EDDIE POV-
i have to bathe tonight, and i'm not excited. i usually just don't have the motivation to get out of bed, or do anything productive. i had a nice day though, talking with rich, buying stupid shit, just having high school fun. richie has been so busy, doing everything. and i feel like shit for not helping him. it feels like everything is pulling me down, and if someone asks what's wrong, sometimes i don't even know. "get in the bath, it's filled with warmer water, and i have a bath bomb on the counter. it'll be nice and soothing, please?" he asked, rubbing my shoulder. "you can wear my onesie!" i lifted my nose. "fine" i said. "that's my boy! now head in that bath and clean yourself!" he says slapping my ass as i stood up. we both bursted out in laughter, smiling at eachother. i tried not to smile, but i couldn't not-smile. i slowly closed the door. i took a deep breath as the door clicked. i slipped off my shirt, and my sweats. then my boxers and socks. i grabbed the pink, strawberry scented, bath bomb. before setting it in the water, i sniff it, calming myself. i lowered my hand, feeling the sizzling pink fluff around my arm and hand. i slipped my legs in, then settling down my chest in. it was so nice, richie was right. i pumped a couple drops on shampoo on my hand.i used a lot more shampoo now that i don't straighten my hair anymore, it's fluffy and wild. the sun was glaring through the window, shining on my face. i set my head in the water to rinse, and could hear my heartbeat under the water, muffled. i grabbed the soap, and rubbed it on my hands making bubbles. i rubbed my hands across my body, behind my ears, my neck, my arms, everywhere. i let the conditioner set, and rinsed my body. i felt so soft, and i knew the warm water reliefs my stress. i was humming my favorite song. "put your head on my shoulder, hold me in your arms, baby squeeze me oh so tight, show me that you love me too" i knew my bath was very long, and richie was probably worried. i hopped out, wrapping a gray towel around my waist, and shaking excess water out of my hair. i opened the door, to se richie standing outside of the door. "cute singing," he said, grabbing my shoulder. 'shit' i said under my breath. my face went completely red. "put on my sweater, and some H&M pink sweat pants" he grabbed me a pile of colorful clothes, exiting the room giving me privacy. i slipped on the boxers, feeling my soft skin rub together. though the tears just kept falling, and i couldn't do anything about it. i felt my heart drop as i heard a bark from outside. then suddenly, all these memories of hazel came flooding back, making me fall back into the bed. i grabbed the pillow and buried my face in it. i felt hot tears stain the pink outlining of the pillow. i heard a knock on the door. "eddie? you okay? i have a movie set up and some popcorn" he said, peeking through. "i'll be right out, rich" i said, lifting my face from the pillow "okay honey"
once i finally slipped his sweater, i stumbled to the door. i felt for the knob, yawning. the door opened showing his now messy hallway. i practically trashed his house. well i did trash his house.
i slipped down the stairs to see richie snuggled up on the couch with some popcorn. "let's watch mean girls.. or um.. maybe.. annie? something cute" i said, stepping in the living room. "mean girls it is" he said, patting the seat next to him, showing for me to sit. i lifted the light brown, thin and fuzzy blanket. i shoved my foot under, following with another. i sat on his leather couch, slightly chilly. i covered my chest in the blanket, feeling a pair of warm arms wrap around me. i trailed my hands to his chest and intertwined my body with his. i grabbed a handful of bland, fat popcorn.
the night was full of laughs, snuggles, and even some kisses. it was cute, and silly when richie got emotional at the end of the movie. even though the popcorn was quite shit, we finished several packets of it. at the end of the night though, after a couple movies, i set my head on his shoulder. as we played the song, "put your head on my shoulder"
we hummed.
"put your lips next to mine dear, won't you kiss me once, baby just a kiss goodnight, maybe, you and i will fall in love~" we song in unison.
we let usual cable play, random shows and movies came on until a movie i've never seen before, 'Marley and Me' came on.
it was about a dog, named marley. he lived with a family and to be honest, it was a sweet movie. the dog was mischievous, cute and innocent. but as the movie progressed, a the dog was getting older, and had to be put down. and no matter how much fun i was having that night, that send me over the edge. i had a complete meltdown, bawling in richie shoulder as he rubbed my hair. "sorry babe, let's change it" he said, grabbing the remote. "thanks babe" i said, grabbing his hand, rubbing invisible circles on it. "i love you with all my heart, kaspbrak " he said, placing a kiss on my forehead. "i love you too, trashmouth"
we fell asleep like that, in each others arms. finally, i felt okay. no mom, no worries.
