asked trying to ignore the pain coming from my busted lip.

"Really that's what your worried about?" Gareth asked sarcastically

"I guess, I'm honestly just tryna not focus on the fact that it hurts to even walk." I said

I'm probably exaggerating but everything hurts.

"You took a hard hit when ya hit the ground so you leg could be broken." Gareth said

That would explain why it hurts to walk.

"Great just great. ... can you drive me home?
Hope took my van." I asked

"Yeah of course." Gareth said as he unlocked the car.

We drove to my house and I saw my van sitting there.

Thank god she's here.

(Hope pov)

Just as I was about to walk out the door, Gareth van pulled in and out came Gareth and he started to walk to the passenger door.

I ran to the passenger door and made it there before Gareth did

Eddie looked bad, way worse than I looked after my dad.

I opened the door and immediately wrapped my arms around him.

"Jesus Christ Hope! I'm so glad your okay!" He said while hugging me back.

"Yeah, I'm fine are you? You don't look it." I said

"I guess I got my ass kicked pretty good huh?" He said jokingly

Well at least he still joked.

"I'm so sorry I left, it's probably a really hard topic and I over reacted." I said

"Nah it's fine I get it, I was going to tell you I swear I was just waiting for the right moment." He said

"No seriously, your fine I'm over it. I don't know why I reacted the way I did." I said feeling awful

"Ok I hate to break this moment between you two but it's late and I would like to sleep tonight." Gareth said

Right, we were still in his car.

"Yeah right, sorry man." Eddie said

"Nah it's all good, hope you feel better." Gareth said to Eddie.

I helped him get inside and he immediately sat on the counter.

"My turn huh?" He asked

"Yup." I said grabbing the first aid kit

I opened it and grabbed the stitches supplies and the cut cleaning kit.

I started putting the rubbing alcohol on a wash rag and started dabbing his cuts with it

He tensed up and I could tell it hurt but he didn't say anything

"Sorry." I said as he winced

"It's fine, it's not your fault." He said not loosening up at all

"I know but it still sucks seeing you like this." I said hating seeing him hurt

"I'm fine I promise okay, nothin I can't handle. I can take a few hits I promise." He said

"If this is what a few punches looks like, id hare to see what five or more looks like." I said trying to lighten the mood.

I looked back up at him and he was absolutely staring

"You're beautiful you know?" He said smiling

I couldn't help but blush and try to hide it.

"Sure I am" I mumbled under my breath

He lifted my chin with his finger so I was looking at him

"Hope Sage, you are beautiful. Even if you don't think it, you are. Okay?" He said smiling

"Okay." I said smiling back

He put his hands around the back of my head and leaned my head to his and kissed me

"So we're not gonna try to hide it from uncle Wayne anymore huh?" Wayne said

I forgot he was here

"Uhh, how much of that did you see?" Eddie asked tilting his head

"Enough to know how much you two care for each other." He said

"I don't think we're gonna get an exact answer." Eddie said.

"Me either." I said looking at the clock

1:00 am

It was Thursday now.

We only have the rest of today and the weekend then we have to go back to school.

I finished cleaning up Eddie's face

"I can tell it's you now!" I said laughing

"Yaaay!" He said bursting out in laughter

"Where else does it hurt?" I asked

"Me and Gareth think Jason broke my leg when he lunged at me like a hyena hunting a bug..." he said laughing

"And probably a few broken ribs." He said

He's gonna have to take off his shirt so I can put the bruise cream on what I'm assuming are very bruised ribs.

"Ima need you to take off your shirt." I said

"I didn't know you wanted to see me shirtless that bad." He said laughing while taking off his shirt

"Oh shut it Munson." I said jokingly

"Munson? Last name bases huh?" He said jokingly

"Only if you keep being childish." I said laughing

We were sitting on Eddie's bed again.

He was holding my hand and I was laying on his chest.

"Your amazing Eddie Munson." I said admiring him.

" I might be amazing but I'm nothing compared to you." He said kissing the top of my head

"Your the only person id be able to lay here with and not wanna ever get up." I said

"I could lay here forever with you darling." He said as I fell asleep

"Goodnight Eds." I said almost asleep

"Goodnight." He said

===============================

Well they got through they're first fight and didn't go to bed angry. Do you guys think Wayne will walk in on them again? As always a shoutout to my bestie.
