RICHIE'S POV

"Ready to go, Eds?" I asked Eddie, revving the motorcycle.

He grinned and climbed on, wrapping his arms around me.

"Yeah" he whispered, and kissed my cheek. "Let's go"

I revved the bike and sped off down the street. Eddie wrapped his arms tight around me as I sped faster. The wind felt good against my cheeks and Eddie squealed with joy.

I was going really fast, a bit too fast so I tried to slow down for Eddie's sake. He didn't notice like I did, but the bike wouldn't slow down. I tried to brake again and again but the bike still wouldn't slow down. I knew what this meant, and I was thankful that Eddie couldn't tell what was happening.

I knew what I had to do.

"Eds!" I shouted over the whipping wind. "Take my helmet and put it on!"

He did as I asked and strapped it on.

"Hug me tight, Eddie!" I instructed, and he squeezed me tight.

His arms felt good wrapped around me. It was nice to feel him one last time.

"Now tell me you love me" I said in a teasing tone as tears pricked my eyes.

I didn't want him to know I was crying.

"I love you, Richie" he giggled.

I could feel the laughter in his chest against my back. I always loved Eddie's laugh, his cute little smile...

"I love you too" I said, before colliding with the pavement.

I landed on my back with a crack, the bike going God knows where. I heard Eddie let out a blood curdling scream as he ran towards me.

"Please, God no, Richie!" he sobbed as he placed my broken body in his lap.

"Eddie...Eds...I-I'm s-so s-s-sorry I d-did this to uh-us" I croaked.

"Oh, Richie, for once, God dammit, don't talk, I'm gonna get you help, you're gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay" he panicked.

"I l-love you, Eds. S-So much" I breathed out.

I was losing time, and Eddie was sobbing into my hair, the tears spilling onto my cheek.

"You c-c-can't l-leave me, R-Richie" he sobbed, choking on words.

I gazed into his eyes as he held mine and smiled, forgetting the pain and focusing my last moments on Eddie, the love of my life.

"It'll b-be oh-k-kay, Eddie Spaghetti. I l-love you, s-so m-much. You're the l-love of my l-life. You'll b-be okay without m-me, l-look after B-Bill and the uh-others. They n-need you"

"They n-need yuh-you, too. I n-need yuh-yuh-you. They l-love yuh-you. I l-love yuh-you so m-much"

My stutter dissipated as my body relaxed, ready to stop my heart. My breathing was slowing every second.

"I'll always be here...and I'll always love you..." I sighed, gazing into Eddie's beautiful brown eyes one last time as he sobbed.

"Please, don't g-go" Eddie pleaded desperately. "I love you so much"

I smiled before taking my last breath.

"I love you too, Eds"

This is based on a true story I saw in a newspaper a while back. A couple went for a motorcycle ride and the boy went really fast. He tried to stop but realized the brakes were broken. He had her put his helmet on, give him one last hug, and say to him "I love you" one last time before they crashed. Since she had the helmet, she lived but he either died in her arms or I think he was killed instantly.

I cried writing this, please don't hate me.

I'm sorry for this depressing chapter, I'll make a fluffy one to make up for it ~Jae👑
