Angst

It wasn’t just a silly little crush you had going on. You felt your heart shattered into a million pieces watching him laugh as he stood next to her listening to every word she said.

His ring clad hand held a glass cup of whatever he was drinking and he kept tapping his finger against the glass.

The motion had caught your eye for a moment. It was a brief distraction from the way your heart felt ripping piece by pieces and one at a time going into the trash.

Your eyes prickled with tears dreading to make a water fall down your rosy cheeks but you held back with your fist by your side clenching them till your knuckles turned white. It was an action not missable to him though.

He stared with his eyebrows knitted and hands folded on the table as Robin chattered his ear away not noticing he had stopped to listen and focus on you instead.

How could he not? He noticed the way you were trying to hold yourself together with the scene in front of you. It was heart breaking for him to watch and to sit there looking at you feeling his own heart slammed on the ground over and over and over again.

His mouth felt dry as the little voice in his head begged him to get some water or swallow his saliva. Anything for him.

Your body shook as your teeth cluttered together, grinding against one another as if they were going to fall apart.

Your head hung as tears finally made down a waterfall. Closing your eyes, your mind played over and over how he laughed. You used to make him laugh just like that.

Only, you were his friend. She was more. She had his attention. His eyes had heart shape eyes from the way he looked at her.

She was all he talked about for the past week and it’s not that you didn’t want him to be happy or hear about it.

But, it broke you.

It broke you to hear how happy she made him feel. If only, he stopped and noticed that you were there all along. You were there picking him up every time.

You were there for him when Jason snatched his notebook full of his ideas for the campaigns, you were there for when he got detention, you were there for every dramatic scene he put out in the cafeteria. You were there for everything and he was clueless how painful the scene in front of you was. It finally broke you to pieces as you stood your ground.

Robin had stopped talking as she noticed Steve had stopped listening to her.

“ Earth to dingus?” She asked, waving a hand in front of his face. Steve blinked his eyes a couple of time and turned his head towards her, glaring at her for a moment with a roll of his eyes once he saw the look on her face.

“ Yes, Robin?” He asked, turning his head back to glare at you to see you have turned your back on the scene in front of you and you were wiping your face like someone was going to come up to you and quickly ask you if you had something going on.

He knew you didn’t want anyone to see you like this.

You never were the one to show tears and you explained many times to him, to Eddie and your friends that it only showed your weakness. But he was more than ready to wrap his arms around you and comfort you in any way you would have him.

He’d do anything.

“ She’s not into you and never will be” Robin say as she looks over to you to see that you rose your head and headed to the table they were sitting at.

Steve adjusted his posture in his seat as he cleared his throat and ran a hand through his chestnut hair when you approached. He nudged Robin to be nice and gave her a look to not say a word.

“ Hi” Steve says as he sends a sympathetic look on your face. “ You okay?” He decided to ask thinking it’s the best options since he has been watching you cry your eyes out.

You don’t meet his gaze when you pull out your chair to sit on but instead you simply nod because you gave him an answer than you were sure you were going to break down in front of him.

“ I’m going to get us a few drinks” Robin says sensing the tension in the air. While she’s gone, Steve decides it’s best if he moves over to sit down next to you with his empty glass in his hands as he taps it.

“ You know, it’s okay to cry and let your feelings out” he says. You slowly turn your head at the sound of his voice and rose your eyebrow. Has he been watching you? Does he know how much your hurting?

“ Thank you for your advice Harrington. If I needed it, I would of asked” you harshly say. You didn’t mean to be so harsh but you didn’t want to talk to anyone right especially Steve.

Steve winced at your words but turned his head to look back towards where Eddie stood, he winced against noticing he had his arms wrapped around the girl that he’s been talking about for the past week.

Steve turned his head to glance at you seeing your eyes sight set on the empty glass on the table.

“ Do you want me to get you something strong?” He offers. You don’t answer him but fish out some money from your pocket and handing it to him as this is the answer you were going to give him. You needed a drink and a strong one.

