Realistic or Modern Put It Into Speed Drive

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie made the call and quickly spoke with the officers. He thaked them when they said they'd check into it before hanging up the phone with him. He sighed heavily as he came into the lounge area giving Carmen a small smile "Ready to go?"

Max smiled happily and soon went to greet the rest of the guests as they arrived to the party. As it progressed later into the afternoon she found herself sat at the dining room table with the ladies while the men stood outside smoking and drinking beers.

Carmen sat uncomfortably at the table, really wanting a quick smoke after having been social for so long but that was going to have to stop now. Eventually she turned her head back to the conversation when she heard Jess ask how Eddie was doing with the injury. “He’s getting there. The external wound healed pretty quick but he says he still gets a lot of pain from it. He’s not having anymore painkillers though. He had his two refills and I made sure it was controlled so there was no getting hooked.” She told her, “max? You okay hun?” She frowned seeing the look on her face.

Jon leaned back against the wall, running a hand over his face and glanced over at Eddie on his phone. “Im gonna come down to the bar tonight. Need to do a money drop and store some product in the basement for a couple days.” He told him. “I’ll be down late though so it’s not busy.” He told him

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply as she listened to what Carmen had said. Jon had gotten hurt before Eddie, and he was definitely healed physically but she knew he had gotten a few more refills because he was still in pain. Or so she had thought, but it finally clicked when she heard Carmen talk about Ed's past addiction "Huh? Yeah fine, just thinking is all." She said giving a small smile before she got up to grab herself a drink.

Eddie glanced up from his phone and gave a nod to Jon before taking a drag of his cigarette "That should be fine man. Just let me know when you're there and I can let you in through the back if you want." He said before giving a heavy sigh. He was keeping an eye out for an update on Ozzy, just hoping that the cops actually went to check on him.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen glanced at the time and stood up smiling. “I better get Eddie to work.” She told the girls, heading out to go grab him, “Babe, it’s almost four.” She told him, holding the car keys and waited til he said goodbyes, heading out with him. “Can you drop me off at home first? I need to lay down for a bit.” She sighed as she watched him and gently rubbed his arm while he drove. “They’ll call you once they’re done Ed.”

Jon nodded and relaxed with everyone before they all started heading out one by one until it was just him and max left, going to find her in their bedroom and smiled “hey, everyone’s gone. You can come out now.” He teased hee gently, kissing her head.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie left quickly with Carmen and started on their drive out. He gave her a small smile as she tried to ease his nerves and gave a small nod "Yeah thats not a problem." he murmured as he turned to get them home. As he pulled into the drive way he gave her hand a squeeze and kissed it gently "Call me if you need anything okay? I'll be home late."

Max sat on his side of the bed frowning deeply as she stared at the pill bottle she had found in his night stand. She'd found at least 6 empty ones in there as well which scared her as to how many he was taking now "Jon...why...why do you have nearly six empty bottles of pain meds? You've been healed up and riding for nearly 2 months now."

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded. “I was gonna come down tonight anyway. Don’t feel like being alone.” She smiked. “Be good. I’ll see you later.” She told him, leaning over and pecking his lips before getting out the car and heading inside to go take a nap.

Wendy was already working the bar when Eddie walked in and just rolled her eyes. “You’re late. Charlie came by to ask for the schedule for next week and I couldn’t find it. Don’t know where you hide everything in that office.” She muttered. He’d turned down hee advances right after he had come back to work and since then she’d been snippy with him and even more rude to Carmen whenever she came in.

Jon frowned and shook his head. “What are you doing going through my stuff like that? I can’t believe you’d dig through my shit.” He muttered. Not once denying the claims she was making but trying to change the subject away from it instead.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie frowned some when he came in and was immediately snipped at by Wendy. He shot her a glare before taking a deep breath to keep calm "I'll get it for you in a few minutes." He muttered before going to the office to put his things away.

Max frowned shaking her head "Because I'm worried about you Jon. Carmen was talkimg about Eddie and his past addiction, things clicked and it made me grow concerned." She explained before sighing heavily.

