I'm on the highway to hell *Heavy head banging*

─────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ──────

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" I glance between my mom and brother and they both smile happily back at me.

"Indie, go live your life, you don't have to take care of us. That's my job." My mom giggles as she pulls me into a bone-crushing hug. "Just use protection and remember that traveling can be hard on relationships." She whispers into my ear. I pull back and scrunch my face up.

"Ew. Mom. Don't say that." I giggle and she smiles fondly at me. I turn to my brother and he stares at me with a giddy smile.

"I'm gonna miss you Dusty." I frown and he soon mirrors my face. He rushes into my arms and I squeeze him tightly.

"Don't worry about me, sis. I'll be okay. And I'll make sure to visit Wayne every Friday just like I promised." He mumbles into my shoulder and I nod hugging him just a tad tighter. When we pull away I place a small kiss on his forehead and he sniffles a bit. I quickly put on a smile to try and keep away my own tears.

"Here, I'll throw that in Eddie's van." Sailor beams as he roughly takes my backpack off my shoulder. All my other bags had been packed the night before and this one just a few of the basics. Sailor skips down the front steps and over to the van, tossing my bag inside through an open window. I sigh shaking my head and turning back to my family.

"Thanks again, mom for coming home early. I... I didn't wanna leave without saying goodbye." I feel tears welling up in my eyes at the thought of it all.

"My sweet girl. I just want you and Dusty to be happy. Whatever it takes for that to happen, I'll do it." She smiles brightly and pulls me in for one last hug.

"My love... I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have to hit the road soon. Especially, if you want to say goodbye to everyone else one last time." Eddie's voice is soft and sweet as he walks up the stairs from behind me. I pull away from my mom to look at him and nod slowly.

"O-Okay." I sigh softly.

"Eddie." My mom sings sweetly. "Come here." He walks closer and she pulls him into a tight hug as well. I stand there smiling at the two of them. Eddie wraps his arms around my mom and snuggles into her.

"I'll take good care of her. I promise." He sighs sweetly.

"I know you will." My mom laughs and she pulls away. She pats his cheek lightly and grins up at him. "You always have. Just use protection." She says again.

"EW! MOM!" Dustin shouts and stares at her disgusted.

"Come here, Henderson." Eddie chuckles and pulls my brother into a hug as well. "It was good seeing you. Don't you ever change, okay?" Eddie says seriously as he pulls away from my brother, holding onto his shoulders. "Promise me."

"I wasn't planning on it." Dustin smiles widely and I can feel my heart warm in my chest, watching the two boys I love the most have this pure moment together. "But..." Dustin's smile fades into a serious glare which causes Eddie to raise his brows. "If you hurt my sister... in any way. I will hunt you down like a demidog and burn you alive." Dustin ends his threat with a fun-loving laugh. He shakes his head as if he joking but speaks once again. "I'm so dead serious man, I'll murder you." His face falls into a serious scowl and Eddie looks over at me. I smile sweetly and Dustin laughs.

"I promise, I won't do anything to hurt her, Henderson." Eddie chuckles nervously. Dustin nods and his lips form a smile.

"Good good."

"Dustin. Your sister is more than capable of taking care of herself." My mother scolds softly.

"Mom, he's just doing his brotherly duties." I giggle and Eddie makes his way to my side. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me gently into his side.

"Yes, yes, well, there's no need. It's Eddie. He's loved you forever." My mom laughs and both me and Eddie blush deeply.

"Uh... how did you-" Eddie starts and my mom flashes him a knowing smile.

"Eddie, darling, you grow up running around this house with Indie. I saw the way you followed her around and how you looked at her when she wasn't paying much attention." My mother chuckles and I look up at Eddie whose face is a deep red.

"Right." He mumbles embarrassed.

"Okay, we should probably leave." I hum softly. Eddie looks down at me and smiles.

"Right." He repeats again causing all of us to laugh.

"I'm really gonna miss you guys." I bite my lip a bit to keep the emotions down. "I love you so much."

