You're Worth More{R.B. & E.M.}
✰ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: feeling less than/unwanted, breakup and heartbreak, robin led you on </3
✰ 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: platonic!Eddie x reader, ex!Robin x reader(briefly)
✰ 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 1k words
✰ 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Robin breaks up with you and Eddie is there for you. Always.
✰ 𝐀/𝐍: Yeah so turns out that getting broken up with over text isn't fucking fun. Based on recent events <3
Tumblr media
"Hey! I am so incredibly sorry to spring this up on you now but I can't do this. I'm overwhelmed by the thought of a relationship. I've never been in one before and I don't think I can be friends with this looming over me. We can still be friends though! I really enjoy talking to you. If you need space though, I totally get it. Just get back when you can darling."
Your watch beeped with the message from Robin and you, stupidly in hindsight, read it after you rang up a customer. Your eyes stung at the message and you looked to your boss/grandmother with a large fake smile.
"I need to use the bathroom, I'll be back."
"I'll hold down the fort sister!"
"Thanks grams."
You locked yourself in a stall and tried not to cry, reading and rereading the same message. You didn't understand.
Robin told you she was into you.
She thought you were pretty.
She's called you sexy before.
And now it's ending via text message?
You took a screenshot to send to Eddie before telling him what happened.
You were in a bad internet spot and he was very confused by your "love is dead" message. It send before the screenshot did.
"Anyway love is dead."
"WHAT??? WHAT HAPPENED?"
Attachment: 1 image
"Love my life rn"
"oh babe, i'm sorry"
You went back to work and you were pretty busy when Nancy, also known as the best coworker ever, finally walked into the coffee shop.
Class had just gotten out and the line of students there was crazy.
After the line died down and it was just you and Nancy you almost started crying. You only had about five minutes to talk about it if Nancy would let you.
You really didn't want to cry though.
You started fanning your face and Nancy stared at you questioningly. "You hot?"
"Hot? No. Trying not to cry," You chuckled.
"Oh? What happened?" She asked, looking genuinely concerned.
Oh fuck.
The water works.
Stay in. Stay in please...
You put your hands in your sweatpants' pockets and leaned against the counter. "Um... girl problems. I'm trying not to cry because I don't want to explain anything to grams. I'm not out yet..." You briefly explained, sniffling a bit.
"It's just- she knows my schedule too," You vented to your friend. "She texted me an hour into my three hour shift and I have to hide the fact I had an almost-girlfriend from my grandma. I'm lucky she has allergies and can hardly function." You ranted, crossing your arms.
Nancy shook her head and did the same. "That's not fair."
"Yeah well... life not fair," You reminded her.
Nancy poked her lip out and held her arms out. "Hug?"
You nodded with a quivering lip and burning eyes. "Yes please."
You quickly pulled away and immediately started wiping your face. You had cleaned yourself off just in time and plastered yet another fake smile across your face.
Nancy took care of you during your shift. She kept getting customers and telling you to "study" which meant "do what you have to do but make it look important".
"bubbles ily. i think you need to hear this rn. i can't imagine my life without you."
"thanks teddy. ilyt."
"call after work?"
"always"
Your shift was up and you almost ran to your car, ready to call Eddie.
He picked up within a few rings and you stayed on for a few moments silently crying.
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry." Eddie finally said, breaking the silence.
You started sobbing at that. "It's just- She said-"
"I know hon, I'm sorry."
"Teddy, what if that was it? My- my- my one chance?" You asked hysterically.
"Not how that works babydoll. I've been in plenty of relationships, all of them ending terribly," He assured you.
You took a few breaths and tried calming yourself down.
"Focus on things that make you happy bubbles," Eddie advised.
You swallowed, choking on your own spit and sob, with a loud and disgusting snort because of snot. "I- I get paid Friday," You said.
You could hear Eddie clapping on the other. "Good! That's good! Buy yourself a little treat. A little somethin' somethin' Friday." He encouraged. "Robin did a shitty thing."
You shrugged even though you knew Eddie couldn't see it. "It's whatever I guess. Everything is fine."
"It's not fine love."
"If I pretend it is then I can stop feeling," You argued.
"I know it sounds good but you need to let it out."
You nodded. "I'll call you later. I need to think."
"Bye, love you."
"Love you too Teddy."
. . .
You woke up feeling like absolute shit. You grabbed your phone and almost clicked Robin's contact out of habit to tell her good morning.
Instead you clicked Eddie's.
"i miss her"
"don't"
"why?"
"she's not good for you"
"this whole thing is a minor detail! she's perfect"
All of a sudden your ringtone echoed around in your small bedroom with Eddie's contact picture covering your screen.
"(Y/N). What the hell?" Eddie asked, still sounding tired.
You were in a blanket burrito and sniffed again at the memory of the events of the night before. "She's perfect."
Eddie huffed and you could hear his bed squeak on the other end. "Literally she's not. Nobody is. Babe what happened was not okay. In my eyes, nothing could redeem her."
"I know." You replied sadly. "She was just the first person ever to think I'm cute and to return my feelings for them."
" I know. And I know that it feels great," He said. "I get it. I do. But this is exactly what happened with Chrissy and I."
"Chrissy's a bitch," You reminded him. "We talked you down for weeks."
You could imagine Eddie pinching his nose before hearing him sigh. "That's what I'm trying to tell you. You deserve better. Not that shit."
"Eddie?"
"Hm?"
You choked a bit on spit and started crying. "What if- what if she says that she wants me back?"
"Then you run," He chuckled. "It's because you're worth more than a text."
"Promise?" You asked quietly.
"Promise." He whispered back.
