EDDIE'S POV

It's been months since Richie broke up with me and I don't know how I'm even breathing. Stan and Bill and sometimes Beverly take me out for ice cream or swimming but even that can't take away the pain.

Everything makes me think about him. No matter what, I'm still in love with him. I finally mustered the strength to text him and talk to him. I miss him so much it hurts.

--

Richie💘: I'm sorry, Eds. You're
everything to me too. I can't
live without you...

Richie💘: But I can't go on hurting you
like this. You deserve better than me,
you always have

Me: Dammit, Richie, please.
You're everything to me, you're
the only one I want. Let me help
you, please

Richie💘: I'm sorry, Eddie.
I love you, more than anything
and I promise, I always will.
But you deserve better.
Goodbye, Eds

Me: Richie, please don't leave me.
I love you no matter what,
I always have and always will.
I want you, I want us

Me: I know it's hard, but I know
we can get through
anything together. You're
a really great guy, Richie.
The best. Please, believe me,
I love you

Me: Richie

Me: Richie?

Me: Richie, answer me, please!

But I got no answer. This wasn't happening, this was not happening. I panicked, what if he's going to hurt himself? I can't fucking lose him.

I sprung to my feet and bolted out my bedroom door.

"Eddie Bear? Where are you going?"

I rolled my eyes. My fucking mother won't let me breathe for two seconds without asking where I am, what I'm doing, etc.

"Not now, ma. I have to go" I sighed.

"Eddie!" she called after me, but I was already sprinting off into the night.

THIRD POV

The smaller boy sprinted off towards his lover's house. He ignored the aching in his heart and the stinging in his chest as he panted.
