I knocked on the dorm door frantically, desperately hoping that it would open. I just had another nightmare about mason. So I came to the one person that I know would completely understand what I'm going through. Eddie. Eddie was a great friend of mine, and he was Mason's best friend. He knows exactly what it feels like to lose him, to be haunted by the fact that he's dead. Eddie opened the door, half naked wearing nothing but boxers. He looked half asleep but still handsome. And here I was, wearing nothing but a big shirt, hair all over the place, my eyes were bloodshot and my cheeks were covered with tear trails. I looked like a mess. As soon as he noticed my state, his eyes widened and he pulled my into his room. "Rose, what's wrong?" He asked and sat me down on the bed. He pulled me into a hug and I started sobbing really hard as I said " E-Eddie, I-I had a-an-nother night-nightmare about S-Spokane." Eddie's body went stiff and he nodded into my hair. "Shhh, it's gonna be alright Rose, we'll get through it. You're gonna be okay. "His words made me feel calmer, and the tears just stopped. No literally, I stopped mid-sob and pulled away from Eddie enough to look him in the eye. I always loved Eddie, always felt that little something. And at that moment I couldn't help stop the words as they escaped my mouth "I'm in Love with you Eddie." Eddie was taken aback by my sudden words; however, I saw joy and hope spark in his eyes, but they quickly washed away and sadness overtook them. He sighed then said "you're just saying that cause you're upset Rose." I looked at him and said "what? Are you kidding me right now, I always loved you Eddie, I just didn't act on it." "Why?" Asked Eddie, his eyes weren't accusing, they just held undeniable curiosity. "Because I never felt like I was good enough for you." "Why wouldn't you be? For God's sake, you're Rose Hathaway. ". He looked at me incredulously. "Because you're strong, responsible, and so smart and I'm me ..." Eddie lifted my chin, looked me in the eye and said" I love you Rose Hathaway, always have, and always will." And then he did something I've always dreamt of, he kissed me. First, I was slow and sensual, and then it became more passionate, desperate. He laid me down on his bed, and hovered above me. After a long heated make out, he started trailing kisses on my neck, earning uncontrollable moans from me. He stopped, and lifted my shirt above my head, then unhooked my bra one handed. He stared at my boobs for a while then said "you're beautiful" it came out with a sigh, and I felt my cheeks burn as I blushed. He didn't hesitate to lean back down and kiss me forcefully, not that I was complaining. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled on it slightly earning a groan from Eddie. He pulled back and hooked his fingers in the hen of my panties, he looked at me as if asking for permission. I nodded and he kept staring into my eyes as he removed them. He looked at me for what felt like hours but was only a couple of minutes, for the first time I actually felt self-conscious and right before I closed my legs I felt his lips on mine then he said "you're a goddess." No words were spoken as I removed his boxers, right when he positioned himself at my entrance; he kissed me and said "I love you." "I love you too." He pushed into me slowly, and I instantly felt a horrible stinging pain. I drew a sharp breath, and closed my eyes as I felt a tear roll down my cheeks. I felt Eddie's body go stiff, and then heard him ask "Rose... Rose, where you a virgin?" I opened my eyes to see him staring at me intently. I smiled and nodded at him. I wasn't even done nodding before worry filled his eyes. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry for the pain of I knew I would have been more careful" "Eddie, I'll be alright just give me time to adjust." He nodded, but the worry was still there. When the pain started to fade away, I said "Eddie, sweetheart, you can move now." He hesitated before doing so. I was hit with pleasure instantly, I moaned out loudly causing Eddie to sigh of relief. I was touched by the fact that he worried about me so much. He wrapped my legs around his waist. His thrusts then increased in speed and then he started going harder and deeper in my also. I was. I was so close, but I needed Eddie to cum with me, but I knees it was a lost cause trying to hold back my orgasm, so might as well bring him closer to his. "Oh god Eddie keep fucking me like that, agh yes fuck my little brains out Ed." My words took both me and Eddie over the edge, my mouth parted into a silent scream, and he groaned as we both came hard. He pulled out and layer beside me. I turned my head to see a sight that made me overwhelmed with pride, Eddie sweating and badly trying to catch his breath. I turned my body to his direction, ignoring the slight pain I felt by doing so -damn I was already sore- and smiled. He looked at me with tired but content eyes and smiled back, he then swung his arm across me and pulled me to him, so I can lay my head on his chest. "I love you" I said, I heard him sigh happily and mumble it back. "Go to sleep Rosie." And that is exactly what I did, never feeling this happy and relaxed in a very long while.
