THE NEXT DAY

I walked over to Eddie Kasparack's since I went there every Saturday and he was still my best friend Even though stuff was going on with Stan. I knocked on his beige door with paint peeling off it. His mom wasn't home on Saturdays that's why I only went to his house on Saturday since, she Ms. Kaspbrak doesn't like me. Eddie answered the door. 

"My moms home." He smiled fakely. 

"Can you go to the quarry?" I asked. 

"I'll ask." 

"Okay." 

"Mommy, Can I go to the park?" 

"SURE!" ms. Kaspbrak's shrilled voice yelled. 

Eddie Closed his door and we started to walk to the quarry.

"So, Stan?" Eddie asked. 

"Ya," I answered.  

"Are you guys in love?" Eddie asked. 

"In love lasts forever." 

"Forever? You guys aren't gonna be in love forever?" 

"Were not in love. We love each other in a friend way it just so happens at the moment we like each other. Plus, were just exploring or sexuality's for the people we really love." 

"Who do you really love?" 

You. 

"Well, aren't you nosy."

"sorry." 

"It's okay, Eds I just... I can't." 

"First, don't call me that. Second, if I tell the person that I love them I'm afraid I'll hurt them." 

"Well, you can tell me." 

"No, no I cant." 

"Why?" 

"You don't understand." 

"Why Can't you tell me?" 

"I just cant" 

"Why?" 

"DON'T YOU GET IT? YOU'RE THE PERSON I LOVE!" 

"Rich, you read my journal right?"

"Not all of it."

"I confessed I loved you like a hundred times." 

"But, why?" 

"Why do I love you?" 

I looked around we were about half way there to the quarry. 

"Ya." 
"Because your funny, cute, sometimes nice and, you're smile lights up the room." 

"But, I'm me." 

"I know." 

We walked in silence until we got to the quarry. We saw Stan and, Bill holding hands sitting on a rock, facing the other way. Stan and Bill were both leaning in. they got. Closer. Closer. Closer. Until there lips touched. 

"Stan." I whispered. 

Stan turned around. 

"Rich." He said. "I, uh." 

I didn't let him finish I ran, ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going I just knew I wanted to be anywhere but, there. I looked behind me to see if anyone cared enough to follow me. Sure enough I saw a out of breathe Eddie speed walking. 

"RICH!" He screamed. 

I stopped and walked towards him. I don't really remember what happened but, the next thing I knew I was crying in his arms. 

(may or may have not got that idea from Reddie4Stenbrough) 

LATER THAT NIGHT

Eddie and, I spent the whole day together just talking and, laughing. When I got home Stan and, Bill were both sitting on my couch. 

"Why are you here?" I asked. 

"I- We want to talk to you." Stan smiled. 

"I'll give you two minutes." I said.  

"You know I love you." Stan smiled. 

"Sure." I rolled my eyes. 

"But, I love you as a friend and I like you as a crush but, I love Bill." Stan said. 

"You love Bill as a boyfriend?" I asked. 

"Yes." Stan answered. 

"GET OUT!" I screamed. 

"R-Richie." Bill stuttered. 

"GET OUT!" I screamed as loud as I could.

They got out quickly. Once, they left my property I walked into the kitchen and held the necklace my Dad gave my mom before he passed away. 

"Dad." I cried. 

I put the necklace around my neck. I grabbed the set of bowls that Jason gave my mom and through them at the walls and across the floor. I ran upstairs and grabbed my grey bag I put four polo shirts, two pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, 7 pairs of socks, 8 pairs of boxers, my wallet, my grey sweater, a journal, pens and, Eddies journal and stuffed them in my bag.
