I loser-love you // Richie X Eddie

To be... Dead

(Just to piss you all off, I'm introducing a new character. You're welcome :D)

(Third person)

Anyone who looked at Eddie could see how scared he was. The person, who was the person he saw? It was not Richie as you thought, no way. But, it was someone Eddie sure knew, and someone he feared. Eddie quickly found a seat and sat down, near hyperventilation.

"Edward, you're late." The teacher, Mrs. Clarke said.

He didn't reply. He just went to his seat and sat down.

He missed Richie so much. So much that a tear fell down his cheek, at 7:39 AM, on a Monday, on the 30th of August, in 1990. A tear that felt like it lasted all of class, but how could Eddie know? The bees were back, he couldn't hear the teacher so much as his own thoughts. Anyone 

looking at the boy could see the tears streaming down his face, but the only person looking him was them. The person that Eddie feared. Ashton Brookfield. His bully, since 2nd grade. 

"Eddie, are you alright?" Eddie looked up to face the teacher, who looked concerned for Eddie.

Eddie jumped up out of his seat and ran out of the classroom, down the hall, and into the bathroom. He locked himself in a stall and sobbed the hardest he has since the day Richie left.

If he loved me he would've comeback by now-

"Shut up!"

If you weren't worthless he would've come back sooner-

"Shut up!"

If you were stronger they wouldn't have seen you cry-

"SHUT UP!!!" Eddie screamed to his thoughts. Anyone watching the scene would think he was mental. Thoughts overcame his small amount of will to keep them out. Choked sobs echoed through the dirty bathroom. Eddie was completely lost. He didn't want to be here.

Or anywhere.

He wanted to be dead.

Gone.

Erased from this world.

6 Feet under.

Whatever you want to call death, is what Eddie wants to be.

"Hello?"  A voice called from outside the stall.

Eddie didn't hear them. The bees were there again. Louder than ever, and his brain was like molasses.

"Hello?" The person called out again, their voice pushing a hole in the wall of bees. Eddie held back sobs.

"E-Eddie..?" How did they know it was him?? He had different shoes.. clothes.. everything than he had a year ago. Besides his crying. It was still the same.

He held his breath. "Who's there..?" His voice was weak from a year of being unused. 

"It's not a knock nock joke Eds." The bees were gone. Only one person ever called him Eds. Eddie jumped up and unlocked the door. He swung it open and hugged the person tight.

"Hey, hey Eds. I'm here, it's ok!" Richie whispered, hugging the still-small boy back, close to crying himself.

"Rich!! Y-You don't know how much I m-missed you!!" Eddie cried, his voice raspy as Richie rubbed his back.

"I'm sorry I left in the first place. I've missed you too Eddie Spaghetti." Eddie giggled.

"D-don't call me that Rich." Eddie looked up at Richie with tear stained eyes.

They were in a moment of silence. Richie's face came closer to Eddie's, and they stared into each other's eyes. Eddie blushed ever so slightly. 

"HEY!" A shout from a teacher interrupted them, still hugging, they both looked up to see Mr. Aggs. 

"Principals office, now." The teacher's voice was stern, scaring the lo(s)vers, who both nodded quickly.

(Well, Richie is back like you all wanted...but um. This happened. Good luck Reddie! :,3)
