Joseph Quinn and characters imagines

just a best friend - e.m

this came into my head because i am honestly sad rn so here's a sad imagine 😍 this is shit and has A LOT of mistakes but i guess enjoy it loves <3

Eddie Munson was your best friend. he'd been your best friend since you were 7 years old, he was 9 and nothing had ever separated the two of you. not when he became the freak, not when you got into high school and people called him a devil worshipper, none of it bothered you because you knew the real Eddie. now, you were quite popular in the school and you'd always wondered why, maybe it was because you were a cheerleader who was actually nice to people but you hung out with Eddie sometimes but people still treated you nicely.

you had developed a crush on Eddie when you were 14 and the feelings had only progressed from the moment you realised. the only people who knew were Chrissy, your cheerleading friend and Robin. Robin had also been your friend for a while (since you were both 13) and she had kept the secret from Eddie the minute she found out, you also worked with Robin at family video which was always a bonus. both Robin and Chrissy encouraged you to tell Eddie your feelings but you never did. you didn't want to ruin what you already had with him and you knew telling him your feelings would ruin that.

it was a Friday afternoon and you were at your locker collecting your English book, which was thankfully the last lesson of the day, with Robin by your side pestering you about Eddie. "c'mon y/n, you have to tell him some day, it'll just make you feel worse keeping them in for any longer" she said in a pleading tone. she begged you practically every day to tell Eddie your feelings for him because she would say she was '99.9% sure he also felt the same way'. "Rob come on now, you know i can't do that" you replied, closing your locker after getting the book.

"look i'll make you a deal. i'll tell Vickie how i feel once you've told Eddie how you feel. i know you want me to get it out as well so i'm willing to risk everything for you to tell him and you definitely shouldn't be scared because i know he likes you back dingus" she said, as you both walked to English. it was true, Vickie and Robin were so cute together and you wanted them to be together so badly. you sighed loudly and stopped walking to look at her. "god- fine i will. i'm going to his tonight so i'll tell him then but you better do it Robin. i'm not joking" you said nervously as you heard a loud squeal come from her.

she wrapped her arms around you and jumped around in excitement. "thank you thank you. now dingus i know you're scared but please don't be. i'm 99.9% sure he feels the same way" she said those words again. "yeah yeah whatever" you said jokingly as you both walked down the hallway which was still filled with students. you both spoke about how you were working tomorrow and how she was definitely going to find out about how it went tomorrow.

after English was done and school was finished for the weekend. you walked to the car park and saw Eddie waiting at his van, cigarette in his mouth as he waited for you to come out. every Friday without fail you and Eddie would either go to your house or his trailer for a movie night and tonight was definitely the perfect time to tell him your feelings. Eddie's posture changed once he saw you walking towards him. "hi love, how was English?" he said, pulling you into a tight hug. "hi Eds, it was okay, Mrs Lane just has such a monotone voice i always almost fall asleep. she needs to liven up a bit" you joked making Eddie laugh out loud.

"she does have a boring voice. but come on, i have the exorcist at home" he said, pulling away from the hug and opening the door for you to get in. you said a small 'thank you' before he closed the van door carefully. you and Eddie talked about school as he drove to the trailer park, your nerves building up as you got closer and closer to his trailer until finally you stopped outside. "ahh home sweet home" he said as you both got out the van and walked towards the trailer. it was October time and it was starting to get darker earlier. it was already getting dark when you were leaving school, now it was practically pitch black, making you even more nervous to watch this terrifying horror film.

Eddie walked in first and headed straight for the kitchen to grab any snacks he had and you walked to the living room. you were thinking of the perfect time to spill your secret but no time came up. "make yourself at home princess. you want a blanket?" he asked as he watched you sit down on the sofa. "sure, i can get it-" you said before Eddie interrupted you. "nope, i'll get it just put the tape in please?" he said, walking to his bedroom to get a blanket. you nodded your head and put the tape in the VHS player and waited for Eddie to come back.

he came and sat next to you, blanket and snacks in hand which he chucked all over you. "god Eds be careful" you joked as he pulled you into his arms making you tense slightly. you prayed Eddie wouldn't notice and you assumed he didn't because he didn't say anything, he just kept his arm around your shoulders as he watched the tv screen.

you eyes were on the screen but your mind wasn't watching the movie, it was focusing on the arm around your shoulders and how you were gonna tell Eddie how you felt. Eddie must have realised you were in your thoughts because he pulled you out of them by speaking to you.

"you okay princess? you're acting strange" he said, his hand stroking your arm gently sending shivers through your body. you coughed before turning to him. this was it. this was finally the time you were going to tell the boy you've loved for so many years your feelings. "i just- i have to tell you something Eds" you said, sitting up from the sofa and grabbing his hands, your palms were sweaty and your nerves were building up more and more.

"what's up? you're scaring me" Eddie said as he paused the tape, turning his full attention to you. you took a deep breath before looking directly into his eyes. "im
in love with you Eddie." you said, relief filling your body as you finally let your feelings be out in the open. "i- what?" Eddie said, eyes wide in shock as he heard you say this. "i love you. this isn't a joke and i've been feeling like this for a while. i've been wanting to tell you for ages but i just didn't know how" you replied, eyes still looking into his. although there was relief in your body, there was still the lingering nerves as you awaited his response.

"y/n sweetheart, you know i love you" he said, his hand squeezing yours tightly. excitement filled your body as he finished that sentence but you didn't let it be known to him you were excited. "but i'm not in love with you like that. you're my best friend and i'm so sorry that you feel that way bur i don't feel the same way you do sweetheart" he carried on, the excitement from your body leaving immediately. embarrassment and shame now filled you. how could you be so stupid? of course he didn't love you like that. "oh" you whispered as you let your head fall to look at your lap, tears filling your eyes, blurring your vision.

you let go of his hand and stood up, hoping he couldn't see the tears now spilling from your eyes. "i- i need to go, my mums probably worried" you said, voice cracking slightly as you gathered your things quickly, wanting to leave the trailer right then and there. Eddie followed you around as you slipped on your shoes and walked out the trailer door as fast as you could. "no wait. y/n, sweetheart you have to understand-" "no i get it, i'll see you around Eddie" you said, slipping your bag over your shoulder as you walked up the pathway.

"at least let me drive you home y/n. you can't walk home in the dark, i'd hate myself if something happened to you" he shouted after you, guilt filling his body. "i'm good thanks" you shouted back, he knew you were crying, he could hear the tears in your voice as your figure got smaller and smaller as you walked further away from him. you kept your sobs quiet as you walked home but you didn't stop the tears falling. you had never been so embarrassed in all your life and he was the last person you'd thought you'd be embarrassed in front of. it was safe to say you definitely not going back to his for movie night any time soon.
