Meanwhile Rachel was still curled up tightly in a ball on her bed,crying silently to herself. Her sobs had died down after about an hour. Rachel was so distant she didn't hear the door unlock downstairs,she did hear her name being called out,she didn't hear doors opening and closing with a loud thud,or the heavy footsteps climbing her stairs quickly. Rachel didn't hear her bedroom door opening,or the sound of relief that escaped Eddie's lips,she didn't hear him speak to her,she didn't feel him sit next to her,she didn't feel him move her hair from her saddened face,she didn't feel him lift her up so she was now leaning into Eddie,nor did she feel him stroke her hair and back with his hands,trying to soothe her.
Eddie knew she wasn't going to respond,she was blanking everything,running away,whatever she was doing to ignore everything. That is what she was doing. Eddie had decided to change their position so they were both now lying down on her bed,with Rachel crying into his chest. Eddie had never seen her look so vulnerable before or upset even,it broke his heart,he wished and longed to take away the pain and suffering she had encountered. Eddie watched intently as she slowly begun to respond to his presence,he felt her hand move slightly. Next was her fragile voice which was hoarse from crying,"Eddie?"
"Yes Rach?" He said softly,stroking her hair. The realisation that Eddie was there made Rachel cry even more,now he realised how long she had bottled this up for and that she needed to cry it out of her system. The only thing he realised that he could do was be there for her,as a friend at first,to comfort her. As the sobs died down the grip on Eddie's t-shirt hadn't,it had became tighter as if she was scared that he would leave her. "I'm here for you Rach. I'll stay the night and tomorrow we'll talk about this,you need to let it pass your lips,that way it might help. Talking to someone. I'm not here to judge you and I don't think any less of you. I promise," Rachel nodded slightly in response.
Soon the tears stopped,but Rachel was still awake,"where's the spare room Rach?" He asked softly. "Stay," Rachel replied timidly,her arms tightening their grip around his waist. Eddie obliged to her demands as she slowly drifted off into a deep sleep. Eddie watched her as she slept,she looked so peaceful and content,she looked happy when she slept and he was glad to have witnessed this. Eddie watched as her chest rose and fell when she breathed her now calm breaths,he watched how her facial expression would change in a dream,he watched as she made slight movements,himself slowly falling asleep beside her.
