anyways, sorry it took me forever to write.

You and Eddie stayed at his house for the rest of the day, until the party. Eddie invited Max to stay over at his house, but she insisted she stay at her house. You just clung to Eddie.
Eddie was on the floor doing some sort of craft, but he wouldn't let you see until he was done. You picked up his guitar and plucked the strings lightly. You randomly place your fingers on the frets and plucked it. It almost made you giggle. Eddie seemed very focused. You could tell he was smiling, even though he had his back facing you. You began placing your fingers down until it sounded like a certain note. You were very focused. You moved your hand up and down until it sounded right. You looked up and Eddie was admiring you. "What?" you said smiling nervously. "Nothing," he smiled and continued his craft. You began strumming that note. "Eddie my love," you began singing, "I love you so. How I've waited for you, you'll never know." Eddie turned around again and smiled. You stopped and tapped your fingers on the guitar. "No," he says dramatically, "please, continue." You smile and continue. "Please Eddie, don't make me wait to long." Eddie took the guitar from you and strums the chords and changes chords as the song goes on. "Eddie, Eddie I love you so." You kissed him. "Tell me your love, is still only mine." he pulls back to sing. You keep singing the song back and forth and stop when you say, "But all I do is cry myself to sleep, Eddie since you've been gone." He stares at you for a second, "close your eyes." You do so and you heard him walk around. He sits next to you on the bed and places something in your hands. "You can open now." There is a bracelet in your hand. It's one of those beaded bracelets. It was long enough to go around your neck. On one side it say 'e+e' and 'Munson' on the other. "It's a double wrap," he says wrapping it twice around your wrist. Both of the lettered sides are showing. "Thanks, Eddie," you smile staring at the bracelet. He just admires you for a moment. "You know," he says grabbing your attention, "we should have a code." "Yeah, like what?" you say thinking. "I'm not sure." "We should have one for help...6789998212." "That sounds good, how did you come up with that so fast?" "Me and Max had one that was similar." "Oh," he says softly. He says nothing for a long time. He grabs his guitar, "want a lesson?" "Sure." He pats his lap, gesturing to sit. Once you do, he pulls the guitar over the both of you. "Give me a song."
(PAUSE! we are going to magically pretend 'Me and Your Mama' existed in the 80's. I've had this song stuck in my head, plus it's really easy to play on guitar.)
"Hmm," you say, "How about Me and Your Mama?" "Ok," he says, trying to play it to get the gist of it. "Ok this string is A." he plucks the string. He grabs your hand and places it. You get instant butterflies. He moves it down about 3 frets. "Now move it 4 down," you do, and he plucks it for you to hear it. He pulls your hand back. "Now you put it on the E string," he says moving your fingers to the top of the strings. "This part is fast," he says moving your hand back up. He plays it slowly with your fingers. "Ok," you say. He hands you his pick and you try to play it. He places his hands on your waist. You kind of sucked, but got better as he gave you tips. Once you finally played the whole thing, Eddie kissed you on the neck. "Good job, sweetheart." You blush, but he couldn't see it. You play it again, more 'fluently' this time. "Let me in," Eddie says softly in your ear, pulling your hair back, "to your heart." You laugh and set the guitar down and turn around on Eddie's lap to face him. You stare into his eyes for a moment. You pushed his hair behind his ears so it wasn't in his face. He smiled as his grip tightened around your waist. He kisses your neck and you laugh. He continues doing it just to hear you laugh. He pulls your shirt down a little to kiss your collar bone. The butterflies in your stomach get stronger. "Ellie," he says with a raspy voice, "I know when you get nervous." He keeps his face near your collar bone. Your heart nearly skipped a beat. He begin kissing you up your neck, starting at your collarbone, behind your ear, trailing to your mouth. "Just kiss me already," you say, "you're driving me crazy." He takes that at his invitation and kisses you. It was deep and passionate. His lips were so soft and he smelled like smoke. He put his large hands under your upper thighs. You pulled yourself closer to him, wanting more. He pulls back for a moment to breathe. "Let me guess," you say shifting your weight, "no pockets?" "Actually, these pants do," he says, reaching into his pockets. He pulls out a ballon. "Why the fuck do you have a ballon in your pocket?" you laugh. "I'm not really sure," he laughs, holding it up. He then looks down at you, "I feel you getting nervous again." He smiles. "Me? Nervous?" you smirk, leaning closer, "Never." He stares at you for a split second. Before you could even think he flips you over, onto the bed. He gets on top of you and holds your hands above your head. "Are you sure?" He holds himself up a few inches above you, you just wish he would get closer. You bite your lip. He just sits there staring at you. He frees one of his hands and puts it on your neck. