MEMORIES (billy/eddie)

Slow

You danced so much with your friends that your feet hurt like hell. But there wasn't any chance you'll stop dancing. Suddenly, Eddie climbed on stage with Corroded Coffin and everyone cheered. You clapped and giggled, what was he doing ?

He grabbed an electric guitar, and they all took place on stage.

"- Didn't know the freak turned into a rockstar." Steve drunkly said in your ear and you scoffed.
"- You literally came to support us at the Hideaway last week, Harrington."
"- Oh." he just replied and music started blasting.

Eddie was making his fingers run on the cords perfectly, and girls started screaming. He was playing Play With Me by EXTREME.
One of your favorite tracks he played like a god. He was head banging, making his long curls dance all around his face, and the rest of the group was matching his energy. You looked at all the girls who were watching him and you crossed your arms.

Months ago they wouldn't have even bother giving him the time, and now they were all screaming for YOUR boyfriend. The boy they used to call "the freak". Ironic, isn't it ?

After the last note, everyone cheered and Eddie grabbed the microphone to talk.

"- Uh... Thank you, well... I don't even know what to say except ... I love you, y/n. And ... 86 BABY ! IM GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE FINALLY !" he yelled and everyone clapped. You smiled and he got off the stage, kissed your lips, and went to drink some water.

After all the drinks you had, you really needed to pee. You escaped the gymnasium and ran towards the bathroom.
when you finished, and finally succeed to put your dress back on, you walked towards the gymnasium when you saw Nancy and Jonathan sneak out towards the parking lot. You smiled and followed them discreetly outside. You saw them run hand in hand towards Nancy's car and you chuckled to yourself.
They were the cutest.

You were about to turn heels and go back when you heard some music blasting from a car.

You searched through the parking and walked further when your heart skipped a beat. You felt all of your organs fall on the floor while you had trouble to swallow your own saliva. Tears started to fill your eyes.

Billy's Camaro. The door opened, and you saw him get out of it. He was dressed in black trousers, your favorite button up and his leather jacket. He took a hit on his cigarette while leaning against his car, looking at you. He was the same. the exact same. maybe more muscular. But the same eyes, the same hair, the same smile.

"- Billy ?" you asked, not believing it.
"- You really thought I wouldn't make you dance at prom ?" he smirked and you ran to him and hugged him tighter than you ever did.

tears fell by themselves while you felt the biggest feeling of relieve. he was here, back, and alive.

"- I thought I would never see you again." you sobbed and he hugged you even more, kissing the top of your head.

"- I'm here now, everything is okay." he said and you broke the hug to look at him.

he smiled and stroked your cheek.

"- you look magnificent, y/n." he whispered.
"- but how-" you started but he cut you off by holding his hand in front of you.
"- hey, don't ruin this. I'm literally about to make you dance." he said and you chuckled.

he turned on the car's stereo and Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper was playing. He let the door open so you could both hear the music. it was romantic. it was new. it touched your heart.

"- billy why would you even do that ? you never do this kind of things." you said while he offered you his hand.
"- because ... I learned a lot, in there. and ... it's my way to apologize for what I did to you." he replied before pulling you in a slow dance.

you rested your head on his chest, and he rested his above yours.

"- I missed you so much. I was scared something happened to you." you said.
"- I missed you too, love. I talked about you pretty much everyday." he chuckled.
"- to who ?"
"- what do you think ? i even made myself a friend." he said and you laughed.

he made you turn, and slowly pulled you in again.

"- why this song in particular ?" you curiously asked.
"- just listen to what she's saying and you'll get it." he replied.

you then focused on Cyndi Lauper's voice.

"- If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)
And the drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after timeI've got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
But you say to go slow but I fall behind
Time after time after time (after time, oh)."

You closed your eyes. This song, was now your song. You felt him sigh, and pull away from you slowly.
you looked right into his eyes, and he rested his index under your chin to maintain your stare in his.

"- y/n. I love you." he said and you couldn't help but look down and walk backwards a few steps.
"- Billy ... There's something I need to tell you." you said, anxiously playing with your fingers.
"- what is it ?"
"- I ..." you started but someone talked before you could, and you heard Eddie's voice behind you.

"- we're getting married." he said.
