Steve’s tires squealed as he pulled into the parking lot of the bar, the way he had raced back to Hawkins from Indianapolis he was surprised he hadn’t been pulled over for speeding. Leaving his car quickly he ran through the parking lot, up the porch, and into the bar the door slamming closed behind him. “We have a problem.”

“Yeah, no shit.” Gareth muttered as he looked towards the mens restroom where the sound of someone getting sick was muffled behind the door. “Eddie finally drank himself into a puke fest.”

“Fuck..” Steve said, pushing his hand through his hair. “Hopefully that’ll help me sober up faster. I need him to be conscious for what I have to tell him.”

“I already started on coffee and I currently have a sandwich waiting for him.” Jeff said as he leaned on the bar looking over at Steve.

From her perch at the bar Lizzy looked up at Steve, concern on her pretty features. She had missed seeing you around the bar. And knowing that Eddie was so sad and there was nothing she could do to make him feel better just made her feel terrible. “Did you see Y/N?”

“Yeah.” He nodded as he walked farther into the room. “It’s more complicated than I thought. Much more.”

“What happened?” Robin asked as she hopped up onto the bar sitting on the counter. 

“We sho-” Steve was about to say they should wait until Eddie comes out and sobers up before he explains but the man in question interrupts that by stumbling out of the bathroom slowly. “Damn. You look like shit.”

Gareth’s wife Andrea came out after him. She was a nurse at Hawkins Memorial and out of everyone in the building currently she was the only one who didn’t get squeamish when vomit was involved. “Okay big guy, let's get you into a seat before you fall over. Again.”

Eddie looked up bleary eyed at Steve, his guitar calloused finger coming up to point at him. “You. I heard from someone that you wanted to fight me in unarmed combat.” Looking down at his arms he shook them out a moment before looking back up at Steve. “But you'll have to give me a few minutes. I'm still trying to figure out how to take my arms off.”

Andrea sighed as she hoisted him up the best she could with her nurse's strength and helped him to stumble towards the bar to take a seat on the stool. “Jeff, please tell me you have that sandwich.”

“Right here.” He said moving into the kitchen to grab the plate and was back out in seconds. He placed the plate down right as Eddie was plopped onto the stool. 

Wide eyed Steve looked over at everyone else. “When I left he was still drinking beer. What happened?!”

“He finished the beer.” Brandon said before jabbing his thumb behind him towards the back wall filled with liquor bottles. “Then he started on literally everything else.”

“Jesus fucking Christ.” Steve muttered as he wiped a hand down his face. Walking closer to the bar he looked at everyone. “We don’t have time for this.”

“How was she?” Robin asked quietly, her fingers fiddling with a loose string on the knee of her jeans. Was she mad at you? Yes. You hurt one of her friends that was a deal breaker in her book. But did she still care about you? Also yes. 

“Not great.” Steve sighed, hands now planted firmly on his hips. Looking down at Eddie he waited until the man started to eat, slowly and messily, but the bread would help soak up the booze. “She’s being blackmailed into marrying someone.”

It was quiet for a moment as everyone, except Eddie who couldn’t focus on anything right now, took a beat to let the information sink in before they all started talking over each other. “What?!” 

“Isn’t that illegal?!” 

“Do we need to go get her?!” 

“Who do I have to kill?!”

“Guys!” Steve shouted over them trying to get them to calm down. “I know. Okay. I know. I tried to get her to come with me but she couldn't. Her dad has dirt on Eddie that would ruin him and the band. She’s doing this to protect him.”

“I don’t need protection!” Eddie slurred as he looked up at Steve, his eyes bloodshot and glassy.

“We know that.” Gareth said, patting him on his back as Andrea put a cup of water in front of Eddie. 

“What you need is to eat, drink this water, have a cup of coffee, and take a nap.” The nurse said as gave Eddie a stern look. 

That look made him shrink back a little, he felt small, like he did when he was still a submissive under Dan. Andrea could be a Domme, if she really wanted too. He would pay good money to see her flog someone. With a little nod Eddie continued with his sandwich. 

Gareth turned to look at Steve. “So what happens now? With Y/N?”

Steve shrugged. “I was hoping that Eddie was sober enough to call his lawyer and figure that part out because if we don’t... Y/N gets married off against her will and shipped to Chicago.” 

“We can call him!” Lizzy said as she practically laid on the counter to dig into Jeff's pocket for his phone. Holding it up for him he smiled a bit at her as he took it. Clicking through the contacts until he found the one he wanted, Jeff put the little Nokia against his ear. A few seconds later Jeff shook his head and ended the call. 

“Straight to voicemail. We'll have to try later.” 

A collective of muttered cuss words sailed through the air as they all sat quietly trying to think of something, anything, that could help you. 

You felt like the world was caving in on you the closer it got to the party. With every minute that passed it felt harder and harder to breathe and you had to stop and focus on what you were doing. With shaking hands you pushed the pretty earring into the lobe of your ear before you took a step back and straightened the skirt of your ivory dress as you gazed at yourself in the mirror. You looked… Decent. Not as much of a blushing bride as your father would have liked but this was all the effort you were willing to put into this.

