Richies POV

Everyone from the 12th grade was their. Boys playing beer pong, girls flirting and couples being all lovey dovey. It was still early and people were already taking shots. Eddie and I were still some what hesitate when it came to showing affection in public, but I knew once it was around 10 and everyone was shit face drunk, we'd be good.

"Trashmouth tozier!" I hear a voice say. I turn to see Conner. I smile and he hugs him, "wow you showed? Drinks are over there!"

"Thank dude" I smile brightly. I glance at Eddie and he has a pissy look on his face. I know how jealous he is of Conner. We've talked about it but Conners my friend. I love Eddie but he can't control my friends, he said it himself.

One night when we were sitting up in his room discussing the topic and he said, Rich I can't control who you hang out with, and that's not what I'm trying to do...I just don't like Conner. He gives me a bad vibe.

I wish he didn't say the last part. bad vibe? Conners chill, well as long as Henry isn't around.

Conner just glanced at Bev and smiles. Bev seemed to have a problem with him too but unlike Conner and Eddie, Conner actually admires Beverly. Not so much in a romantic way but more in the sense that he thinks she clever and not as bad as people say she is. Which is in fact true.

"Well I think rich needs a drink! Jane...." Bev glances at Jane. Jane grabs my hand and pulls me towards the kitchen leaving Eddie with Bev back at the front door.

Eddies POV

Conner had disappeared into the crowd just like Jane and Richie did. I begin to follow them but then Bev grabs my arm.

"Hm?" He turn and she pulls me closer. "Somethings fishy about that Conner guy...."

"No duh!" I roll my eyes at the thought of him.

"Listen Eds, I don't wanna stress you out or anything but Richie has been talking about him...a lot." Beverly says and glares at Conner from across the room.

"Wait wait...what are you getting at." I say backing away slowly.

"No no! Not like that. Rich would never ever do that." Bev looks into my eyes with a sincere look.

"Just, Conner sketch's me out and I don't want him to mess around with Richie. He's very flirty and Rich can be...venerable. Richie wouldn't do anything with him so don't worry about that. Just try to keep him away from Conner!" Beverly exclaims.

I frown, "it's just...hard." I say. I begin to think of what could go wrong. What might happen. He's very flirt and Rich can be...venerable. What does that mean.

I feel tears start to build up, I can't cry in front of Beverly! I barely know her.

"Eddie...hun are you ok?" Once those words leave her lips and I try to speak, the tears fall down my face.

They're both tears of sadness and embarrassment. I'm crying in front of my boyfriends best friend who I've known for like 4 months!

"Here lets go to the bathroom." Beverly takes my hand and pulls me threw the people. She's very confident, she pushes threw the people without saying "excuse me" or "sorry, pardon me".

If my mother ever found out I wasn't using my manners she would not be happy. If my mom knew I was here right now! I simply told her that me and a group of friends were going to Richie's for a small get together. I never ever told her about this huge house party at the guy I hate's house!

She takes me to the bathroom and locks the door, "hey hey don't cry."

But it's too late, tears are falling down my face. I look away, "I'm sorry Bev."

        "Dude why are you apologize. I understand why you're upset but you need to understand that I won't let anything bad happen to you and rich. Want me to talk to him?" She looks at me.

        I think for a minute. I don't wanna come across as the "jealous boyfriend", but I say yes.

         "Ok, lets go find Jane and Richie. I'll go talk to him and you go party with Jane ok!" She smiles brightly and I smile back.

         Bev always know how to make me feel better, I know she's there for me. More then any other of the losers, except Richie of course. But deep down I know if Richie and I were to break up, she'd be on his side. Not mine.

        Bev leads me threw the crowd to Jane, but Richie isn't with her.

       "Where's Rich?" He yells over the others talking and loud music.
   
       "Conner needed to talk to him..." Jane says looking at Bev, avoiding all eye contact with me.

        "Shit...." she mumbles, to quiet for Jane to hear but hear and I are close enough for me to hear her as he mumbles other curse words.

         "Here, stay with Eddie..." she says and walks away from us. Leaving me alone with Jane.

 
Bev's POV

       I walk up the big stair case, avoiding the couples who are talking or making out.

        I spot Stan and Betty who are leaning against the wall laughing.

        "Hey Stan, Betty, have you guys seen Richie?" I look at them.

       "Oh yeah, he came up here a few minutes ago, he was with that Conner guy."

       "Oh...ok thanks." I nod, I start to get anxious. I know eddies probably worried sick right now. I know I shouldn't have said anything but he needs to know.

       I look in each room, I walk in on couples hooking up and games of spin the bottle gut I can't find Richie...

          I finally get to the last door on the right of the hall way and I open it just a bit. There he is. Sitting on the bed with Conner.

         Im about to open the door fully till Conner leans in and pecks Richie's lips.

I'm back!!!
I know it's been a few weeks and I'm so so sorry !!!! I don't have an excuse I just haven't been in the mood to write but here:)
