Winter Mystery 🎄CHRISTMAS SPECIAL🎄(Reddie)

Chapter 9

Winter was approaching. Obviously months had passed, and there was still no sign of Eddie or Sonia Kaspbrak.

It was the second last week of school, and Richie was sitting alone behind the school. His cigarette was blunt. As he threw the cancer stick onto the ground and pulled out another one, he heard voices approaching him. Not having the energy to walk away, he sat there and lit his cigarette.

As the voices got louder and louder, he started hearing their footsteps. Next thing he knows, Bowers and his group of friends are standing infront of Richie smiling.

"Aw look who it is." Henry smirked and leaned forward, "Richie 'fairy' Tozier." Richie rolled his eyes and blew smoke into Henry's face, making him cough. "Ugh!" Henry grunted, "You fucking bitch." He looked Richie directly in the eyes before smirking once again. "Where's your fag boyfriend?" He looked at his friends and looked back. Richie was getting angrier by the second. "Oh wait.." Henry leaned even more forward, "He's dead."

Those words echoed in Richie's mind, "He's dead." "Dead." "Dead."
It got the best of Richie, and suddenly Henry felt a quick, hard punch to the jaw. Richie was standing up now and had a look of spite, anger and surprise on his face. Without thinking, Henry quickly punched Richie back, making him fall to the ground. Henry jumped on top of him and started hitting him anyway he could. Somehow, Richie got our a few words. "Just how you like it huh?" Richie smirked. Henry's eyes filled with rage.

After rough housing for about five minutes, Richie's head hit the ground harder then before, causing him to black out. Later on, he woke up in a familiar room.

He was at Bill's house. As he slowly blinked his eyes open, he heard a voice. "Richie?" Stanley said looking at him with a straight face. "W-What?" Richie asked confused, "What the fuck happened..?" Richie asked trying to sit up. "You tell me, we just found you passed out on the floor." Stanley shrugged and walked over to the bedroom door. "He's awake guys!" Stanley called out to get the others attention.

As Stan walked back to Richie and sat at the end of the bed, Beverly ran in as fast as she could.

"How are you feeling?" Beverly asked Richie, putting her hands on his cheeks. "Fine as ever." Richie winked at her and smirked, even though it hurt his face. "Richie.." She said softy, nagging him to tell her the truth. Richie usually opened up to Beverly, she seemed like the only one she could talk to.

Richie fell back into the pillow, closed his eyes and groaned. "Come on honey, tell me." Beverly smiled. "It was just Bowers." Richie finally let out. Beverly's smile quickly left her face, she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Was it about Eddie again?" She asked, making Richie open his eyes slightly. "Of course it fucking was Bev." Richie groaned once more. Beverly stood up and turned around, she started to walk into the hallway. All while muttering "I swear to fucking god, I am going to kill him."

After five minutes of laying there, Bill finally decided to speak. "R-Richie I h-have to te-ell you so-omet-thing." He stuttered out in a calming way.

Richie sat back up and turned his body to face Bill, he raised his eyebrows in a questioning way. Bill got the hint and started ranting on about everything that had been happening.

In short, Bill explained that ever since they told everyone they were dating, Stanley had been more distant. Bill had no idea why because of how random it came up.

"W-What do y-you th-ink I should d-do?" Bill asked desperately, his eyes almost tearing up. Richie was lost for words, he had no idea how to comfort his sad friend. "You should probably talk to him." Richie answered, receiving a nod from Bill. "He's Stan the man, what could go wrong?" Richie winked once again. Bill stood up confidently and said thank you, he soon left the room.

Richie forced himself to get out of Bill's bed. He knew he hadn't been taking care of his physical hygiene whatsoever, and he would feel guilty if he stunk up Bill's bed anymore.

As he walked down stairs slowly, Richie scanned the area. It seems Beverly, Ben and Mike were playing UNO in the living room, whilst Stanley and Bill were talking things out in the dining room.

Richie enjoyed Bill's dining room, whenever he would stay over for dinner, Bill's whole family would sit together at the dining table and eat. Richie always wished his household was like that. He faintly remembers a time where they actually did do that, when they were actually a family. That would've been years and years ago, Richie was probably around 1 or 2. He doesn't know how he remembers it, but he doesn't complain. Any happy memories with the Tozier family, Richie treasured and protected with his life.

Richie sat down around the coffee table and watched as Mike won UNO again.

Mike laughs and says "UNO!" He smiles and plops his last card onto the pile of other cards. "What!? Again!?" Beverly drops her three cards onto the table and rolls her eyes. Ben smiles softly and neatly places his twenty cards down. "How the fuck did Haystack get so much?" Richie asked smiling. "Because Mike's a cheater!" Beverly yells and smiles. Mike smirks and let's out a laugh, "I'm just too good!" They all laugh until it becomes silent. The only sound was coming from the dining room.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Ben asked looking into the hallway that leads there. "I bet they're planning a date!" Beverly answers quickly.

Richie gulps and smiles. "I'm sure everything's fine, do you guys want to play again?" Mike asked, turning everyone attention away from the trouble in paradise. "Sure I'll play!" Richie says. "I'll play as long as Mike doesn't win!" Beverly says spitefully. "No promises there Bev." Mike winks at her and smiles. "Okay let's play!" Ben said, waiting for the cards to be given out by Mike. "Watch me kick your ass!" Richie said in a sassy way.

After twenty minuets and three games, each of them got bored. It seemed Stanley and Bill were still talking but no noise could be heard. Richie decided to go check on the two lovers.

As he walked into the doorway of the dining room, he turned to his right and widened his eyes. Richie was shocked at the sight of Bill sobbing on the floor, alone. Richie slowly walked over to him and sat down next to him. He crossed his legs and put his arm around Bill, attempting to comfort his friend.

"Shh shh. It's all gonna be okay.." Richie said softly and quietly. Bill continued to sob, with tears falling down his face and his eyes all red and puffy, he couldn't bring himself to talk. If Bill struggled to talk before, he was sure he was mute now.

Richie turned slightly and comfortably hugged Bill. Bill rested his head into Richie's chest and began to cry even more. Richie rested his head on top of Bill's, they both stayed in the position for about a minute.

As they were doing so, Stanley peaked around the corner of the window. He had came back to apologise for lashing out and not being reasonable. However, when he saw Bill and Richie cuddling, he got a rush of jealousy. From his point of view, it seemed as if Bill was cheating on him, but that was obviously not the case. Later on, Stanley realises that Bill would never do such thing, but in the heat of the moment he couldn't believe what he thought he was seeing. Instead of comforting his boyfriend and making up with him, with a soft kiss on the lips, he ran. He ran so fast. Stanley could not comprehend what image had just appeared in his mind, and he had no idea how to handle it.

Instead of facing it, he ran.

He ran.
