RICHIES POV

I ran with Bill to Eddies house at lunch. Stan, the goody two shoes that he is, stayed with Mike who was completely unaware that we ditched

Billy: D-do you think h-he'll be
o-okay?

Richie: I don't know. But he promised...he promised

We got to the house and I pounded on the door.

Richie: Eddie! Mrs.K!

Billy: Look, their cars gone

He pointed at the empty parking space

Richie: Shit...

We ran again, towards the hospital. I slammed my hand down on the receptionists desk

Richie: I need Eddie Kaspbraks room number

Nurse: I'm afraid I can't give that information out unless you're family. Are you?

Bill: N-no... But it's urgent!

She hummed

Nurse: I'll tell his mother that you're here. Take a seat please

I read her name tag

Richie: Thanks—Nancy—your an angel!

Bill and I sat down in the lobby chairs.

Billy: What if—

Richie: What if nothing. He'll be fine, he promised.

Not 10 minutes later Mrs.K came to the lobby and kneeled in front of us.

Richie: What happened?

Mrs.K: He collapsed last night. The tumor was preventing his lungs from expanding.

Bill: W-will he be okay?

Mrs.K: I don't know, but he goes into surgery tomorrow morning

Richie: Can we see him?

She nodded and we followed her to his room. It was dark and scary, Eddie wouldn't like that. She let us in and left us alone with him

He sat up fast and took off his oxygen masks

Richie: Eddie!

We ran up to him and gave him light hugs.

Eddie: What are you doing here?

Richie: You didn't show up this morning...

Eddie: I'm sorry... I shouldn't of made a promise I couldn't keep

Richie: I don't care about that, I care that you're okay.

Bill: Y-Yeah, don't worry
a-about th-that

He gave us a half smile, then his face turned dark

Eddie: My surgery is tomorrow...

Then it dawned on me. This might be the last time i might see Eddie. It must of hit Bill too because he was crying

Richie: Oh no...I-I—

Eddie: If i don't make it, I love you guys... I don't want you to remember me like this, so please don't be sad...

I started to cry seeing the tears roll down his cheek. I grabbed his hand and held it tight.

Richie: I'll stay with you! I'll spend the night here and I'll wait for you to come out of surgery!

Eddie: Richie, I don't want you to get hurt...

Bill: No, I w-will too. Your
m-my best f-friend Eddie.
