Stay

Eddie sat in silence the entire car ride home, while Sonia drove violently. The losers went in the ambulance with Richie, while Eddie was trying to think of a way to get to the hospital without Sonia knowing. He realized he left the ancient yellow truck in the sand, and started silently freaking out. Sonia didn't care though, she kept driving home violently. Eddie was silently panicking, trying not to make it obvious, but of course it was obvious. Eddie needed Richie, Richie needed Eddie. When Richie was awake, he was violently trying to rip off his blanket, because he saw Eddie was cold and thought Eddie needed it more than him, but Eddie stopped him. Eddie was thinking about that on the way to his hell hole of a house, still panicking. Sonia pulled into the driveway, and Eddie sat in the car for a couple seconds, trying to collect himself. He made a plan in his head to sneak out and go to the hospital, it was gonna be hard, but he was going to do it. Anything for Richie.

Sonia went to her room for the night, and Eddie pretended he was going to sleep. When he knew his mom was asleep, he went to the home phone, and quietly typed in Bill's pager number. (Bill has a pager phone lol) Bill answered sleepily, "Hello?" "Bill, can you come pick me up?" "Eddie..-" "Please, Bill." Eddie begged. He heard a sigh on the other end, "I'll be there in 10 minutes." "Okay, thank you so much." Eddie quietly freaked out and grabbed Richie's hoodie off his bed, and slowly tiptoed past Sonia's room, trying to make zero noise. It was dark, and he accidentally ran into a pot, but caught it before it fell. It was July 3rd, and fireworks were going off everywhere. He wished he could watch the fireworks with Richie and the losers, but he knew that wouldn't happen. He quietly opened the creaky door, and stepped outside. He saw the neighbors lighting off fireworks in their front yard, he sat on the front porch step, waiting to see Bill's car.

5 minutes later, Bill pulled up to Eddie's house, and Eddie ran to get into the car. He sat down and said to Bill, "Thank you for picking me up. Seriously." "Ye-Ye-Yeah, no problem, I know how much Ri-Richie wants to s-s-see you right now." "Richie wants to see me?" "Yeah, he's ah-ah-awake, he's been asking for you for the pa-pa-past hour." Eddie smiled and stroked the sweatshirt with his thumb. He felt happy, for once. "I h-h-hope you know he's not ma-ma-mad at you." Bill said, breaking the silence. Eddie's voice was shaky with excitement, "Really? I thought he would be pissed." Bill smiled, "Actually, he's really ha-ha-happy. I told him I was l-l-leaving to get you, and he was re-re-really excited." That made Eddie extremely happy, he couldn't wait to go to the hospital, for once in his life.