"We love you more, Indiana." My mom hums and pulls Dustin into her side.

"Promise you'll call?" Dustin mumbles through a few tears.

"I promise, Dusty." I smile and he nods.

"Okay... you ready, my love?" Eddie looks down at me and I nod. "Bye guys." Eddie smiles sweetly. We all wave to each other a bit before Eddie and I make our way to his van.

I buckle my seat belt and look into the back of the van where all mine and Eddie's stuff is stored for the road. I look over at him and find his eyes already on me.

"I love you." He smiles and leans over toward me. I meet him halfway and our lips meet for a brief kiss. He pulls away and shouts a bit. "WOOOO!" I giggle at his enthusiasm. "Let's hit the road, my little rocker." He smirks and I roll my eyes as he puts the van in reverse and backs out of my driveway. The rest of the band follows behind us in their van as we go to make rounds for saying goodbyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaving everyone was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Chrissy especially. She was so happy for me but crying through our entire goodbye. Eddie promised her that he would fly her out as much as she wanted which seemed to calm her. Robin and Steve were just as sad but they seemed to handle it a little better. Robin did however threaten to kill me if I didn't call and write to her. Saying goodbye to the kids was hard too. All of them are like little siblings to me and seeing them upset was so hard but again, they seemed happy for me more than anything else. Having Eddie next to me through it all to remind me why I was leaving was probably the only reason I actually got through all of the goodbyes. But I'm excited to see what life is like with Eddie and the band... there will definitely never be a dull moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stop touching my food! Indie made this for me! You said you didn't want any pasta!" Sailor shouts as he slaps Taylor's hand away from his plate. I laugh sipping on my tea as the boys all shovel down food before their first show back on the second half of the tour.

Living on the tour bus with them is definitely something I am going to have to get used to. At least in the house, there was more space, here they are always on top of one another. Luckily, they did all agree to let Eddie and I have the big bedroom at the back of the bus. Usually, they used that for storage but once I moved in they were all more than happy to help me feel more at home. They really as some of the sweet boys you'll ever meet.

"Sailor. Don't hit him. Here, I'll fix you a plate, Taylor." I giggle and set my glass down, walking back into the kitchen area to heat up more pasta for Taylor.

"Thank you! At least some people are sweet on this bus!" Taylor wails dramatically. I roll my eyes and turn on the stove again to warm the pasta in the pot when I feel two arms snake around my waist.

"You're too nice to them, my love," Eddie whispers in my ear and I smile. I turn to face him and he quickly presses his lips to mine as soon as he can. I smile into his lips and he pulls me into his chest. When he pulls away he nudges his nose against mine and sighs contently. "I love you." He closes his eyes peacefully. Not a day has gone by since we confessed that Eddie does not remind me of his love for me. I smile up at him. "You excited for your first show?" He smirks, opening his eyes.

"Eddie. I've been to your shows before."

"Yeaaaaahhhh." He whines a bit and places a quick kiss on my lips. "But not as my super sexy girlfriend. Before you were just my super sexy best friend. It's different." He chuckles and I shake my head at his goofy smile. "And you'll be right up front. I'll be able to look at you the whole time! I'm practically creaming myself just thinking about it." He smirks nudging his nose against mine once more.

"You're a perv, Munson." I giggle and he nods.

"Yeah, yeah, come up with a different comeback, sweetheart." He teases softly. "So... wanna help me get dressed? Maybe I can help you too." He smirks.

"I have to feed to kids, darling." I tease turning away from him and he groans.

"Forget the kids, my love. Let me have my way with you for a bit." He pulls my back into his chest and places a few small kisses on my neck. "Please. I'll make it worth your while." He hums against my skin.

"Eddie." I sigh softly as he drags his lips up and down my neck.

"Guys! Mom and dad are fucking in the kitchen!" Devin shouts in a squeaky voice and all the other guys start to laugh. "Again!"

Eddie groans in my ear and turns to face the boys. "Shut the hell up." He scowls at them but they still continue to laugh. I giggle along with them and Eddie hides his face away in my neck.

