Chapter 19 - ch:19 Secrets and Surprises

When you woke up, Eddie was gone. There was a note on your dresser that read, 'went to get breakfast, be back soon'. You rushed to Max's room. You quickly grabbed her walkie talkie. "Mike? Lucas? Dustin? Anybody?" you shouted into it. "Today is the day!" "I'm here," Lucas said, "over." "Me too," Mike replied. "Me too," Dustin said after a couple of seconds. "So what's the first step?" you ask. "Say 'Over' when your done talking, so we know you're done talking." "I'm done, 'over when your done talking'." "First, you need to distract Eddie for as long as possible, over." Mike answered."Okay, where is it being held? Over." "Steve's, over." Dustin said. "Is Eddie still at your house? Over." Lucas asked. "Yes, wait how did you know he was here? Over." "He's always there, over." Mike says. "I mean, he's only across the street, over." "Meet us there about 4 o'clock, over and out." The door opened, and you quickly rushed into your room.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Eddie smiles and comes to kiss you on the forehead. "Why were you sneaking out of Max's room?" "Oh, I just needed to grab something she stole." "Yeah, right." he said in a sarcastic tone. You go and eat with Eddie. "So about that date tonight," you say changing the subject. "It's a surprise!" he said excited. "Whyyy?" you groan. "Because," he smiles. He never brought up the fact that it was his birthday. "So what are your plans today?" you ask. "Well, going on a date with you, obviously. I don't know thats about it." "Hmm," you say, "we could do something for fun!" He smiles and nods. "I'll be right back," you sneak back into Max's room. "Is anyone with Max? Over." you say into the walkie-talkie. No one replied for a moment. "I am, over." Lucas said. "Can you ask her if she got Eddie's present yet? Over." "Yeah, I did, over and out." You take the walkie talkie, but make sure its off. "Why are you hiding secrets?" Eddie asks. "You're hiding secrets, too" you smirk. "Surprises and secrets are two different things, you have a secret." He pulls you in by the waist. "What if I have a surprise?" you smile. "Oh?" he smirks. "Where do you want to go?" you ask, "my treat." "Somewhere private." he kisses you.

You and Eddie hop in his van. Eddie drives like a maniac. How he got his license is a mystery. "Eddie slow down!" you shout. "Need and extra seat belt?" he slides his hand on your thigh. "As if that will do anything." you roll your eyes. He slides his hand higher. "Multipurpose." he smiles. You try to push away the butterflies in your stomach. "Where exactly are we going?" "Skull Rock." He smiles. "I haven't been there in years!" you smile. When you get to the road that leads to Skull Rock and asks you to jump on his shoulders. "Why?" you laugh. "Because!" he shouts. You get on his shoulders and he holds your thighs. Your thoughts are unbelievably filthy. He begins walking up to Skull Rock. He kisses your inner thighs. All you could think about is him touching your thigh.

"Eddie stop," you whine. "Why?" he latched his lips on your thigh again. "Calm down." "What?" "I can feel you throbbing." "Eddie!" "What? It's true!" "That's why you need to stop." "What if I like it?" You stopped breathing for a second. "Then that's too bad." He sucked on your thigh. "Eddie! Stop!!!" You pulled his hair. "Hey! That's not fair!" He gripped your legs tighter. "Let me down!" you wiggle. He holds you tight until you can't move. "No!" he shouts. You finally make it to Skull Rock and managed to slide off of Eddie. You start running away. "Ellie, you get back here!" he yells while chasing you. You run in circles around Skull Rock. Eddie grabs your waist and pins you on the ground. "Noooo," you shout. Eddie shuts you up with a kiss. He holds your arms down.

You and Eddie stay at Skull Rock for 3 ish hours, making out and chatting. "What's today?" he asks. "Wednesday." "Oh," he looks down fiddling with his rings. You sit on his lap. You couldn't tell him what you were planning at Steve's house, so you couldn't mention his birthday. He puts his hands on your hips. You grab his face and kiss him. He pulls you closer to him. He pulls you closer and closer. "Eddie," you pull away, "I don't possibly think I could get any closer." "You could..." "ELLIE?" you hear your name being shouted. "Come in, Ellie." You forgot you turned the walkie talkie back on. "Yes?" you grab it. "Is Eddie there? Over." "Yes." "Give me the fucking walkie talkie," you can hear Steve say. "Get the fuck over hear. Don't bring Eddie." Eddie looked at you to explain. "Be there in 20, over and out." you turn off the walkie talkie. "What the hell?" Eddie says mad. "Can't explain, can you drive me to Steve's?" "Only if you tell me what's going on!" "Don't be a bitch! I just need a ride!" "A bitch? I thought it was surprise, not a secret." "Eddie, can we please not fight?" you lowered your tone. "Fine," he says almost sad. You hop in the car and Eddie doesn't talk to you. He drops you off at Steve's and speeds off.

