Oh Noel | Reddie |

2. Amnesia

After a long day, I decided to go home, instead of my mothers, even though she would be pissed at me. My phone was off, but it was sure to blow up the second it turned on.

"you sure you don't want to stay the night?" Richie asked. We were at his house currently, standing by the front door.

"I can't, I have to at least call my mother before she freaks out too much. She always forces me to hang out with her on my birthday." I said, frowning.

"Wait. It's your birthday?" He asked. I forgot that I never told him.

"oh... yeah. I don't really like my birthday." I mumbled. I was always depressed this time of year, but I never understood why.

"you really don't like anything do you?" He asked.

"no, I like some things, its just hollidays and birthdays. They suck."

"What's the worst your mother can do, you can call her from here." I wish that were the case, but she would know. and even though I don't live with her, she still controls my every move, I cannot escape her.

"Sorry, but unless you want to be arrested for 'kidnapping' me, I have to go." I frowned, but he walked me out to my car and waved me off.

I couldn't stop thinking of him. What was with his constant flirting? Did he do that with everyone? If not, then why me? Why some shitty depressed guy who hates Christmas. Especially since he fucking loves it.
I'll never understand. Richie was trying way too hard to make me like Christmas, I just don't get why people are so holly and jolly and forget all the shit in the world. This world is made of shit, and people just ignore it.

I woke up to my phone blowing up around 5am.
It was Richie again.
Great.
I had work in about an hour anyway so I got up and checked my phone.

Christmas boy
-hello
-u up?
-don't you have work?
-can I go with you?
-hello?
-damn are you still asleep?
-who did you fuck last night to be sleeping through all these messages?
-is your phone on silent?
-or are you just a heavy sleeper
-did you die?
-should I call 911
-idk where you live so that wouldn't help

Eddie
-Richie wtf it's 5am

Christmas boy
-so what? You have work anyway
-let's go together, what's ur adress? I'll drive you

I sighed then, texted him my adress, then started to get dressed.
Soon he was at my front door knocking.

I opened the door and let him in.
"I don't need to leave for another half an hour or so, and your texts woke me up" I said.

"Damn, so you weren't busy fucking someone?" He asked

"What the hell is wrong with you" I laughed, I wasn't saying it in a mean way, just joking around.

"What?" He pouted "I was just asking, jeez" he raised his hands in the air.

"You don't need to know about my sex life" I said

"What if I want to be your sex life" He flirted yet again. I smacked him in the arm.

"Shut up, you horny bitch" I laughed

"Come on, you know I'm irresistible" He said dramatically. What is he? A theatre kid? Honestly I wouldn't put it behind him to have done some sort of drama class at least once. He always acts so dramatic, as if he's on a stage.

Soon, I had to leave for work and Richie insisted on driving me.

When I got there, a boy from school I worked with, Bill, greeted me.
"Hey Big Bill" I greeted, He was one of my first friends when I moved here.
"Eddie, who's this?" He asked about Richie.