"Mom, can I please have my pasta before you fuck dad?" Taylor bats his lashes at me with a pouty grin. I roll my eyes and scoop several giant spoon fulls of pasta onto a plate. I wiggle free from Eddie's arms and he whines a bit. I glance back at him to see him pouting.

"Here." I set Taylor's plate down in front of him at the table and he grins. I pat his head as he starts to shovel down the food. I make my way back to Eddie who is turning off the stove. When I'm in his reach he grabs my hand and drags me to our bedroom. He slams the door behind us and smiles at me.

"Come here." He grins widely and pulls me into his chest by my waist. "Wanna make out?" He chuckles and places a soft kiss on my cheek. "Because. I kinda think we should make out." He leans in to connect our lips when I pull back a bit.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for your mmph-" His lips silence me and he smirks into a kiss. I giggle into his mouth and he pulls away. He groans a bit and grabs both sides of my face.

"God. I never get tired of how you taste." He chuckles and places quick pecks all over my face. I giggle in his grasp and he nudges his nose against mine. Suddenly, the air between us becomes serious and thick. Eddie grunts a bit as he sucks in a deep breath. "Can you do my eyeliner... ya know like you used to for my old gigs? It always made me feel... more, I don't know, confident." He smiles sweetly and rests his forehead against mine. His bangs tickle my lashes.

"Anything for you," I smirk and start to pull away when he flashes me a cheeky grin.

"Anything you say?" He chuckles and raises a brow as his eyes dart down to his jeans.

"Eddie Munson," I warn playfully.

"Indie Henderson." He mocks my tone.

"Just go sit on the bed." I roll my eyes and pull away to find my makeup back.

"Yes ma’am. Don't have to tell me twice." He chuckles darkly and I hear the bed springs shift beneath his weight. When I turn around with eyeliner in hand Eddie is leaning back on his palms lazily, waiting for me to join him. I giggle at the look of boredom on his face. It took me no more than two minutes and he has already drifted into his own little world.

I walk over to the bed and quickly straddle Eddie's lap. The sudden contact of my body weight on his lap pulls him back from whatever he was daydreaming about. He shivers a bit and immediately his hands find my waist. He looks up at me and his eyes shine a bit.

"Where did you go this time?" I ask softly as a wrap my hands up in his hair and tie it out of his face with my hair tie.

"Mmm. We were in Paris." He hums dreamily. As I look down to him once more. I shift my hips trying to get the best angles on his face and he groans.

"We?" I ask.

"Mhm. You're always there. No matter when or where." He chuckles and I pinch his cheek a bit.

"Stay still, baby." I hum placing a quick kiss over where I just pinched. He leans into my kiss and sighs.

"Mmmm. I love when you call me that." He stares up at me as I carefully trace his lower waterline with the black pencil.

"Look up," I smirk a bit knowing that he is waiting for me to say it again. He whimpers and I giggle. "Look up, my pretty boy." He hums happily and looks up toward the ceiling.

"This view is not as good as the one I had before." He jokes.

"Mhm. So. What were we doing in Paris?" I ask curiously. I move to his other eye tracing the lower line again and he winces a bit. "Sorry."

"S'okay." He chuckles. "We were fucking." He smirks and I push his shoulder a bit. He shakes his head as I pull the pencil away. His eyes meet mine and he blushes. "I'm just kidding. We were... we were. Well, I was proposing. It's stupid I know. We just started dating but like. I've loved you for years so to me it doesn't seem that crazy. I know to you it must-" I quickly cut him off with a kiss and pull back to look into his eyes.

"I think about that too sometimes. Except were in Scotland by a castle." I giggle as his eyes ignite.

"Really?"

"Mhm. Now close your eyes. I need to do the top and how would you feel about a bit of a wing?" I smirk softly but Eddie stays serious.

"I don't want to close my eyes. I just want to look at you forever." He hums.

"Eds. Please? You need to get ready soon and..." I lean down toward his ear and kiss his neck a bit. "If you close your eyes now and let me finish this maybe we'll have time to make out."