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you." You couldn't speak, so you nodded. "Darling," he traces his hand up your shirt, "you have to use your words." "Eddie, please!" you whine. He smiled and leaned down to kiss you. Eddie loved being in charge. You tried to free your hands from his grip. "Ellie," he says pulling back. He smashed his lips onto you. He does the knee thing, putting his knee between your legs. You nearly moaned, it was swallowed by the kiss. "Have I just found Ellie Munson's sweet spot?" he moved his knee higher. His grin spread from ear to ear. You were practically begging for more. You took a deep breath and he went to kiss you again, but took his hands off of yours. You wrapped your arms around him and pulled him closer to you. That took him by surprise. "Geez," he pulled away, "If you wanted me close, you could have just said so." He grinned. "I probably would have moaned," you laugh pulling him down again. His hair tickled your face. You held in your laugh. You grabbed your ponytail and pulled his hair back with it. "Gee, thanks," he laughed. "It was tickling me," you stroke his hair. He began kissing your neck again. But, after a few seconds, he pulled away and stared at your neck. "Eddie, you did not!" you shout. "I so did," he smiled, proud of what he did. You began to get up, and pushed you down. "Sweetheart, I'm not done."
A few minutes later, Wayne walked in. "Shit," he closed the door. Eddie jumped up from on top of you. You cover your neck with your hair. "You can come in," Eddie says panicked. "I just wanted to let you know-" he started saying. "I'm sorry," Eddie says embarrassed. "Eddie, I don't care what you do," he smiles, "as long as your safe." He winks. "Ew," Eddie says, more embarrassed from his uncle, "stop." He walks up to the door to shut it. "Max is here," he walks away. "Oh," he says waving her in.
"Did I interrupt something?" she walks over to me. "Yeah, you actually did." you grin at Eddie. "Ew, gross," she says, about to turn around to leave. "It's not like that," you grab her arm. "Not yet," he grins. "Oh, shut up," you smile. "I don't want to know," she tries to escape your grip. "Wait!" you pull her back. "Listen to this!" You grab Eddie's guitar. You begin playing the song you just learned. "Cool!" Max says riled up, "can I try?" She grabs it from me. Eddie grabs it from Max, "absolutely not!" He babies the guitar. "Why can she play it, but not me?" She fusses. "Because she's my girlfriend!" he begins kissing your neck. "Eddie stop," you laugh, pushing him away. Max was just smiling, "y'all are so cute together." Max sits down on a chair across the room. You just smile and Eddie stares at you leaning on his door. "Are you hungry?" he asks me and Max. "I'm good," you say. "Something little," Max says, "we have to leave soon." Eddie goes through the kitchen for a minute. He gives Max a snack, and sits next to you. "C'mon I'm bored," you grab his hand, "I'm bored, play with me." Max raises her eyebrow. Eddie starts breathing heavily. He looks at you for a second. You stare into his eyes, grinning. He starts tickling you. You begin laughing. "Eddie-" you say between laughs, as he travels on top of you, "that's n-not what I meant." "I know what you meant," He leans down, sitting on your lap, pushing you down. He looks at Max. "There are children here." You are smiling brightly. "Keep that on your face, will you?" You just laugh and try to get up, but he pushes you down. "Do you remember what happened last time?" he grins. You roll your eyes. "Be careful, Ellie. One day you'll be doing that." He leans down to whisper. "But then you will be begging." He holds your hands above your head, and he uses his face to tickle your stomach. "Eddie!" you laugh, "stop!" "What's the magic word?" he grins. "PLEASE!" you laugh. He gets off of you. "Ok, let's go." Max is just staring at you with a large grin on her face. As Eddie walked out, Max grabbed your arm. "You two were totally flirting." "Oh shut up, Max," you laugh, "we were not." You wink. "We were." Eddie grins. As you walk up to him, he pulls you in by the waist and kisses you. "No, I don't think so." You say running to the car door, trying to beat him. Eddie runs after you. Just as you grab the handle, Eddie grabs you and pins you to the van. "Let me go!" you laugh. "No!" he kisses your neck. You try to grab the handle of the door, but he grabs your hand. "You're so cute," he says. He opens your door and helps you in. "I brought your swimsuit, Ellie." Max says climbing into the back. "Shit!" Eddie ran into his trailer. You and Max were laughing. "I'm so happy for you." she smiles. You just turn around and smile to yourself. Eddie runs back with a swimsuit in his hand. "Someone's happy," he puts his hand on your thigh. "How could I not?" you smile out the window. Eddie turns around to Max, as he drives off. You hear him whisper something to her, and she just shushes him.
