Triple Threat

A Change of Heart

*Eddies POV*
@trash.mouthtozier has liked your post.

I don't know why but that notification stood out among the rest. Rory was still at my house. We're watching Heathers, my favourite movie.

'Hey babe? Are you okay?'
'What? Oh yeah I'm fine Rory.'
'You've been staring at your phone the whole time. Are you sure your okay?'
'I'm just reading messages from my friends.'
'Ex-friends. You told me what happened. You should drop them. If they can't respect your decisions they can't respect you.'

I can't believe Rory wanted me to drop the Losers. I mean who do I have besides them and Rory?

'But I have no other friends baby. Who am I supposed to hang out with?'
'Well me and my friends of course silly!'
'Oh yeah. I-I guess.'

I blocked the Losers on all social media. I did keep their contacts but I left the group chat. It didn't feel right.

*The next day*

I woke up at 10:26. I groaned. I had the biggest headache ever. Rory already left. She left after we finished Heathers last night. I grabbed my phone and went to text the group chat. I then remembered I left it. I groaned again and went downstairs for breakfast.

'Good morning Eddie Bear!'
'Good morning momma.'

I quickly ate my breakfast and locked myself in my room. I didn't leave all day.

*Stans POV*
It was 11:42 and Eddie still hadn't texted the group chat. I was starting to get worried. Sure we had our fights from time to time but we never went this long without speaking. It didn't feel right.

The Losers😎🖕🏻

Have any of you heard from Eddie?

Bev
No. I'm really worried about him.

Billy
Me too. Do you think we should check on him?

Mike
Yeah. It's not like Eddie to ignore us for this long.

Ben
Guys scroll up. He left the chat.

Omg he did. But why?

Bev
I bet you Rory made him

Mike
Probably. She's a snake anyways

I'll go to his house.
I'll text when I get some answers.

Billy
Okay.

I closed the chat and went downstairs. I told my mom I was heading to Eddies house and slipped out the door.

As I walked towards his house I put headphones on and turned music on. Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park played through my ears.

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know

I got lost in the lyrics as I approached the small house. I got to Eddies door as the song ended. I put my headphones around my neck and knocked.

'Oh hi, Stanley, dear.'
'Hi Mrs. K! Is Eddie here?'
'Yes. He seemed rather odd at breakfast though.'
'Oh. Could I see him?'
'Of course dear.'
