Rewrite the Stars (Richie Tozier)

{ This was requested in a comment but I can't find it anywhere.}

WARNINGS : SAD :(

You think it's easy, You think I don't wanna run to you

"SO THIS IS IT THEN HUH?!" Richie yelled out into the pouring rain as you only quickened your pace down the street. 

Tears were streaming down your cheeks, but thankfully the fierce raindrops were washing them away. You and Richie had had a secret "fling" for a couple months now. When you were with the Losers, no one seemed to mind when the two of you shared sweet little kisses or ran off on a little couple adventure. But your parents and siblings saw things differently. They didn't approve of the relationship you were getting caught up in, and sometimes it felt like you were living in some old Romeo & Juliet movie. Richie was perfect to you in every way possible. But the amount of mental stress you had been feeling lately did not seemed to be worth it. 

But there are mountains, and there are doors that we can't go through

"DON'T IGNORE ME!" Richie's voice was easy to be heard over all the vicious thunder. 

He eventually caught up to you and grabbed your arm. You yelped in pain and Richie instantly let go, not wanting to cause you any harm. He remained standing in front of you for what felt like forever. His was breathing hard and you refused to meet his gaze, for the fear of falling in love all over again. 

"How can you say it's over? Just like that?" His voice was soft and pleading. It hurt to listen...

"We don't belong together. Why can't you understand!?" 

"I don't think you're speaking for yourself. Am I talking to (Y/N) or her parents?" Richie attempted to grab your hands but you stepped back quickly. 

"Me."

"That's bullshit!" A flash of lighting ripped through the clouds and the storm continued to drench both you and Tozier. 

I know you're wondering why....

"I can't keep things from them anymore!!! Even if they make me feel like I'm living in some 18th century world they are still my FAMILY!! You don't know the shit I've been going through Richard! All the times I've cried or felt so empty inside!! Everything's easy for you because you've got these amazing ass friends who want you to have whatever you desire! WELL IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!! Things don't always work out the way you plan and right now every moment we share isn't worth feeling like this anymore!!! So just let it go." 

Now it was obvious that both you and the Trashmouth were both crying and the rainfall began to slow down. 

Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls

"That's how you feel? Like I'm nothing to you?" The crack in Richie's voice made you walk slowly towards him. 

"Love is worth fighting for Rich..... But not when only one person is fighting. You never had to work the way I did for us to be together."  This time you let him grasp your hands. He slowly moved them up to his neck, as if he was scared you'd pull away again. 

Your fingers lightly grazed his cheek, and in response you placed your palms against his face. 

But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

He leaned in and you didn't even hesitate. His lips connected with your own and his hands wrapped around your waist. You pulled at his hair and felt an eruption of sparks in your stomach. Like the first time you had ever kissed Richie Tozier. When there was a need for air, you reluctantly pulled away and Richie let out a shaky sigh. 

"Promise you won't forget this." His forehead was against yours anda sad aura stained his handsome features.

"How could I ever leave this behind? I love you Richie." 

"I love you too (Y/N) (Y/L/N). But I kind of feel like we're in the Notebook." He gently held your left hand and spun you around. 

For one second, you felt like you were back in a fairy tale. But the feeling washed away as Richie nodded in your direction and released his grip from your hand. 

"Goodbye beautiful." 

"Later Trashmouth."

No one can rewrite the stars, how can you say you'll be mine?

When everything keeps us apart, and I'm not the one you were meant to find

It's not up to you, it's not up to me

When everyone tells us what we can be

Richie watched you walk down the street and disappear from sight. A part of him wanted to run after you again, but he with held from giving into that urge. He would miss hearing your voice, and holding your hand. It would be years before you and Richie Tozier would ever even SPEAK to one another again. 

"Maybe someday we'll rewrite the stars love. And the world will be ours again....."

How can we rewrite the stars? 

(Y/N) (Y/L/N) spent that night staring up at the galaxy above her. 

Dreaming of a love that could never be....

But I can't have you

We're bound to break and my hands, are tied.....

{ Wow this was pretty trash but this song isn't! I love The Grestest Showman so thanks for requesting! I hope you enjoyed Losers }
