Oneshot - Rain
Eddie sit on the bench in the City Park, alone, wondering how could it all ended like this.
What happened? Let's just say, his girlfriend just broke up with him because he makes her lose his job. It's not the worse part because Eddie also lost his job.
It's raining and Eddie didn't even bother to cover himself up, he just let him get wet and silently crying in the rain.
Guess that's why people love rain. You can hide your tears on it.
But too bad, Eddie doesn't like rain.
He hate it.
Why? Because it bring a lot of bad memory to him. Many bad things in Eddie's life happened in the rain, and everytime he see rain, that memory comeback to him.
Beside, rain makes Eddie emotional. He feel sad, depressed and any bad emotion just suddenly come.
The world is moving really fast from his point of view. A lot of people running from the rain, covering themselves from the water, and other things that Eddie didn't even bother to notice.
He just sat there, closing his eyes as he feel the each water drop hit his skin.
It's all a messed up shit. He shouldn't have asked that to Carlton Drake and make him lose her (ex)girlfriend and his job.
Fucking hell, Eddie thought as he let the tears fall down from his eyes.
Man can cry too.
Not just woman.
But they can't show it.
Because the society will think of them as a loser.
But Eddie is a loser, so he can't argue with it.
Eddie could feel himself getting really cold and he probably would get a fever after this, but who cares? It's not like he have someone to worry about him.
Eddie could also feel himself being stared by a lot of people— of course, he fucking sit on the park in the middle of a rain.
Fuck everything, he thought again. But soon, his thoughts was interrupted when an umbrella cover him up.
"What are you doing?!" A woman's voice snap him out from his thoughts and Eddie slowly open his eyes.
Eddie was greeted by a gorgeous woman who is covering him up with an umbrella. Eddie could see a concern in her face.
What a nice woman, he thought bitterly.
"Do you want to be sick or something?! Let's just move from here!" The woman yelled because the rain is making it hard to hear other's voice.
But strange for Eddie, he feel the world around him suddenly become quite. Like, all of his attention is only for her— no one or anything will make him distracted.
It only got worsen (better) when his gaze meet the woman's eyes. It feel like he need a map to just get out from her eyes.
"What are you staring at?! Let's go!" She said again as she grab Eddie's arm and drag him out of the park.
"Why are you casually invited a stranger to your house? I could be a murderer you know." Eddie ask when he see the woman comeback with a cup of coffee.
Eddie had change his wet clothes into a comfy white sweater and a pair of blue training pants which he borrow from the woman who force him to come to her house.
"In your opinion, what do you think a man, crying in the middle of the park, can do?"
Eddie stared at her for a while, so she does notice Eddie's tears. "I can't answer that." he finally replied.
"I'm (F/N)." She introduce herself as she seat in front of him.
"Eddie."
And maybe, the rain isn't so bad afterall.
