Chapter Thirteen
Eddie woke up feeling empty inside but for a second, he couldn't remember why. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. Eddie sat there and then everything hit him like a ton of bricks. He realized that he was in Hazel's apartment. He got up the couch suddenly and marched out the door. He walked back to his hotel and got ready to face Richie. He had no idea what to expect. He walked into his hotel room. He took a deep breath. Richie was already awake and was sitting on the bed, looking down at his hands. He looked so sad and confused. When Richie saw Eddie, he ran up to him and tried to hug him. Eddie just kind of shrugged it off.
"Eddie? Ed's what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Richie asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
"No Richie. Everything is not okay. Do you even remember last night?" Eddie said coldly. Richie was so confused and worried.
"N-no. I don't. What happened? Are you hurt?" Richie asked with sad eyes.
"Actually Richie, I am hurt," was all Eddie said. Richie walked up to him.
"Where? Are you okay? How did this happen?" Richie asked in a concerned voice. Eddie held back his tears.
"It was you, Richie. This happened because of you," Richie's world came crashing down. He hurt Eddie?
"I- I hurt you? Eddie what did I do?" Richie stammered. Eddie held up his hand and showed Richie the bruise.
"You did this Richie! You were so drunk last night and I tried to help you! I really did! I wanted to help you so bad, but you just wouldn't listen to me. I wanted to make you feel better. I finally got you back to our room and told you to go to sleep so you would feel better but you just yelled at me. You told me you were fine. I told you I loved you and I wanted to help you. I put my hand on your cheek and you just pushed me away as if it meant nothing. As if I meant nothing. You said you didn't love me and that we were done. You told me to leave you alone," Eddie let it all out, all of the emotions he had been bottling up came out. Richie broke down. He didn't remember doing any of this. He couldn't believe that he told Eddie he didn't love him. How could he even say that? Eddie was the most important person in his life and he hurt him. Eddie just stood there, incredibly sad but also furious.
"I did that?" was all Richie could muster.
"Yes. You did. You heartbroke me Richie. You made me feel alone, as if I was nothing to you," Eddie said quietly.
"I'm so sorry Eddie. I am SO sorry. I don't know how I could do that to you. You are my whole world Ed's and I love you so much. I'm sure I said a bunch of horrible, idiotic things last night, but I didn't mean any of them. I love you," Richie said with so much guilt and sadness in his voice, it was hard not to feel bad for him.
"I'm sorry Rich, I just... I can't do this right now," Eddie said, he grabbed his coat and left them room. Richie stood there, watching him leave. He didn't say a word.
This chapter is really short! I have some good ideas for the next few chapters!
