EDDIES POV

Richie and I walked to school together. Hand in hand, ready to tell our friends that we're together.

Eddie: I'm glad we can tell them

Richie: Ya, But I don't think it'll be a surprise to them

Eddie: Maybe...

It was early and cold. Barely anyone was out except a few birds. We had to walk through town to get to school, and I was practically a ghost town at this time. We turned down an alleyway and I felt Richies grip tighten. I looked up to see Henry Bowers and his goons hanging out by Belched car.

Henry: What have we got here? A couple of fags I think...

Richie tried to back away but I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Patrick giving me a creepy grin. Henry had already made his way towards us and I felt Richies grip get tighter.

Richie: Just fuck off Bowers

Henry: Ooo someone's got a mouth today. Wanna run that by me again?

Richie: Yeah. I said, Fuck. Off. Bowers.

In an instant Henry pushed Richie into a brick wall and Victor and Patrick held him back. I stood in fear, hyperventilating and shaking. Henry came up to me and his face was only a few inches from mine

Henry: Your faggot boyfriend is going to get you into a lot of trouble girly boy.

He grabbed me by my collar and before I could say anything he punched my face, leaving a ring around my eye and blood trailing from a cut on my cheek. I fell back on my bum and held my eye

RICHIES POV

I struggled to get out of Victors grip. I watched as Henry got in eddies face and said something to him that I couldn't hear.

Then in an instant Henry punched Eddie to the ground and I felt this burning in my chest. I ripped away from Victor and tackled Henry to the ground. I punched him in the jaw

Richie: DONT EVER TOUCH HIM!

I kept punching him as he tried to push me off. His lip was bleeding, and so was his nose. My knuckles hurt but I couldn't stop

Finally Patrick pulled me off and threw me. Victor and Belch helped Henry up and they ran off to his car. Before driving off Henry yelled out his window

Henry: IF I EVER SEE YOU FAGS AGAIN IM GONNA KILL YOU!

He drove off and I crawled over to Eddie, who was still holding his eye. I laid a hand on his back and he flinched at my touch. He was shaking

Eddie: T-that was scary... Y-you were scary...

I gave him a shy smile and grabbed his hand

Richie: I had to be Eddie... otherwise he would of hurt you

He closed his eyes and took a breath. He pulled out his inhaler, taking a few puffs.

Eddie: Thank you...

He pulled his hand off his eye and blood dripped from the cut on his cheek bone. His eye had a ring of black and a purple green tint.

Richie: Come, we need to clean your eye

***

We went to my house and ditched school. My parents were gone and we went up to the bathroom.

I lifted him up onto the sink and got a wet wash cloth. I wiped off the now dry blood, and around the bruise. He turned around and looked into the mirror

Eddie: Fuck my mom is gonna freak!

I turned his face back to me

Richie: Don't worry right now. It'll be just fine

He smiled and took my hand. He looked down at my raw knuckles

Eddie: Why'd you do this to yourself?

Richie: Because I'm a lovesick boy

He smiled and pulled out an alcohol pad and gauze from his fanny pack. He cleaned off the blood and wrapped my knuckles.

Eddie: There, now it won't get dirty

Richie: Thanks Ed's

I kissed his forehead and he leaned his face against my chest
