Emmaline's POV:
"Eddie, don't go." "I have to. Wayne'll kick my ass." I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, trying to hang onto him. "It's only for a day, babe." "I know. And it's a good opportunity for you. I just wish I could be with you all the time." I frowned and Eddie cupped my cheek, making me look up at him. "Hey, it's one day. I'll be back. I'm going to be exhausted when I come home." I sighed and said "yeah, I'll have to go to school tomorrow without you." Eddie clicked his tongue and kissed my forehead. "You'll be fine, Elionwy. I'll rescue you if I need to." I half smiled and Eddie let go of me to grab his jacket. "Can you stay the night at least?" Eddie looked over his shoulder at me. "You're breaking my heart, princess." "You can still make it to work with Wayne on time." "Wayne gave me specific instructions. He's letting me work a day with him for some money, Em. It'll be nice. I can take you on a really nice date after. It's one day, princess." I nodded with a sigh and said "ok." The thought of not seeing my boyfriend for a day hurt. Especially since I had been spending so much time with him. Eddie took off his vest and said "keep it safe for me." I held the denim in my hands and said "you're going to leave it with me?" "Yeah. I can't wear it tomorrow anyway. It'll get filthy." I looked at the pins and patches on it, running my fingers over them gently. Eddie cupped my cheek again and kissed my lips passionately. I moaned into the kiss and Eddie pulled away. "I'll call you tomorrow." "Ok." Eddie then left my bedroom. I watched him unlock his van from my bedroom window. Eddie waved like an idiot and I waved back while shaking my head. He blew a kiss dramatically as he walked a few steps to the window. He almost tripped and stumbled and I gasped softly. He had caught himself and then bowed. Eddie then got into his van and pulled away. I walked away from my window and started to get ready for bed.

The next day at school was odd without Eddie. I closed my locker to see Milo standing there. "Can I make a movie about you and Eddie's relationship?" "No." "No?! It would sell! The popular girl and the metalhead falling in love? It's just not something that happens! And the fact you've somewhat kept your popularity is insane!" Milo exclaimed. I shook my head and said "stop, Milo." "I wanna make a movie so bad. You and Eddie's story would sell." I huffed softly and said "I'm sure it would." "Hey, Emmaline." Jack Castello's voice said. I looked at him, my eyes slightly wide. "Hi?" I said. Jack gave me a warm smile and said "how've you been?" "Fine. Why do you ask?" Jack shrugged and said "was just wondering. You haven't hung out with us. We miss you. You were the cherry on top of the cake." I gave him a half smile and said "yeah, I'm sure." "Milo, I'm sure me and Emmaline could star in your movie." Milo looked at Jack and said "really? You wanna be in a movie?" "Yeah. Me and Emmaline could be the stars. I'll be in Hollywood one day. You better believe it." Milo opened his mouth and from his facial expression I knew he was going to say something snarky. I quickly stopped him and said "I can see it. I can totally see Jack in Hollywood." Jack seemed pleased by my comment and then said "you should totally start hanging out with us again. Ditch the freaks and come back." Milo crossed his arms over his chest and I said "no thanks." I then grabbed Milo and pulled him away, the two of us walking down the hall. "Your ex is actually so scary now. I think he's mad at the fact that Eddie makes you so happy." "He probably is." Alyssa came around the corner and said "Emmaline." "Hey, Lyssa." She took a breath and said "can I talk to you? In private?" "I'm not cool enough for the serious conversation, huh?" Milo said. I glared at him and he huffed. "Fine. Have your girl time." He walked away and Alyssa pulled me closer to her. "What's wrong?" I questioned. Alyssa took a breath and said "I know I've been spending time with Rhett and have been busy and there's no excuse but, they're acting up again." "Your powers?" I whispered. Alyssa nodded and said "yes. I've been seeing things and hearing things. I've been seeing him." "Henry?" "Yes. He's been in my dreams. It's so weird. Have you been sleeping ok? Anything weird going on?" I shrugged and said "I don't think so. I've been more tired lately but that's because I've been stressed about school. I don't think there's been anything out of the ordinary." Alyssa nodded and said "if there's anything weird. Please let me know." "Ok." Alyssa examined my face and