"Fuck. You're right." I pull back just in time to watch Eddie's eyes snap shut and squeeze tightly.

"Eddie, baby, relax your eyes!" I giggle and eventually, he listens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I never could have predicted how chaotic the boys are backstage. It is truly something the marvel at. I smile brightly, seated in a high foldable chair, watching the stage crew chase down Sailor and Taylor for dressing. I giggle when Sailor cries out in protest, something about the pants being too tight.

My eyes shift to Eddie. He's the front man so he's been pretty busy ever since we got here. Basically being ripped from my arms as soon as we stepped foot on the premises. I can't help but blush when I rake my eyes over his frame. A pair a black jeans perfectly ripped at the knee, a studded belt wrapped loosely around his waist, his boxers still peaking out a bit. As my eyes climb I find his v-line, completely exposed. Only a leather jacket and black cropped tank hang around his shoulders. I feel my face heat up. I quickly look away and lock eyes with Gates who is lounging across the way. He smirks at me sending a knowing wink. I blush even deeper.

"Hi! You must be Indiana. Let's get you into the pit. People around going to start coming soon. So if you want a good spot like Eddie requested we should leave." A deep female voice comes from right beside me. I jump up out of my seat and meet her eyes. She is gorgeous. Long black hair hanging past her butt and bright green eyes, her eyes are almost feline. She is wrapped in a tight leather dress and she smiles softly at me.

"O-oh hi. Yes I-"

"Great let's go. I don't mean to rush you, but I am a busy woman managing five men." She hums turning on her heels.

"Oh. You're their manager?" I question softly and she nods.

"Only when they are backstage. My brother handles all the important stuff. Shall we?" She says staring down at a clipboard, back to me.

"Um. Can I just say bye to Eddie first? I really wanted to-"

"No. Sorry. He is too busy. Come on." And with that see takes off. I glance over my shoulder at Eddie and frown as he chuckles shaking his hair around. My eyes shift to Gates who shooting me a questioning look. I shrug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I love your outfit!" A smaller girl in a loose band tee with Eddie's face across it shouts at me over the loud pre-concert chatter. I turn to her and smile widely.

"Thank you! I love your tee!" I grin brightly and she blushes.

"Oh yeaaaaa. I'm like one of their biggest fans. It helps that I'm like in love with Eddie. What about you? Which is your favorite?" She laughs and scoots closer to me in the pit as someone bumps into my back. This is definitely different from small town Hawkins, Indiana. I free like I'm suffocating.

"Oh uh, I really like Eddie too." I grin back and she nods happily.

"He's so dreamy isn't he?! And-" She leans into my ear and I smile at the thought of having a friend throughout this. "I've heard he's a legend in bed. So many fans talk about it! Maybe we'll get lucky tonight!" She pulls back and shoves my shoulder playfully. I feel sick. I smile through my queasy stomach.

After a few more meaningless conversations the lights go down and I feel my stomach erupt into butterflies just like when I went to his other concerts. I feel like I am explode. Then the band comes out, Eddie last, and the crowd, mainly females, goes wild.

"I love you Eddie!"

"Let me have your babies!"

"Eddie! You're sexy!"

The shouts come from all around me. I feel like a fish out of water. When I had seen Eddie with Chrissy sure we danced and did our thing near our seats but this was crazy. Everyone was jumping and the music hadn't even begun yet. Then Eddie takes the mic. The girls around me fawn over his voice as he thanks everyone and begins to chat. He seems so carefree. So beautiful. Just like high school. So different. I smile softly as I stare up at him. His eyes rake the crowd until they land on me. We lock eyes and he smirks.

"He's totally looking at you!" The girls from earlier squeals grabbing my shoulder shaking me. Eddie winks at me before moving on. The rest of the night was filled with stolen glances on his part and openly staring on my part.

At some points there was lots of shoving and elbowing as people jumped around. One hit me so harshly I was sure it would leave a bruise but I didn't mind. The guy apologized and even bought me a drink to make up for it during intermission. And once I got over the weirdness of having her openly wanting to fuck my boyfriend, the girl and I got pretty close and friendly as well. Her name was Kay. Sweet girl. Still in high school.

