RICHIES POV

We ran as fast as we could, until We couldn't run anymore. There was no way she could have outrun us! And there were no short cuts, or we didn't think there was.. but then as we sat, out of breath, we looked up to see her standing there. She towered over us, and she looked mad.

NOBODIES POV

They turned to see Sonia standing there, her car behind her. She took Eddie by the hand and pulled him beside her. She looked at Richie "does your mother know your sick?"
"She knows I'm gay. She knows Eddies gay, and she knows we're not sick." He said angrily.
"You both need cured, you are sick and I can't just cure Eddie, because you will make him sick again." She grabbed Richie and threw him and Eddie into the car, locking it as soon as she closed the door. She got in and started to drive, Richie and Eddie looked at each other in panic and started banging on the car doors and windows trying to get help or unlock the doors. His mother shouted at them to stop and took out the belt she used to whip Eddie with. They both stopped and sat quietly, holding each other's hands. Eddies mother pulled into the driveway and dragged them both into the house. She locked the door behind them, She tied Richies wrist to the radiator. She then dragged Eddie upstairs and tied his wrist to his bed post. "I'm going to go try cure that diseased boy, then I'll be back to help you okay Eddiebear?"
"MOM DONT HURT HIM!" He shouted as she walked away, he struggled trying to escape. Richie could see some scissors he would be able to use to cut off the zip tie keeping him at the radiator, he was trying as hard as he could to reach them but they were out of reach. Eddies mother came downstairs and took out her wip. "It's time to cure you." She said with a crazy look in her eyes. "Get away from me!" She came closer. "Do you love my son?" She questioned.
"Yes! Just let us go!" Richie pleaded
"Wrong answer." She hit him with the whip.
Richie screamed in pain. "you're fucking crazy!" She hit him across the face making his lip bleed. She continued to hurt him, and he continued to scream in pain. She believed she could hurt him enough to make him not love Eddie and if not maybe he would just die and Eddie wouldn't be able to see him ever again. Eddie could hear from his room and he tried to get out of his zip lock. It was no use. It wouldn't come undone, he then remembered he had some small medical scissors in his bedside table, he reached over and took them then cut open his zip lock. But by the time he had gotten himself free the screams had stopped. He kept hold of the scissors and snuck downstairs. Richie was sitting still tied to the radiator, he had a black eye starting to form, a bleeding lip, there were cuts all over him and bruises were already forming, his wrist was also burned from the radiator. "H-holy shit" Eddie whispered and Richie looked up. He smiled, he was happy to see Eddie was okay, even if he himself wasn't. Sonia returned and saw Eddie. "Eddiebear get back upstairs!"
"No mom! Let him go!" He screamed
"You listen to me boy I am-" she was cut off. "NO! YOU LISTEN TO ME. WE ARENT SICK OR DISEASED! WERE FUCKING GAY. ITS THE SAME AS IF I LIKED A GIRL EXCEPT WE BOTH HAVE DICKS!"
"But honey-"
"No! No buts! Just let him go right now or I will call the police!" He took the phone out it's holder and started dialling 911
"Stop!" She untied Richie but he was to weak to move on his own. Eddie went over to Richie and helped him up then left.
—————
Eddie sat Richie down on his bed and took a first aid kit out his fanny pack. He picked up a disinfectant wipe and started to clean Richies wounds. "ow.."
"Sorry rich.."
"No it's okay... I'm sorry Eds"
"What for? You didn't do anything!"
"I persuaded you to go and talk to your mom. None of this would've happened if it weren't for m-" He was cut off by Eddies lips being pressed against his. "Don't ever apologise for something that my mother did okay?"
"But it was m-"
"Okay?!"
"Yeah... okay" Richie smiled a little and Eddie cleaned the rest of his wounds.