Moving away from the mirror you walked to your closet to grab the heel that would look nice with this dress and leaned against the door jam as you slipped them on your feet. Taking a breath you glanced at the watch on your wrist before you headed to your bed, you had a few moments before you had to be downstairs and in the car. Taking a seat you closed your eyes and counted to ten. You could do this. You could play the part and keep Eddie safe until Steve was able to figure out a way to fix this. 

Or you could stop being a fucking coward and call Daniel Christianson yourself. Slowly your eyes moved from your lap and over towards the phone that sat on your nightstand. You could do it. Everyone was getting ready. No where near a phone. “Come on.” You hissed to yourself. “Just do it or you’re stuck with Malloy forever.”

With a trembling hand you carefully lifted the receiver off the base and held it to your ear as you held your breath. When all you heard was a dial tone you almost cried right then. Quickly you dialed the numbers that you now knew by heart and put the phone against your ear listening to it ring. Your heart was pounding. “Please pick up.”

“Are you going to say hello this time?” Daniel Christianson's deep voice broke through the speaker and you gasped.

“H-how did you know it was me?”

“I have caller ID. It’s good with numbers.” He chuckled a bit. “May I ask who this is?”

Tears pricked your eyes as you looked up at the ceiling, trying not to ruin your makeup. “My… my name is Y/N. Um… Eddie… Eddie Munson… gave me your number a while back. He said you could help if I was in trouble.”

You heard his move a little, the squeaking of a chair clear over the line. “Are you okay?”

“I need your help.” You choked out, your throat feeling tighter by the second. You heard the doorbell ring. Time was up. “I don’t have time to explain.”

“Y/N! We’re leaving!” Your father called from downstairs. 

“Shit, I have to go.” You gasped out.

“Y/N, don’t hang up.” Dan said, he sounded worried. “Tell me what's wrong.”

Clearing your throat you tried to get a hold of yourself. “Uh... The bar. Hellfire. If you go to Hellfire and ask for Steve Harrington he can tell you everything.”

“Hellfire. Steve Harrington.” He repeated. “Okay. Okay. I’ll talk to him, then I'll be in touch.”

“You can’t call this number.” You rushed out. “Talk to Steve. He’ll get the information to me.”

“Okay… You stay safe.”

“I will.”

“Y/N!” Your father yelled again.

“I have to go. I’m sorry.” You said quickly before you hung up the phone as your father walked into your room.

“We’re waiting on you.” He said as he looked at his watch.

“I’m coming.” You muttered as you stood up and grabbed your tiny clutch from the bed before you followed him out of your room. With one last glance at the phone you close the door.

Eddie groaned as he came too, his head was pounding, his mouth was dry, and he still felt slightly drunk. He had over done it on the tequila. Sitting up he winced at pulsing in his brain before he looked up over the back of the couch to see who was still around. The bar was practically empty save for his friends. The lights weren't dim and the music was off. Ugh thank god..

“Well look who decided to enter the land of the living.” Jeff said from his spot at the bar. Everyone looked over as Eddie slowly stood up on his feet and started for them. 

“How long was I out?”

“Long enough.” Steve said from his spot leaning on the bar. “I hope you don't mind but since you were passed out and we're kinda in emergency mode we closed the bar for the night.” 

“Emergency mode?” Eddie asked as he stumbled forward. “What happened?”

“Eddie Bear,” Lizzy said as she got off her stool and walked to him. Taking his hand she led him to a stool and sat him down. “You should sit down for this.” 

“What's wrong?” Eddie asked, his worry was finally starting to sober him up completely. “What happened?”

“Y/N’s dad is using you to blackmail her into marrying Peter Malloy.” Steve said, looking down at his friend. 

Eddie blinked for a moment, his brows going up to his under his bangs as he stared at Steve. “I'm sorry… what?”

“She's being blackmailed.” Robin repeated as panic started to settle in her chest. “We don’t know what to do… All of this sounds insanely illegal and she’s all alone up there. Her dad went through your shit… is he going to go through our shit?! Steve, what if he somehow finds out about that science test I cheated on in high school?!”

“He won’t. He wasn’t looking for that.” Steve said, waving her off.

“Also, like we don’t know this guy! What if he hurts her?! She’s told us he sucks, we met him at the funeral and we know he sucks, and now she has to marry him?! She’s going to be stuck fore-”

“Robs,” Steve said, putting his hand on her shoulder. “Breathe.”

“What do you mean he went through my shit?” Eddie questioned as he looked up at Steve. When the boy took a little too long to answer, the metalhead was on his feet with his hands on Steve’s shoulders. “What shit?”

Sighing, Steve looked at Eddie. “You need to call your lawyer. He found your criminal record and went through your financials. He’s threatening to release those to the public if Y/N doesn’t do what he wants.”

“...Fuck.” Eddie said, putting his hands over his face before he nodded a bit, trying to get control of his emotions. Pushing his hand in his pocket he pulled out his phone and started to shift through the contacts. “Okay… okay.”

“I have a question for you.” Steve said as he looked at Eddie. Might as well get this over with. “And I need you to answer me honestly.”

