Eddie
The plane ride home was long.
One minute I wake up in a hospital, the next I'm on the plane to Derry with a cast and crutches
Will: how are you feeling?
Eddie: Fine.
Will: you sure?
He handed me a juice box and sat next to me
Eddie: I should of been out there with you guys
Will: but we still won—
Eddie: I don't care. I wanted to be there. Not at a hospital with my leg bone poking out of my calve
I turned away as the tears started to form. I felt Will's small hand grab my own. He planted a small kiss on my knuckle
Will: it'll be okay.
Eddie: Are you sure about that? They said I might not be able to play ever again
Will: "might". There's still a chance
I pulled my hand away and looked out the plane window.
I just wanted to be home with chee

When we got off the plane tons of people from school were at the airport with posters. Some for me and some for the team. Everyone was excited that we won nationals, even me. Even though I didn't get to see them win
Richie: Eddie!!
Richie ran up to me and I balanced myself on my crutches
Richie: Holy shit your leg!
It was a white cast with two metal bars around it to keep it straight.
Eddie: I know...
I looked at the floor and he embraced me in a gentle hug
Richie: what's wrong?
I looked up at him with misty eyes. My voice was shaky and my legs wanted to give out
Eddie: I might not be able to play... ever again...
Richie: oh... I'm sorry sweetheart
He hugged me again and I sniffled against his chest. I wanted to hug him back but Id fall if I did. Bill and Stan came up behind us and gave me a bouquet flower
Bill: We're p-proud of you
E-Eddie
Stan: Yeah, we won because of you!
I smiled and wiped away the left over tears
Eddie: Thanks guys
We began walking out of the airport but I was very slow and not use to the crutches
Richie: let me carry you
He put one of my arms around his shoulders and Stan took my crutches. Richie bent down to scoop me up in his arms. One hand around my back and the other under my thigh. I giggled and held on to his shoulder, placing a kiss on his cheek
Richie: Aw, your so light!
Eddie: beep beep chee. Let's go home, I'm starving
