Donât kill me now @jozstankovich
The whiskey isnât helping, it hasnât been helping for a very long time. Nor has the weed that Eddie got from his usual dealer.
Eddie Munson sits and stares ahead of himself as his eyes sting and he bounces his knee as he looks around. Heâs in a smart suit that Uncle Wayne probably paid an arm and a leg for and he bites at his nail as his lip wobbles.
A trait he gained from his mother. A trait she helped him kick so long ago.
Sheâs been a part of every celebration that the Munsons have hosted. Holly is a permanent fixture in their home. So it was no surprise that Wayne agreed without a second thought to pay for and host her wedding to Steve Harrington
Eddie wants to find his face and smash it in until Steve is unrecognisable. His hands are shaking again and he frowns down at them before clenching them into fists. Win sighs as she sits down and leans her head on Eddieâs shoulder.
Eddie wonât say it but sheâs the only one of Hollyâs friends that he actually likes (apart from himself of course)
âYeah. Just need a fuckinâ smokeâ
His legs are twitchy. He puts it down to the fact he doesnât have a vice in his hands, but Win can see the truth. Heâs so very see-through after all.
âTell Holly⌠fuck.â Eddie flummoxes over his words âTell I wish her all the luck in the worldâ
Eddie doesnât answer as he leaves the hotel, he grabs his keys before jogging down a staircase and opening his phone. He scrolls through his contacts until he finds Hollyâs name and presses the green button.
When she answers, her voice is cheery âHello sunshine..â
His breath hitches as he slumps against a wall and he once again bites at his nail. He cannot cry now. He will not cry now. âHello sweetling. Iâm.. I just wanted to wish you all the luck in the worldâ
Hollyâs soft voice is killing him as he fights every instinct to blubber every little secret he wants her to know
âEddie.. whatâs wrong?â
âNothinâ promise. I might have overdone it last night. Gonna go home and get my head downâ
âOkay..â Hollyâs disappointment hits him like a freight train âGet better soon bubsâ
Bubs.. The nickname is mocking him. Well and truly mocking him and he sucks in a breath that he knows Holly definitely heard. âWill do, love you Hollsâ
âLove you too, Eddieâ