“What?”

“Why didn’t you tell us you had a kid?” Steve asked quietly. 

Eddie looked up at him forgetting his phone for a moment, his brows coming together in the middle in clear confusion. “Cause I don’t.”

Though the door to the bar opened no one looked up, still too interested in what Steve had just asked Eddie to pay attention to the front door. The confusion based staring contest was getting heated at this point in time. Brandon’s voice called out to the person. “Sorry we’re closed tonight.”

“Perfect. Now I can talk to you without my eardrums bursting.”

“Dan?” Eddie’s head snapped over to look with wide eyes at the sound of the familiar deep voice. “I was just about to call you.”

“No need, I’m here.” The older man said as he walked towards the group. He was a tall man, taller than Eddie at least, close to six foot if anyone had to guess. Probably in his late forties to early fifties if his graying hair was any indication, and he was a wall of muscles. Completely fit and incredibly intimidating.  

Eddie shoved his phone into his pocket and walked over towards his old dom. It had been a few months since he was able to see him in person and when Dan opened his arms he went straight in for a hug. His arms were a comforting safe place. Everything Eddie needed right now. “I’m glad you’re here.”

“I had to come,” Dan said as he let Eddie go to look at him with a little smile. “A very nervous young lady called and told me to come and speak with her cousin. Steve.”

“Y/N called you?” The younger man asked, looking up at Dan. His heart was pounding in his chest, he remembered telling you to call Dan if you needed help and he couldn’t get to you.  

“She did.” He nodded and looked around at the group by the bar. He recognized all the boys from the band and their girls but there was one boy and girl he hadn’t met yet. Pointing at the new boy he narrowed his eyes a bit. “Are you Steve Harrington?”

“Uh, yeah.” Steve nodded his head and moved towards him with his hand out. “That’s me.”

“Pleasure to meet you.” Dan said, shaking his hand. “Now tell me everything.”

The ballroom of the Conrad was beautiful. A tall decorated ceiling with chandeliers, cream walls with wood and gold details, the red and gold carpeted floor brought in a splash of color that was needed to keep the room from looking monochromatic. Tables were scattered around the room with golden chairs, the buffet table sat against the back walls holding all kinds of food and desserts. Waiters wandered around the room offering drinks. Everything was beautiful, but unfortunately, completely overwhelming. It was too bright, too loud, there were too many people, and you barely knew a handful of them. Steve’s parents were here but not Steve, your father and stepmother, and the Malloy's of course. No one was here for you. Not really. 

You were polite, you smiled, thanked everyone for coming, and chatted like you always would at your fathers parties. On the outside you looked happy but inside you felt like you were drowning. You kept trying to swim up but no matter how far you got or how hard you kicked you kept getting pulled back down into the depths. 

You took a deep breath as you downed your fourth glass of champagne, so far tonight you’ve been told at least five times how lucky you were, that Peter was a catch, and that no less than six women had admitted they would die to be in your place. You had to bite your tongue to keep from telling them he was all theirs if they could keep from choking on all the chauvinism he oozed.

Passing the empty glass to a wandering waiter you smiled at him when he gave you a little grin. “Thank you.” 

Looking around the room you spotted a door that led to an outdoor patio and started that way, hoping to get some air to help with this feeling of not being able to breathe. You were halfway through the room when you heard your name being called. Looking over Peter smiled and waved you over, he wasn’t alone though, more people for you to meet. Great. Taking another deep calming breath you shifted your footing and started over towards them stretching a pretty smile on your lips that you hoped didn’t make you look crazy. Or maybe you did. Then no one would want to talk to you.

“Sweetheart,” Peter said as he held his arm out for you, placing it around your waist when you got close enough. “This is my partner at the firm Andrew Chen and his wife Wendy. This is Y/N L/N, my fiance.” 

“It’s so nice to finally meet you,” Wendy said as she placed her hand on your shoulder. Her brown eyes held nothing but laughter. She was teasing you both. “He hasn’t shut up about you.” 

“Nice to meet you both.” You smiled as you shook Andrew’s hand. 

“What are you doing with a guy like him?” Andrew said as he looked over at Peter with a laugh. “She’s out of your league, man.”

“Don’t I know it,” Peter laughed, hugging you closer to his side. You felt your skin crawl.

Andrew smiled before looking over at you. “And you still agreed to marry this guy?”

“I guess you could say I came as part of a business deal.” You smiled leaning your head against Peter’s shoulder. Making a joke of your shitty situation. You felt him tighten his hold on you, his fingers digging into your side painfully and you had to stop yourself from wincing.

The small group laughed at your “joke”, before it quieted down enough for a bit of small talk.

“So where did you meet?” Wendy asked as she took a sip of her champagne.

“Oh…  We me-” You started but Peter interrupted you. 

“We met at one of her fathers parties. Our dad’s are going to be business partners for a new company up in Chicago. That’s why they wanted us to look at those contracts Drew.”

“Oh I remember that.” He nodded with a smile. 

“Once those contracts were signed he threw a party and invited us down.” Peter said, smiling down at you. “I met her that night. Couldn’t keep my eyes off her.”

