The end of the day came and Eddie was trying to avoid Richie at all costs, which was hard when 4 out of his 7 classes have Richie in them. He ran out of the back entrance with Bill grining. 'We survived!' Bill laughed a little at the comment as Eddie locked eyes with a pissed Jason..." fuck!" was the only thought that could come to Eddie's head as he felt his shirt get tugged. 'Faggot! The fuck were you doing?!' Eddie answered trying to get him off him. 'Nothing! I was leaving with my friend!'

Bill said trying to shove Jason. 'Seriously leave him alone.' Jason just screamed like a crazy man at Bill, he shoved Eddie up against the wall. 'Just pretend I'm Richie and you'll enjoy it, fucking faggot!' He laughed gripping at Eddie harder, he tried squirming his feet around to get him off, one punch. Two punch. Three punch. Four.

By the fourth Bill had gotten him off grabbing Eddie dragging him to the dinner, he says as they got in the backroom. 'Ok, uh...here's some ice! Just go sit down and I'll try and find some bandaids.' Eddie nodded just rubbing his head, he had a black eye, busted lip, bruised stomach and his arms had little scratch marks from his grip.

The little ding from the door opening went off making Eddie look over, Richie, Jason and some chick, Eddie felt himself get worried as he just tried to make himself invisible. Bill came back over. 'Here, do you need anything? Ice?' Eddie nodded. 'Yeah, thank you so much.' Bill nodded walking off, Georgie, Eddie's second favourite waiter walked over and said in shook. 'Eddie?! What the fuck I'll go.-' Eddie cute him off. 'Bill is helping me I'll be fine.' Georgie nods. 'Ok, just tell me if you need anything.' Eddie nods as Jason, Richie and the lady sit down in a booth just next to Eddies, Bill comes back with ice handing to him. 'Ok seriously what's his deal, and why'd he bring up.-' his eyes wondered noticing Jason, he says upset. 'Ok, out! I refuse to serve you in my dinner. Out!' Richie goes to get up confused. 'We didn't do anything?' Bill just scoffs. 'Jason needs to leave immediately.' Richie looks around locking eyes with Eddie, Eddie just looks away a little worried as Richie says even more confused. 'The fuck happened to you?!' Jason groans. 'Just cause your little boyfriend got a beating doesn't mean you can kick me out.' Richie makes a little head single to try and get Eddie to follow him, all he gets is a head shake in response, he taps bills shoulder. 'I'm going to head home, I'll see you later Bill.' Bill nods. 'Be safe.' Eddie gets up messaging Bev telling her to unlock her door.

Eddie arrives at Bev opening the door. 'Bev!' Bev groans coming out of her room in just a sheet. 'Eddie, I'm a little.- Holy shit are you ok?!' She runs up to Eddie touching his lip, Eddie hisses a little. 'Bev, I'm in pain! And my mum will kill me if I come home like this!' The door opens again as Richie comes in. 'I'm home- Beverly Marsh put some clothes on.' Bev nods forgetting her hole naked issue as Richie grabs Eddie's hand. 'What happened?' 

Eddie pulled his hand back. 'It's nothing! I'm fine! Just slipped!' Richie looked Eddie deadset in the eyes. 'Well, Jason said you were trying to suck his dick so he beat the living crap out of you. What happened?' Eddie sighs. 'Bill and I were exiting the school and he just happened to be there...and yep! You can fill in the blanks!' Richie asks. 'So, you did try and suck his dick?' Eddie shakes his head quickly. 'God no! He's just always hated me for being a little bit more...feminine? As you could say?' Richie laughs. 'You always look cute.' Eddie smiles a little. 'Thanks, you look really handsome.' Richie smiles a little kicking his feet a little looking at Eddies features. 'Your poor lip.' 

Richie grabs his face rubbing a circle with his thumb, Eddie laughs a little getting on his tippy toes. 'I'm as tall as you now!' Richie asks. 'Is your lip feeling ok?' He nods. 'I guess, the ice numbed it.' Richie leans in a little. 'Oh? So it's completely numbed?' Eddie nods. 'Mhmm, the pain is completely gone!' Richie winks. 'Want me to kiss it better?' 

Eddie just blushes rolling his eyes. 'That's gay.' Eddie gets off his tippy toes laughing a little as Richie moves a little closer. 'I'm being serious.' Eddie just stands there with his mouth open in shook. 'I...I mean...' 'Ok I'm back and wearing clothes! Ben and I were.-' Eddie quickly shoves Richie off him rubbing the back of his neck. 'Can I just, get some panadol or something? My head is killing me.' Bev laughs a little. 'Were you two about to kiss?' Eddie shakes his head quickly. 'If I hugged Richie Jason would smell it and kill me slowly!' 

Richie whispers in Eddie's ear. 

"I wouldn't let him trust me, he's never going to lay a hand on you again."
