Something went wrong when i published this chapter a few days ago so ive just republished it
Saide had spent most of her week in bed with eyeball , she had no idea what was happening in the outside world or even her house. She knew there was nothing worth getting out of bed for as the only person she cared about was lay next to her. Richy however has a mother who is in the middle of an emotional breakdown and easily agrivated friends that he had to visit. So saide was sat on her couch in her pajamas at 4:00pm in the afternoon eating cereal and watching TV. Well she wasnt actually watching TV she was staring at a TV screen while daydreaming about Eyeball and wondering what they would be doing if he was here. Probably fucking.
At 9:00pm Saide was in pretty much the same position but replaced the cereal bowl with a piece of toast. Around that time Grace walked in quite flustered. "Oh hunny" she said with sympthy as she knelt down next to her daughter and brushed the crumbs away from her pjama top. "Eating away your sorrows is never a good idea". Saide had no idea what she was talking about and why she was stroking her hair in an affectionate way, it was very out of charatcter.
"What are you talking about?" Saide asked
"you havent heard?"
"heard what?". Saide started to get worried , thinking something had happened to Richy, or her dad or Charlie.
"Denny Lachance has died dear"
"What?!" Saide flew off the couch and covered her hands with her face
"He died today, some sort of accident, i cant remember the details"
"Shit"
"Language dear" Grace said while standing up and smoothing down her skirt. She checked her appearance in the mirror before turning to Saide.
"Me and frank have rented a nice little appartment outside of town, we'll be gone for the weekend, charlie will be with his Dad, you can cook the meals yourself cant you sweetie?". Grace didnt wait for Saides response as she kissed her on the cheek slightly, so she didnt smudge her lipstick, and left quite promptly. Saide was left in the living room lost for words. She lost her legs and fell back on the couch. "Shit shit shit shit" saide muttered in shock. She felt a mixture of worry, sadness and anger. 'What if he did it, he couldnt have, he's not like that, or is he , what if he got someone to do it, either way it is still evil, but its my fault, he only did it because he loves me, shit!' Saide thought. Saide remained slumped on the couch just completley frozen. Although her last memory of Denny wasnt great she knew he was a good guy, he was probably just overcome with alcohol and hormones. She wanted to think that her worry and sadness was for Denny but honestly all she could think about was Richy. If he killed him he could go to prison, and she couldnt let that happen , she missed him when he went to the bathroom leaving her in bed, he couldnt go to prison. If he got someone to do it then i guess thats a little bit better, as he isnt a cold blooded killer. Also if he did do it, he did it for her, he was showing his love. Saide sighed loudly and bent her head between her legs and ran her fingers through her hair. She got up and ran upstairs to change. She threw on a pair of denim shorts, plain white shirt and black converse and hurried downstairs. She dived over the kitchen table to pick up her keys and stuffed them in her pockets. Then quickly skimmed through the living room to the hallway and flung open the door. Saide gasped as she nearly ran in to a taller body infront of her that had his hand paused in the air ready to knock.
"Richy" Saide yelled in suprise
"Hey baby" Eyeball said making his way in , "are you okay?" He asked looking confused.
"Listen , i know about Denny i know he's dead, and i dont know how but if you had something to do with it its okay, i understand why, it doesnt matter how you killed him i just want you to tell me everything" Saide said in one long speech.
Richy stood still in the hallway with his mouth slightly open and eyes watering.
"He died in a jeep accident last night, one of his friends lost control of the car, he flew right out of it. I was with you last night. Remember" richy said with the same dull tone.
"Oh thank God" Saide sighed in relief while smiling from happiness.
She reached out to take richys arm but he backed off.
"You think im a killer?" Richy asked nearly breaking down into tears.
"No richy, no" Saide said almost crying aswell.
Saide walked towards Richy but he continued to step back.
" yes you do, you thought i killed Denny, you thought i was a murderer" Richy demanded while raising his voice with tears running down his face.
" richy, its not that I just-".
"Id expect everyone in castle rock to think that and i couldnt give a shit but you, i love you , i'd do anything for you, and even you think im no good". They both were crying and staring at eachother but no one moved. A few minutes later eyeball opened the front and walked out slowly , Saide watched him and tried to call out for him but she was too choked up. She just had to watch Richy as he whiped his tears away, speed walked over to his car and set off down the road without looking in her direction. Saide slammed the door and a flood of tears dripped down her face and onto the floor, she fell down in a heap of frustration and curled up into a ball and stayed there.