You remembered that night. He stared at you for most of it and it creeped you out. 

“That’s so cute!” Wendy sighed as she looked up at Andrew. 

The four of you chatted for a few more minutes until someone else called Andrew and Wendy over. “Oh shit that’s Michael Chance. I’ve been working on getting a contract with his guy for months. Excuse us.”

You watched as the two of them walked away and once they were out of sight you tried to take a step to the side away from Peter but his grip only tightened on you.

“Are you alright?” Peter asked, looking down at you.

“I’m fine.” You said waving his concern away.

“Are you sure?” He asked. “It isn’t like you to act this way.”

“How would you know?” You snapped. “You don’t know anything about me.”

“I know everything about you.”

“What’s my favorite color? My favorite book?” You asked as you looked up at him, blinking curiously. “How do I like my coffee?”

Peter floundered a little as he searched for answers for the questions you posed to him. He didn’t know any of them.

“You don’t know, do you?” Pulling out of his grip you glared at him. “Of course you don’t. Cause you don’t know me. If you did I’m sure you wouldn’t even like me. But you like the idea of me. Well let me help you get to know me a little better. I think I'm a fairly good person. I like to bake and cook for the people I love, I’m sarcastic and a little bratty, and I don’t like you. I’m not an idiot, I know how business deals work with my father. He gets what he wants as long as the other party gets what they want, and you want me. Not because you love me, or like me, but because you think I'm something pretty and you want to own me. Now you get to. So something you should know right now is that as soon as we say “I do” I’m going to make your life a living hell… Til death do us part.” 

Sending him one last glare you turned and walked away from him, back towards the patio that you were originally headed to when he called you over. Peter watched you move out of his reach, his jaw clenched in a low simmering anger. He knew that you weren’t stupid. He knew that you didn’t want this. But he didn’t care. He wanted you and he got you, you didn’t have to like him to marry him. As time went on he knew that you would grow to love him. Even if it took years.

Dan sighed as he placed the glass of his favorite bourbon on the small table. Eddie always kept a bottle on the back shelf for him in case he should stop by and damn did he need it right now. Steve had just filled him and Eddie in on the entire fucked up tale and he had to admit it would make for a great movie. There were scandals, love confessions, blackmail, forced marriage, and even a little bondage thrown in for spice.

“Looks like your girl found herself in a little trouble.” The lawyer said as he looked over at Eddie. “But the good news is we have a case.”

“We do?” Steve asked in what could only be called a hopeful tone.

“We do.” Dan said as he emptied his glass. “Everything currently happening is incredibly illegal. We have laws that say you can’t force someone to marry another against their will. And I happen to know for a fact that they altered Ed's finances. He doesn’t have any children. There was one scare a few years ago but the paternity test put that to rest very quickly.”  

“So we can get her out?” Eddie asked as he leaned towards his old dom, his arms on the table top, he looked eager. He wanted to see you so badly.

“We can.” He nodded. “It’ll take some time and I’ll have to call in a few favors but we can fix this.”

“How long?” Eddie asked as he got off his stool to pace around. “I don't want her to be stuck up there any longer than she already has been.” 

“A few weeks,” He said, running his hand down his short beard. “We have to pull everything we can get on her father, and the Malloy’s. With how quickly everything is moving it’s obvious this isn’t the first shady deal for either of them. Plus, the name Peter Malloy is familiar to me.” 

“He’s a lawyer in Chicago.” Reaching into this pocket Steve pulled out the card Peter had given him and handed it to Dan. “He gave me this today. He wants us to hang out, get to know each other, because Y/N and I are so close.”

“When's the wedding?” Dan asked as he looked at the tiny business card. Yeah that name was familiar but not because of his work as a lawyer. But because he was a complete creep.

“I don’t know yet, maybe a few weeks? She was getting all those last minute details done today. But the engagement party is happening right now.” Steve said, pointing to the table. It made him nervous knowing that you were three surrounded by people who didn’t actually care about your well being.

“That’s good. Unfortunately we’ll need her to continue to play the part until I can get our evidence and talk to a judge.” Dan muttered as he put the business card in his wallet for safe keeping. “I have to go. The sooner we get this handled the sooner she can come home.”

“Thank you Dan,” Eddie said as he watched the older man get off his stool. “I’ll pay you back for this.”

Waving his hand in the air Dan shook his head leveling Eddie with a no nonsense look. “Pro bono. This girl is important to you which makes her important to me.”

Both Steve and Eddie gave a sigh of relief. Dan would take care of this and everything would be okay. You were coming home. 

The morning after the engagement party you woke up as soon as the sun hit your window, the light of the early morning shining bright in your eyes making your head pound just a little. You definitely had too much to drink yesterday. Rolling over in your bed you grabbed the second pillow from by your head and pulled it to your chest to cuddle. You were not ready to get up yet and face the day so cuddling a pillow imagining it was Eddie would have to do, but the door to your room opening killed that and your stepmother's voice was like nails on a chalkboard. 

“Get up.” She sighed as she leaned on the door frame. “We have an appointment for your dress fitting.”

“I didn’t even pick out a dress. How can I have a fitting?” You mumble into your pillows..