After the show. Everyone was clearing out while I tried to remember how to get backstage. My eyes land on some security guards as I weave through a hall. I walk up to them and they glare me down.

"If you don't have a pass. You're not getting backstage." The one huffs. Obviously they must have been having lots of issues tonight. He seemed rather angry.

"Oh. I uh, I don't have a pass. I'm Indiana." I smile softly. "Indiana Henderson, Eddie's... friend?" I trail off not sure if I should say I'm his girlfriend or not? Was it a secret in public? I am truly unsure. The guards look at one another and then back at me before speaking up again.

"ID?" The other guard questions. I frown.

"I left my stuff backstage." My hand on the back of my neck I feel so embarrassed. This is awful. Of course they can't just let me backstage on my good word that I am in fact me.

"No ID. No entry." They both growl at the same time. Squinting as if they are waiting for me to give them a problem. I sigh.

"Yea, okay. Sorry. I should have grabbed it on my way out. Not your fault!" I smile brightly trying to calm the nerves in my stomach. "Uh. Could I just, stand here with you guys though? I don't really know where else to go." I do my best puppy dog eyes at the two men who share a nervous glance before obliging.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So... then Steve actually almost beat Billy to like a pulp." I shake my head explaining my life to Georgie and John. We had been talking for about forty minutes now. They were actually quite nice when you got the know them. People were still trailing out slowly.

"Well good. This Billy kid sounds like a real asshole." George says.

"Oh he totally was. Not so much anymore. He got his act together after uh... a near death experience." I smile.

"What kind of-"

"OH MY GOD! IT'S EDDIE!" I sharp female voice shouts and I hear a rush begin. I look down the hall over George and John's shoulders to see Eddie rushing toward us. His eyes wide and face stricken with worry. I turn my attention away reluctantly and towards the advancing crowd of fans. Several other guards nearby rush over to help contain everyone.

"Indie!" I hear my name fall from his lips. I turn to face him and he's basically on top of John's back.

"Eddie. Back up please." John grunts trying to keep Eddie back, me caught somewhere in the middle. I smile at Eddie and his features relax a bit.

"Right. Right. I just need my girlfriend first." Eddie chuckles. Both John and George share a glance then turn to me.

"We apologize! We-"

"They were just doing their jobs." I smile brightly as Eddie grabs my hand. We slip past both men and Eddie pulls me into his chest. He kisses the top of my head. Suddenly the crowd erupts in a different kind of chatter and cheers. I turn to look at them. Some girls are crying and some are bright red. I feel Eddie's fingers nudge my chin as he lifts my gaze back to him.

"Did you enjoy the show?" He hums softly pushing hair from my face. I nod with a wide smile. "Good. Come on. We've got an afterparty to attend." He grins placing a quick kiss on my lips before starting to lead me down the hall.

"Afterparty?"

Fandom Newsletter #4

Today is Friday, the 26th of October, and Welcome back to another Fandom Newsletter! 

Writers: Atlas, Blackpurrl, Fyne, YoursTruly Editors: Fyne and YoursTruly 

“Oh my God, Karen! You can’t just ask people why they’re white.” ~Mean Girls

Let’s get started! 

First to YoursTruly with the Horror, Hannibal, Tim Burton, Animation, and Gaming fandoms--

Horror: Horror fans love the new Halloween movie! The movie has been a massive success among fans young and old! The movie gives off a nostalgic vibe, even referencing the older movies several times throughout the film. However, if you’re going to see this movie, stay until after the credits, there’s a little surprise at the end. 

Hannibal: The Fannibals have began trying to bargain with show runner and producer Bryan Fuller for another season. The show left off on a not so satisfying conclusion, and many fans want more. Bryan Fuller has even teased the idea himself quite a few times. Will we get another season one day? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. 

