richie tozier angst bc why not

part1

Richie had just been beaten by his father and he decided he couldn't stay there anymore. He had packed a bag with the clothes he could find in his dirty room and snuck out the window. He forgot his coat which was bad because it was only 20 degrees and he had a tee shirt and knee length shorts on. And it wasn't like he could walk in and grab his coat because he would get beat again. So he ran. He ran all the way to Bills house which was 2 miles away.He'd ran as fast as he could, mind you this wasnt very fast because his father had kicked him hard in the shin. Bill's mother,Mrs Denbrough, had opened the door for him and immediately noticed his bruised and bloody face. She welcomed him inside and called down Bill and Mike. "Mom w wuh what do you n need." Mike noticed Richie standing there and ran up to him. "Woah rich what happened?" richie had already thought of the perfect lie for this question, "Bowers" he said casually. "H h holy shhhit!" Bill managed to stutter out. His mom had brought him in the house and got him an ice pack from the freezer. "here you go sweetie, just put this on your eye while i go get some stuff to clean you up."
"ok what actually happened?" mike had asked. " i already told you, bowers happened. what else do you think?" Richie lied to keep his story straight. "i dont know but i feel like you're lying, what do you think bill?" " im with m mi mike on this one. whatever it is you can tell uh us." richie had know bill was serious because he didn't stutter as much."i-" "okay i got the hydrogen peroxide and some water." mrs denbrough tried to clean up richie as gently as possible but he still flinched away. mrs denbrough thought it was because it hurt, but mike knew that he always flinched at stuff which is why he thought it wasn't bowers. Richie thought that the water hurt and then msr denbrough brought out the hydrogen peroxide and it stung like hell. it almost hurt as bad as when his "dad" threw a bottle of alcohol at him because he didn't clean the house. mrs denbrough felt bad because he didn't even have a coat. after she was done she was going to press further about what actually happened.