“Charlotte and I picked one out for you.” Evelyn said as she picked at her manicured nails. “We are leaving in twenty minutes.”

You kept your eyes closed as she left the room leaving your door wide open. Mostly to force you out of bed. She did that when you were younger too and didn’t want to go to school. She would come in, turn on all the lights, pull your blankets away, and then leave with the door open. In her mind it was a way to get you moving, since you were getting out of bed to close the door, you might as well get dressed, and go to school. You could still hear her heels clicking as she moved down the hall. Groaning you wiped the sleep from your eyes as you glared at the door before pushing the pillow away and sitting up. You weren’t sure how today was going to go but you prayed to anyone who was listening that the dress was at least decent. 

Forty minutes later you found yourself standing in front of the mirror at the dress shop wearing the dress that was chosen for you and it was hideous. The dress was everything you feared it would be. A pure white, floor length dress covered in lace, ruffles, and heavy beading. The neckline was way too high and it covered everything up to your neck so it felt like lace was choking you. The sweetheart neckline did nothing for you and you had to wear a corset so the waist could be cinched down tightly to give you that hourglass shape that was accentuated by the pastel pink sash that led to a giant bow that sat right at the small of your back. Oh, and you didn’t even want to talk about the puffed sleeves or the full ball gown ruffled skirt. It was like a horrible mix of an old southern belle dress and something straight out of the 80’s. Gone with the Wind came to mind. You didn’t know where they found this monstrosity but it needed to go back to hell where it belonged. You felt like you couldn’t take a decent breath but whether that was from the corset or your anxiety you didn’t know. 

The attendant, whose name was Lauren, could see you weren't happy but when she turned to talk to Evelyn and Mrs. Malloy she bit her tongue when your soon to be mother in law cooed at you.  

“Don’t you just look like a dream?!” Mrs. Malloy said as she stood up from the couch she was on to come over to you fixing the giant pastel pink bow that sat just above your ass. “Peter’s going to love it!”

You gave her a tight smile. ”I'm so glad."

“I think it’s perfect.” Evelyn said from her spot on the couch. She looked way too smug for your taste as you glared at her through the mirror.

You have never wanted to hurt her so badly in your life. The need to rip her hair out was strong but you were better than that.  

“Don't you just love it?” Mrs. Malloy asked as she hugged your shoulders in between her hands, staring at you in the mirror, pure joy on her face. “You know my Peter always had a thing for Scarlett O'Hara.” 

‘Probably because she's as shitty as he is,’ You thought. Taking a steady breath you looked at her in the mirror. “I'm sorry but isn't this... a little… much?” 

“Nonsense.” She said fluffing up your sleeve. “It's beautiful, a statement. Do you not like it?”

You battled with yourself for a moment, you didn’t want to upset the lady, but you couldn’t wear this. So you decide to tell her the truth. “No. I don't. This isn't what I would choose.” 

“Oh…” She said, taking a small step back. Her joy dwindled a little as she spoke, making you feel terrible. “Oh I didn't realize. Evelyn said you would love it.” 

‘Of course she did.’ You thought bitterly. “I'm sorry I know you love this dress but I can't wear this. Is there any way we can exchange it or something?” 

Lauren nodded her head vigorously. She was more than ready to get you out of this horrible gown. Turning she called over one of her coworkers and spoke to her quietly before she turned back to you as the other girl ran off. “Absolutely. We can find something that is in the same price range and exchange it.” 

“As much as I love this dress,” Mrs. Malloy said as she fiddled with one of the skirt ruffles. “I would rather you have a dress you want.”

‘Oh thank fuck.’  You thought as you bundled the skirts into your hands and stepped off the little podium to follow the lady back into the dressing room to change into something completely different.

Once the door was closed you dropped the wads of fabric and looked in the mirror again before you looked over at Lauren. “Can I say this dress is awful without offending the designer?”

“Oh no,” She said, shaking her head as she came up to you to start getting you out of this monstrosity. “This dress is terrible. I don’t even know why we have it in stock. I should have known something was fishy when two older ladies came in without the bride to look at dresses. But don’t worry we will get you in one that you love.”

You only smiled a little and let her fuss around you to remove the large bow and start to undo the laces from the back of the dress. You thought about what she said and you fully believed you would never find a dress you loved when you weren’t marrying the man you loved. Plus on top of everything you missed your mom, you always imagined looking for dresses with her and she wasn’t here to hype you up or defend you against the two harpies in the other room.

Stepping out of the giant dress puddle you watched as Lauren put it back on the hanger before she came back over to unlace the corset from around you. Once it was loose enough you took a deep breath. “Holy shit.”

“I know corsets not made for you are such a pain.” She said as moved around your front to pop the busk open and had you hold it closed while she grabbed a strapless bra and the robe from the chair in the corner of the room.  

Once you were back in some more comfortable undergarments, the soft silky robe over your shoulders, there was a knock on the door behind you, turning you looked over your shoulder to see Lauren’s coworker enter the room with a couple of hangers in her hands. Lauren took those dresses and handed her the southern belle horror. “Thank you Nicole! Please take this dress away and bury it.”