 

[decadent-rider]

He groaned and shook his head. “I’m not having this conversation max. Don’t go through my shit.” He muttered, turning and walking away instead, not expecting g her to follow him though.

By the time Carmen arrived things were clearly feeling tense still as she did her best to ignore it, heading straight through fo the back, not even hearing Wendy make a comment about her just being a distraction. “Hey, I made a doctors appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Three pm so we can go before you start work.” She smiled at him. “You okay? Everyone seems on edge.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned and got up to follow him out "No this is a conversation we need to have Jon. We are about to have a child! If you're addicted I need to fucking know!" She spat as she took deep breaths.

Eddie smiled softly seeing Carmen come in feelimg himself relax a bit. "Hey there, yeah Wendy is exceptionally bitchy tonight." He muttered as he rolled his eyes. He kissed her temple and put his hand to her stomach "Soon enough there will be a bump here...you'll let me touch it right? Chrissy was the 'keep your hands off me' type during her pregnancy."

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and smiled. “Then when we get home you get a grilled cheese and dr. pepper and you can eat that while I run you a nice hot bath. If you’re good I’ll even put bubbles in it.” She told him, pecking his cheek. “Eddie this is your baby too. The only time I’m gonna tell you don’t touch me is the same amount I normally do when I just don’t want to be touched…. Which with you is really not a lot.” She smiked, “the cops call about Ozzy yet?”

He turned and glared at her. “Don’t. Do not start pushing this. You are not my mother and you are not in charge of me.” He muttered. “I’m going for a ride. Don’t call me.” He spat back, heading out the front door

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie gave her a small smile and nodded some "Mmm you are amazing you know that?" He murmured before kissing her gently. He gave a heavy sigh when she asked about Ozzy and nodded some "Yeah...they said they would check back tomorrow. Apparently when they went by Chrissy had taken him out to get dinner." He muttered

Max frowned deeply and shook her head "Don't you dare leave Jonathan!" She yelled but frowned as he continued to leave. She followed him all the way to his bike begging him not to go, but when he physically shoved her away she stopped and just looked at him in shock.

 

[decadent-rider]

“I said stop! Why don’t you ever fucking listen?!” He yelled at her, getting on the bike and heading out, just wanting to get away from that conversation.

She nodded and sighed a little, “I don’t know what it’s like. I hope I never do. But I think you made the right decision. Because if you want to get him back then you’ve gotta show the courts that you are being calm and reasonable about all of it.” She told him seriously.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gulped as she watched him speed off before heading inside. She took a shaky breath before calling Jess while she packed an over night bag. She didn't want to leave, but she also knew she couldn't have her baby in that environment. She's come back in the morning hopeful that Jon might be calm enough to talk further.

Eddie gave a heavy sigh and nodded softly "Its the hardest thing I've had to do honestly. I just hope this really does help." He murmured before kissing her forehead gently "You're more than welcome to chill in here or at the bar, but I gotta get out there." He said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and grabbed her sketchbook out of her bag, taking it out to the bar and sat down to carry on working on her sketch of Eddie she was doing for one her classes, sipping at the lemonade he had brought her and just kept glancing up at him while he worked until she heard Wendy’s voice directly in front of her, looking up to see her laughing at the sketch. “It’s not finished.” She mumbled.

He rode for an hour, pulling off to the side of the road at a rest stop and went to sit on a bench, thinking through his life choices and hanging up every time he saw max trying to call him, trying to work up the courage to go back home and admit his problems to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Wendy came over when she wiping down the bar a bit later rolling her eyes at Carmen. She looked her over and let out a small laugh seeing the sketch she was drawing "You're kidding right? How pathetic can you be drawing your boyfriend, especially in a stupid fantasy way. What are you fifteen?" She sneered

Max tried calling him all through the night but everytime it was reject after reject. She finally stopped after the fifth time and just sent a text saying she was at Jess' place. She took a deep breath as she sat in the guest room feeling terrible braxton hicks contractions start to go as she worried more and morr about Jon.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen bit her tongue from snapping but when she just continued laughing Carmen found herself swallowing back tears “It’s uh… it’s for one of my classes. The subject was masculinity.” She mumbled, finally just packing her stuff up through her tears, gojng to get her bag, managing to walk directly into Eddie on her way through to the back while he was carrying a crate of beer, “shit sorry. I’m sorry I… I’m gonna go home Ed.” She told him, trying to hide her face a little until he grabbed at her chin gently and made her look at him. “I really can’t be around her anymore.” She told him quietly, pulling away and went to get her keys, leaving before he could protest further.

