Eddie was sitting at his desk in his room with a knife. His mom was out for a few days and he had the place to himself. Eddie was depressed btw. His mom hits him sometimes just because he's gay. Eddie hated her so much. His solution to actually make him happy is cutting his wrists and... Richie. Eddie loved Richie. Little did Eddie know that Richie loved him back.

Richie was sitting in his room listening to his parents fight downstairs. He hates his life. He would just kill himself but he knew Eddie would be really sad if Richie died. Richie was about to leave to go to Eddie's house until he heard his mom scream, "RICHIE DOESN'T LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU DRINK AND HIT HIM!! SURE I DRINK TOO BUT I SUPPORT HIM FOR BEING BI!!" Richie didn't want to hear anything else so he climbed or his window carefully then landed on the ground. He ran, barefoot, all the way to Eddie's house.

Eddie sighed and started cutting his wrists. Sure it hurt but it hurt more living in this cruel world. Eddie was in the middle of cutting his left what when he heard a soft, "tink tink tink." He thought he was imaging it bit then he heard a knock at the window. He hid his knife, rolled down his sleeve and walked over to the window. To his surprise, Richie was at the bottom of Eddie's window. Eddie opened it and happily let Richie in. Richie sat on Eddie's bed.  "What are you doing here?" Eddie smiled at his friend before siting on the bed next to Richie. "Eh parents were fighting and I wanted to see you..." Richie explained. Eddie smiled wider.

About half an hour passed and Richie thought it was a good time to ask something. "Hey uh, Eds?" Richie looked at Eddie. "Yea Chee?" Eddie replied. "I saw you had a knife before I came in.. Why did you have it..?" Richie asked. Eddie froze, Richie saw that...? "I....uhh...." Eddie didn't want to lie but he didn't wanna tell the truth. He sighs, "Depression.." Richie looks at his best friend and hugs him. Eddie hugs back and says, "I've been cutting myself because my mom h-hits me because I'm gay.. I'm also trying to get over my crush on--" what am I saying?! Eddie thought. "You're crush on who..?" Richie pulled away from the hug and looked at Eddie in the eyes. "Y-You.." Eddie choked out. Richie pressed their lips together for a second then pulled away. "Why are you trying to get over your crush on me..?" Richie asked. "I-I thought you liked girls.." Eddie mumbled loud enough to be heard. "I do.. I like girls and boys," Richie chuckled. Eddie grew tears in his eyes as he hugged Richie tight. "I love you Chee" Eddie said. "I love you too Eds!" Richie replied.

A hour later.

The two boys were laughing and joking until they heard a slam. "Fuck my mom is home.." Eddie huffed under his breath.

Should I make a part two?