Nicole looked horrified at the dress and bundled it up in her hands. “Gladly. They actually put you in this thing?”

“Yeah,” You nodded. 

“I am so sorry.” She muttered as she slipped from the room taking the offending garment with her.

“I hope we can convince our manager to throw that out.” Lauren said as she placed the other dresses on the hooks in the wall. “Now, let's get you into something a little more this century.” 

An hour later you left the shop with a dress you actually liked. It was an off the shoulder satin and lace a-line princess dress, floor length with a good train and moderate beading. It was classic yet modern and a thousand times better than the other one. Mrs. Malloy even got some of her money back for the first dress when they exchanged it for this one but she gave it back to the shop so they could rush the order. 

You spent the rest of the day wandering the city with Mrs. Malloy and Evelyn. Picking out their dresses for the wedding, getting appointments for hair and make up, and picking out the flowers for the bouquets. When Mrs. Malloy paid for four bouquets you were incredibly confused, it was just you, you didn’t have a bridal party. 

“Peter’s cousins wanted to be bridesmaids.” She said with a smile. “They already have dresses. You'll meet them when we go back to Chicago for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.”

“Oh…” You sighed. “Great.” 

God fucking damnit you couldn’t even pick out your own bridal party! You didn’t even know these girls, you always imagined that Tiffany and Ada would be up there with you Robin and Lizzy as well. On top of all of that you were just finding out the wedding wouldn’t even be in town! They were making you go to Chicago!

Soon you found yourself walking down the street behind the two ladies as they gossiped about who knew what you weren’t listening to them. 

“Oh the cake!” Mrs. Malloy said as she stopped in front of a bakery. It was like an afterthought for her as she looked in the window at the display. “We need to order the cake!”

“I was thinking I could make my own cake.” You said stopping next to her. “I own a bakery.”

“Nonsense.” She said pushing the door open. “You have so much on your plate already, making a cake shouldn’t be something you need to worry about. It’s only three weeks until the wedding!”

Evelyn smiled as she walked in after her leaving you standing on the sidewalk. Your eyes burned as you looked at the display. The one thing you were trained for, that you loved to do the most, and you couldn’t even do that. You wanted to make your own cake. Taking in a calming breath you pushed open the door and walked into the bakery. It smelled sweet like vanilla with a hint of coffee, it was familiar, it smelled like home. You felt your spirit start to break. 

It felt like years but it was only hours later that you finally found yourself back in your fathers house. Dropping down onto your bed you stared at the ceiling letting out a breath in a large sigh, you feel like the weight of the world is sitting on your chest. Mrs. Malloy and Evelyn said today was successful but you just felt defeated. At least you were able to convince them to change your dress. How the shop was going to get it ready in three weeks you have no idea. 

Rolling over you grabbed the pillow you were cuddling this morning and buried your face in it. What was Eddie doing right now? Did he miss you? Did he hate you? You didn’t really end things well… Biting your lip you felt your eyes start to burn again. You couldn’t think about him right now. Steve would take care of everything. At least you hoped he would… 

Tossing the pillow to the side you sat up as you heard Mrs. Malloy call a goodbye to you from the front door. 

Mrs. Malloy. 

You are gonna be a Mrs. Malloy soon. Scrunching up your face you stood from the bed and paced around your room tears starting to pool on your lower lashes. You didn’t like the sound of that, it didn’t flow well. Sniffing, you walked over to the mirror that sat on your vanity. In three weeks you were getting married. To a man you hated. 

Wiping your face as you stood looking in the mirror. You barely recognized yourself and now you were getting a new last name. Straightening your back you thrust your hand forward as if to give someone a handshake a fake smile on your face. The same smile you’ve been holding for a while now. “I’m Y/N Malloy.”

You frowned as you shook your head, that just felt wrong. Sniffing, you blink back the tears as you try again, shaking your hands out before you take a deep breath and look in the mirror again. Your hand went out, the smile plastered on your face. But you faltered, your lower lip wobbling. The tears finally broke through your barriers, sliding down your cheeks as you spoke through the lump in your throat. “I’m…. Y/N… Malloy…”

Turning away from the mirror you groaned as you walked towards the window seat that faced the garden. You always loved this view but tonight it didn’t do anything for you. Taking a seat you pulled your legs to your chest and cried. God damnit you were so tired of crying. 

Eddie sat in his old van hidden in the darkness on the side road next to your fathers house, his hand tapping on the steering wheel anxiously as he watched the window that led to your room. He remembered which one was yours from when you showed him at your grandmother's funeral. He had been sitting out here for hours hoping to just get a glimpse of you. But the lights in your room had remained off until recently and he sat up straight when they came to life. He hated that he was so close but so far and he really hated how he felt like such a stalker but if this was the only way he could see you then so be it. 

'Says the stalker.' He reprimanded himself in his head. For the next few minutes he watched you as you paced. 

You moved about your space, your figure coming in and out of the view from the window before you stepped away from the window all together and he sighed. "Come on baby, let me see you. I need to know you're okay."

