TW: MENTIONS OF SU!C!D3
Eddie's POV:
"They're only in boxers...maybe we should give them space before this escalates.." Bill says as they begin to back away. "You guys can come back" Richie says and rolls his eyes as we giggle. "We should all go swimming!" Stan shouts and we all agreed. We all walk to the pond quickly and throw our clothes off.
Me and Richie hold hands and jump it, it's freezing. "Hey uh..Rich?" I pipe up. "Yeah..what's up Eds?" He wipes the wet hair from his face. His pretty eyes look me up and down. "What are we..? Cause I don't think we're exactly friends.." I say and my heart beats super fast. I was hoping he would say boyfriends. "Well..what do you want us to be?" He smirks at me. I felt the others eyes on us. "Boyfriends.." I whisper and his face turns red.
"Well..Edward Kaspbrak..will you be my boyfriend?" He says and he giggles. "Yes!" I say and he instantly pulls me underwater and kisses me. This is what I've always wanted. I actually felt sorta happy in that moment. "C-can I tell you something?" I say when he get above water. "Obviously Eddie Spaghetti!" He turns to me and looks in my eyes. "I-I'm gonna be honest with you since you're my.. b-boyfriend. I haven't told anyone this. I-I've been having suicidal thoughts" I spit out and I feel my crybaby self start to cry.
"Eddie..I didn't know..I-I'm sorry..I hope you uh..to decide to stay here on earth..with me" Richie says and he kissed me. I wipe my tears. "I mean, don't get me wrong. You make life better..but..it's serious..I tried to commit a few times" I bite my lip and the others stare at me. "Have you went to a therapist? They might be able to help" Ben offers. "No, but..the thing is..my mother thinks I'm full of shit! She won't believe me even though she makes me take like a thousand pills a day! But when I'm not home for the day, she usually makes me take thousands more than I already was taking. And I'm so tired of her. Yes, I loved her, but do I now? I don't think so. Basically life have been sucky and it-" I stop and stare at the others. "Sorry..I'm ranting."
"Eddie..I know this idea could be risky but I think it's the best option you have. I think you should live here, in the treehouse. At least until school starts if possible.." Stan says. "Stanley..that's kinda..crazy!" Bill says. "Babe..it's one of the only options he's got. It worth it to try!" He says.
I gulp and glance at Richie. "Alright" I mutter. "Then I will too. My parents are always on trips and aren't even there for me. I also have a money stash" Richie suddenly says and smiles at me. I smile back, "we better go get our stuff" I stand up and walk away with Richie.
