~Memories~{REDDIE]

Chapter One

I just watched It 2 (again) and busted 7 tears. Poor Eddie :(((

'''''''''''''''''''''

Richie's POV:

"Hey, Rich, wake up."

I awoke to Beverly sitting next to me, staring.

"What.. Why."

She looked away, her voice starting to shake as she spoke,

"Eddie."

I immediately got up, not realizing there was an IV in my arm, throwing me back down.

"Oh, right. Can you get a nurse to take this out, I gotta go see him."

"Ok.."

She walked off as my mind raced.

Is he dead? Is he ok and just waiting for me? God, what if he's dead and I didn't get to say goodbye, no, he can't be dead.

Soon enough. A nurse walked in, and smiled.

"You want me to take out the IV so you can see your friend?"

"Yes, please."

She took it out and I got up, Beverly pointing down one of the halls, I started to run, or more like speed walk down it, trying to find him.

"Rich? Is that you?"

I turned my head, expecting to see Eddie but I was met with Bill coming out of one of the rooms.

"Oh, Bill. Is Eddie in there?"

He nodded and I walked in, seeing him.. asleep.

"Is he.."

"No, he's not dead." Beverly said, taking in a deep breath before continuing, "He's just.. kind of.. I can't say it Bill you say it."

I looked at him, question all over my face.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's in a coma, Rich."

My heart felt like it stopped.

He's in a coma?

"He.. What?"

"He's in a coma."

I went to the seat next to his bed and sat there, staring at the ground.

"He has to wake up at some point. I'll stay here until then."

"Richie we don't know when he'll wake up, or, if he'll wake up."

"He will. I know he will."

2 DAYS LATER

'''''''''''''''''

I was forced out of the hospital last night, I had been there 'too long'.

So, now I'm in a hotel. Waiting.

The end of my bed was the only place I felt comfortable, and the only place where I wouldn't start crying.

He's gotta wake up soon, he has to.

'''''

"Ed's?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you really think we'll know each other forever?"

"Yeah, of course we will. Why wouldn't we?"

"Like Stan said, have you seen your parents hanging out with their middle school friends?"

"No.. But I just know we'll know each other, so stop being so gloomy."

I smiled, my focus going back to the comic I was reading, we were in the hammock, I was on one side and he was on the other.

Nobody else was there, they all were busy, except for us.

"I'm bored, what the hell are you reading anyways it's been like two whole hours."

"I-"

I was cut off by Eddie getting up and laying down right on me, trying to look at the comic.

"Dude fuck off-"

"No let me see!"

"That's what your mom said to me last night!"

"Shut up!"

I smirked and he sighed, now reading the random page I was on with me.

''''''''''''''''''''''

God, I miss him so much.

On one hand, I saved him, because, he's not dead.

On the other, he's in a coma.

I still haven't come to full terms with that fact yet.

But, the main question on my mind.

Why do I feel like this? Why am I so upset, when Stan died, I didn't even cry.

I laid down, going on my phone to ask google.

'Why can't I stop thinking about someone?'

Stress, anxiety, love.

Love? What?

No, he's my best friend, he has been since we were kids.

It must just be stress, I mean, he is literally almost dead.

It can't be love.

I'm not like that.

It can't be.

AFTER RICHIE HAD FALLEN ASLEEP

''''''

I had just ridden my bike to the 'kissing bridge' and I had taken a pocket knife out.

I started to carve out R + E, I don't know why, but, Eddie is special.

He's my best friend, I really care about him, I love him. He's the only person that I fully trust, I feel really happy around him. 

I carved out R + E until I realized, what if someone who shouldn't see this, see's this. 

Shit.

I put my knife back in my pocket and rode away on my bike, I can't do this.

'''''

Startled, I sat up, still in mental pain from the dream

I know what I have to do now.

It's gonna be ok, Eddie. I promise.