When you arrive at Steve's house, Nancy, Robin, Lucas, Mike, Dustin, Erica, and, of course, Steve were already there. Steve had some food and drinks set out and had alcohol in the cabinet. Lucas, Mike, and Dustin were laughing on the couch, with Erica making fun of them. Steve and Robin were arguing, and Nancy was laughing at them. "Hey, Ellie!" Steve looked up. Robin came up to hug you. "You look better," Nancy grins. "What do you mean?" you ask. "Happier, I mean," Nancy says looking at Steve. Max runs over to Lucas, Dustin, Erica, and Mike. Eddie puts his hands around your waist, standing behind you. "I see you've been claimed," Steve laughs. Eddie puts his chin on your shoulder. "Like a leech," you laugh. Eddie looked offended, in a silly way. "That's the point." He kisses your neck. They all just stare at you. "Eddie," you whine playfully, "stop." "Never," he smiles. You push him away, he realizes that you're getting embarrassed, so he stops. "Anyone want to do shots or something?" Steve asks, trying to break the silence. "Sounds fun," Robin says laughing. "I have to stay sober," Nancy adds. "Awww," Steve whines, "why?" "Someone has to drive these kids home!" Nancy spat. "I'll join," you volunteer. "I'll take a few," Eddie says, "but, I got to drive Max and Ellie home." Steve takes out the alcohol from the cabinet. The doorbell rings. "Who else is supposed to come?" Nancy asks and Mike looks to her confused. You, Max, Steve, and Robin already knew who it was. Nancy opened the door and shouted, "Oh my gosh!" Eleven, Will, and Johnathan walked in. Mike jumped up in excitement. Dustin and Lucas ran to see Will. Excitement flooded throughout the house, making everyone happy. "Hey, Johnathan," Steve says smiling, "want to join in on the shots?" Johnathan smiled, "hell yeah." Johnathan and Steve never really got along, or ever talked. Something about today just changed everything.
"Ok," Steve says narrating, "lick the salt, take the shot, bite the lime. Got it?" Robin goes first, and has a sour look on her face, which you laughed at. Steve went next, and tried to 'man it out', which only lead to him nearly spitting it out cause of the disturbed look on Nancy's face. Johnathan went next, hardly making a face at all. It was your turn, you licked the salt and took the shot like you were told, but the lime was gone. "Where's the lime?" You say, trying to ignore the feeling in your mouth. Eddie grins and shows you the lime in his mouth. You nearly choked. You took the chance and kissed him. Everyone's eyes were on you and Eddie. Even Erica, Eleven, Max, and the boys turned to look. Eddie passed the lime to your mouth. "Wait Eddie and Ellie are dating?" Eleven and Will ask. "Catch up!" Dustin says glued to the scene. You pull away and spit out the lime. You go back to Eddie and continue kissing him. "Damn," Robin says, "that was hot." You started laughing and pull away. "Sorry!" Robin says smiling. "You got that right," Eddie smiles and you start blushing.
