RICHIE'S POV

"Haha, I took a shot off his bahhhhhhdyyy, Richiiiie"

"I know, you told me, Eds" I smiled painfully. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm fiiiiiiiine, Riiiiichie. Will took me home, now I sleepyyy" Eddie slurred.

I nearly crushed the phone in my hand at the mention of his name. I hated him for taking my baby, but at the same time, I knew that I had no right to be jealous.

Not only is Eddie his own man, but I hurt him. He left me. I have no right to be angry. But it still doesn't change the fact that it fucking hurts to see Eddie hold someone else's hand...kiss someone else's lips...hold someone else...

Don't cry...don't cry...don't cry...

"Richie? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" I sniffled. "Just...get some sleep, okay? Stay safe, I lo-"

I sighed and wiped my eyes.

"Just get some sleep, okay, Eddie?"

"Sure, Rich...Goodnight" he said groggily, and hung up.

It's been almost a year, and he still calls me whenever he's drunk. Almost a year since he left me and he still calls me by his nickname for me. Almost a year...and I can still feel how it felt to get to call him mine.

Thankfully, we managed to keep our friendship intact. But he moved on.

Eddie moved on, I never did. Who the hell could hold a candle to Eddie Kaspbrak? Nobody. Nobody could compare to the incredible, stunning, beautiful, brilliant Eddie Kaspbrak.

EDDIE'S POV

I hung up my phone and all but threw it onto my nightstand. I wasn't that drunk...I just wanted to hear his voice. I know I left him. I know I'm with someone else.

But I needed to hear his soothing voice before I went to sleep. It's the only thing that makes me feel secure, and helps me to sleep.

"Eddie? Are you okay?" Will asked as he stepped shirtless into the room.

He was wearing nothing but boxers clinging to his waist, and he took a few cautious steps toward me.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I lied.

My tongue a razor, I cut my mouth as I bled lies right through my teeth as I looked him in the eye. Will must've caught onto the bleeding, but he smiled comfortingly anyway.

"Okay, then let's get to bed, okay? You had a bit to drink"

"I'm fine" I waved him off.
