Dear Eddie spaghetti~ Reddie

Chapter 5

THE NEXT DAY 

     The birds outside my window chirped and chirped and chirped. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment. I got up and walked towards my closet I slipped on black jeans and a yellow t-shirt. I walked towards the bathroom I looked in the broken mirror.  

*FLASH BACK* 

"Eddie." I yelled looking in the mirror. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" 

A loud knock filled my ears. 

"Richie!" My dad yelled. 

I opened the door. he opened his arms and I walked into them. 

"Eddies okay." My dad said. "Hes outside." 

"Okay." I smiled fakely. 

"Just remember Rich everyone's defeatable." He smiled. "Take this mirror foe example." He hit it with a chair.

*FLASH BACK ENDING*

"RICH, OPEN UP." a voice yelled. I opened the door to see Jason. My moms boyfriend. 

"Hey , Jason." I smiled fakely. 

"I told you not to call me that, Richard." Jason whispered. 

"Sorry, dad." I said. 

I walked downstairs, grabbed my bag and hopped on my bike riding to school.  

I know Jasons not my dad my dad was the best he played baseball with me, and basketball and, I'm pretty sure he knew i'm gay. He passed away four months and 13 days ago and, my mom has already moved on to a, smoker. Alcoholic. Poor. Cheater.

I stopped and parked my bike beside the school. 

"Hey, Rich." The voice I was trying to avoid said. 

"Hey, Eds." I smiled turning around. 

Eddie hugged me I just kinda stood there one hand on his back. He pulled out of the hug. 

"RICHIE!" Stan screamed from the trees he ran towards me. 

"STANNN!" I yelled. 

When Stan got to me and Eddie, Bill and, Bev were already there. 

"N-n-nice Hickeys." Bill laughed. 

Beverly and Stan looked at me weirdly. But, Eddie looked sad like I betrayed him or something. 

"Thanks." I smiled. 

"W-w-where did you g-g-get them?" Bill asked. 

"Eddies mom." I joked. 

"Shut up." Eddie laughed. 

"Where'd y-you get them, f-f-for real?" Bill asked. 

"Some one pretty." I said. 

I looked over at Stan who was blushing. 

"Awww" Bev smiled. 

"Pretty ugly." I laughed. 

The bell rung and we headed to class. I had Geography with Bev and Eds. when the three of us got to class I sat down in my spot in the back left corner next to Bev. Eddie was in the front he said we were to distracting. 

"We need to talk me, you, Stan after school meet me at the quarry 4 o'clock." Bev whispered. 

LUNCH 

I sat down at our usual table between Eddie and Stan. I grabbed Stan's sandwich and took a massive bite. Stan looked at me and didn't say anything. 

"W-w-wow." Bill laughed. "Y-Y-you never s-s-share food." 

"what? oh, Oh, lo- I mean Rich what the heck?" Stan said. 

"Sorry sun- I mean, Skinny Radish." I "insulted". 

"Skinny Radish?" Eddie asked. 

"Ya skinny radish." I answered. 

"Okay enough of t-that." Bill stuttered. "Where did you get th-those hickeys." 

"Ya." Ben said as he sat. 

"Where were you?" I asked. 

"D-dont change th-the subject." Bill said. 

"I'm not telling you." I smirked. 

"Well, Can you give us a hint?" Eddie asked. 

I looked at Stan he nodded. Yes. 

"The person has curly hair." I answered. 

Ben pulled out his notebook and pen. He wrote ten girls name down with curly hair.  

Taylor, Alex, Addasyn, Julia, Mya.

"He didn't specify the gender." Eddie corrected. 

"Oh yeah he didn't." Ben smiled. 

He wrote down some boys names. 

Stan, Joe, Oscar, Myles. 

"Why don't you two want to figure this out?" Eddie asked Bev and Stan. 

Stan shrugged his shoulders. 

"Unless you guys already know." Ben said. 

They stayed silent. 

"W-who is i-it." Bill asked. 

I looked over to Eddie tears were in his eyes. 

"They don;t know." I said. "I'll give you one guess okay i'll tell you if its right or wrong." 

"Stan." Ben said almost instantly. 

"W-what?' " Bill questioned. 

"Think about it Richie didn't specify it was a girl. Stan has Curly hair. Stan doesn't want to know who gave Richie his hickey. Richie keeps looking at Stan for approval. Plus Stan was at Richie's house last night." Ben said. 

"I uh-Stan." I muttered. 

"It umm." Stan frowned. 

The bell rang. 

Stan and, I ran out. 

AFTER SCHOOL 

When I got home I couldn't stop thinking about how sad Eddie was at lunch. I grabbed the notebook from off my dresser and opened it to the next page. 

Dear Richie, 

I know you're reading this and, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being a horrible best friend. I'm sorry for being gay. I'm sorry that I can never stop thinking about you. I'm sorry that you're the love of my life. I'm sorry that all I want is for you to be happy. I'm sorry for expecting you to love me back. I'm sorry that i'm never there for you. Just now that I love you and I try my  best to be there for you all the time. 

Love Eds