The group took a few more shots and decided they wanted to go swimming. Max threw your swimsuit at you and everyone got changed. Most of the boys already had their swimsuits on. You got changed last, and Eddie waited outside the bathroom door for you. As you started changing, you realized that you had completely forgot about the cuts on your arms. "Shit," you whispered to yourself. "What's the matter, sweetheart," Eddie said on the other side of the door. "Uhm," you thought of an excuse, "I don't know if I can swim." "Aww," he says, "why not?" You panicked. You scramble through the cabinet under the sink. You found a bandaid box. "Oh, wait," you said, "never mind." 'You better work' you thought. You put two bandaids on your scars, and it just barely covered all of them. You finished putting on your swimsuit. It was dark blue and yellow, and was pretty revealing, which made you nervous. When you opened the door, for once, Eddie couldn't speak. "Jeez," you say, "so this is what they mean when they say speechless." You smile and Eddie keeps staring at you. "Fuck," he mumbles under his breath. "I'm sorry," you say leaning against the doorway, "I can't hear you." He can't resist putting his hands on you and pulls you in by the waist. "Fuck," he repeats a little louder. His fingers play around with the straps on your swimsuit, which gives you butterflies. "Fuck who?" you say. Eddie stares at you, "oh shut up." You and Eddie walked out to the pool together. "You look good, Ellie!" Nancy shouts. The boys are fighting with water guns, and Erica, Eleven, and Max are chatting with each other. "You look hot!" Robin says smiling. Eddie splashes water in her face. Robin splashed back. Within seconds, the whole pool was a splash battle. Most of the water didn't make it back into the pool. Mike jumped off the diving board which stopped the fight. You hadn't gotten in the pool yet, scared your bandaid would fall off. "You coming, Ellie?" Steve asked. "Yep!" you say hiding your fear. Eddie was in the pool next to Steve. You walk to the diving board. You can feel Eddie's eyes focused on you. Last year, you had taught yourself how to do a backflip out of boredom. When you turn backwards, Steve smiled. "Go, Ellie!" "Backflip! Backflip! Backflip!" the boys started chanting. You hop on the diving boards. Nancy and Robin are looking at Eddie, watching you. "Focus," Nancy giggled, saying it quiet enough for you not to hear. You jump high enough to flip, and you begin to shift your weight back. "I'm focused." Eddie whispers back, his eyes not leaving you. "Yeah right," Robin snickers. When you land in the water, Eddie nearly loses it. "Well, she got a body like that," he says almost embarrassed, "I ain't never seen nothing like that." You come up for air. "It's like a fantasy in front of me." he continues. "Hmm?" you say, wiping water out of your eyes. Nancy and Robin are both eyeing each other. Steve is just smiling with his arms hanging on the side of the pool.
"Fuck you, Dustin," Lucas shouts. "Calm down over there, will ya'?" Steve shouts. "You really are like a mother." You laugh. Steve looked offended. (In a goofy way.) Eddie started laughing. You swam over to Eleven, Max, and Erica. You whisper something into Eleven's ear. She smiled, and got out of the water with you. You got on the diving board and Eleven stood behind you, but not on the board. You started jumping, not going very high. You caught everyone's attention. Eleven stuck out her hand. "Ready?" you ask. "Yep!" she shouted back. "3..2..1!" You jump as high as you can on one, and Eleven used her powers to lift you higher. You went a mere 15 feet and did a canon ball. You splashed the entire pool. All of the kids went crazy, saying "I want a try!" and started lining up on the diving board. "That was so cool!" Johnathan says. Eddie got a little quiet, so you swam over to him. He slightly smiled, but tried not to look at you.
"Ellie," Steve said curiously, "what's that on your neck?" 'Shit!' you though. "Yeah," Eddie says smirking, "what's on your neck, Ellie?" "That's nothing," you say embarrassed. "Liar," he grins. "Those are hickeys, right?" Robin says moving closer to see. "Of course not!" you shout, covering them. It was Max's turn on the diving board. "Hickeys?" she shouts, then takes her turn. "Of course they are," Eddie smirks. Max swims over to you. "I made them." Eddie says. "Eddie!" you shout. "Eddie Munson," Nancy says, "you really are a freak!" Robin and Nancy laugh. "Ellie, Ellie," Max says in a 'disappointed' tone, "what have you gotten yourself into." She hides her smirk. "Love," you say smiling. Eddie was staring at you for a solid ten minutes. "What?" you ask. "I didn't say anything." Eddie says, still staring. "Well, why are you looking at me like that?" you laugh softly. He pulls you in by the waist. "Because you're beautiful." You wrap your legs around his waist. "Oh my god," you scoff, looking away. "I enjoy looking at beautiful people." He pulls you even closer. "Be glad flattery works for me." You smile looking down. "You know I love you," he pulls up your chin with his finger. He kisses you softly on the lips. Eleven began getting tired and started swimming in the pool. Eddie never did question your bandaid.
