Winter Mystery 🎄CHRISTMAS SPECIAL🎄(Reddie)

Chapter 12

Three days had past, and the Losers were getting worried. They all found out Eddie was safe and had gone to visit him, however they were shocked to hear that Richie hadn't seen Eddie yet. They were all sitting in the waiting room, hoping Richie would show up.

"Maybe he doesn't know?" Mike questioned, grabbing the others attention. Everyone was sitting down next to each other, other then Stanley, who was pacing up and down infront of them. "No, his dad reads the newspaper every day." Stanley answered. Bill looked up slightly, making eye contact with Stanley for a millisecond, before crossing his arms and looking straight back to the floor.

This was the first time they had seen each other in person since their argument. No one ever found out what really happened, or what was really said, but no one questioned it.

A few moments later, the receptionist called for them. She stated that they were all allowed to see Eddie now, however one at a time, as she did not want to cause a scene.

The Losers decided that Bill would go first, followed by Stanley, then Mike, Ben and lastly Beverly.

Bill followed a nurse into Eddie's hospital room, as he entered the nurse closed the door and waited outside, occasionally peaking in.

Bill slowly walked up to Eddie, Eddie's face had scratches and scars all over it, as if multiple cats pounced at him. Eddie's eyes were closed but as Bill walked closer and closer, he slowly starting waking up. Bill stopped at the side of the bed and smiled. Eddie squinted his eyes and looked up. "R-Richie..?" Eddie let out, expecting someone completely different. Bill made a concerned face, then began to talk, "N-No it's B-Bill." Hearing that made Eddie slightly disappointed, but also relieved. "Hi." Eddie said, letting out a grin. "H-How are y-you f-feeling?" Bill asked, trying to ease the mood. "Better.." Eddie managed to say. Bill helped Eddie sit up and rest his back on his pillows. The nurse opened the door and stated that Bill's time was up. They said their goodbyes and Bill gave Eddie a quick hug before leaving.

Next in the room was Stanley, seeing that it wasn't Richie disappointed Eddie. All he wanted was to hear Richie's voice, even if all he said was trash.

Once everyone else had gone in, it was Beverly's turn. Eddie was still confused as to why Richie hadn't turned up yet, since everyone failed to mention the situation.

As soon as the nurse closed the door, Beverly ran to Eddie, bracing him with the biggest hug she's ever given before. "Eddie!" Beverly smiled happily. "Hi Bev." Eddie said smiling back.

Beverly ranted on about all the drama that had been going on between Bill and Stanley whilst Eddie stayed deadly quiet. When she mentioned Richie's name in the story, Eddie's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of the fact Richie hugged Bill.

When the nurse came in for the last time, Beverly started to walk out. When she got to the door, Eddie stopped her. "Is Richie next?" Eddie asked, trying to hide the excitement in his face. Beverly paused and turned around, "No one told you?" She asked confused. "Tell me what?" Eddie asked, the excitement dying down. "Richie's not here." Beverly stated sadly.

Hearing those words made Eddie frown, "What the fuck do you mean?" He asked. The nurses eyes widened at the language and slightly walked away from the room. "We haven't heard from him in awhile, I thought someone else would've told you." Beverly stated again. Eddie started to get concerned, what if something happened to Richie? What if he's dead?

"Well we have to go look for him I mean-" Eddie started to get out of the hospital bed, but before he could step on the ground, he was cut off by the nurse rushing back in. "Sorry honey, but I can't let you go until tomorrow morning." She said, annoying Eddie.
