(Richie's POV)
I walked down the hall of Eddie's uncle's house, and I was baffled. He hated me. He really just told me that he never wanted to see me again. I knew something was up, but I wanted to give him space. I thought if I bothered him, he might feel worse.
I handed his uncle the roses as I walked solemnly towards the door.
"Be sure to water those," I sniffed. I covered my face with my arm and ran away.
Outside, after I shut the door to his house quietly, I looked up at the sky. I screamed. A long powerful scream omitted from my mouth and I fell to my knees. Snowflakes hit my eyelashes and made the suit look even more like a penguin. I felt ridiculous. I had put all this effort in to asking him the dance, and he wouldn't even hear me out. He never wanted to see me ever again.
Words could not describe how awful I felt. My stomach was tied into knots and I thought I might faint. Was this heartbreak?
I walked home slowly. My arms and legs felt heavier and heavier with each step. I made it to my house after what felt like a long and excruciating journey and slammed the door behind me. I began to take off the tux as soon as I walked in the door.
"Hey honey! How did it go?"
I didn't speak, and I kept the tears and screams inside me up until I reached the bathroom. Once inside, I shut the door and slid my back down the surface of it until I was sitting on the floor. I collapsed into a ball and sobbed uglier and louder than I ever had before.
The love of my life just broke up with me, and I didn't even know why.
