"RICHIE!" A voice screamed. 

I looked behind me to see Eddie. He disappeared. I tried to scream but, nothing came out. 

"RICHIE!" I heard him again. 

I turned around to see him using his puffer. 

"Richie I love-" He stopped. 

A knife went threw his chest he fell to the floor a tear in his eye. 


I bolted up, gasping for air.  

"your up." Malorie smiled hugging me. 

"What happened?" I asked rubbing my eyes. 

"You ummm, had a overdose." She answered. 

"Oh my- Is Delilah okay?" I asked. 

"Shes in the waiting room with Beverly." 

"How long have I been out?" 

"About twelve hours." 

"Oh my-" 

"I'm going to get the doctor." 

She left the hospital room and a doctor came in a couple minutes after. 

"Hello, you must be Richie Tozier." She smiled. 

"No duh." 

"I'm doc. Jaysa." 

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, Ugh..." 

she checked my blood pressure and temperature before leaving. I was about to fall asleep when I heard my bedroom door open. I looked to see Delilah. 

"Daddy!" She screamed running towards my hospital bed and jumping onto it. 

"Hi sweetie." I smiled.

She wore her yellow overalls and pink and blue butterfly shirt wit her yellow shoes. Her long brown hair was put into a braid. 

"Daddy?" 

"Ya, bear." 

"I'm going to miss you." 

"Where are you going?" 

"No where but, aunt Bev told me you might be going to visit Uncle Eddie in heaven." 

"Sweetie, I'm not going anywhere." 

"Are you sure?" 

"I'm positive." 

"Is uncle Eddie ever coming home?" 

"No, sweetie." 

"Why not?" 

"He's happy now." 

"Why wasn't he happy before?" 

"Someone very important to him hurt him really bad." 

"Who?" 

"Daddy." 

THE NEXT DAY 

They let me out of the hospital early. They said they needed more room. 

I stared at my ceiling. I heard nothing. Delilah was at daycare and, Malorie was at work. My feet were dangling off my bed and my face was drenched in tears. 

A noise came out of nowhere it sounded like a knock. 

Eddie? 

I sprang up from my bed and bolted for the door. I opened it as quickly as I could. It was just the losers, Addy and Alex. Wait Alex? 

"Wheres Eddie?" I asked her. 

"Wha-" She began. 

"I know you ran away with him. I know you guys ran away hes not gone." 

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do." 

"No." 

"Don't lie to me." 

"Richie hes gone." 

"No hes not." 

I collapsed into Bills arms. I slid to the floor slowly he followed we both dropped. 

"I-its okay." He stroked my hair. 

I couldn't talk I only wanted to cry. I couldn't see my eyes became more and more blurry every second. 

The eight of us decided to go on a walk. We passed the park when I heard someone scream. Scream my name. The voice was small but, powerful. Eddie? No it can't be. 

I heard it again. I turned around to see no one. 

"Rich you okay?" Mike asked. 

"What-oh yeah." I answered. 

I heard it again. 

I turned to see what I was hopping to see for four months. Eddie. 

I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around him.

I looked at him squeezing him tighter. I pulled my face away so, I could look at him. I leaned in and our lips met.