A few minutes later you were back in full sight and he sat forward to get a better look at you over the dashboard as you sat on the window seat he knew was there and curled in on yourself shoulders shaking. "No.. don't… don't cry sweetheart."

He watched for a few minutes before he couldn’t take it anymore, the need to comfort you was too strong. As silently as he could he slipped from the van and closed the door without so much as a squeak from the old hinges. Silently, he stuck to the shadows moving towards the fence and once he got close to the wall he jumped, his hands grasping the top of the six foot iron and brick fence. Lifting himself with a groan he swung one of his legs up then the other, careful to not hit anything important, and as he reached the other side he easily dropped down onto the grass in your fathers side yard. He stayed for a moment and when no one screamed at him, he snuck through the gardens trying hard to avoid being seen from the windows as he moved through the yard until he found your window. Now he just needed to get your attention. 

Looking around he tried to find something to throw, anything would work. His eyes zero’d in on the small pebbles that surrounded the rose bushes and grinned. Well this always worked in the movies. Crouching down he grabbed a handful of the small rocks from the flowerbed and took a few steps back, praying to a god he didn’t believe in that he would hit your window since he wasn’t much of an athlete. Taking aim he chucked a rock up and quietly cheered when it hit before he did it again.

Your head lifted up and you wiped at your face as you looked confused at the sound, what was that? You were about to brush it off when another rock hit your window and you flinched, turning so you could look out the window, you gazed down into the garden. That’s when you saw him standing there with a small smile on his face, his eyes soft even from this distance, you blinked. Eddie? Oh my god, you have finally gone insane. Seeing the one person you want to be with the most outside your window. He couldn’t be here. Wouldn’t be here. That would be stupid. 

Another small rock hit your window and you gasped when you looked at him watching as he gave a little wave. He was here! You smiled at him before panic rushed in. Your eyes went wide. He wasn’t supposed to be here! What if he was caught!? “Eddie..”

Quickly you leap from the window seat and rushed from view making him frown as he watched you leave. Taking a few steps backward he dropped the rest of the stones in his hand and looked around, what should he do now? You ran from the window so quickly. Did you not want to see him? A sound to his left grabbed his attention and he quickly ducked behind some foliage as the side door opened. “Shit..”

“Eddie?” You whispered as you stepped outside and closed the door. Looking around you noticed he wasn’t there anymore and bit your lip. You couldn’t see him anymore. Had he just been some trick your mind was playing? Pushing your hair out of your face you looked up at your window. Was he just a figment of your imagination?

Peeking up over the bush he was hiding behind, Eddie sighed in relief as he stood up a bit and hissed at you getting your attention. He watched as your head snapped over and you stared at him for a moment before you started for him, your hands coming up to grab his shoulders. You couldn’t stop touching him and he couldn’t stop staring at you, his hands now on your hips, fingers squeezing the meat beneath them. He could feel your hands as they moved around his shoulders, neck, cheeks and hair before you finally pulled yourself together. Your eyes were wide, breathing a little stuttery as you tried not to cry. He was here.

“What are you doing here?” You muttered, in complete shock. Eddie was here, in front of you, touching you. A noise from the house snapped you out of your shock and you let out a curse, you couldn’t just stand out in the open like this, looking over at the house you looked around before you quickly started to push him back into the relative safety of the trees. At least there you could hide away from prying eyes.

“I had to see you.” He said, his hands coming up to cup your jaw. “I’ve missed you.”

Tears brimmed your eyes. God, you’ve missed him so much. “If anyone sees you, they’-”

“Let them see me!” He said louder than he meant too but he was angry. His hand moved to your chin lifting your face to the side to see the slight hollowness of your cheeks, the almost healed bruise. More anger flared in his chest, they were starting to break you down until you were nothing but a shadow of your former self. “Did they do this?”

“That's not important right now.” 

“Don't defend them!” 

“I'm not defending them, I'm protecting you!” You hissed. Closing your eyes you sighed. “If they find you they’ll have you arrested for trespassing.”

“I’m willing to risk that.” Eddie said as he pushed some of your hair off your forehead. Where was his feisty girl?  

“I’m not.” You said, shaking your head trying to get him to lower his voice. “Eddie please. You can’t be here.” 

“Well, I’m not leaving until we talk.”

“Eddie!” You whined as you looked back towards the house before turning back to him, your arms pushing him away a bit. “You wanna talk? Fine, let's talk. Why the fuck did you not tell me you had a kid?!”  

“Because I don’t.” He said with a shake of his head. “I had a scare once but we did a test and the kid’s not mine. I paid maybe three months of child support before we found out.”

“I saw the papers, Eddie! You don’t need to lie!”

“I’m not lying! Do you know how easy it is to doctor records with computers now?” 

You stared at him, your eyes searching for any sign of a lie. When you don’t see any you sighed in relief letting your head fall onto his shoulder. “Oh thank god.”

“Sweetheart, listen, Steve told me everything.” He muttered putting his hand on the back of your neck, “I know you only did what you did to keep my secrets. To protect me. But that’s not your job baby.” 

“It is when it’s my father that’s threatening you.” Leaning back you looked up at him with sad eyes. “You should go. Just forget about me. It’ll be safer for you.”

