Eddie*

I sighed as I helped Richie move the last box. "So," I sighed, sitting on the bed. "You're really leaving? Where to?" I asked, trying not to seem so saddened.

He sighed, pushing his glasses on his cute nose. "I'm not sure, I want to stay, but I kinda just wanna roam." He shrugged, sitting on his desk.

I nodded. "C-Cool," i looked around his room. "What's making you wanna stay?" I asked curiously.

He shrugged. "Well, this is home. This is all I've known," he said, looking around the room. "And besides, I would just end up traveling alone anyway."

I wanna go with him. I'd go anywhere with him.

"Well, that's how you find someone, Rich." I chuckled. "Someone to start a new life with, find a new home." I smiled timidly.

He smiled at me. "Yeah, but sometimes I don't want new things, Eds." He mumbled.

I sighed. "I get that. I don't really want to go to college. I just want to be a stay at home parent, but I have to do things to meet someone, then everything else and what not." I complained.

He laughed a little bit. "You know, I feel like you're going to become this great author, Eddie." He smiled at me.

I blushed, chewing the inside of my lip to keep myself from lounging at him, or confessing things. "Hmmm," I looked around. "I think you're gonna be this great comedian one day, Rich!"

He giggled. "Y-you really think so, Eds?"

I nodded. "Of course!" I smiled brightly at the oblivious boy.

I have to tell Richie how I feel before he leaves forever. I have to. I can't now though, I might ruin our entire summer we all have planed. Despite it being a now or never moment, I can't.

"Hey Richie?" I looked up at him. He looked to me. "Would you wanna spend your summer at my house? I know you hate it here," I sighed, standing up. "And i know id like to spend as much time with you as possible before we leave." I rubbed the back of my neck.

He stood up and hugged me tightly.

I felt confused but I hugged him back. I felt so warm and safe with him. I can't watch him leave in three months. I can't. It'd break me.

"I'd love to, Eds." He smiled into my neck and shoulder.

I smiled happily, refraining myself from jumping up and down. "Great! That's awesome!"

He pulled away and looked over me. "I'll get my stuff and I'll head over with you."
