An: so for anyone who reads the odd one out, I might end that one for the moment mainly because I already have two stories running, school is school and I'm building a box atm. I'll give a photo when done :3

Dustin found Richie sitting on a bench at the park, his head was in his hands and his leg was bouncing up and down. Dustin quietly sat next to him,  "Rich you okay?" Richie didn't answer, "Look, I know that Mike can be a shit sometimes. He's I guess, always had a problem with everyone and no one really knows why, except El but she's never told anyone else but Max." He shrugged.
Richie sniffed quietly, wiping his teary eyes, Dustin turned to him and felt his heart sink for him. He leaned over giving the other curly haired  boy a hug. Richie just went limp and cried on his shoulder softly, "I.. I just got Will back..  and I don't want to... l...loose him to someone else..." he muttered, Dustin pulled him closer "Hey.. it's okay.. Will seems to really care about you, he would never do that to you..." Richie nodded and hugged Dustin back.

Meanwhile, Will and gone off in the other direction, Lucas following.
"Will! Will wait!" He eventually caught up, Will stopped in his tracks and was about to rip his hair out, "For one fucking day Mike could've just kept his mouth shut!" Lucas' eyes widened, this was the first time he heard Will swear. "Byers, hey. It's okay. Mikes a dickhead." Will sighed heavily, "I want him to move on."
"I can say the same, he wouldn't stop talking about you." Lucas admitted, "I just don't know why he's even bothering, I literally have a boyfriend and he's gonna carry on like a spoilt brat!" Will almost had steam coming from his ears, Lucas laid a hand on his shoulder, "Look, Will. Just talk to him later okay?" Will nodded and started walking back, "Wait- you're gonna talk to him now?!-" Lucas jogged after him.

Will walked back to Mike, he looked up at Will and felt everything inside of him drop. "We need to talk now." Mike nodded, getting up slowly. Will grabbed his shirt walking to somewhere private before letting go. Mike was honestly terrified about what was gonna happen. "Listen. I don't know what has gotten into you but this, needs to stop. We're just friends Mike, I would've liked it if you had told me this back in Hawkins but we're not in Hawkins any more,  IM not there anymore Mike! Please, move on. My feelings for you went a long time ago." Mike looked down, tears swelled up. "I'm so sorry Will.. I'm just.. confused.." Will sighed quietly, "I know, but you're with El right?" Mike shook his head, "she broke up with me before you guys left.."
Will felt bad for him, but was still mad.
"Right.. well.. I might know someone who you might like. He talks fast, short, but he's kinda cute if I'm being honest." Will huffed quietly, Mike looked up at him with some hope, "What's his name..?"
"Eddie."

An:*dances as I forget the shipname for Eddie and Mike*

"Cool, cool." Mike bit his lip, "Are we still friends..?"
"Yeah, but if you keep this shit up then..." Mike nodded, Will gave him a hug out of sympathy, he was always forgiving no matter what. The air between them two cleared. Dustin came back, alone. "Where's Richie?" Mike asked, Will was surprised but relieved. They both pulled away, "He said he had to go home. But... something feels off about it. Richie just seemed.... a bit dead? Like he had no tone and he wasn't himself." Wills heart dropped, "Okay... Mike, take everyone home. I'm gonna go talk to him." He sounded worried, he quickly hurried off, "Wait Will what's wron-"
"I said just go home!" Will yelled, before now running to Richie's house.

Tw: suicide

The wind outside started to rip Wills hair back and it stung his face, that'll be a wind burn, but that didn't matter. Will eventually got to Richie's house, the car wasn't home so that means it must only be him and Ruby. He frantically knocked on the door, Ruby opened the door to find a panicked Will, he gave her a worried hi and then ran upstairs to Richie's room, which was locked. Curious, Ruby followed. "Will? What's wrong?" She now was worried. "Do you know if Richie has a key?" His voice almost broke. Ruby nodded, she hurried to her room before coming out with a key to Richie's room. Will swiftly took it out of her tiny hand and shoved it into the knob, that's when everything changed. Once the door was open the two just cried. Richie was laying like he had fell from a 5 storied building, underneath his arm was a puddle of fresh blood which only got bigger, and a scattered pile of pills. "Ruby call 911!" Will cried out, running to Richie before sliding onto his knees next to the body, Ruby had done what Will said, talking to the operator. Will carefully rolled over Richie, he had stopped breathing but his pulse was still working, tears just rolled endlessly down Wills face and with that he performed CPR on the boy. Small moments passed and the ambulance had shown, the hoisted him onto a stretched before carefully but quickly taking him down to the car. Will hopped in the back with Ruby, they both hugged each other tightly as Will just watched everything they had done in pure shock while Ruby hid her face crying.

"W-Why did he d-do this..." Ruby cried, her voice broken. You could definitely tell that she was torn from this and this overall had hurt her more then anything. Will hid his face into ruby's hair, crying himself.  "I don't know.."

They arrived to the hospital and Richie was rushed into emergency, Will jumped out with Ruby, seeing the love of his life been taking away, his bandaged arm dangled on the side, and his face was completely white and lifeless. Will fell onto his knees, probably bruising them and broke down. His face was red and his eyes hurt as Wills head pounded. But with all this pain on himself he was forced to go inside with Ruby to sit in the waiting room. Richie had been taken to a room somewhere in the building. Ruby had cried herself to sleep on one of the chairs, the nurse gave her a pillow and a blanket for comfort. Will on the other hand had called Stan on the payphone.

"Hello Stanley Uris is speaking."
"C-Come down to the hospital... bring the losers..."
"Will? What the hell happened?!"
"Richie..."

Will sat in the waiting room. Hours had flown past and nothing had happened yet. Until a doctor came out, telling him that he could go see Richie. Ruby and Will walked to the room, the doctor had said that if they had left him for any longer he would've been dead. He explained that Richie was in critical condition and that he will be asleep for a long time.
When Will walked inside the room he saw Richie laying there in the bed with cords hooked to him, and a breathing mask that sat on his face. Ruby sat in the chair near the window, crying. Will moved next to Richie and weakly held his hand.
"Excuse me Miss."
Ruby looked up.
"Does erm.. Richie get abused at home...?" Ruby lost all colour in her face but lied and said no. Will didn't say anything, he laid his head on the bed beside.

"Richie why... you could've talked to me... I would've helped you.... Please, please god, don't take him... Come back Rich.. I.... I love you...." Will muttered to himself, a tear fell down onto Richie's hand.
