*Walking over to him she reached for his shoulder but he flinched. Her heart shattered, the way he looked at her wasn't the same anymore. It broke her. Why did he have to follow her. Everything would be perfectly fine if he hadn't. "Eddie, I need to know you won't say anything, ok? This has to be our secret."*

"Eddie? Hello?" She waved her hand in front of his face hoping to bring him back from his daze. Y/n needed to know he wasn't a threat otherwise she'd have to deal with him. Obviously the last thing she wanted was to hurt him or even kill him, but if that was the only way to protect herself then it might have had to be an option. God she hoped it wasn't. She'd never want to hurt Eddie, she loved him. Hence why Jason was her next victim. "Say something please."

"What am I supposed to say?" He was right. What would someone say after finding out the person they loved wasn't anything like they thought. 

"Anything, just anything."

"Well I don't fucking know what to say?" He retorted, running his hands through his hair. Y/n reached for his shoulder once again but he dodged. She didn't blame him for it although it did still hurt her. Why did he have to be here? Why did he have to follow her. She shouldn't have left the address on her table. But she didn't expect anyone to take note of it and investigate the house like Eddie did. 

"I need to know how you feel about this Eddie."

"I'm confused and terrified!" He answered honestly, unable to maintain eye contact with her.

"At least I didn't cheat on you." She joked, shrugging her shoulders in hopes of lightening the mood.

"There is a dead body laying right in front of me for god sakes!" Eddie obviously didn't find her joke amusing whatsoever.

"Right sorry, too soon." 

——

The audience cheered and clapped as Eddie bowed. He then slung his guitar over his shoulder before heading down the steps backstage. A few fans tried to approach him but were held back by his escorts. After a while of playing he really needed some beer to cool down. 

Making his way over to the front bar, he quickly scanned the busy place, hoping to find the person he was looking for. Sadly, there was still no sign of them so he decided to just get a drink and wait.

When the waitress walked over, Eddie ordered his drink. Not long later she handed it to him which is when he saw some girl heading towards him. He turned back around to face his drink, maybe then they wouldn't come over to him. Already, he wasn't interested. Although maybe they were just a fan. 

He wasn't that big, yet. Slowly, he was making his way up the ladder to fame, but he still had a loyal fan base. Therefore it wouldn't be a surprise if she just wanted an autograph or just to have a conversation with him. 

"Hey, you're Eddie Munson right?" She said, taking a seat on a barstool beside him. "I saw you playing up there and you're incredible to say the least."

"Oh, thanks, wouldn't really take you as one to be interested in that kind of music." He joked back before taking a sip of his drink. 

"Yeah, well that's not the only thing I'm interested in." Eddie was always really slow when it came to flirting so he hadn't realised she was trying to make a move. 

"Oh, what else then?" He asked, genuinely curious. Not aware that it made him seem like he was flirting back when in reality he was just trying to be kind. 

Luckily, he soon realised what was going on when her eyes wandered all over his body. He rubbed the back of his neck, not knowing what to say. Once again he searched the rest of the bar but couldn't find the person he hoped would save him from this girl. 

"God, I'm really stupid." He chuckled, glancing back at the girl. "I'm really sorry but I have a girlfriend."

"Oh." Her smile dropped, as she looked down at the ground embarrassed. "Well that's not a shocker, but where is she right now?"

"That I don't know." 

"Do you have a piece of paper and pen by any chance?" She asked, a smirk appearing on her face. Eddie in fact did have both things on him in case he needed to write down notes for anything. Reaching into his pocket, he handed her the pen and ripped a small piece of paper out from his mini notebook. She excepted both things and began to write something down onto the paper. "If you ever get lonely since your girlfriend is obviously not around...then give me a call."

She slid the number over to him, then she got up and left, glancing back one last time at him. Eddie snickered to himself, not knowing what to do with it. After staring at it for two seconds he scrunched it up so he could throw it into the bin later. 

"Who was that?" Someone suddenly said, giving him a fright. "She seemed nice."

"Some random girl who gave me her number, that I didn't want." He tucked the paper into his pocket, grabbing his drink again. "But don't worry sweetheart, she won't be receiving a call."

"Good."

"Relax Y/n." He gently grabbed her hand, bringing it up to his mouth to kiss it. He'd be too busy spending time with Y/n to give some other girl a call that he didn't have any interest in. "Me and the others are going out to eat, wanna tag along?"

"I think I might skip this time. Still pretty tired from yesterday." 

"You sure?" He wasn't going to push her even though he really wanted her to come along. It had been three years since he found out her secret yet he was still the same clingy Eddie like always. "I won't stay with them too long then."

"There's no rush, have fun." 

Eddie downed the rest of his beer, pouting at her. "You sure you don't wanna come."

"Eddie, go have fun." She repeated, pecking him on the lips before she shoved him off his stool towards them. They waved him over and he said goodbye to her, dramatically frowning. She watched him follow Gareth to the exit. Through the crowd she could see him drop something into the bin. Bingo!

Once he was out of sight, she hopped up, rushing over to where he had just been. When no one was looking she quickly stuck her hand down into the bin, snatching the small, scrunched up paper. Then she left heading back to her and Eddie's room that they were staying in at a nearby motel. 

——

It had been a couple hours since he had left Y/n to hangout with the rest of the band. They had drunken some more and had some food. It was fun but he was glad he could now see Y/n and relax. It had been a busy and exhausting day to say the least. Unlocking the door he flicked on the lights, slipping off his shoes and jacket. The second he lifted his head up, he recognised a familiar girl's lifeless body sitting on the chair. 

"You're back!" Y/n cheered, exiting the bathroom with a smile on her face. She was not phased whatsoever by the dead body. In fact neither was Eddie. Yes, he was shocked at first since he wasn't expecting it. But it wasn't the first time so he had gotten used to it. "Sorry, she was just getting really annoying."

"Oh god Y/n." He sighed, rubbing his forehead. All he wanted was to shower and then cuddle with her but now they had to deal with this. But what did he expect? She was very protective over him so of course she got pissed after seeing that girl hit on him.

"She should've taken a hint then." 

"What are we gonna do with the body?" Eddie questioned, stepping over to her. 

"We'll figure it out later, I missed you." She wrapped her arms around his neck, staring into his eyes.

"I did ask if you wanted to come."

"Yeah but I had to take care of some things." He should've known that when she declined his request it was because she was planning something. When she looked back from the girl, a smirk was planted on her face. God she only got hotter. Honestly, the psycho killer role really suited her and if anyone was a murderer he was glad it was her. "Remember, it's our secret."
