"Edward Kaspbrak! What the devil is going on here?!!!" Sonia Kaspbrak shrieked, looking from Richie to Eddie, both faces guilty. "I'm sorry Mrs. K. My parents are leaving to go on a trip, and Eddie said I could stay here. He knows I hate being in the house alone," Richie blurted.
"I've got a few things to say to you anyway, Eddie! What do you mean by staying outside past curfew?! You could give your mother a heart attack from worrying so much!!!!" Sonia yelled. "I'm sorry Mommy. It won't happen again," Eddie said meekly, staring at the floor. "It better not! Richie can stay in the guest bedroom."
Sonia stomped out of the room while Richie seethed with rage. God, how he hated that woman!!!! "Sorry, Eds. I never meant to get you in trouble," Richie murmured softly. "It's okay, Chee," Eddie said sleepily. "Edddddiiiiieeee!!!!! Don't fall asleep and leave me with that bitchy hypochondriac you call a mother!" Richie groaned.
Laughing slightly, Eddie slid off the bed and bent over to pick up his fanny pack.(He doesn't know they're "Gazebos" yet). "Nice ass, Eds," Richie thought with an impish grin. He felt an ache on his jaw, and felt the tender spot. Fuck. He'd forgotten about that. "Thank God it's Saturday. I'd really rather not explain this bruise to everyone at school," he said. Eddie turned to face him with a softened expression.
"Will you tell me?" he asked quietly. "Ummm, my dad is more homophobic than my mom, so he punched me when he realized I wasn't kidding." Richie's eyes stung as he thought about what had happened...
Friday Night
Richie took a deep breath. He was nervous, but tired of hiding from everyone. It was time to accept who he was. "Mom, Dad? I have something important to tell you," Richie said, hands shaking as he prepared to say the words he was even too afraid to admit to himself. "What's up son?" Mr. Tozier said. "I...." "You what?" Mrs. Tozier said, eyes narrowing suspiciously. Just say it, dickwad! "I'm gay," he blurted, and cringed. "What did you just say?" Richie's teeth clenched at the hateful tone his mom used when talking about or to gay people. "I said I'm gay," he repeated, looking his mom dead in the eye. "Get the fuck out of my house, you disgusting faggot," she spat. Mr. Tozier stood. Before Richie could comprehend the movement, there was a sharp pain on his jaw.
His dad had just punched him. Great. Richie ran upstairs to pack his things. In less than five minutes he had packed everything he owned into a duffel bag. Running downstairs, he flinched when he almost ran into his mom. She slapped him in the face, her eyes black and empty of emotion. "Get out, and never come back." "FINE! I WON'T!!! FUCK YOU, YOU HOMOPHOBIC BITCH!!!!!" Richie screamed in her face before shoving her out of the way and running out the front door...
Present
"Chee? Um, are you okay?" Eddie asked. "Uh, yeah. Just kinda zoned out," Richie lied as he made his way to the bathroom, clutching his duffel bag.