After an hour or two, the sun started setting, causing all the kids to get tired. Everyone went inside after drying off and changed into dry clothes. You, Steve, Johnathan, and Robin continued to drink, making the night ten times funnier. Eddie only drank a little, just enough for him to settle his nerves and get comfortable with everyone.
"It's simple!" Eddie shouted. "Water?" Johnathan guessed. "No," Eddie facepalmed, "no, hot!" "Lava?" Nancy asked. "No, no, no, think hotter!" Eddie said excited. "Oh! Oh! Ellie!" Steve said, almost blackout drunk. "Omg, ew," Max said. "Yes! Correct!" Eddie smiled. "Wait, what the fuck?" Max laughed. "Just the facts!" Erica said sassily. You laughed. "Ooh!" Robin says, "let's play truth or dare!" Everyone starts shouting and gets excited to play. You grab Eddie's arm and pull him upstairs. "Where are we going?" Eddie whispered. "I don't know!" you whispered back. You found an empty room and kissed Eddie. Eddie grabbed the underside of your thighs, you jumped and he held you up. He pinned you on the wall. You and Eddie had a make out session upstairs, and the only one who noticed y'all were missing was Max. "Truth or Dare?" Max asked Steve. "Hmm," he thought, "Dare." "I dare you to go find Eddie and Ellie!" Everyone began frantically looking around. "That's easy!" he shouted. "I bet they're having sex in your bed!" Robin smirks. "Ew!" Steve shouted, "disgusting." He then frantically ran upstairs to make sure you weren't in there. Robin laughed and waited for him to come back. "Well," he said smiling, "good news and bad news." Everyone patiently waited. "Good news is, they weren't there. The bad news is, they weren't there." Steve nearly falls over and Nancy had to catch him. "How about no more alcohol for you!" "Well, where are they then?" Max asked. Steve walks back upstairs to find you and Eddie. Once the opens the door, he yells, "found you!", and then passes out on the floor. "Steve!?!" you shout running to him. He wakes up after a second. "I'm okay," he holds his head.
You help Steve downstairs and everyone is staring at you. "Shut up," you say, "I already know what you're going to say." You sit Steve down on a chair in the living room. "Eddie," you ask as everyone is talking, causing the room to get extra loud. "Yes sweetheart?" he says rubbing your back. "What were you talking about in the pool?" He was quiet for a minute, "how beautiful you are." "Huh?" "It doesn't matter, sweetheart." You went to take another drink, "sweetheart, put the cup dow-" you down the whole cup. "Alright, okay, that's enough love." He picks you up bridal style, an plops you down on the couch. Eddie cuddles up next to you. "I can't!" Nancy squeals, "they are so cute!" You and Eddie pay no attention to them.
20 minutes later everyone is playing a card game. Eddie said he wanted to play, but you are too tired. Eddie sits on the floor, and you sit on the couch above him. You start playing with his hair. Nancy and Johnathan are snuggled up, but won't show each other their cards, same for Mike and Eleven, and Lucas and Max. You divide his hair in half. "What are you doing?" He laughs as everyone makes a circle. "I'm making your hair beautiful!" you chuckle. "It was beautiful before!" he shouts. "I don't know, it's like a rat's nest in here." Everyone laughs. "Hey!" he shouts. "Just the facts!" Erica laughs. "Erica!" Lucas shouts. You sucked at french braiding, but you decided to use Eddie as practice. You start on the right side. "Hold on to this one," you whisper into his ear, pointing to his queen. He smiles and puts down a six. When you finish the braids, you tell Eddie to turn around. Eddie in braids. The funniest sight to see.
After a while, everyone gets tired. You are laying in between Eddie's legs, leaning on his chest. Nancy has just left with Mike, Lucas, Erica, and Dustin. Robin is picking on Steve, and Johnathan is passed out on the couch. Eleven, Max, and Will are playing a board game. It's getting late, and you know you should leave. You start to get up, and Eddie pulls you down. He wraps his arms tighter around you and rests his chin on your head. "Sleep baby." You mumble something. You are close to falling asleep and hear Steve say something. "You don't really love her, do you?" Eddie presses another kiss on your head, chuckling softly. "Yeah man, I do," he says softly, "she is the love of my life." Steve and Robin start making fun of how much of a simp he is, but his next words, you will never forget.
"I'm going to marry her."
