RICHIE POV

What does Eddie think!? Just leave me here with this shitty family? That couldn't care less about me. I feel bad because I yelled at him and pushed him down, I saw the fear in his eyes. I was acting just like my parents. When I got home I noticed that I'm home, alone. There's a note on the fridge.

"Business trip for about 2 weeks,we left money for you. Dont fuck anything up"

I go to my room to think, silence, perfect.

EDDIE POV

"Should I go after Richie?" I ask,

Beverly stands, "Of course, we'll all go, help him on his feet."

Everyone agrees. He's probably still gonna be in a bad mood, but we'll get through.

After school ended, the group and I went to Riches house.

"You think he came home?" Stan asked

."Well he should've, where else would he go?" I knocked. No answer, knocked again. The door opened,

"Whoa is there a party going on." Richie said sarcastically. He invited us all inside, he told us we can stay awhile since his parents weren't gonna be here for some time.

"R-richie do you h-have water?" Richie pointed the kitchen to bill. After a minute or so, Bill called me in the kitchen. He showed me a note left from his parents,

"This is f-fucked up." He stuttered, bills stutter has gotten alot better but in stressful situations it tends to spike up.

"I know Bill but there's not much we can do, but just help him through all this." Richie called us all in the living room.

"So I know we guys didn't just come here to 'hang out'." I can tell neither one of us knew how to start the conversation.

"Ok Richie," Ben spoke,

"we know you have a problem, is there any way we could help?" Richie was thinking,

"I can't think of anything, one time I tried calling the police.But my parents were tricky and told them nothing was wrong." He sat down with his hands in his face,

"I was raised my whole life being told I was nothing, a mistake, a nobody, a faggot," he wiped away his tear,

"but you guys changed that,I love you guys so much. And I'm sorry bev." Beverly went up to Richie and hugged him,

"It's ok,I forgive you," she stood,

"Hey no parents right? Sleepover tomorrow after school?" We all looked at Richie,

"Fuck yeah." We whooped And cheered.Ben was going to bring snacks and Richie is just buying a few pizzas.He already has popcorn.

This might go well.