then looked around the hallway. "Where's Eddie?" I sighed and said "he went to work with his uncle for a day. Wanted some extra money. Wayne was able to get him a shift. So, he's not here today." Alyssa made a face and said "that's so weird. He's been glued to you lately." "Is that bad?" I asked. Alyssa shook her head and said "no. You guys are really cute. It's just weird for him not to be with you. The championship game is coming up. Are you guys going?" "No. Eddie's campaign is the same night." "His D&D campaign?" "Yes." "Have fun with that. Your boyfriend is such a nerd." I nodded and said "I know. I'm going to the campaign just to support him. And he's taught me some stuff about it." "Bestie, D&D is so lame." "You sound like Max." I retorted. "She's right!" The both of us laughed and Alyssa said "you're wearing his vest." "Yeah, he let me wear it today." Alyssa smiled and said "that's cute." I felt my cheeks heating up at the thought of Eddie and I looked down. "Maybe one day soon we can all hang out." She said. I nodded and said "yeah. That'd be nice."

"Em." I looked at Peter who stood behind me. "Peter." I said. He took a breath and said "how are you?" "Fine. How are you?" Peter looked around the hallway and said "that's good." I awaited for him to speak as he continued to look around. "What's your problem?" I said. Peter looked at me and said "where's the freak?" I scoffed and said "none of your business." I went to walk away and Peter grabbed my arm. I went to yank my arm from him and his hold on my arm got tighter. Peter looked at me in shock. "Let me go." "I'd never hurt you, Em. You do know that, right?" "Peter, we're over. And it's your fault. Please just leave me alone." "Emmaline, I haven't had the chance to talk to you. The freak is always around! He won't even let me come near you! I just wanna talk." "About what, Peter? The way you shoved your tongue down another girl's throat?" I spat. Anger flashed in Peter's eyes and he stared me down. "I wasn't enough for you." "And you're enough for the freak?" I nodded and said "yes. I am. Eddie's done more for me than you ever have." Peter rolled his eyes and said "he'll dump you when he's finished. He's only with you to fuck you." I punched Peter in the face and immediately gasped in pain. Peter clutched his eye and said "what the fuck, Em?!" "Fuck you, Peter! Stay the fuck away from me!" I rushed away from Peter and took off running towards the parking lot. I ran to my car and immediately got inside. I took a shaky breath and my hand was throbbing. "Fuck this." I decided to go to Eddie's trailer. Nobody would be there and I could just relax. I parked in front of the trailer and went inside. I went into the shower, letting the hot water running over my body. I sighed and washed all the stress away. My hand would definitely be bruised and Eddie would definitely have something to say about it. I finished in the shower, combing through my curly hair and going towards Eddie's room. I didn't even bother to put fresh clothes on as I was exhausted. I fell onto Eddie's bed, on my stomach. I slowly made my way up to Eddie's pillows and got comfortable, pulling his comforter and sheet up and over my body. Rain started to fall outside, tinkling against the trailer roof. Eddie's scent emanated from his pillows and it just made me miss him even more. My bare body felt amazing against his sheets. My eyes started to flutter closed as sleep started to creep up on me.

Eddie's POV:
Wayne and I came home in the evening. Which usually wasn't the case for my uncle but because he worked a shift with me, he got to come home early. I noticed Emmaline's car out front and I was practically beaming when I walked in. I walked inside the trailer with the biggest smile on my face and it disappeared when I saw she wasn't in the living room. "Aw." I groaned dramatically. Wayne shook his head and said "she's probably in your room, boy. Now go shower and clean that grime off of you. I'll go when the water has heated back up and maybe we can just eat in tonight." I nodded and trudged to the bathroom. I quickly showered and then walked to my room. I got dressed and sighed. Emmaline laid in my bed. I smiled at her sleeping form. Her curls were sprawled out on one of my pillows, the blanket right at her neck. Her brown skin seemed to shine under the soft lights in my room. I got under the blanket, laying next to her. I figured I'd nap for a couple of hours before we had some dinner. Emmaline's hair smelled like her coconut shampoo she used. I closed my eyes as sleep began to take over.

