[It's funny, she thinks, how having Eddie there instantly makes things feel better somehow. Her mind feels clearer, and there's some kind of hope that everything's going to be okay. Or at least there is until he moves in closer and takes off his sunglasses. Her breath catches as she looks up at him, horrified at the condition he's in. A memory plays through her mind then, her mother reassuring her that Jason is going to take care of "that Munson boy".
Jason beat the shit out of him. It's enough to make her want to go track him down and punch him right in the face. And maybe she would, if she wasn't absolutely terrified of Jason.
But he's not here right now. Eddie is. The worried look remains, as she reaches up with a shaky hand to press her fingertips gently against his cheek. He really took a beating last night. Because of her. That fact twists at her heart, and makes guilt creep up on her. He wouldn't want her to feel that way, she knows. But it's hard not to. Eddie forces a smile, and she mirrors one in return, and they're locked like that for a few moments. Just sadly smiling and looking into each other's eyes.
The moment eventually moves on, and Chrissy's touch drops away so she can reach out and take hold of his hand. The contact is enough to make her smile more warm and genuine.]
I had nightmares all night. I'm okay now that you're here, though.
[She pauses, giving his hand a gentle tug so he'll sit on the edge of her hospital bed with her.]

Did Jason do that to you, Eddie?
