eddie's pov

the last few months with rich was amazingly awesome. it was finally summer so we pretty much live with each other now. we had become really close and i was happy i had finally found a true friend.

"eds! eddie spaghetti!" richie screamed

i snapped out of my thoughts realizing it was morning

"ow, what is it rich I'm trying to sleep," i said cuddling up closer to richie

"i have to go home now," richie exclaimed

"do you have to," i said looking up at richie tiredly

"yes but you can come over later," richie said kissing my head

he climbed out of bed and slipped on his shoes.

"see you later eds," he said walking out of my room

 4 hours later

i saw richie walking out of his house with his bike. we planned on going to the park down the road to play on the playset. i saw richie as he excitingly walked over to me.

"race you there!" richie said quickly climbing on his bike and speeding off

"richie that's not fair!" i said yelling after him trying to catch up

at the park

i held onto the swing as richie pushed me back and forth.

"higher, higher!" i exclaimed to richie

"eds if you go any higher your going to fall off," i said giggling.

he pushed me higher until i felt my hands slip and i fell hard on the ground.

"rich- OW," i screamed tears filling up my eyes

"eds oh my god are you okay," richie said rushing over to me

"no m-my hands," i said looking down at my eyes that were now red

"here," richie said kissing both of my hands. "see all better."

a blush spread across my face

"thanks rich," i said getting up of the dirty ground.

then i spun around and tapped richie on the shoulder

"your it!" i yelled running the other way

"your gonna get it eds!" richie grinned chasing after the small boy

2 hours later

i had just got home from the park with rich. we were going to spend the night but my mom said she wanted me home since i had been over there a lot lately. i brushed my teeth and slipped on some red pajama pants and a white shirt. i climbed into bed just about to fall asleep until i heard yelling from richie's house. i couldn't make out what they were saying but it didn't sound good. i quietly snuck out of window and ran over to richies house. his window was open so i climbed up and rolled into his room. i didn't see richie but i saw a giant lump under his bed covers. i lifted it up revealing richie, eyes red and puffy, and tears streaming down his face.

"are you okay bubba," i said climbing into the bed wrapping my arms around richie shoulders.

"no th-they wont s-stop fig-fighting," richie cried hiccupping slightly, burying his face in my chest

i knew richie's parents had been fighting a lot recently, which is why i tried to keep him out of that house as much as possible. richie kept crying into my chest as i rubbed his back trying to calm him down.

"its gonna be okay bub, i promise," i said pulling richie closer to me

i wiped away his leftover tears and pulled the covers over both of us. richies arms were wrapped around my stomach and my arms were wrapped around his neck, our legs on top of one anothers. i kissed richies forehead and started to drift of to sleep.