"Eddie." Wayne said from the doorway. I opened my eyes and said "yeah?" "Do you want pork chops or spaghetti?" "Spaghetti." I answered. Wayne nodded curtly and then said "it should be done in about thirty to forty minutes. I expect y'all to be ready." "Will do, Wayne." He closed the door behind him and left the room. I looked over at Emmaline and pulled her closer to me. Emmaline moaned softly and I quickly realized she was naked. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. The warmth from her body was intoxicating. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to my chest. "Eddie?" She called out. "Yeah, it's me, sweetheart." She hummed and reached for my hand that rested on her stomach. "Can I ask you a question?" She nodded at me and I said "not that I'm complaining, which I'm not, but why're you laying in my bed naked?" Emmaline gasped softly and said "shit." She looked over her shoulder at me and I quirked an eyebrow. "I didn't mean for you to find me like this. I had a really stressful day at school. Jack wants me to be apart of the friend group again. The popular kids. I told him no. I'm your girlfriend and I'd much rather be with you. And Peter talked to me for the first time in months. He was begging me to give him another chance and that we never really talked about the breakup. And he said he couldn't talk to me because of you. He said you were always there and he could never get me alone and don't be mad. Promise me you won't get mad." I nodded. "He had ahold of my arm and wouldn't let me go so I punched him in the face." "You what?!" I screeched. Emmaline winced at my loud voice and said "don't be mad." "Em." I said. She took a deep breath as she turned around to face me. "My whole hand is bruised and it's sore. I don't want you to be mad." "Your hand is what? Em, what were you thinking?" My voice raised a little from me being in shock. Emmaline frowned and said "you said you wouldn't be mad. Please don't yell at me, Eddie." I shook my head and said "no. I wasn't yelling at you. No. I was just...concerned. You punched that asshole in the face and got hurt. Can I see it? I've had lots of bruised up hands from fighting." Emmaline nodded and held out her right hand. I held it gently and looked at it. Her hand was slightly purple. I clicked my tongue and said "oh, Em." Her frown only deepened and she looked down. I kissed her hand. Her eyes flickered up to look at me. "Baby, I'm not mad. I'm more mad at him. I'm just glad you're ok. And if you ever have a stressful day at school and you wanna come here, I'll be right outside at my van to drive you. Just say the word." Emmaline smiled and threw her arms around me. I hugged her, burying my face into the crook of her neck. "I can ice your hand for you." She nodded and said "please." "Stay right here." I left the comfort and warmth of my bed to grab Emmaline something to ice her hand. When I came back into the room, she was lying on her back. The comforter was right below her tits. I gulped as I adverted my gaze and grabbed her hand, putting the bag of frozen peas on it. "It's cold!" She whined. I clicked my tongue and said "I know, baby. I'm sorry. Just hold this here." Emmaline nodded and I got back into the bed with her. I laid my head on her chest and wrapped my arms around her. I nuzzled my face into the space between her tits, leaving sweet kisses up and down her chest. "Fuck, you're so beautiful." I mumbled. Emmaline's eyes fluttered closed and she said "you're too sweet to me, Eddie." I hummed and continued to kiss her chest. I felt her hand go through my curls and I laid my head on her chest once again. "Wayne's making spaghetti." "Sounds good." Emmaline replied softly. I squeezed her and said "think your feeling good enough to have some dinner? With me and Wayne?" "Yeah." I rubbed my hand up and down her side and said "sorry you had a stressful day. But, I'm here now. Anything you need me to do, I got you, baby." Emmaline smiled really big and said "thank you." "You're so gorgeous." "Eddie." Emmaline blushed and I kissed the top of her right breast. "Behave." She warned. I smirked and said "I'm behaving. I gotta let my girl know how much I love her." The word slipped