He didn't care if no one believed him, he had a long distance, internet girlfriend. Simple as that. The boys had figured that you were cat fishing him or just bored, but Eddie knew better. He believed in you.

You two 'met' through a forum on BBS about some random D&D shit. He messaged you privately first and that was it from there. Every day you two chatted or called since of course you shared numbers. To Eddie you were everything he wanted, even without seeing what yoh looked like, he didnt need to see you to know he loved you.
