AN: Sorry it's been a while, I was working on my other story Positive (a Peddie fanfic; check it out :) ) and school has been taking up my time. Anyway, here is chapter 10. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own HOA sadly.
"What does Set have to do with this mess?" Nina questioned looking back and forth between the boys who seemed to share a common knowledge that she did not possess. "Well Nina, Fabian was doing some research and he learned a few things, you want to tell her?" Eddie asked. Fabian nodded, taking his head out of his palms and looking towards Eddie than back at the ground. "Set was envious of his brother's love for Isis. It drove him so insane that he ended up killing his brother. And well since this whole thing happened between you, Eddie and I…" Fabian didn't need to finish his sentence, nor did he want to. Nina got the point and she looked stunned. "So once again, it's all my fault" she said so faintly the boys almost missed it. "Nina, this is not your fault. Why would you even think that?" Fabian asked. "It was my choice to go out with Eddie. Even though I knew he was your best friend, I chose to do it anyway. Set wouldn't have been able to possess you if I just decided against it." Fabian looked over to Eddie who had a look of pain in his eyes. He couldn't believe what his girlfriend just said. Did this mean she did not want to be with him anymore? Was she questioning their entire relationship? With that Eddie walked over to the door and pressed the button. "Eddie where are you going?" Nina asked. "I-I just can't right now Nina." The door closing behind him. "Eddie!" Nina cried out. She pinched her nose in frustration and to stop the pending tears. "I need to go talk to him." "Wait" Fabian answered, "Give him some time to cool down." "He thinks I don't love him Fabian, he things I think our relationship is a mistake." She said a tear escaping from her eye. "Well, do you?" Fabian asked, hopeful for her to answer with a yes. "No, I mean I don't know. We wouldn't be dealing with any of this shit right now if I had just listened to my head and stayed away." Fabian was silent. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Fabian. This is so inappropriate, I should not be talking to you of all people about Eddie and I. I-I'm so embarrassed..." Fabian was Tung tied and before he could get out a word, Nina was already gone.
Knock, Knock…
"Eddie? It's me, can I come in?" Nina heard the door unlock. "Hey" she said as she walked over to him. Eddie was standing by his desk squeezing a stress ball in the shape of yellow smiley face. A habit he's had since he was young, it was either squeeze a ball or punch a wall-he found the ball kept him out of trouble. "Hey" he answered without looking Nina in the eyes. "Listen, what I said down there I didn't mean that I regret that we started dating. I am just really stressed out, and truth is no matter if you like it or not, us dating is the cause of this shit. But don't think for one second that means I don't love you. Look at me Eddie," Nina said as she touched his cheek, "I love you and only you." Eddie answered her with a passionate kiss. When they pulled apart for air Eddie looked down into her beautiful golden green eyes and said "I love you too Nina, with all my heart." Their lips locked again as they moved over to Eddie's bed. Nina ran her hands through his blond hair as he ran his down her small back. Eddie reached out to turn off the lamp, struggling to find the cord. Click. Total darkness evolved the couple. There were left with the sounds of their heavy breath and rapid heartbeats.
Nina woke up lying on Eddie's chest. He was still sound asleep so Nina gently poked his nose, nothing, not even a twitch. She repeated the action as she whispered his name. His hazel eyes greeted Nina with a smile. "Hey Nins, what time is it?" "5:30" she answered. He laughed his voice still groggy from sleep. "Man we passed out must have been that workout," he winked. Nina giggled. "Do you want to go on a walk with me? I know it's random, but the sun is setting and I thought we could go watch it before dinner." "Sure babe, just let me throw on some clothes." Eddie answered as kissed Nina on the lips, jumped out of bed and strolled to the bathroom. Nina went to her room to put on her white sun dress and a pair of sandals. "Nins, you look adorable! Where are you going?" Amber asked. "Just on a walk with Eddie, I wanted to catch the sunset." She answered with a smile in the shape of a crescent moon. "awwww you guys are so cute! Have fun." Nina went back downstairs to Eddie's room to find him waiting for her looking cute as ever. He was wearing the shirt Nina had bought him for his birthday with a pair of khaki shorts. "Ready Miss. Martin?" he asked as she open the door. "Why yes Mr. Miller I am."
Fabian saw Nina and Eddie leave Anubis house holding hands and with smiles on their faces. The deepest parts of him were hoping when Nina went to go talk to Eddie the situation would blow up causing them to end their relationship. No such luck he thought to himself. Fabian wished with everything he had that he could just turn back the clocks. He would have never let her go; she was the one, the one that got away. Fabian decided to go up to his room, maybe get some homework done. As he walked in something on his roommates bed caught his attention. Something bright red was sticking out from underneath Eddie's stark white pillow cases. Fabian walked closer and saw it was a lace bra-Nina's bra. Fabian's head spun and his eyes turned that vibrant shade of green. This time there was no one there to control his anger, not even Fabian himself had control over his body. He went on a rampage. Fabian ran his fist through the drywall, bruising his knuckles and causing a slow stream of blood to trickle from his ring finger. He walked over to Eddie's dresser and tossed all his trophies on the floor and ripped his posters off the wall. A wave of nausea then overcame him and Fabian hit the ground with a thump. A while latter Fabian woke up, his head was pounding. What the fuck happened in here, he thought to himself as he looked around the room. When he lifted himself up off the ground he felt a shooting pain from his hand. He thought it was the broken one until he looked down. His unbroken hand was now dark purple and yellow in color, caked in a layer of dried blood. "Fuck! What did I do? How did this happen?" Fabian said aloud to himself. Then he saw it, the gaping hole in the wall above Eddie's bed. How am I going to explain this? He thought as he made his way to the bathroom. He put his hand under the ice cold water from the sink and watched the water run red and twirl down the drain. When he was all cleaned up, Fabian opened the cabinets under the sink and took out the medical kit. He popped open the medial hinges and took out the white gauze and tape to wrap his hand. "My life is on a downward spiral to hell" he mumbled to himself as he taped up his injury.
"That was beautiful Eddie! Thanks for coming with me." Nina said swinging their interlocked hands as they made their way back to Anubis house. "Anytime you want Nins." Finally back they walked into the den and snuggled next to each other on the couch. It was movie night and Amber picked out legally blond. All the boys' moaned, but the girls were not giving in. This was one of their favorites and considering just last week they had to sit through a Taken marathon for the guys, they figured they could suck it up and watch a girly flick for once. Half way through the movie, Nina felt for her locket out of habit and realized she didn't have it on. "Eddie, I think I left my locket in your room, I'm going to go check." She whispered to him. He shook his head in acknowledgement as she got up of the couch. Nina made her way down the hall and opened the door to a demolished room and Fabian passed out on his bed.
There you have it! I hope you all liked it, please review!
