chapter ten
he was so warm.
his cheek was pressed against something hard. he could hear a beat but couldn't figure out what it could of been. he flexed his fingers to feel more fingers around his. he opened his eyes and saw band posters and smelt cigarettes.
it was like it hit him. no, ran him over. he remembered everything from last night. some things were blurry but he very well remembered himself coming on to richie and then being rejected and carried away. he remembered trying to kiss richie and richie dodging it. he felt his eyes well up with tears. he sat up a bit to look down at richies sleeping face. it hit him right in the chest.
richie didn't want him.
his breath hitched and slightly moved, resulting in falling off the bed on his ass and making richie tozier shoot up.
"are you—"
"i'm sorry!" eddie began looking around for his phone and finding it next to richies glasses. he grabbed it quickly and slid on his tennis shoes from last night. he saw his costume abandoned on the floor. he felt the tears roll down his cheeks.
"wait what's wrong?" richie asked as he grabbed around for his glasses. he finally got them on and looked to see eddie struggling with his left shoe and crying. he stood up and was about to reach out for eddie but eddie bolted out the door. he ran down the hall and saw bill brushing his teeth by the kitchen counter.
"car keys!" eddie said frantically holding out his hands. bill gave him a worried look and spit his toothpaste out. he pointed to the counter and eddie grabbed the keys.
"w-wait what's-" he was cut off by the door slamming behind eddie.
"wait eds!" richie ran around the corner almost slipping but catching himself. he looked at bill who was glaring at him and wiping toothpaste off his mouth.
"what d-did you do?" bill asked with a frown
"nothing! he just got up and-" he couldn't even finish he was so confused. what did he do?
-
eddie punched the steering wheel, "damn it!" he sniffled back tears as he drove to the dorm. he looks down and sees that he's wearing one of richies shirts and shorts. it was like a big pity party.
richie was a good person and would over look eddie hopping on him. but eddie couldn't handle the humiliation. he wouldn't be able to face him ever again.
he looked up as his light turned green. he pressed the gas and was in the center of the free way when a car rammed into his passenger door. his head hit the window and everything went dark.
—
"where is he?" stan asked with a yawn. bill was still upset that eddie was upset. he avoided looking at richie.
"i don't know! i don't know what i did wrong!" he ran his fingers through his curls and leaned against the kitchen island.
"he didn't say anything?" stan asked. it was weird for eddie to just up and go without even saying bye. he seemed fine last night.
"i should go find him. he's probably at his dorm" richie began slipping on a jacket and searching for his car keys.
"m-maybe he doesn't want to see you." bill crossed his arms and richie looked at him questioningly.
"i have to try." richie shrugged.
"i'll come with then" stan said and slipped his vans on. he wanted to make sure eddie was okay just as much as richie did. bill came along too and they all got into richie corolla.
