Eddies Saturday consisted of pacing around his room, thinking of Richie, and feeling the sheets where his crush had laid the night before. How could he have such an attachment to Trash Mouth when he had been oblivious to his existence since the beginning of the year? Could Richie possibly feel the same way about him? Did last night mean as much to Richie as it did to him?

He felt the room starting to spin, with all these thoughts floating around in his head. With nothing left to do, he decided on calling Richie. The best way to work through it is to talk through it, right? Just as he opened his bedroom door, Sonia was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for him.

"There's a boy on the phone for you Eddie Bear, I think he said his name was Reuben?"

Eddie, not knowing any Reuben in his classes, let alone the entire grade, reluctantly made his way down the stairs and took the phone, pressing it against his ear.

"Hello?" Eddie said, his voice raising with questioning.

"Ed's, it's me, Richie. Is there anyway you can sneak out tonight?" Richie's soothing voice came through the speaker of the phone and into Eddies ear, calming him right away.

"Oh, hey Reuben from Social Studies. I totally forgot about the project due Tuesday. Let me ask my mom if I can spend the night so we can work on our project." Eddie states clearly, looking to his mom for an answer.

"Fine." Sonia says, gritting her teeth in obvious disapproval.

"My mom said I could, I'll be over in fifteen minutes."

"See you soon Eddie Spaghetti." Richie said, sounding as if he had the biggest smile in the world on.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, Richie is pacing around his room, rubbing his hands up and down on his thighs, and running his hands through his hair. He's already cleaned his room up for Eddies arrival, knowing the small germaphobe would be uncomfortable anyways, he tried making his sleep over as pleasant as possible.
He looks out the window as Eddie pulls up on his bike, pushing it against the house.
Richie opens his window and yells down below.

"Geez Eds, what'd you do? Get all dolled up so you could come over?" Richie says sarcastically. And that's when Eddie looked up, blood running down his cheek bone, and bruises already forming on his face.

A/N: sorry this was kinda short, but I promise another chapter tonight, maybe even two :)
