richie's pov

it's been a week since me and eddie started dating. we decided not to tell the losers just yet. i know they'll support us but i just don't want anyone knowing our business. 

it's 3:49 pm on a sunday. i sat in my bed reading comics and listening to music when the doorbell ring. i took off my headphone and listened again. the doorbell ran once again. 

i sighed and walked downstairs. i opened the door to see stan's mom panicked. 

"oh hi, mrs. uris." i greeted the woman.

"hello, richie. i came to see if you've seen stanley or bill." she said.

"no, not since friday. but is everything okay?" i asked politely. 

"well not quite. they got into a fight with my husband and ran off yesterday. they said they were going to live somewhere else so i figured with a friend."

"hm. well i think i might know where they are. of course i can be wrong but we can look." i told mrs. uris and tried to calm here down.

she nodded and we went inside her car. i gave her the directions and soon enough, we where at the barrens. 

"the barrens?" mrs. uris asked confused.

"it should be around here somewhere..." i looked for the entrance.

"ah ha!" i went inside and mrs. uris followed.

a wrinkled blanket laid on the hammock and a backpack sat on the floor. 

"yeah. they've been here." just when i said that, a skinny figure came down the steps.

"mrs. uris?" bill asked confused. "what are you doing here?"

"i was looking for you and stan. richie helped." she answered. a second later, stan showed up.

"mom?" mrs. uris smiled and hugged her son.

"come back home, stanley." she said as she pulled away.

"i can't do that while dad is there." stan replied.

"well i kicked him out. i found out he was cheating on me a week ago. i was just looking for a reason to say but instead, i got a reason to leave." mrs. uris smiled.

wow. do i love helping people. maybe i should do it more often. nah who am i kidding?
