Eddie's POV:

Time: Christmas night

"Can't you just sleepover again?" Richie begs. "Then again tomorrow night for my New Year's party." 

"I would but Stef is already outside waiting." 

He sighs then hugs me tightly.

"You're still coming to my New Year's party though, right?" 

"Yea of course." I say hugging him back.

We separate and walk towards the front door hand-in-hand but we stop at the door. 

"I wish you could live with me again." he says turning to me he leans in for a kiss but I put hand in front of his mouth.

"When did you last brush your teeth?" 

He chuckles then gently kisses me on my forehead, cheek, and nose. He opens the door for me and I walk out he squeezes my butt cheek. I slap his hand and run to the car laughing. 

"Bye Ed's." I hear him yelling from his front door. 

I open the car door and hop in still laughing. I look around the car and see Stef and Noah in the front.

"Hey guys." I say putting on my seat belt. 

"Hey Eddie baby." Stef says while backing the car up. "How was your little Christmas sleepover?"

"It was good." I say smiling just thinking back on it. 

"Did you and Richie fuck?" Noah asks causally.

"Noah!" Stef says scolding him. 

"Oh sorry. Did you and Richie have sex?" 

Stef shakes her head while sighing.

"No." I say answering his question. "His mom made us sleep in different beds."

I don't mention that I ended up sleeping with him but only because I didn't want Stef to get suspicious. 

"Ughh... Did he at least give you tongue?"

"Well we missed you." Stef says changing the subject.

"Yea... I missed you guys too. Did you have fun at New York Noah?" I ask.

He stays quiet then Stef answers,

"He missed you."

"Awwwwwww." I say putting my hand his shoulder from behind. "Did you cry?"

"Shut up." he says giggling. 

Stef parks in the driveway and I open the door to get out but Stef stops me saying,

"Eddie, could you wait a second... I want to talk to you alone." 

"Oh okay." I say closing the car door. 

She waits for Noah to leave then she turns around in her seat to face me. 

"So me and Lena were thinking... it would be good for you to see a therapist. You know just to talk about everything that has happened to you with your family."

"Ummm... yea. I don't know. I mean can I think about it?" 

"I mean you could. But we really, really, really, really, really, think you should at least go to one appointment. You know just to see how it goes."

"Yea." I say softly. "Can I sleep on it though?" 

"Yeah of course Eddie baby." 

"So I could go now?" 

She nods and I open the car door I go inside. I get ready for bed and lay on my bed calling Richie. I put it on speaker and lay back in my bed. It rings, and rings, and rings, and rings, and rings until his voicemail thing comes up. I hang the phone up and pull the blanket over me. He probably fell asleep, I'll just call him in the morning. I start to get cozy in my bed then Noah barges in yelling, 

"Eddie get over here, Millie and Sadie are live on Instagram." he says with headphones in his ears.

"Just screen record it. I'll see it in the morning." 

"Ughh fine." he says walking out.

"Ohh wait!" I yell hoping he hears me and turns back. 

"Yeah." he says popping his head through the door but still staring at his screen. 

"I really missed you too." I say smiling. 

He looks up from his phone and comes up to my bed and hugs me. I feel him pick up his arm and head to look at his phone and I slap his arm. 

"Go watch Millie's stream now." I say pushing him away. "And turn off the light!"

"Goodnight!" he yells.

"Goodnight." I whisper back.
