I'm Your Protector, Henry Bowers's Little Sister (Eddie x Reader)

*9*

We snuck up Eddie's stairs very quietly so we didn't wake his sleeping mom in her chair she must of been deep asleep on a count of her snoring like a bear...

We reached the top of the stairs and he opened his bedroom door, his room was how I figured his room was spotless and cleaned recently it looked like and his bed was neatly made with just some sheets folded out from when he got out of bed. He sat on his bed and patted a spot beside him for me to sit at, I slowly walked over and sat....

"Why did Bowers hurt you?"
He asked with a hint of concern in his voice, I just looked down at the floor
"He came home drunk and I told him he should of told me where he was cause he didnt get home till real late and he yelled at me and I yelled back and well next thing I knew his hand met with my face...."
I said as I held my cheek which still stung a bit, I saw Eddie get off his bed and walked over to a first aide kit he had on his desk and brought it back over to me and had me look at him, he took out some cream to soothe the sting and gently applied it then put a bandage on it
"There all better"
He said with a crooked smile, I smiled a little back
"Thanks Eddie "
I said softly,  he kept his soft smile and wrapped his arms around me and held me close, I melted into his embrace and hugged him back tightly sniffling into his shirt.....

Early morning came, and I opened my eyes and looked around and saw that I was still in Eddie's room which made me blush a little. I turned my head over to find a sleeping Eddie beside me,  I didnt want his mom to get mad at him for having a girl in his room so I slowly got up and snuck out of his house and decided I may as well go home with luck Henry will be out cold from his drunken night....

I finally reached home and didnt see anyone so I walked up the porch steps and slipped inside quietly, still no sign of anyone, I walked upstairs to my room and closed my bedroom door softly only making a soft clicking noise as the door closed. I then went to my closet and got out a worn out mickey mouse tshirt and jean shorts and brushed my tangled mess I called hair and put it back up into a ponytail and gazed at my now patched up cheek from where Eddie fixed it up for me he was so sweet to me I still couldn't beleieve it even though I knew he and the other losers fear my big brother...

I then hear stirring and the floor creaking as if someone was walking around,  figuring it was Henry I ignored it. I then hear a knock on my door
"(Y/N)?......"
It was Henry, I then walked to my bedroom door but kept it closed
"What Henry?...."
I asked
"Can....can I come in please?"
He asked, he sounded....sad?, wanting to see this for myself, I opened my bedroom door and gazed at my big brother his eyes were looking puffy and red and had dark circles under them as if he must of been crying and hardly slept
"What happend to you?"
I asked still pretty upset with him for what he did last night, without any words Henry got down to his knees and just pulled me into a tight hug and held me there his breathing was shakey I was in shock to say the least I darted my eyes around unsure what to do
"I'm sorry.....I'm so so sorry.....I didnt mean to...."
I heard Henry finally whisper to me while still holding onto me, I know my brother is rough and tough but for me....he's different honestly, I eventually wrapped my arms around him and got to my knees to
"Its....its okay Henry"
I say softly to him which made him hold onto me a bit tighter, my brother meant well he really did...he just had a hard time showing his softer side because he saw it as weak only to me does he ever show it. We sat there in one another's arms for what seemed like forever, I remember when I was little and the thunder kept me awake at night, Henry would come into my room and would keep me company until I fell asleep and sometimes he'd sleep with me so he made sure the thunder wouldn't get me....

Deep down I loved my brother even if he was a pain at times but what big brother isn't right?

An hour later we both went downstairs and sat on the couch together and watched some TV, it was actually the most peaceful morning so far this summer, no yelling, no trouble, no hitting nothing just....peace and quiet the only thing heard was the TV show. I glanced to Henry who was dozing off still tired I'm sure, I draped a blanket over him and sat back on the couch watching TV quietly so he could sleep...

Few hours had past and Henry was still asleep on the couch, I got up and made some mac and cheese for lunch and sat at the kitchen table and ate quietly,  soon enough I heard foot steps come near me and saw from the corner of my eye it being Henry who was yawning and stretching
"Mornin sleeping beauty "
I say as he glanced over to me and rolled his eyes playfully, he then went to the stove top and got himself some of the mac and cheese I made and then walked over to the table and sat down eating quietly, I glanced up at him then back to my bowl in front of me
"Why do you look like a train hit ya this morning Henry?"
I asked a little concerned, his eyes didn't leave his bowl
"Cause....I was out looking for you all night...I felt awful when I hit you (Y/N)....I didn't mean to I just...got so angry...i wasnt fully thinking....I felt horrible when I couldn't find you I eventually hoped you'd come home and when you did I was so relieved.....I'm really sorry I did that to you....itll never happen again I swear...."
His voice sounding genuine about it, I rarely see this side of Henry unless he's really upset, I reach over and put a hand on his arm making him look up at me
"Its okay Henry....."
I say with a soft smile, he put a hand over mine and smiled a little back he may be a pain in the ass but he's still my big brother, my protector....