Fast.

Steve balled your fist up with the money in your hand and shook his head.

“ It’s on me” he says. He slides out of his seat and makes his way over to the bar where Robin is sitting waiting for the drinks.

“ You know I have the drinks” She says. “ it’s taking a bit” Steve sighs placing both his hands on the bar. His eyebrows are knitted together and his face shows frustration.

“ She didn’t talk much to you didn’t she?”

“ No, she didn’t Robin. She was very cold towards me and I didn’t like it at all”

While the two chatted at the bar, Eddie had took it upon himself to think what better way than to introduce the new girl by his side to you. To one of his best friends.

When he strolled over with her by his side and cleared his throat to catch your attention. The look on your face wasn’t the most friendliest look that Eddie knew of. He winced when he saw your eyes darken and puffy eyes.

“ Hey, have you been crying?” He asks.

“ No” you dryly answered him. He shrugged it off like it meant nothing and motioned to the girl on his arm.

“ This is-“ your eyes moved over to her seeing she was already looking over at you with her eyes raking you up and down. It made you feel uneasy. “ I’ve gotta go” you mumble to Eddie standing up and grabbing your jacket.

“ Go? Go where?” He asks, calling after you watching you lastly make your way over to the door. Eddie was really confused on what was going on.

Steve had your drink in one of his hands and the other held his own as he stared at the door you walked out of with confusion on his face.

His eyes fall to the table seeing Eddie with the girl attached to him standing there and he put two and two together. He sighs putting the glasses back on the bar.

“ Don’t” Robin tells him knowing his intentions of running after you and checking in on you. Steve gives her a look.

“ Leave her be” She has a hand on his arm stopping him from preventing him from running after you like a lot puppy.

“ But I-“ Robin shook her head as much as she cared about you, she cared about Steve’s feelings too.

He wasn’t going to make a fool out of himself even if it meant Robin has to stop him every time.

“ Do you know where she is going?” Eddie asked as he walked over to sit down next to Robin and grabbed onto the girl pulling her into his lap.

Both Steve and Robin gave him a look of disgust, surely he had some sort of idea what was going on. But those brown eyes of his stared in question at the two. “ Well?” He asked.

“ You know” Steve got up, downing his drink in one go and clenched his teeth feeling the burn run down his throat. “ You’re really stupid” Robin gives a warning look towards Steve to not say anything else or he might regret it.

“ What are you talking about, Harrington?” The girl on Eddie’s lap looks uninterested as she looks around the bar, scrunching his nose and turning around playing with Eddie’s hair pleading for his attention with her eyes as she whines.

“ Not now, baby” he says. Robin scoffs catching Eddie’s attention.

“ And what’s your problem?” He asked. Both Robin and Steve’s mouth hang up as they stare at their so called friend.

“ Unbelievable” Robin finally mutters as she sits back in her seat. Eddie is more confused than ever as he looks between the two. “ What?” He asks like Robin is suppose to give him the answers. “ You don’t see it, do you?” Steve says.

“ Steve, don’t tell him. Let it bother him and let it come to him” Robin says as she stands up from her seat.

“ I can’t even look at you right now” Robin mutters.

Eddie continues to look back and forth between them in confusion still. He has no idea what he has done wrong or if he hurt anyone’s feelings.

He hasn’t been paying attention on how you felt about the whole situation with the girl on his arm and yet Steve’s feelings either for you.

“ You’re just going to leave like that? Without telling me anything?” He asks.

He pushes the girl off his lap. She huffed with a pout and folds her arms over her chest. But Eddie doesn’t seem to notice her behavior as he follows the two out the door demanding to find out the answers.

“ Would someone explain to what’s going on?” Eddie was his hands as he walks around one side to Steve to see if Steve would mutter one word to him on what he’s done wrong.

