TRIGGER WARNING

Third person P.O.V.

Richie heard something at his window, when he looked out he saw Eddie. "Hey man, what are you doing here a like what, 12 in the morning?" "can i juts come up?" Eddie said. "Yeah sure." Richie moved away form the window to let Eddie in. when Eddie came in Richie closed the window. "So what are you doing h--" when Richie turned around he saw Eddie was start to cry. "Eddie, whats wrong?" Richie asked, worried, as he grabbed Eddie to pull him on his bed. 

"My mom, she- she hit me." "what?!" Richie almost yelled. Eddie turned to show Richie the cheek his mother hit. There was a huge mark starting to become a bruise. "Why would your mom hit you?" "I told her something she didn't want to hear. She called it a sickness and when I refused to take it back, she hit me and I ran out." "why didn't you go to Bill? He is way closer to you then me." "I don't know, I just felt like I needed to see you or something." but Eddie knew why he went there. Eddie was crying harder now into Richies chest. Richie was calmly rubbing his back, thinking about how he was so happy his parents weren't home, or something bad would be happening right now. 

he knew his parents would be out of town for a little while, so Eddie could stay. But he would have to go to Bills when his parents get back. Eddie didn't need to see anything of his home life. He never invited the losers over to his house for a reason. But he didn't want to tell them. Especially Eddie, he didn't want Eddies innocent soul to be crushed and scared after learning the truth. No one needed to know. He never told anyone.

Richie continued rubbing Eddies back and saying, "it's going to be okay, everything is okay, you're here now and away from that monster!"

After a few hours  and Richie and Eddie had moves to the couch. Eddie was laying down, his head in Richies lap. They were watching TV and laughing. Richie started playing with eddies hair and soon Eddie was asleep. Richie picked him up and carried him up stairs, carefully to make sure he didn't wake up. Richie set Eddie on the bed and tucked him in. Riche admired Eddies face and looked at every little freckle on his face. Richie smiled Softly at the sleeping boy. He heard a tiny snore and let out a small chuckle. Eddie was so cute, and for about a year Richie has had a different feeling about him. but he didn't know what it was.

A few more hours pass and Richie hadn't been able to get to sleep. He tossed and turned but couldn't bring him self to sleep. He even tried counting sheep! Eddie turned in his sleep, Richie smiled at the cute boy before him. Richie stared back at the sealing, thinking of a way to get sleep. When his eyes started feeling heavy, he hears Eddie start to murmur in his sleep. Eddie started tossing and turning. Richie got up and shook Eddie slightly. "Eddie, wake up," he said softly. After a few more tries of trying to Eddie to wake up, Eddie sits up quickly, breathing heavily. He looks at Richie. Richie sees tears in Eddies eyes and puled the boy into a hug. 

 Richies shirt was now wet from the tears Eddie let slip out of his eyes. Richie holds him close, saying, "It's okay, it's okay" Richie gently rubs his back as he cried on Richies shoulder. "Shhh, shhh, calm down its okay." Eddie was starting to calm down pulled away from Richie. "Do you want to talk about it?" Richie ask. Eddie shakes his head. he shivers and lays his had On Richies lap. Richie gave a slightly smile to the boy and started petting his hair. They sit there all night, not talking, just sitting there. Richie still playing with Eddies hair. 

The sun started rising and Richie checks to see if the boy had fallen asleep yet. But all Richie saw was a fear in the boy. Not even the slightest bit of sleepiness. Richie had an idea and says to Eddie, "Wanna go watch TV?" Eddie slightly nods and sits up, allowing Richie to get up as well. Eddie slowly walks down stairs, Richie follows but heads to the kitchen, grabbing some breakfast and some a drink for Eddie.  soon Richie got everything and went to the couch, where Eddie already had the Remote in hand was turning the TV on.  

Richie sits and they find something to watch. Eddie set a pillow in Richies lap and laid down. Richie smiled and played with the boys hair. Richie hated that Eddie was so upset. but i hate when Eddie is upset. Eddie sits up after a while and looks at Richie and says "Im ready to talk about it." Richie smiles slightly and listens to the boy. 

"It was when we were fighting IT. And this time Bev wasn't taken, it was you. And when we went to find you, it was to late. but you weren't floating in the air, you were on the ground not moving, when we killed IT I ran to you and you were breathing just slightly. When I picked you up, you opened your eyes slightly. I was crying, you were covered in blood and there was a huge gash on your stomach and you were bleeding out, you gave a weak smile and lifted your hand to my face, you wiped away some tears, you tried to speak, but you couldn't your breathing was starting to slow down, and then you were just, gone. Your hand fell and your eyes closed. Your breathing stopped-" Eddies voice cracks at the end, "Then you started floating like the others, but when you went up the kids were coming down. And you were the only one up there, and thats when I woke up." 

He snuggled into Richie, he holds him close. "Shhh, it's okay, i'm here, i'm fine, everything is okay. You're okay. It's okay." Richie kept repeating. "shhh, shhhh." Richie says again. He couldn't believe Eddie was crying this bad, over him. He always thought of himself as "Trashmouth Toizer." 

Eddie had finally calmed down and fell asleep. As Richie was starting to relax a little, he hears a car pull up.

His parents were home, and he knew what that meant. He hated he had to wake Eddie after he had just gone to sleep, but he shook him. "Eddie, you need to get up, now, you have to g out the back door." Richie says, Eddie was confused. "Whats going on." "Eddie, please, just trust me, you need to go, go to Bills house okay?" "But-" "Please Eddie, trust me." Richie pleads. Eddie look into Richies deep eyes and nods. He gets up, Richie leading him to the backdoor. 

Richie locked the door once Eddie was out and started going to his room, hoping his parents wouldn't see him. But it was too late. His parents open the door, drunk, as always.  "Boy! Get down here!" Richies father yells at me. He quickly walk down the stairs and goes over to his father. "Yes sir?" He says "Shut up!" He yells and slaps Richie hard. He then kicks Him hard in the stomach. Richies mother comes up behind him, kicking Richie in the back, quickly Knocking the air out of him. She then grabbed Richies arm, making him turn to her and grabs him by the collar of his shirt. She used whatever strength she had in her to slightly pick Richie up and put him on the door, scarping Richies back on the sharp wood. His dad came up and punch him in the gut. Richie started seeing black, his breathing becoming heavy. His mother lets go of his shirt and Richie falls, passing out
