eddie and mike then went to school together, eddie wore some of mike's old clothing from eighth grade since they were the only ones that fit him.
eddie was worried about what his mother would say about his cigarette scented clothing that belonged to another boy. he knew that she would only shove more pills down this throat and torture him with medicine and verbal abuse.
the day went by fast because of eddie's worries and anxiety. he took out his inhaler and brought it to his mouth to inhale the medicine. he never knew why he needed the small machine.
he said goodbye to his new friends and hopped in his yellow bike to go his house. he pedaled as slowly as he could, scared of his mother.
"hi, mommy... i'm home." eddie whispered.
"where the fuck have you been?!" sonia hollered, angry at her son who was clearly trembling at her voice.
"i stayed over a friends house..."
"what friend?! you don't have any. was it a girl? or better, was it another fag?!" she yelled.
eddie just stood there and started to cry.
"and who's clothing is this?! it smells horrid like... cigarettes?" sonia walked up to him and sniffed his clothing. she was beyond angry as she watched her son cry. she then did the unexpected. she smacked him so hard that his whole cheek was red.
"go to your fucking room, you fucktard faggot bitch that i call my son."
"mommy..." eddie sobbed as he ran up to up the stairs into his room. he jumped on his bed and cried for half an hour before having an idea. he remembered mike's brown marks and he decided it wouldn't be that bad if he made a couple.
(TW; self harm)
hope this doesn't hurt too much.
he found a sharp piece of plastic and lifted up his sweater. he dragged the hard plastic against his stomach multiple times until there was red all over his hands and tummy. he could only feel the burning and took out his emergency first aid kit. he put ointment on the cuts and winced at the pain, but felt numb after. he didn't even bother doing his homework, he only wanted to sleep and never wake up.
"i hate you, why can't i be happy?" eddie thought as he drifted off to sleep.

mike was home alone around 10 pm and decided to sneak out of the house to see if eddie was awake. he climbed up a tree and successfully jumped in his window open. he saw eddie sleeping and sighed, a first aid kit was out on his nightstand. there were dried tears on eddies face and mike frowned.
what happened?... i guess i should let him sleep then. well, goodnight, ed's.
