when we live such fragile lives
[ Sometimes, Eddie wonders if there's any way that this can not end terribly. Dating Chrissy behind Jason's back has to be one of his stupidest ideas to date, but he can't deny that it feels so, so worth it. It had started that first night, after their meeting in the woods. Before he had even put his van into park Chrissy was suddenly across the seat and kissing him. Years worth of wet dreams were suddenly coming to life and all Eddie had been able to do in the moment was freeze up and wait for it to end. Despite his reaction, or lack thereof, Chrissy had seemed pleased, practically skipping to his front door.
Then they had gotten high together and things had... escalated from there. Eddie hadn't asked questions at first. It didn't seem like his place. That, and he was afraid that asking questions would be the quickest way to bring and end to their little trysts. It wasn't long before their physical interactions weren't enough, or rather, that he needed to know where her head was at. If she saw him as some sort of... side piece then, well, that was more or less fine with him. There were worse things in the world to be than Chrissy Cunningham's fuck buddy.
But she wanted to be with him. In a real kind of way. Eddie can still remember the way has heart had leapt into his throat when she'd said it. And then how quickly it had crashed back down to Earth when she added that she couldn't break up with Jason. Not yet, anyway. He understands, or he thinks he understands. Jason is a shit head, and it doesn't take much to push a guy like that over the edge into violence. So, a little reluctantly, Eddie had agreed to keep things between the two of them, to let Chrissy go ahead and continue to "date" Jason.
It was worth it, if it meant he had her. And despite the fact that he was still subject to seeing her with Jason during school hours, he knew he had her.
They're in Chemistry, the only class they have together that Jason isn't. They share a small black table on matching stools, and Eddie stretches his foot in her direction, nudging her calf. Even this much while still at school is a risk, but he can't help himself. A moment later, a piece of paper is flicked in front of her. ]