Tim Burton: Disney is offering, throughout the month of October, Halloween themed cruises. They even offer an onboard show featuring Jack Skellington and Sally. And you can even meet these characters for pictures! Now that’s a cruise! Also- The Nightmare Before Christmas celebrates its 25th anniversary this year! 

YouTube: YouTube recently crashed worldwide for two hours. YouTube hasn’t said much about the incident, but problems like this are becoming more and more common on YouTube. Many people are wondering what the causes of these issues are. 

Animation: Goretober is in full swing! Many animators have been uploading their daily Goretober art. 

Gaming: The season of scary game releases is upon us! October is the month where many creators on platforms like Steam and Gamejolt are releasing their horror games in anticipation for Halloween. 

Now to Blackpurrl with the Harry Potter and Bands fandoms, along with World News--

Harry Potter: Countdown to Fantastic Beasts: 27 days!

Bands: Did you know, about twelve hours of songs are uploaded to SoundCloud every minute? Insane!

World News: Denmark Shooting for the Digital Stars

Next to Fyne with the Sherlock, Supernatural, and Spooptober fandoms, as well as the weekly positive news--

Sherlock - Ever wonder how our beloved show even came to be? Apparently, for years, writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss took a train to and from Cardiff while working on Doctor Who, and discussed various projects they were interested in doing. One that kept coming up repeatedly was a modern-day adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. This reportedly went on for some time (with neither man making any particular effort to get it up and going) until Moffat’s wife, Sue, invited both men out for lunch. Her place of choice just so happened to be the Criterion, a watering hole and eatery in London’s Piccadilly Circus. It just so happens to be the same place where the fictional John Watson (Sherlock’s best friend) first hears of the famed detective. The two men got the hint and began working on the series, bringing us our show that we have today. I think we all owe Sue a little bit of a thank you, don’t you?

Supernatural - Did you notice that (according to Archangel Michael in the episode The Song Remains the Same) Dean and Sam come from the bloodline of Cain and Abel? So is this important? Or is this just another coincidence?

Spooptober - This year is the year that Halloween movie Hocus Pocus reaches its 25th anniversary. The premise of the movie is this: After moving to Salem, Massachusetts, teenager Max Dennison explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani and their new friend, Allison. After dismissing a story Allison says is superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.A family favorite movie that almost everyone has seen and that is playing on at least one channel nearly every night of October. If you haven’t seen this iconic movie, you definitely should go channel surfing at some point this month.

Positive News - The words we use to talk about mental health can perpetuate stigmas. A new portrait project featuring people who have mental health issues aims to make us think again about the language we choose.

Lastly to Atlas with the Voltron, Musicals, and Movie fandoms--

Voltron: This fandom is a ticking time bomb set for December 14th. We are all going to die.

Musicals: George Salazar ships Boyf-riends! 

Movies: Who else wants a live action Corpse Bride?

Now back to Blackpurrl with the weekly movie review--

Movie Review: Hannibal Rising

This movie relays the story of Hannibal Lecter’s childhood. Although most of the especially gory parts are not on camera, the viewer eventually knows exactly what became of the victim. It provides an interesting plot, and explains why the famous cannibal does what he does. I would not recommend this movie to anyone under thirteen or anyone who cannot handle tragic stories. Overall, I’d give it a 10/10.

And back to Fyne with the weekly trivia fact and quiz--

Mostly B’s: You appear to be an optimist. Always seeing the good and positive is probably helping you be fairly happy, and even leading to a happier life style. Though try not to be too optimistic all the time because it may end up hurting you in the long run.

Mostly C’s: You appear to be a realist. I guess you’re sort of a neutral character. Good for you.

(This isn’t physiologically proven, its literally just a test I made up in my free time so don’t take the results to heart and please do not be offended)

And finally, back to YoursTruly with the weekly book review--

Book Review- The Life Of P.T. Barnum is a fantastic book for anyone who loves a good biography. The book is a wildly entertaining autobiography by P.T. Barnum about his own life, starting from his childhood and following him through all his adventures. All in all, a fantastic book. 10/10