“ You two are suppose to be my friends. This is cruel to leave me hanging” Steve pauses in his step. The words are hanging off his tongue but his cold gaze sends shivers down Eddie’s back.

“ Why are you looking at me like that, Harrington?” Robin nudges Steve’s arm urging him to walk. Steve had a bit to drink therefore he’s walking Robin home first to make sure she’s home safe before getting him safe.

“ Hello?” Eddie asks. But he decides to go on the other side of where Robin to see if she would tell him anything. He stop in front of her causing her to bump into him.

“ Eddie!” She shouts rubbing her forehead. “ Why would you stop in front of me? You’re like a brick wall with fluff” she says, more to herself but Eddie hears it and chuckles.

“ What did I do?” He asks, his eyes softening as he tries to look at Robin’s face to try to get her to tell him but it was no use as Steve dragged her along.

“ Go home Eddie” Robin says. She gives him a sigh with a pat on his shoulder. The two leave him there to think to himself as he hangs his head and kicks an imaginary rock.

You were getting ready to turn the lights off in you room for the night when there was a tap at your window scaring you. You placed a hand where your heart was. It was racing like no tomorrow as you turned to look at the person. You bite the inside of your cheek walking over to the window to unlock it.

“ What are you doing here?” You asked as he slips through your window, and turning his gaze over to you once he stood there swaying one foot to the other. He runs a hand through his chestnut hair and looks around your room.

It’s not like it’s the first time he’s been here. He’s been over your house more than twice and your parents adored him. But they were sleeping and he had to see you.

“ What’s wrong?” You noticed the distant look on his face. He made his way over to your bed and sat on the edge with his head in his hands. This was worrying you. He was never this silent like he used to be.

His legs bounced and he had his eyes closed feeling his stomach turn into knots. He didn’t know why he came over. He doesn’t know what to say.

The words on the tip of his tongue but he’s terrified. Instead he shrugs off his jacket and feels his hair sticking to his forehead like the room is more the temperature level.

“ Is it hot in here?” He asked, blowing out from underneath his nose. You watch his Adam’s apple bounced as he swallows.

“ Are you sick?” You asked, reaching over with your hand to rest against his forehead. It was really damped but it wasn’t hot.

“ Do you need a snack? Water? You want a shower?” You were beginning to list the words from your hand, but your eyes were elsewhere because if they were on Steve then you’d notice he’d gotten up from where he was sitting at and stood in front of you.

When you took notice him standing so close to you, your cheeks flushed and mouth got dry as his hands reached out to cup your cheeks with both his hands. His thumbs trace over your flushed cheeks and the look he was giving you made him look like you were the only thing that was important to him. At this moment.

“ Steve?’ You asked.

“ You’re so beautiful” he says. Your eyebrows scrunched up together in confusion on what brought this on and but it was given to you with an answer when he leaned in and his lips were placed on your as he kissed you. Your eyes grew as big a saucers as he tugged you closer to him. His chest pressed against your own as his lips moved against your own. You were still trying to grasp on what this was. Steve Harrington was kissing you. Steve Harrington. Your best friend. Kissing. You.

He pulled away nothing the shocked look on your face and stepped back. A flash of hurt written on his face.

“ I’m sorry” he says. “ That’s wasn’t what I was hoping for.. I should go” he say, running a hand through his hair and averts his eyes from you. Your whole body is frozen as things were processing that he kissed you.

“ Yeah, I should go” he nods as he makes his way to the window, rushing to get through it. Your head turns to watch him climb out of your window with a panic look on his face. He doesn’t see where he’s jumping off too before he lands with an “ow” on the ground.

“ Are you okay?” You rushed over leaning against the window and looking down. He quickly dust himself to get away quicker as he mutters he’s fine but he’s really not. He feels like a fool for once and feels like his arm might be broken.

