Dear Richie

~009~

*This chapter is also a bit triggering so you can skip it if you want*

<Richie's POV>

It was Saturday and I wanted to hang out with Angelika but since we had school off for a week, she went on vacation with her family. I was bored and missed her. I layed alone in bed and started to think about what I should do. I started to think about Eddie and how much I wanted to hang out with him again. So I got out of bed and ran down stairs.

I opened my front door and I saw an envelope that said "Dear Richie". I picked it up and teared it open to reveal a letter to me. I was confused and opened it up. I saw lots of wet drops all over the letter like if someone was crying while writing it. The envelop didn't have a name so I didn't know who wrote it. As I read the wet paper I realized, Eddie wrote this....

I got goosebumps and I started to cry. Was this a suicide note? I crumbled the paper and ran towards Eddie's house, hoping he hasn't done anything to hurt himself.

I knocked on the door yelling out Eds name. I saw that the door was opened so made my way in. I was looking around every room and I didn't see or hear him. The more I struggled to find him, the more emotional I got. I felt a tear shoot down my face and drop to the floor. I wiped my cheek.... suddenly a loud noise came from the upstairs bathroom and I ran as fast as I could.

"Eddie, Where are you!!", I screamed as I finally made it to the bathroom. I heard him crying and struggling to do something. I tried opening the door but it was lock, I pounded the door hoping he would unlock it. I was overwhelmed with emotions that suddenly I kicked the door and it flung open. My eyes couldn't believe what I saw.

I saw Eddie.... His face was covered in tears, his wrist was covered in blood that dripped down to the red puddle that sat under the sink. He had a handful of pills and that's when I knew what he was going to do and what he could've done if I didn't make it in time. He wanted to overdose... I ran towards him, hugging him the tightest I've ever hugged someone.

My tears fell onto his shirt as I closed my eyes wishing this wasn't real, but it was. I didn't know what could motivate him to do something like this and why didn't he talk to me about it. All I know is that Eddie wasn't stable but at least he wasn't dead and when he gets better, I'm holding him closer than ever. I called 911 and we went to the ER. They said that Eddie was going to have to stay there for a bit to recover from his injuries and I should go rest but resting was the last thing I could do. Eddie was on my mind all night and everyday since that.