“If you think for one moment that I’m going to let you just walk out of my life without a fight, you’re not as smart as I thought you were.”

“I’m not worth this Eddie.” You whispered.

His look turned sour for a moment and in a flash his hand moved from your neck into your hair, his fingers firmly pushing into your locks and pulling your head back a little so you would have to look up at him. A gasp left you as he leaned forward so he could whisper in your ear. “I don’t ever want to hear you say that again. No one talks badly about the woman I love. Not even the woman herself. You’re worth fighting for. Do you understand me?”

Tears fell from your eyes as the pain radiated on your scalp but you could barely concentrate on that. He still loved you. Eddie had just told you he still loved you. Nodding you felt him let your hair go and you laid your forehead on his shoulder as you hugged him close to you. Your whispered reply was hard to hear but he got it and it made his heart thump in his chest. “I love you too.”

“We’re going to fix this sweetheart. I promise you. You aren’t going to marry that asshole and you’re coming home. We just need time.” His hand went to the back of your head, his fingers playing with a lock of your hair as he leaned his cheek against the crown of your head holding you as close as he could. It was wonderful to feel you in his arms again. 

“Eddie the wedding is in three weeks… in Chicago.”

Pulling you from his shoulder he smiled down at you as his thumbs brushed away the tears from under your eyes. “That's good to know. But we have a plan that will get you out of this while also taking down your dad and the Malloy's. Dan’s looking into it but we need you to play along a little longer. Do you trust me?”

“With my life.” You nodded. 

“Good..” He kissed your forehead, the tip of your nose, and then finally your lips. It was sweet and loving, everything you both had been missing. Putting his forehead against yours he whispered to you. “It’s going to be okay.” 

“Y/N?” Your father called making you gasp and pull away from Eddie to look towards the house. When had he left the house? Was he close? Had he seen Eddie?

“Coming!” You yelled back pushing Eddie back towards the fence in your panic. He needed to get out of here. “You have to go.”

Eddie nodded as your father called for you again. Pushing his hand into the pocket of his jeans he pulled out a necklace and held it out to you. A guitar pick just like the one he gave you before hung on a silver chain. “This is yours if you want it.”

“Y/N!” Your father was getting more annoyed the more he had to call you.

Holding your hand out you took the necklace and held it against your chest. Turning around you cleared your throat as you called back. “I’m coming!”

“I love you.” Eddie said as he grabbed your hand, pulling you close to give you one more kiss. “I’m coming back for you.”

“I love you.” Kissing him one last time you push him towards the fence. “Now go!”

You watched as he made a running jump to grab the top of the fence and climbed over it quickly. Once he was on the other side you shoved the necklace in your pocket and started to move out of the trees towards your dad who called you again. You took a deep breath to calm your emotions as you caught sight of him. “I’m here. Sorry. I just needed some fresh air.”

“I’ve been calling for you!” He hissed when you got close enough. “The neighbors must think I’m insane. Now get inside. Peter’s here to see you.”

“Great.” You mutter as you pass him, giving one last look at the fence Eddie had climbed over. Hoping and praying that this won’t be the last time you see him.

Overprotective (Brandon Walsh, Dylan McKay x Reader)

Description : you are best friends with Dylan and Brandon, and let just say that they can be a tad overprotective when it comes to there best friend y/n

Requested : nope

Warnings : None

"So... would you like to go out with me this friday night?" asked a guy who had his hand above you're head, you on the other hand was twirling your money pieces blushing as the boy.

"I would love to." you said as you smiled, he beamed a big grin before walking away

Meanwhile Brandon and Dylan were watching the whole thing happen.

“Way to go y/n!” Said Brandon as he held his hand up giving you a high five which to you was a surprise but you gave him one anyway

“Thanks… guys…” you said as you shut your locker before walking away “either of you want to tell me why you were spying on mine and masons conversation?” You asked as you turned around to face the boys with a smirk on your face, clutching your books close to your chest

“Umm… would you look at that Brenda is calling for me.” Stammered Dylan “sorry but I got to go…”

With that Dylan left

“And I need to meet andrea about that… article for the blaze.”

And at that Brandon gave you a pat on the shoulder before walking away, making you roll your eyes before walking away.

——

“Ignore my brother he can be a bit dramatic at times.” Said Brenda as she was helping you get ready for your date, you, on the other hand, didn't mind it.

"Oh it's fine, you should have seen my dad, he wouldn't even let me out of the house," you said

"Don't worry, mines the same way when Dylan comes around," said Brenda as she put the last remaining hairspray onto your hairstyle "Perfect."

You looked at yourself in the mirror, admiring yourself. Your hair was done up in curls as it perfectly framed your face

"Thanks, Bren, your the best." you said as you hugged your best friend, that was soon interrupted when Brandon walked through the door

"Now if that guy starts to make you uncomfortable, let me know." Said Brandon which earned a slap from Brenda.

"Brandon!"

"What, just saying."

Beep Beep

"That's him, bye guys," you said as you grabbed your purse before darting out the door

"They grow up so fast," said Brandon as he faked a tear, Brenda rolls her eyes at her twin brother