"Finally," Max shouts, "She's here!" Eleven is putting up decorations with her telekinesis. Dustin is yelling at Mike to wrap the present he got him. Max is baking a cake and asks you to help her. "Did you get it?" you whisper to her. "Yeah," she looks around. "I will pay you back with my first paycheck." you whisper to her. "Steve is buying the airplane tickets." "I'll have to thank him." You get up and run over to Steve. "Thank you so much!" you hug him. "Robin and Nancy helped, but I thought you deserved it." You hug Robin, who was next to Steve. "No need to pay us back, okay?" Robin said. "Okay," you smiled and went back to helping Max. You both put it in the oven and everyone sits down for a lunch break.

"So what did you and Eddie do?" Dustin said while eating a sandwich. "We went to Skull Rock." "And did what?" Will asked intrigued. "Nothing, actually." "Well, you were there for 3 hours." "It doesn't matter," you look down. "Sure," Max rolled her eyes. "I swear, ask Eddie!" you shouted. It was silent for a minute, "Eddie was super pissed. He thinks I'm hiding secrets." "Secrets?" Steve stopped eating. "Yeah! Weird I know." "So how are we going to get him here?" Mike asked. Everyone looked around at each other. The phone rang. "That's him," Eleven looked to you. "Fuck," you get up. Everyone rushes to finish their work. "Hey," you pick up the phone. "Ellie," Eddie says panicked. "I gotta ask you a question." "Ask away." "Are you cheating on me?" his voice was shaky. "Cheating on you? Why would I do that?" "I don't know, you have been so distant from me, and I can't stand it." "Eddie," you start to say. "Ellie!" Max shouts from the kitchen, and Eddie could hear it from the other side of the phone. "I need your help!" "I have to go!" you say rushed, "I will call you back!"

"What the fuck? What is she even doing at Steve's house?" I shout slamming my fists on the table. I know I have always had abandonment issues. My biggest fear is that Ellie with just up and leave. And, if anything, this is the start. I start crying into my pillow. "Fuck!" I walk out into the living room and see my uncle about to leave. "Where are you going?" I ask him. "Running some errands." He opens the door. "Do you even know what day it is today?" "Yeah," he leaves. "This is one of my worst birthdays," I say to myself, "what do you expect, Eddie? No one cares about you. You're a freak." I sit in my room. "You know what?" I scream, "I'm going to see her." I pick up the phone and dial Steve's number. "Yes?" she answers. "Fuck you, I'm coming over!" I slam the phone down and hop in my van.

"Fuck!" You shout, "he's coming!" Everyone rushes, luckily, you and Max just finished the cake, all the presents were wrapped, and the only thing that was left was everyones places. "Mike, here." you point behind the couch, "Dustin, here." You tell everyone their places. "Steve, you aren't going to hide. You are going to open the door." He nods and you hide near the door. 'Knock Knock' Steve opens the door. "Surprise!" Eddie's uncle was scared out of his mind. "Wayne?" you say. Steve closes the door as he lets in Wayne. "I was invited," he said, "I thought I should be here to celebrate." You hear an aggressive pound on the door. You turn out the lights and Wayne hides.

Steve opens the door. "Where is she?" I push the door open further, but no one was there, just a dark, empty house. I grab Steve by the collar. The lights flash on. "SURPRISE!" I nearly jumped. I didn't say anything. Everyone was here. Even my uncle was here. I started tearing up. "Happy Birthday, Eddie," Ellie wipes my tears. "You did this...for me?" "Yeah!" She cheered. "Stop," I tear up, "you're making me cry." "Happy Birthday, Nerd." Erica laughed. "Happy Birthday, Munson," Wayne hugged me, which I hadn't gotten in a while. I cried in his arms for a moment. "Jeez," I wipe my tears, "I'm emotional as fuck." Ellie pulls me into the living room where everyone else was. "Ooh, are these presents?" I ask. "Yep," Dustin smiles. I open the big one first. "This one's from me," Dustin smiles. "A walkie talkie?" I smile looking up at him. "Yeah, so now you can talk to the group." Dustin replies. I open a few other gifts from Steve, Lucas, and Mike. Ellie walks in with a small box. "This is your big gift, believe it or not." She smiles handing it to me, "it was my idea, but everyone else contributed to paying for it." I open the box slowly. "You're kidding," I start crying. I pulled out two Dio tickets. "You're kidding right?" I stand up. Everyone is smiling. "Oh my god, thank you!" I hug Ellie. "You have no idea how much this means to me." "I love you, Eddie." She whispers in my ear. I wipe my tears again. "Fuckkkk," I whine, "you guys make me so emotional." "WE HAVE CAKE!" Robin shouts. "Cake?" I turn my head towards the kitchen. I sit down at the end of the table. "Does anyone have a lighter?" Steve asks. I pull put one from my pocket. "Of course you do," he grabs it from me as the kids run around turning off all the lights. "Happy birthday to you," they all begin singing as Steve sets the cake in front of me.

When I blow out the candles, I'm sure everyone in that room knows what I wished for.
