savannah laid on her couch. her hair was in a messy bun and she wore an oversized hoodie.

she sat there, waiting for richie and bev to show up.

finally, savannah heard a knock on the front door.

she slowly got up to open the door.

her eyes widened as richie seemed to have brought the whole club, except eddie of course.

"i'm sorry sav," richie said, walking into her house. "i couldn't stop them from coming."

stan entered her house with a publix bag and bill carried two.

ben pulled her into a quick hug, as did mike.

lastly, bev walked into her friends house, closing the door and grabbing her hand.

the group sat scattered in savannah's bedroom.

bill and stan had both brought the girl tubs of ice cream.

beverly held her hand as savannah explained to the group what had happened with eddie.

"g-greta is a-a bi-bitch." bill angrily said.

ben nodded. "so, you smashed ice cream in both of their faces?"

richie nodded. "it was badass."

"this doesn't sound like eddie at all." beverly thought.

savannah shrugged. "i thought he liked me."

"he does like you." stan said softly, in hopes to cheer up the girl.

"he lied to me," the girl explained. "he told me his mom texted him but really, he just wanted to bring greta out on a date."

mike looked at the girl with sad eyes. "i'm sorry sav."

"it's not your fault." she shot the boy a weak smile.

"i have to go," stan said, getting up. "text me later sav."

everyone waved to stan as he quickly left the patel household.

"that was weird." ben said, furrowing his eyebrows.

the losers had all went home. it was now 11:32 at night and savannah couldn't stop thinking about eddie.

why would he lead her on if he was just going to break her heart?

the girls thoughts were interrupted by her phone buzzing.

eddie had texted her.

eddie: sav.

eddie: savannah.

eddie: please answer me.

eddie: let me explain.

eddie: savannah i'd never do anything to hurt you.

eddie: i like you savannah.

eddie: no scratch that.

eddie: i love you savannah.

as savannah read the asthmatic boy's text, her heart dropped.

she wanted to believe him, but she saw him with greta. surely he loves her too.

savannah: you love me?

eddie: yes.
