Chapter Thirty Two

1 Month Later

Angela's POV

My mom came into my room with a sandwich and a cup of juice "you need to eat" she says and I know I do, I haven't even in days but I don't have the energy.

I'm in my bed rolled on my side, my mom behind me. "I know mom I'll get it later," I say but I hear her sigh behind me. She knows I won't eat it, I've been saying the same thing to everything she brings into my room. "You know I don't think Eddie would want you to starve yourself," she says, and then she leaves the room closing the door behind her.

I start to cry. Of course, he wouldn't want me to do this I know that, but I'm not doing it on purpose. Ever since Dustin told me he died I haven't been able to do anything, when I got home the night of the mission I said hi to mom and crawled into bed and I haven't gotten out of it since. Well only to pee but that's about it. I haven't been to school in a month and I only eat when my stomach hurts so much from the not eating that I have to want something, so I usually roll over in bed and grab the sandwich my mom makes me every day and pull off a piece of the stale bread and swallow it down. I know it's not good but that's all I can physically do right now.

I haven't even checked my phone, I've done nothing. My mom said Rose and George came over to check on me but she told them it was sleeping, they've been over a few times but each time my mom makes them leave. She knows I can't do it right now, talking to people. I know they'll ask about Eddie and I'm not ready to talk about it so I just ignore everyone.

My mom also said Dustin has been over a few times even Nancy and Robin have been, Robin bought me a teddy bear that my mom put on my bed. It's brown with a red heart that says I ❤️ you and I guess I appreciate it but it's bad to know that they are all moving on with their lives. Everyone is back in school and no one cares that he's gone.

Even Dustin who was a complete mess on the drive home is now the leader of the hellfire club. Everyone is moving on but I just... Can't.

It's ridiculous I know, I didn't even know him long. But sometimes you meet people and the next second you wonder how you ever lived without them. That was Eddie to me. I just thought the whole time that we would make it back, all of us and we would all hang out as friends and I don't know. I just never thought it would've ended this way.

Max is in the hospital, after her accident we called an ambulance and I was sure was dead, it was my fault after all. I could've saved her or helped her and I didn't or at least I tried and I failed and it's all my fault.

The doctors said her heart stopped but they got her back, that's not the end of it though. She broke both her legs and her arms, and they aren't sure if she will ever regain feeling at all or if she is paralyzed, or even if she can see. The trauma caused to her eyes was bad, but we don't know anything until she wakes up. Oh, yea she's in a coma, she has been for a month and we know nothing. Like I said everyone is moving on forgetting about everything that just happened like it didn't even happen. It makes me mad but I can't even be mad when I'm even more depressed.

Tears are flooding down my face so I sit up so I can wipe the tears away. This feeling will never get better I'm sure of it, I'm gonna miss my whole senior year because I was sad about a boy I knew for a week, I'm pathetic but I can't just get over it.

There's a knock at my door, I don't say anything so my mom walks in closing the door behind me. "I don't want to talk mom"
She rubs her hand on my hair pushing behind my ears "you are so beautiful" she says softly and I know she has to say that cause she's my mom but I love that she did. I haven't been feeling beautiful lately.

"Someone's here to see you," she says and my smile instantly fades, "I told him to leave I promise but then he had a talk with me and I think you should listen to him." She says to me. "Who?" I ask and my mom stands up and walks to my white bedroom door.
