here I am

Eddie was not as school the next day, or the day after that.

"Where the fuck is eds." said richie clearly pissed off

"Richie just like 5 minutes ago, I still don't know." snapped stan taking a bite of him tuna wrap

"Relax, he's probably just 'sick' or on house arrest again." said beverly rubbing circles into richie's warm palm to get him to calm down.

"He blocked my messages." richie commented sadly

"Same with me." said bill putting down his grilled cheese with turkey "I mean he is a little dick but I'm really worried."

"He's trying bill, he really is." richie said standing up fast, knocking beverly's hydroflask off the table "he's trying so hard to get you guys to like him again, but nothing is enough for you dickwads, is it."

"Richie that's not wha-" bill said trying to stop richie

"Save it bill." richie, pulled free and walked off to the back of the school, his 'smoke spot'

"And I oop- I dropped my mother fucking hydroflask sksks and I oop sks." joked beverly trying to lighten the mood. It didn't work.

Eddie sat in the barka lounger staring at a chip of paint in the wall whilst the tv played a football game where eddie thought that their team was loosing, his mother had been playing non-stop football and basketball since eddie was 'caught ill'

"Eddie bear, it's time for your medicine." Sonya squaked tapping her son on the shoulder

"Okay mommy." he said tipping his head back and opening his mouth.

"Eddie! Focus on the game, if you don't focus mommy will get mad. You don't want mommy to get mad, do you?" said Sonya turning the volume up on the tv to try get eddie to focus.

"Sorry mommy." Eddie said focusing on the tv again "May I have some food please."

"Sure eddie bear, how does a pb&j sound sweetheart?" said Sonya already rushing to make him one.

"Yeah, that sounds great mommy." said eddie softly "hey mommy, I'm gonna go to the bathroom really fast okay?"

"Sure, eddie bear." she called out half heartedly from the kitchen.

Eddie ran to his bedroom and pulled a small box out from under his bed, out of the box he took out a 'derry welcomes you' post card and a stub of an old pencil.

On the card he scribbled out Bill's address and a short message in a messy scrawl.

Eddie quickly jumped out his window while he still had time, sprinting out to the front of the house and stuffing the post card in the mail box as fast as he could.

"Eddie bear! It's ready!" called out that sharp voice from the kitchen

"Fuck." eddie huffed as he sprinted back to his window and hopped up into the frame "coming mommy!"

Eddie shook off his shoes fast, glad the snow had not come yet. He mock flushed the toilet and faked pulling his pants higher up while he walked out into the living room.

"There you are eddie bear!"

"Here I am."
