THIRD PERSON P.O.V
After Bill had confessed his feelings for Stan, Richie began to wonder. What if he confesses to Eddie. But no he couldn't do that, it's Richie Tozier they'll make fun of him. or maybe...he'll understand. Him and the Losers were having a Movie Night that evening, because summer is starting and all. So they decided to go to Richie's house. He insisted, his Mother was home but his father was working a Night Shift, surprisingly , to the losers. Richie has a warm relationship with his parents, they all thought he was acting the way he was because his parents were treating him bad. But it turns out that...it's something else, maybe he could tell them?.

RICHIE P.O.V
I hear the doorbell ring as I rush downstairs seeing my mom has already opened the door. It was my friends, best friends. "Oh! Richard your friends are here!" She yells as I run downstairs. She giggled a bit at my being excited. I don't have friends over that often, it's not that my house is dirty. I help my mom clean it every twice a week. "Hi!!" I said excitedly as I let them in. "Wow Rich, your house is quiet-" Eddie says but he gets interrupted by me. "Cool! I know" I say smirking closing the door behind Mike.

THIRD PERSON P.O.V
As they all placed their stuff down, Eddie's watch started making noises. It was time for him to take his pills. "Rich, could I use your bathroom for a second?" Eddie asks digging through his fannypack. "Uh, sure! Follow me." He said as the two boys ran upstairs to the bathroom. Richie was staring at Eddie taking his pills, and he noticed a couple of bruises on his neck. After Eddie finished taking those he looked at Richie who was still staring at his bruises. "Hm?" He asks, realizing what he was looking at a few seconds later. He covered them with his collar. "We'll talk about it later." Richie said putting an arm around him and walking downstairs. "There you are!" Mike said. "Everyone else got comfortable and we chose a movie, but.." he said, " your mother wants to watch it with us." He says, not in any bad way. Just curious. "That's okay!" Richie said as they all walked back. They all had their sleeping bags but Richie and Eddie were going to share Richie's bed, why? Because Eddie nor Richie owned a sleeping bag, and because they wanted to. After they've finished watching the Movie, wich was "The breakfast club." They all went upstairs to sleep.

EDDIE P.O.V
I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and Richie was sitting next to me on a closed toilet. I know he wanted to talk about it. "So." He broke the silence as I spat out my toothpaste. "Can we talk about it now?" He said with a tired voice, "okay rich..what do you want to know." I say as I wipe my face. He sighs. "Everything." He said as he hugged my waist and burried his face in my stomach. I pull away gently, " can we go in bed first." I asked. He stood up and followed me to bed, we both got in bed , facing each other. We weren't close but we weren't far either way. "You know how my moms not the best right?" I start, he nods. "Well, recently I've been refusing to take my pills..and she's been drinking, I don't even -" I sniffled. "I don't even know why..she used to be so different I don't, I don't k-" I was interrupted by a warm hug. I hugged him back and just cried into his chest. "She's hitting me Rich! I can't take this anymore. I had to go to a hospital all by myself twice this year, just because she was drunk.!" I continue. He just hugged me in silence. "She didn't even let me come here tonight...I had to sneak out, she thinks I was in my room all day. Not like she could possibly notice next to all the alcohol she has drank." I said in an annoyed tone. Richie had pulled me really close and he had his arms wrapped around me. There was this feeling again, what does it want....why do I only feel it around him, I thought it was around all of the losers. "You know, you're always welcome to stay at my house if you want to." He says caressing my cheeks, I smile and snuggle up against him. We were talking for a few hours about everything, until I brought Bowers up. I should've known better.

RICHIE P.O.V
"Henry? He's the same as always, except now he has a girlfriend." I say playing with Eddie's hair. "What about you chee?." He ask looking up at me. "What about me?"I spat. "Well don't think I didn't see YOUR bruises." He says touching a bruise on my leg gently, but hard enough for me to know I have one there, and that he was touching it. I jumped a little, that Made him move his arm back. "I'm sorry-" he says, "it's okay I uhm.....we don't have to talk about it!" I say nervously looking at him. He sighs and falls back into the hug. I was up for another hour thinking, thinking about him, thinking about life, thinking about life without him. I wanted to protect him with my life, he meant everything to me. And I loved him a lot, only he doesn't know I love him in more then a friend way... he think's we're just friend being close. Maybe, he has this feeling too sometimes , or maybe not. I try not to sweat it and head to sleep. "Good night chee." Eddie mumbled. "Good night Ed's" I say as I kiss his head goodnight and snuggle up to him under my warm fuzzy blanket. "Good night..."