from my lips and I didn't even think about it until Emmaline looked down at me. "Do you love me, Eddie?" I gulped and my breath quivered a bit. "Yeah. Yeah I do." I whispered. I wouldn't look at Emmaline, my eyes darting all around the room. Emmaline cupped my cheek and made me look up at her. "I love you too." I couldn't fight the smile that was on my face. I sat up and Emmaline did the same. She was quick to straddle my lap and my eyes raked over her naked body. Emmaline kissed my lips and I moved my lips against hers. I kissed her feverishly and Emmaline moaned softly. She held handfuls of my t-shirt as she deepened the kiss. My hands immediately went to her hips, squeezing the flesh in my hands. Emmaline's hips bucked against mine and I groaned. "Em, we can't." I mumbled against her lips. "Fuck, Eddie." My bedroom door opened and I was quick to throw Emmaline off me and shield her. She rushed to get under the blanket. "We're coming now, Wayne." I said. Emmaline rolled on her stomach, the blanket concealing she was nude. "I hope I'm not intruding." Emmaline said to my uncle. Wayne shook his head and said "of course not. I just wanted to let you guys know that the spaghetti will be done in five minutes." "Awesome. We'll be out in a few minutes." Wayne nodded and then closed the door. I exhaled and said "that was close." Emmaline propped her head up with her hand and looked at me. "Very close. Do you care if I borrow some clothes? Like maybe a t-shirt? I have my jeans." I nodded and looked around my room for a t-shirt. Emmaline was putting her panties and jeans back on. I threw her my Hellfire shirt because it was the first thing I saw. Emmaline slid it over her head and said "am I apart of the club now?" "Always." I said. The two of us walked out of my bedroom and to the kitchen. Wayne was preparing bowls of spaghetti for the both of us. Emmaline took her bowl from Wayne and sat down at the very small table. Wayne followed her as he handed me my bowl. "How was your day today, Emmaline?" Wayne asked. Emmaline sighed and said "stressful. It was kind of bad. Which is why I was here. I didn't mean to barge in or intrude." Wayne shook his head and said "you're always welcome here, Emmaline. You make this boy so happy. He needs you." I looked at my uncle and said "Wayne." "Just saying the truth, boy." Emmaline looked down at her bowl of spaghetti, a blush spreading across her cheeks. Dinner consisted of Wayne and Emmaline talking to one another. I ate quietly and let them interact more. Wayne loved Emmaline which made me happy. I thought about Peter and Emmaline punching him in the face. I couldn't believe he pulled that stunt. I don't show up to school for one day and he flips out and tries to get Emmaline back. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind as I looked at my girlfriend. Her curls were a bit frizzy from sleeping but nothing serious. Her smile lit up the room and she talked to my uncle as if she'd known him for a long time. My eyes slowly drifted down to her chest. Emmaline shivered a bit but continued to talk. Her nipples poked through my Hellfire shirt. I stared at her chest and held back the groan threatening to escape my lips. Emmaline looked at me with furrowed eyebrows as Wayne looked down at his plate, asking Emmaline something about school. She followed my eyes that were on her chest and she shook her head. "I'm not sure what I wanna do after school. Maybe do something with celebrities. Like an assistant or a manager. I think I could do it. My friend Milo wants to make movies. I could move to California and work with him." I could feel the semi in my pants starting to grow. I ate a forkful of spaghetti to try and ignore the beautiful girl next to me. Wayne agreed with Emmaline and told her she could do whatever she wanted if she put her mind to it. "I think I'm gonna go to the bar for a little bit." Wayne then announced. Emmaline frowned and said "you're leaving?" "Yeah. I'm gonna go hang out with some of the guys from work. I haven't in a while and I'm sure you two want to spend some time together." I looked up at Wayne and said "yeah. Sure." Emmaline stretched and a soft moan left her lips. My eyes widened as I felt