It’s been two weeks since Steve has talked to you. He’s avoided you the best he could at work, around the kids and when he drops off Robin in school. Eddie on the other hand feels your distance with him and it hurts him, a lot. He can’t place his finger what he did wrong but he knows your hurting when he catches you looking at him.

“ Earth to Eddie!” Mike claps his hands in front of Eddie’s face breaking his thoughts and eyes away from your figure.

“ Must you look at her all the time” Dustin sighed. “ She’s just sitting there at another table, go up to her and talk to her. How much longer are you going to do this?”

“ Until I figure out what I did” Eddie says. Dustin looks at Mike and then at Eddie.

“ Do you seriously don’t know?” Eddie looks at him with a clueless look on his face.

“ Oh my god” Dustin runs a hand down his face.

“ We all know, it’s bound to catch up to you” Jeff says.

“ Thank you for your kind advice” he sarcastically says.

“ I just don’t understand her” Eddie says motions his hand towards you. “ It’s been days since she talked to me, she hasn’t been coming over, she hasn’t called me, she hasn’t bee around much and no one will tell me anything” Eddie says through his gritted teeth.

“ Do you need to be told everything like a child?” Dustin say. “ You can not put two and two together?”

Eddie shrugged leaning his head on his hand.

“ You’re hopeless” Gareth mutters.

“ Hey! I will not do a campaign this week if you jerks don’t tell me what it is”

“ Oh come on!” Mike threw his hands up in the air.

“ You know what? Fine, I’ll tell you but she’s going to be so mad at me for this” Dustin says.

“ Just tell me, Henderson” Eddie leans in to hear the words he has been trying to figure it out.

“ She likes you” Dustin says. “ A lot. All you do is bring girls left and right and it hurts her feelings”

Eddie tilted his head as he looked over to you watching you get up from the table.

“ That doesn’t seem right” Eddie says.

“ Why not?” Mike asks.

“ Because Harrington’s into her and I thought she was too”

There was a sound of hands clasped against foreheads from the boys.

“ What?” Eddie asked.

“ You’re clueless as a rock”

“ What kind of rock?” Eddie asks, “ don’t make me kill you off at the start of next week’s campaign” he adds.

“ You wouldn’t” Eddie smirked folding his hands on the table.

“ Try me you little sheeps”

Eddie was sure that you were into Steve and Steve was into you. Oh Steve was really into you that why Eddie never thought of you that way. He didn’t think he was the type of guy you’d go for but he is confused more than ever.

“ You lost in there?” Jeff tried to joke causing Eddie to bang his hands on the table.

“ I’ve had enough of this” Eddie gets up as he turns to make his way over to you but you were already gone.

Through the rest of the day Eddie kept trying to get your attention or tried to talk to you but it never worked out.

At the end of the day, Eddie raced to the van to start and drove off seeing you walking down the road. He slowly stopped besides you and rolled down the window.

“ Let me give you a ride home” he says. The sound of his voice causes you to halt in your step and turn your head to look at him.

“ I’m okay, thank you” you brushed him off but Eddie shook his head. He wasn’t about to leave you here.

“ Let me take you home, I wanna make sure you make it home safe” he says.

“ I’m fine, Eddie” his bottom lip juttered out and he parked the van. He got out racing to the other side grabbing onto your wrist. The action caused your breath to hitched as he pulled you into his arms causing you to stumble as he caught you.

Your face was inches away from his.

His brown doe eye stare into yours as his breath hitched noticing the closeness between the two of you. A heat of red crossed his face as he pulled away and stepped back, rubbing the back of neck as he stared at the ground. You took this as your chance to walk away from him and head home like you have been planning too.

He heard the sound of your footsteps turning away from him and he shot his head up and grabbed onto your turning you around.

“ Where are you going?” You sent him a confusing glance and pointing down the road to your house.

“ Let me drive you home” he pleaded for the last time. If it wasn’t for those brown doe eyes of his then you’d never would of given in. You sighed and simply nodded your head giving into his advances as he mentally cheered in his head.

