—Eddie—

Eddie: bubba...
mike and I kissed

His smile flattened and I could see his adams apple bob up and down as he swallowed.

Richie: what.

Eddie: last night, at the pool he kissed me and I didn't want to I swear—

Richie: did you kiss back.

Eddie: I didn't want to! It just...happened...

He looked at me for a while, never breaking eye contact.

Eddie: I didn't want it. I want you...

He stood up and walked to the door. He turned back to say one thing,

Richie: I need a minute

He walked out and the tears threatened to spill. My breathing became unsteady and my heart was shaking. I turned to Stan and Bill who were already coming towards me.

Stan wrapped me in a hug and I rested my head against his chest, weeping in his arms.

Eddie: he hates me! I told you!

Bill: he j-just needs a minute. You m-made it clear th-that you want h-him.

Stan: he'll come back. We know he's in love with you.

I nodded and sat up to wipe my tears away

Eddie: and what if he doesn't?

Stan: he will.

—Richie—

I dragged my feet against the pavement as I walked.
Walked where? I don't know.

All I could think about was that fucker kissing my boyfriend.

Not just my boyfriend. The boy that I hold everyday. The boy that I can't stand to be without.

The boy that I'm in love with.

Ugh, and now I'm crying. Fucking crying!

I watched the tears fall onto the pavement, leaving a trail behind me as I walked. I kept my head low until I stopped in front of a building.

Derrys 50's diner.

I walked in, making the doors bell go off. I sat in a booth, holding my head up with my hands.

I couldn't stop crying. He cheated on me. After crying to me about how much it hurt when mike cheated on him.

Fucking hypocrite.

I heard the leather seat in front of me move. I looked up to see a boy in front of me. He was dainty, small, and had soulful brown eyes.

Will: hi

I wiped my tears and leaned back in the booth, shoving my hands in my hoodie pocket.

Richie: hi

Will: I didn't mean to disturb you... you just looked... sad?

Richie: it's nothing sweetheart, don't worry about it

sweetheart?

Will: you go to my school, right? Derry high?

I nodded and he smiled

Will: you can talk to me. even if you don't know me, maybe venting to me could help?

I searched his eyes for a moment, looking for any sign of hate. But there wasn't any, just worry.

Richie: what's your name cutie?

cutie?

Will: I'm Will Byers. I believe your name is Richie?

Richie: that's right sweetie. But I'd rather not talk. Milkshakes?

The waitress came over and he nodded shyly.

Richie: I'll have a chocolate milkshake and...

I looked at him and smirked

Richie: You look like a strawberry kind of guy?

Will: yeah, how'd you know?

The waitress wrote down the order and left. I faced Will again, leaning over the table a bit.

Richie: you remind me of somebody I use to know.

Will: they liked strawberry?

Richie: Yeah... but it suits you better. Something as sweet as you.

Will blushed and smiled at the table.

Will: thanks... are you seeing anyone?

Richie: nope.

He bit his lip at my answer and leaned over the table.

Will: that's hard to believe, someone like you is single?

Richie: believe it baby...

And just like that, I was in the alley way behind the diner, pushing Will against a brick wall and biting at his red lips. He hands traveled my body and mine stayed on his thin frame.

But as I kissed those plush lips, I could only think of one person.

And it wasn't the boy my lips were attached to.