Jon finally started heading home a couple hours later, rubbing at his face and worrying over what she was going to do with him about this. He didn’t want to give up the pills. He was scared of what would happen if he did at this point but there was no way he was giving up his family either.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie frowned deeply when he felt Carmen bump into him. He put the box of beer down and made her look at him "Who Wendy?" He felt rage build up when she nodded and quickly left. He took a shaky breath before picking up the beer and going to the bar "Wendy can I see you in the office?"

Jess called him a few times but got no response. She let out a sigh of relief after the third time he finally picked up "Finally! Listen I don't care that you're pissed off but you need to get to the hospital now. Max is in labor right now and needs you here. I swear to god though if you come up here high I will make Drew kick your ass out of here."

 

[decadent-rider]

she scoffed but closed up the tab for the guy she was serving and headed back to the office. “What now?” She muttered. “If this is about-“ she got cut off when Ed started in on her immediately.

Jon frowned shaking his head. “She already talked to you then” he muttered, shaking his head. “I’m going down there now.” He told hee, hanging up and driving down there, his head all over the place instead of focusing on what he was sojng

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie turned to her and immediately started in on her "Shut up! I am fucking tired of your attitude because I fucking turned you down! Get the fuck over yourself and get out of this bar. You are not going to sit here and disrespect anyone here anymore!" He yelled before shoving her purse into her hands.

Max looked over at Jess as she came in and took a deep breath as another contraction hit "Is he coming?" She asked hopefully.

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and frowned. “He’s on his way. He’ll be here.” She assured hee.

Jon arrived fifteen minutes later walking in the room and watching Jess walk right back out. “I didn’t even have fome to grab your overnight bag.” He smiled a little

Carmen was in the kitchen sorting out his grilled cheese like she had said she would when his car pulled in the drive, glancing up when he walked into the house. “Hey… good timing foods almost ready.” She told him, eyes red and a little puffy from crying. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to cause more problems for you.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave him a sad smile as he came in and shook her head some "Its okay, we can get someone else to vrab it for us." She said quietly taking deep breaths as another contraction hit "I should be able to get my epidural soon."

Eddie came home later that night and sighed softly. He gave her a small smile and pulled her into his arms kissing all over her face "Don't you dare apologize. I fired that bitch." He murmured as he pressed his forehead to hers "No one is going to sit there and bully you or make you cry infront of me."

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded. “Hey, a little early is alright. It’s not by much.” He tried to reassure her, sitting down and taking her hand.

She relaxed into him and nodded. “I just hope she doesn’t key your car.” She mumbled. “Here.” She turned back to his sandwich, getting it on a plate now it was done. “Go eat. I’ll go get the bath going.” She smiked a little

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max took a deep breath and shook her head "A month early isn't good! Their lungs could be under developed still." She whimpered trying to calm down but she was scared to death now.

Eddie chuckled softly and smiled at her "Mmm will you join me?!" He called to her just wanting her with him. He began to eat his sandwich quickly before going up to the bathroom pouting when he saw her still dressed "No joining me?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head. “I’ll stay though.” She promised, starting to go through her bedtime routine while he got in, eventually moving to sit on the floor next to him, playing with his fingers and just seeming a little quieter than usual.

“And what is panicking going to help with?” He muttered. Jesus max you wanna think of the worst case scenario go ahead but it’s not gonna help you.” He muttered, shaking his head.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie got in and relaxed as the hot water hit his body. He kissed her fingers gently and gave a small frown "Whats wrong beautiful? Talk to me."

Max frowned deeply and took a deep breath "Okay thank you." She muttered before closing her eyes tightly as a huge contraction hit her "Shit...shit...get a nurse please. I need something for the pain."