He opened the door and bowed down.

“ M’lady” he says. You surpassed a giggled but Eddie saw your were trying to hold your laughter in.

He saw the edges of your lips lift up in amusement as he smirked in accomplishment. Eddie quickly ran over to the driver side as he hopped into the warm car.

The familiar scent of pine, weed and cigarettes filled you bringing you comfort in a way and in another you didn’t want to remember this scent. Eddie tapped on the wheel as he drove you home and silently wished you turned to talk to him.

“ Steve kissed me” the words flew out of your mouth before you had a chance to hold them back.

The van jolted to a stop causing you to look over to him in question. But it’s the tight grip on the wheel and the side of his jaw that caught your attention. There was a sudden tension in the room and it felt sour. You can taste it in your mouth.

“ Kissed you? Did you like it?” He asked. There was sudden change in the air.

“ I don’t know” you mumbled with a shrug. Eddie chuckled.

“ Well in a way he’s prince charming so why would you? You always wanted someone to lift you off your feet. Why not, Harrington? He got the looks, the charm I suppose and everything else”

“ He doesn’t have one thing”

“ What’s that?” Eddie asked leaning back into his seat as he waited for the worst. Eddie had time to think and he didn’t see the clear picture before. But now he does and it scares him. He doesn’t want to lose you but he wants something more with you.

“ He doesn’t have my heart” with those words. A chill ran don Eddie’s spine as he watch you exit his van and make your way up the path. He rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

“ Who does then?” Your shoulder stiffen pausing in your feeling your heart race if you should tell him the truth or lie to him and protect yourself from feeling more hurt than you were already. You were confused too.

“ It doesn’t matter” you tell him not even bothering to glance at him, closing your eyes feeling the tears run down your cheeks. “ I’m sorry” you mumble to yourself as if he could hear you.

Eddie frowns hearing your words and watches you walk through the front door of your house and watches as you walk into your room. You shrugged off your backpack throwing it to the side. It didn’t really matter where you placed it at the moment.

You wiped the tears away with the back of your sleeve noticing the window was opened and when you went to close the window to draw the curtain, you saw him standing outside his van and looking up with those brown doe eyes at you fell in love with.

Eddie knew he was the person you had feeling for but he was scared that Steve might take you away from him. He was scared of ruining the friendship between the two of you. He couldn’t lose you.

He stayed in the van even when your parents questioned you about it during dinner time why Eddie was parked out front. At first they thought you were going to hang out with Eddie over at his house.

They were confused when you shook your head and rushed upstairs and locking yourself up in your room.

He was still there when you did. He stayed.

You couldn’t sleep knowing Eddie was sitting in the driver seat and waiting. You grabbed an extra blanket and a pillow knowing he didn’t bring anything and made your way outside. It was the knock at the window that startled him awake. He rubbed his eyes and yawned before his eyes set on you.

He unlocked the door as he stumbled up making a noise out of his mouth that you never heard of as he stretched his legs.

“ Here” you pushed the pillow and blanket into his chest. “ If your going to stay out here, then you have something to sleep on.”

“ Why won’t you talk to me?” He suddenly asked. The pillow hung from his one hand while the blanket hang from his other hand.

“ What do you meant?” You asked turning around and crossing your arms over your chest.

“ You’ve been avoiding me and you’ve been crying. What did I do?”

You huffed, uncrossing your arms and lick your dry lips tasting the salt from the tears from them.

“ You broke my heart over and over and over again” you mumbled.

“ Sweetheart..” You shook your head.

“ Have a good night, Munson” he winced when you used his last name. It was the first time he has heard it. You were really upset with him.

“ Sweetheart, please” he pleaded but in defeat he sighed as you walked back inside.

His head hang as he got into the back of the van and put the pillow down covering himself up with the blanket that you gave him. Your scent hits his nose as he closes his eyes. Tear run down his cheek.

How was he going to fix this?
