Richie

Richie: You know what? Fine! I'll go!

Eddie: I should of known you'd leave! Just like everyone else!

I stormed to the door, looking behind me to see him pouting on his bed

Riche: I don't need you

I slammed the door behind me and ran out of the house. Too angry to even think about what I said or what we were fighting about in the first place.

My mom was gone when I got home. But my dad, sadly, was not. I slammed the door and he stood up fast to face me

Wentworth: What the fuck did I tell you about getting some god damn respect?!

I threw a middle finger in the air

Richie: I don't give a fuck!!

He furrowed his eyebrows and I regretted everything. I tried to to run upstairs but he caught me too fast. He threw me to the ground, making me hit my head on the wall.

Wentworth: It's been too long you little shit! Too long since your last lesson!

Richie: Dad please—

Before I could finish he hovered over me and punched me in the eye, causing it to instantly swell. I couldn't see anything but red. Everything was red.

He stood up and kicked my side one last time before shouting and then driving away.

I leaned up against the wall and shakily touched my eye. I looked down at my fingers and they were covered in blood. I felt blood trail down my cheek and I tried to wipe it away but just ended up smearing it. It hasn't been like this in a while, I forgot how hard he hits.

I looked up at the ceiling to prevent myself from crying but it didn't help. It stung my wounded right eye but the left one was just pouring tears.

I heard nothing in the quiet home but the ceiling fan and my faint sobs. I pulled my phone out and held it to my ear:

Eddie: Hello?

Richie: I need you... I fucking need you...

Eddie: I'm coming

Eddie

I'd never ran so fast. I'd heard his voice like that only once before, and that was when he told me about his depression. He was hurt.

I got there and there were no lights on. I knocked but didn't get an answer so I just walked into the dark room. I felt for the light switch and turned on the faded lights.

Eddie: Rich...?

I looked to my right and he was sitting on the ground against the wall. I ran over to him and tilted his chin up to look at me. His eyes slowly opened, letting a few stray tears fall. His eye was completely shut and blood was smeared all around it

Eddie: What happened?!

He chuckled

Richie: Nothing Ed's... Don't worry

Eddie: Well it's too fucking late for that trash mouth! Now tell me what the fuck happened!

Richie: Jesus Ed's I've never heard you use such language
