Fading away || Reddie

Eleven

Y'all get fucking ready this shit gets intense. VERY harsh content ahead

"So? Is this really a thing now? The gay boy and the trash mouth, huh? wouldn't have seen that one coming." Henry spat as the two walked closer to Eddie and Richie.

Richie stood up and grabbed eddies arms and lifted him up, Henry had a look in his eyes that neither of them had ever seen.

Richie grabbed eddies hand and was just about to make a run for it when Henry lunged at Eddie, pulling him away from Richie.

"Stop it! Let go of him Henry! Fucking let go!" Richie shouted at Henry, but belch was already lunging at Richie. Belch pinned Richie against the brick wall and Henry held Eddie by his shirt.

"aw, isn't that cute? But you better shut up before you get your lover hurt even more." Henry yelled at richie, and as Henry lifted his fist into the air and Eddie closed his eyes waiting for the punch, Richie shouted

"Back the fuck off Henry! Get your fucking hands off him you bitch!" And richie had crossed a line there, no one talked to Henry like that. Especially not Richie.

Belch kicked Richie in the Groin and he screamed out in pain as Henry landed punch after the other on Eddie face. Keeping Eddie trapped by his grip on his shirt.

Henry then threw Eddie against the wall right next to Richie, the two boys crying out in pain. Henry switched positions with belch and he got an inch away from Richie before he spit in his face.

"You disgust me Tozier." Henry spat, before punching him square in the face, cracking one of his lenses. Henry was just about done when he saw the hickeys, they lined both the boys necks and that infuriated him. That turned his rage into something entirely different. Something entirely more dangerous.

"You give eachother those hickeys?" Henry said in a stern voice "good job at concealing them by the way," he said as he rushed to Eddie and punched him in the throat. Eddie doubled over and began to spit up blood.

"Stop it!" Richie shouted as he bolted at Henry, not caring about the consequences. He slammed into the muscular boy and caught him off balance, knocking him to the ground. Henrys eyes looked at Richie in surprise.

Belch held Eddie back as Henry threw Richie off him and pinned him to the dirty ground.

"You're gonna regret that fag" Henry spat at Richie and he reached into his pocket. Before Richie had any time to react Henry pulled out his car keys, attacked at the keychain was a Swiss Army knife. The blade popped out and richies eyes met eddies in fear, the two were stuck.

Henry pressed the blade against richies cheekbone and kept him on the ground.

"Don't you ever say anything to me faggot, don't you ever talk back to me, you're not worth shit. You and your drunk family is nothing in this city, don't you dare act like your worth anything, and don't let me ever see you and that gay boy holding hands again." He shouted in richies face, covering him in spit.

Richie was frozen, stuck under the Swiss army blade.
"You know, to cure fags they use to beat them and shock the patients," henry started and Richie did not see how this could get any better. "I think it should be my new goal to try and turn you straight." Henry whispered and he removed the knife from richies face and pressed it against one of the hickeys on richies skin. Pressing the blade down hard, Henry cut a slice across the hickey.

"Ow! Fucking shit! Henry! Stop it!" Richie howled in pain. Eddie kicked and yelled in protest again belch but the kid was far too small to fight.

Henry moved onto the next hickey and dragged the blade against it once more. He did this until richies chest was covered in blood and almost all the hickeys were impossible too see under the dark red blood.

"Henry! Stop! That fucking burns Henry! Stop!" Richie shouted over and over as Eddie kicked as hard as he could against belch.

Henry lifted the blade off, admiring his handy work, and he walked over to Eddie.

"Oh stop trying dear, you're far too weak." He said to Eddie and he pressed the blade to Eddies cheek that was covered in tears and dragged it across.

"Ow!" Eddie screamed as blood poured down his face.

"Ta-ta boys" belch yelled as the two exited the alleyway. Once they were out of sight, Eddie ran to richie, trembling in fear.

"Richie, oh my god! Richie are you okay, Richie say something!" Eddie yelled as he looked from his ripped shirt to his exposed bleeding chest.

"Eddie, I'm okay, just.. In a lot of pain." He whispered. Eddie starting crying, brushing richies hair out of his face.

"Okay, there's a pharmacy right next to us, i have money, um, just, stay here. Fuck, ok it'll be okay Richie. I promise. I'll keep you safe." Eddie said as he ran into the pharmacy pulling off bandages and a container of rubbing alcohol off the shelves. Eddie ran to the register and threw all his stuff on the counter.

"Please hurry." Eddie panted out. The guy at the register gave Eddie a slight glance and told him the total was 7.50.

Eddie ran out the door, and turned to the corner to find Richie still laying on the ground, dried blood covering his entire chest.

"Richie, it's me, I'm here. I have the stuff" Eddie panted and he dumped the bag onto the ground.

"Okay dr. K" Eddie smiled at Richie still making jokes.

"This might hurt" Eddie said as he poured Rubbing alcohol on a cotton squab and dabbed at the cuts on richies chest. He saw richie flinch and Eddie felt horrible.

After using half the bottle of rubbing alcohol, Richie was clean and all bandaged up, tape and white bandages plastered on his chest. Eddie cleaned his own cut next and helped Richie sit up.

"I'm so sorry Richie" Eddie whispered in his ear.

"It's not your fault babe." Richie smiled at how much Eddie cared for Richie. Eddie smiled at how much Richie cared for him.
