Broken Homes, Healing Hearts

Y/N's POV

I can't believe Richie would do this to me. I trusted him. He made me feel special. Richie was the one person that made me feel happy. My vision was blurry but I didn't stop running. I finally stopped in a beautiful park. I dropped to my knees and sobbed into my hands. I heard footsteps coming near me. I looked up and saw a worried Eddie standing above me. "Y/N what happened?!" He kneed down next to me and put his hand on my back. "R-Richie..." I started crying again. I couldn't get a word out. I was too hurt to say anything. Eddie looked at me. "What did that asshole do to you?!" He started to get angry. Why is he getting so angry? I shook it off, "He cheated on me.." I said. I broke down in tears again. "Hey it's okay." He pulled me into a hug. I let out all my tears into Eddie's shoulder.  "What the hell?" I heard a voice say. I looked up and saw Richie standing there. It was obvious he was crying but why? He's the one who cheated on me. Eddie stood up and walked right up to Richie. "You are such an asshole!" He screamed. Richie looked confused. "What the hell is your problem?!" "You! You're the problem!" Eddie fired back. I stood up slowly. "Hey!" I screamed at both of them. They looked at me. "Stop it! Richie he wasn't doing anything. He was just comforting me because I'm hurt." I started to cry again. "Y/N it's not what it looked like. She kissed me but I didn't kiss back." He said starting to come closer. I stepped back. "Oh yeah? Well it sure didn't look like it." I replied a little too harshly. I turned around and started to walk off. "Y/N! Wait!" Richie ran and grabbed my arm. I turned towards him. He was crying. "Please.. I would never hurt you." He looked down then back into my eyes. "I-I I love you Y/N" I stood there. My mouth was opened but no words are coming out. He looked at me for a while then started to lean in. Eventually he broke the space between us. I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. I broke the kiss and our foreheads were together. "I love you too." I said softly. He smiled and kissed me again. "So, um I'm gonna take off." Eddie spoke up awkwardly. I laughed and walked towards him. "Thank you Eds. Thanks for being there for me." I hugged him. I kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and walked off. Richie walked up to me and hugged me. We stood there hugging for a while. "Lets go home." He said taking my hand. "Home." I smiled and we walked together.

Richie's POV

We were almost home. We decided to go around the block cause it was nice out. It was about 7:30pm and it was already dark out. I kept cracking jokes and Y/N was dying of laughter. We talked and talked. We were a few houses down when a car stopped right next to us. Four boys hopped out of the car. It was Henry Bowers. "Well, well, well, look what we have here. Two litle lovebirds out here all alone." Henry said pulling out his switchblade. I pulled Y/N behind me. "Go away Bowers!" I yelled. "Why would we leave? We are about to have some fun." He smirked while his buddies snickered. Henry shook his head at his goons and they grabbed me. "No! Let me go!" I was trying to kick free. Henry grabbed Y/N. "Henry let her go! Don't touch her!" I screamed. I can't let her get hurt. Especially by Bowers. "Wow trashmouth... you got one pretty girlfriend." He said licking his lips. He grazed her cheek with his switchblade. Y/N whimpered as the blade touched her. "Get your hands off her!" I kicked the boy holding me in the knee. I grabbed a glass bottle and smashed it on top of the other two. Before Henry could touch Y/N again I kicked the blade out of his hand. It fell into a pile of leaves. "No! That's my dad's blade!" Henry whined looking for it. "Run!" I yelled and Y/N and I bolted towards my house. We got in and locked the door. Y/N fell into my arms crying. "Shh, it's okay." I held her. "You are okay." I whispered. Y/N's crying quieted down. "Thank you Richie." She smiled. I smiled back. "I'm gonna go shower." Y/N said. "Okay." I replied. She went to the bathroom and I went to my room. I got ready for bed. I'm glad she didn't get hurt. I don't know what I would've done if she did. I dozed off into a deep sleep. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
