•Eddie Kaspbrak has been protected from everything. He knows basically nothing but still always has a smile on his face...
But he's lonely... who wouldn't be if they were locked up in a house f...
I felt the bed shake next to me. Then a soft whimper.
My eyes shot open and I sat up. I looked down at Eddie who was shaking and crying in his sleep. I gently shook him
Richie: Ed's, wake up
His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at me. He took in sharp breaths and he continued to cry
Richie: whats wrong?! Do you need your inhaler?!
I wiped the tears from his cheek and then leaned over him to find his inhaler in the bedside drawer.
Eddie: no... just a sad dream
I sighed and looked back down at him. I brushed his hair out of his face. He rubbed the tears from his swollen eyes
Richie: what about baby?
Eddie: you were just... gone...
Richie: eds...I—
Eddie: —just hold me
I laid back down and he snuggled into my chest as I folded my arms around his waist. I waited for his heavy breaths to signify that he was sleeping but they never came. All I could feel was his hot tears staining the front of my shirt, and my heart shatter
He dreamt that I was gone. He's gonna feel like this all the time because of me. I don't want to leave him but everything is already decided.
I love him, I really do, and I've never loved anyone before.
And after all the work it took for us to finally be happy together, I'm leaving.
