Make me Better ~Eddie Munson x Reader~

{Eddie's POV}

If there is one thing I never thought myself doing, was to spend my night in Y/N's house. She let me sleep in a guest room, and by the time she stopped crying, she was left in mumbles. She was drunk, crying as if she never cried before and she was overall a complete mess, and my heart sort of ached for her. As I was lying in bed, looking at the ceiling, I felt somewhat uneasy at the situation.

"I sent her back to Argentina. She needs to be with her kids." She mumbled before she rested on the bed as I helped her get in. I know she was hurting because she thought Laura was being a neglectful mother, like her own parents were, but I think the complete opposite. I bet Y/N didn't even let her explain, and I need to find out what happened. I can't sit still. I need a cigarette. I got up from bed and grabbed my bag and walked out. I tiptoed towards her room and I peeked inside to check on her. My eyes softened as I saw her tear stained face as she breathed peacefully, signaling to me she cried herself to sleep at some point. I shook my head. Why is this happening to me? This girl was the meanest cunt to me and my friends a month ago, now I'm taking care of her and even worrying for her situation.

"Fuck." I breathed out as I walked downstairs and out of the front door. I looked towards my van and decided a night drive would do me good, so I walked over to my baby and hopped in, starting it as well as I lighted the cigarette in between my lips. As I drove down, the street and the houses became more humble like, a Diner popped up. My stomach growled as I realized I didn't have any dinner because I took care of Y/N all night. It was only 10 PM, so it wasn't that late yet. I parked my car and finished my cigarette before walking in. As soon as I stepped foot inside and looked to my right, I saw her. She was sitting, looking out of the window with tears rolling down her cheeks. I rushed towards her as quickly as I could and sat next to her. "Laura!" I yelled for her and she turned around to look at me, noticing my presence. Her eyes gleamed as she looked at me and a weak smile drew on her lips.

"Eddie!" She called me out and I immediately pulled her into a hug and she sobbed quietly into my shoulder. Whatever Y/N did, was stupid, and this proves it. After a few minutes, I pulled away and wiped her tears away with my hand, being careful to not hurt her face with my rings.

"What happened?" I asked her and she sniffled as she played with a tissue in her hands, looking down on it.

"I- It was my fault..." She began and that's hardly believable. She was the sweetest woman I've ever met, and she would never do any wrong... But I was also taught to never judge a book by it's cover, so better not get my hopes up that she is a complete saint.

"Y/N... She told me you have a family." I said and she sobbed as she nodded at me and I rubbed her back gently.

"Yes. I had a family." She explained to me and I frowned slightly, wondering if they had passed away.

"What do you mean had?" I asked her and she sniffled at me, looking at the ceiling to keep the tears in and my heart ached for this woman.

"I... I came to America to look for a decent job, so I could pay the bills back home. I have decent English-" She said, and in order for her to loosen up some more, I added some of my fancy commentary with a small smile in my face.

"Perfect English dear." I said to her and she giggled slightly at my pet name.

"Thank you..." She looked at the tissue again as she continued talking. "I left my kids back home when they were 13 and 16. Rodolfo and Alejandro. I'm an old woman, in my 50's, but I was a young mama. I had Alejandro at sixteen by being stupid. When I left, I missed my boys so much, I sent them letter through letter, and when I saw little Y/N by herself, in that big building... My heart ached. Were my boys feeling like that little girl? Did they think I abandoned them?... Maybe I did it because I needed to fill my own heart... But I approached her, and played with her, leaving my chores aside... Soon, I became her Nana." She explained to me and my heart warmed slightly imagining Y/N as a small girl. She smiled through her tears as she continued her story only for that to fall slightly.