my pants get tighter. Wayne was in the kitchen setting his plate in the sink. He went into his room and grabbed his jacket, saying goodbye as he headed out the door. I heard his car start up and Emmaline was in my lap in a matter of seconds. She had already took her jeans off. The pink panties that sat on her hips were pretty. Little red hearts all over them. Emmaline started to kiss my neck up and down. I sighed as she nibbled on my sweet spot. She ran her hand up and down my chest as she made hickeys on my neck. The hardness in my pants started to get painful. I winced softly and Emmaline looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. "Eddie?" She questioned. I inhaled and said "I'm ok." "Are you sure?" She asked. I exhaled. "I'm just really fucking hard." Emmaline looked down and lifted herself up to unzip my pants. That added a little bit of relief but didn't do much. "Baby..." I began but Emmaline stopped me as she pulled me to my bedroom. I haphazardly took off my jeans and boxers. Emmaline brought her hand down and slowly pumped me. "You're so hard. I didn't even do anything." "You're just you, Em. Drive me fucking crazy." I replied. My eyes fluttered closed as she built up a rhythm. "So, you ready to roll around?" She quipped. I chuckled and immediately tackled Emmaline to the bed softly.

"Han or Luke?" Dustin asked Emmaline. "Easy. Luke." She replied. Dustin nodded and said "favorite Star Wars movie?" "Empire Strikes Back." "Favorite planet?" "Bespin." Dustin made a face. "The cloud planet?" "What's your favorite planet?" "Endor. You could live with the Ewoks!" Dustin said. Emmaline giggled and said "that's so cute!" Dustin smiled really big at her and I shook my head while watching the two of them. "How about you, Eddie? Favorite planet?" Dustin asked. "Yavin 4." I answered. "You sure you don't like Hoth?" "So I can get killed by Wampas? No thank you." "Oh my god I could never live on Hoth. It's too cold!" Emmaline said. Dustin nodded in agreement and I said "the abominable snowman would kill us all." Dustin started laughing and Emmaline laughed because he was laughing. I chuckled softly and said "I'm more scared of them then Vader." That made Dustin laugh even harder. "I'm glad none of us said Tatooine. It's too hot." Emmaline said as she took a breath. Dustin looked at Emmaline and said "how come you only hang out with me and Eddie?" I watched sadness fill my girlfriend's eyes but she was quick to mask it and say "because I'd rather be around you guys. I'm very fond of you, Dustin." Dustin looked up at Emmaline with a gigantic smile on his face. "Plus Milo is a bit crude." Dustin's attention went to the tv as static flashed across it. I furrowed my eyebrows and reached for the remote, turning the tv off. Dustin looked at the two of us and said "you guys don't find that weird?" Emmaline shrugged and I shook my head. "It's a shitty tv, Dustin." Dustin nodded and offered Emmaline the last slice of pizza. The smile on his face was so big. Emmaline seemed to swoon at him. "Awe, you're so sweet! Thank you!" A small smile tugged at my lips as I watched my girlfriend beam at the freshman in front of her. Emmaline stood up and went to get a glass of water after she took the pepperoni slice from Dustin. "Henderson." Dustin looked at me and I said "she's mine, you know." Dustin narrowed his eyes at me and said "she was mine first. I learned to share." I laughed incredulously and said "ok, Henderson." "What're we talking about?" Emmaline asked as she sat down. "Nothing. Your boyfriend is a hogger. She's my friend too." Dustin said. I chuckled and Emmaline said "of course I am, Dustin. There's no place I'd rather be than with you." Dustin giggled at her and I said "babe." "Hush, Eddie."

I never know how to end chapters but next chapter will be the first episode of ST4 or just a portion of it. There might be some fillers here and there as the book goes deeper into season 4. I've also planned how I want to write this. It's something I've never done before and I think I'm going to have fun writing it. Certain characters will live or die and certain characters story will change or go off the beaten path. I hope you guys are ready for this!!
