Loser Club - IT Imagines

Christmas - Richie

I ran over to the window, slight bit of hope left in me and looked outside

My heart dropped, no snow again

I now it was almost impossible for it to snow on Christmas day, but I still hoped it would

'Y/n! come on we are waiting' My mum shouted

I rolled my eyes and walked down to see everyone was ready to open their gifts

After hours of taking it turns opening our gifts, it was finally time for inner

'Where is he?' My mum asked

'He will be here' I said and watched out the window

The all too familiar car pulled up

I grinned and ran over to the door

I didn't even give him time to ring the doorbell before opening the door

'Richie!' I said and hugged him

'Hey y/n, I missed you'

'She missed you more, trust me' My mum said

I groaned 'ignore her' I tried my hardest not to blush

Me and Richie were long-time friends, but that's as far as it goes. We were nothing more and nothing less even If I did secretly want more

'so, Richie you ready for Christmas?' my mum asked

He nodded 'I got you something y/n I hope you like it' he said

'Oh, Richie you didn't need to' I said

He placed the present in my hand

'I wanted to' he smiled

'Why don't you both go upstairs for a bit?' my mum asked

I nodded and me and Richie headed to my room

I grabbed the present and looked at it

'Should I be worried...?' I asked

He laughed 'No silly, just open it'

'Richie this is you we are talking about. Its not your collection of porn mags is it? My mum is practically a nun she will kill me' I said

He laughed 'No no, nothing rude. Just open' he grinned, just as excited as I was to open it

I slowly opened the paper, revealing a book

Not just any book, but a thick brown book, on the front a picture of me and Richie from when we were 5. I was grinning at the camera whilst he was pulling his ears out and making a silly face

My face broke out in a grin 'I love this photo'

He nodded 'me too, our first photo together'

I opened the book to see that the pages were full of our memories

'this is...' I felt myself getting emotional, the tears threatening to fall

His face dropped

'oh shit! fuck I knew this was risky! Im sorry, I didn't know you would hate it so much I thought it was- '

'it's perfect' I said

He stopped and looked at me

'it is?'

I nodded 'Its amazing! Thank you Richie I love it'

I pulled him into a hug 'thank you'

'there's also a message at the back page, but I don't want you to read it till tonight okay?'

I frowned 'why?'

'Because... I want you to read it on your own'

'okay sure, I love it Richie thank you' I said and kissed his cheek

Im sure for a second I saw him blush but before I could properly tell he stood up

'Well we better go back, down right?'

'Urm yeah' I smiled, I placed the book down and followed him to my parents

'come on kids we are watching a film!' my mum shouted

I sat down on the sofa next to Richie and got comfy

'You okay?' Richie asked

I nodded and smiled, but truth was i couldn't help but think of that book

An hour Later -

I watched everyone laughing at the film, searching around seeing Richie was too busy watching it too

I couldn't help but think about the message he had wrote in the book, what did it say?

Curiosity got the better of me, I slowly got up and walked upstairs

I grabbed the book and opened it to the back page

'Dear Y/n,

I guess people would called me a pussy for not doing this in person, I guess id rather not see your first impression and then deal with the consequences after... so here goes.

You were the only person I trusted with everything,

The one person who I could go to when I needed someone

The person who listened to all my rants about my parents,

The person who was there when I had my first heart break (what I thought was heart break anyways)

The person who I've spent 10 years being friends with....

The person I hope to spend many more.

You are the most important person I have in my life, without you I don't know what I would do. Y/n you mean the world to me and over these last few years I've come to realise something.

Remember the school dance? You were in that cute blue dress, with those silver heels you couldn't walk in? I ended up having to give you my shoes? that was the day I realised something. You were beautiful. And I am madly in love with you.

Don't think im stupid for saying that, I know we are young. But I just know, I know that I wouldn't want to see you with anyone else, I wouldn't want to be with anyone else either...

I love you.

My eyes watered as I reread the whole thing again

He loved me? he felt the same as me?

I put the book down and walked out to go see him when I hit something hard

I looked up to see Richie

'Urm hey... where did you go?'

I didn't say anything and placed my lips on his

He pulled away

'you read it?'

I nodded 'I love you too.'

'You do? Are you sure, I don't want you saying that because- '

'Shut up Richie, I love you too. I always have'

His face broke out in a grin 'I was hoping so'

I smiled and pecked his lips once more

'Y/n look out the window' my mum shouted

I frowned and walked over

My eyes widened

'Its snowing!' I said

'It's a Christmas miracle' richie said

'It really is' I grinned and kissed his cheek
