( When Steve doesn't shove him away, Eddie feels a sort of silent victory. Their friendship has certainly evolved in the weeks since they started smoking regularly together. But he still figured that there was this unspoken boundary that had never been crossed -- at least, not until now. If Steve wanted to keep their relationship as nothing more than that of a dealer and customer, Steve wouldn't have opened the door for him and let him in, so he tries to quiet the part of his mind that seems insistent that Steve won't care about this. )
I didn't know where else to go, man, I'm so sorry to do this to you. It's Chrissy, she -- ( He clenches his eyes shut and feels a howl of agony clawing its way loose, but he swallows it down. He needs to get through this, and he needs to not alert Steve's neighbors that he's here. ) It's like something possessed her, like...I tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't. And then she was hovering and, and -- ( There were tears in his eyes now, the words growing harder and harder to get out as his throat tightened up. ) whatever it was that did this to her, it killed her, man, it's like nothing I've ever seen, and the sound.
( He jumps when he hears a noise outside, not too unlike the crunching of bones. Realistically, it's just someone who stepped on a branch. ) Fuck, man, I just left her there, she just wanted something strong to help her sleep and I just left her there.
