Eddie's Prov.

As I walked to my house. I got a text. Looking down at it, I saw it was Richie. As I opened the message I rolled my eyes.

Richie💓: Eddie?

I looked at it and left him on read. He then texted again.

Richie💓: Please answer me. I'm sorry. I love you. I was depressed that I thought you died and I wanted to heal and yeah. I fucked her. But it doesn't mean anything. I swear.

I only read until Please answer me and I stopped and just texted.

Me: what do you want?
Richie💓: I want you to come back. And I want to explain myself. I'm sorry.
Me: How could you? That hurts me.
Richie💓: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. If you want to. Meet me at my house at 7.

I sighed and looked at the clock, it was 6:10. I got inside and went to my room. Then sitting on my bed, I remembered our night we had. Then I thought about him telling me that he also fucked El. I think I should forgive him. Then I think I shouldn't forgive him. I'm making my final decision. I'm going to forgive him. I love him. I always have. And I always will. I got my phone and walked to Richie's house. I saw El and him outside. I decided to watch what was going to happen. He said something and she back-handed him across the face. I started to get angry and sprinted over there, "LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND ALONE YOU BITCH!!" I yelled as I tackled her to the ground. Richie's eyes widened as he pulled me away. "What the fuck?!" She yelled. She got up, grabbed her stuff, and left. I turned around and Richie was smiling. "I forgive you" I said, kissing him. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I missed this so much.

As I called El and told her to come over, I looked at my clock and read "6:45". I sat at my porch, waiting for her to walk over. It was less than a mile away. I looked at my phone, going into my messages with Eddie. He saw my text. But never responded. "Richie boo!" El yelled as she ran up to me and hugged me. "El we have to talk." Sitting her down on my porch I said. "Yeah?" She asked. "I-I'm sorry but. I'm breaking up with you." I said while stuttering."What?" She asked while starting to hold back a sob. "I have feelings for someone else." I said looking down. I looked up and she back-handed me across the face. I deserve that. "You are an Idiot, Richie Tozier!" "Look, I'm sorry. But it's a long story." I said, gritting my teeth. "What is the "long story" then? Come on, tell me it. I've got all day. And all night." She said, tilting my chin up to kiss me. I looked to my right and saw that someone started running at us. As they got closer, they yelled, "LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND ALONE YOU BITCH!!" He yelled, then tackling her, making her bang her head. Taking him off of her, I picked him up and hugged him. "What the fuck?!" She yelled. She got up, got her things, and then left. I looked at Eddie and he looked proud of himself. He then turned around and smiled, "I forgive you" he said, kissing me. He then stopped and sat me down. "Richie." He said. "Yeah?" Asking him. "The clown. It's my mom!" He exclaimed, starting to tear up. I froze, shocked, as I imagined IT being Eddie's mother all along. That's why she took him. That's why she didn't kill him.

"She made herself look like you, Richie." I said while looking at him, staring to cry. He frowned and wiped my tears. "What did I say?" He asked me. Holding my chin up. "You said you didn't love me, and that you only did it to make me happy." I said crying this time, for real. He grabbed my hand, brought it up to his lips, and kissed it. "Well that's not true. I love you for being who you are." He said putting his arm around my waist. "I know." I said, leaning into him. "Guess what I heard today?" He said while laughing. "What?" I asked, sitting up to face him. "I saw Bill and Stanley making out, and then I watched as they walked into the bathroom. The one with no stalls, it's only one bathroom. And I put my ear to the door and I heard Stan moan Bill's name!" He said laughing. My mouth dropped open. "Really?!" I asked while grinning. "Yeah! I'm not lying to you!" He exclaimed. I covered my mouth for a second. "Finally!" I laughed as I uncovered my mouth. He nodded, giggling. "Richie." I said making a serious face. "Yeah?" He asked, frowning a little. "I love you." I smiled, kissing him on the cheek. He then wiped his tears as he took off his glasses. "What? Are you okay Rich?" I asked him, worried, as I leaned him closer to me. "For a second I thought you were going to say that you don't actually forgive me. And that you didn't love me." He said, sniffling. "Oh. Don't worry bubba." I said, hugging him. "Okay." He paused and smiled. "Eddie Spaghetti." He said while giggling. "Oh my god Richie! Don't call me that!" I yelled as I got up and pretended to walk away. "Sorry Eddie Spaghetti, I won't say it again." He said as he got up and hugged me from behind, tightly. He rocked me as we hugged. I felt safe again. Safe with my Rich, us against the world..... and.. well.... my mom too.
