EDDIES POV
After my mom had given Richie the medicine I took him through to my room, but he was acting strange. At first he was normal but then he started getting mood swings, one minute angry the next loving and then he started to hallucinate, I don't know why or what he was seeing but he sat in the corner of my room with his knees to his chest and tears rolling down his face. He started muttering and I couldn't tell what he was saying but it was something like "shut up! Your lying! Yes he does!" As I got closer he told me to stay back but then a few minutes later he seemed to realise me as if he hadn't seen me there before, I was getting worried so I called a cab and took him to the doctors. We sat in the waiting room, he was shaking. The doctors took some tests and after what felt like forever they came back into the room, Richie looked way better.

NOBODIES POV
The doctor came into the room and explained what was happening, Richie had food poisoning from the meat and was acting so strange as he had taken the drugs, they also explained all the negative side effects that it could have on Richies body especially when mixing it with alcohol. Richie grew a confused look on his face as he hadn't taken any drugs, at least knowingly. He saw Eddie become upset and disappointed but all he did was nod at all the doctors instructions until they left.
"Why the fuck did you take drugs Richie?! Do you know what that shit can do to you!?" Eddie shouted as they waited for a cab. "I s-swear I didn't!" It was still hard for Richie to think straight so it made him stutter. "Oh, so the tests were lying?" Eddie said angrily.
"I don't know! Maybe? The only d-drugs I took was the medicine your mom ga-gave me and that kind of drugs are supposed to make you feel b-better!" Richie looked down at the ground. "My mom is fucking trying and you accuse her of drugging you?! Real mature Richie, how about you stop lying to me and tell me why you took the fucking drugs." Richie could see Eddies anger grow.
"I am telling you the truth!"
"Stop lying! Your supposed to trust me enough to tell me things!"
"You know what? Fuck you Eddie. I trust you with everything, but here we are you talking about trust when you can't even trust me enough to believe me when I say I didn't take shit." Richie stood up and stormed off, he didn't care if he was still high. He just wanted to leave.
"Richie! I'm sorry, please come back!" Eddie went to go after him but Richie went out of view before Eddie could find him.
Eddie went back home, his mother sat on the couch waiting for him. "Are you okay Eddiebear?"
She could see the sad expression on Eddies face. "No..." He replied sadly. "What's wrong?" She knew what it would be about but she had to pretend not to. "Me and Richie got in a fight because he took some drugs and mixed them with alcohol..." Eddie frowned and sat on the couch. His mother smiled slightly but hid it well. "Aw I'm sorry... did you break up with him?"
"What? No?... why would I break up with him because of drugs..?" He looked up at her confused. "Well what if he gets out of control and hurts you? Or tries to get you to take some?"
"Yeah...I guess" Eddie gave another sad expression, his mother still hiding her happy one, Eddie stood up and went to his room to think.

RICHIES POV
I felt absolutely shit. I knew I was going into the withdrawal stage. My head hurt like hell, I was sweating, I could feel my heart racing and I could feel my chest tighten, making it hard to breathe. I started to rip my moms house apart looking for more drugs hoping she had some. I don't even know why I was doing it, I didn't want more drugs and I knew my mom didn't have any. So why did I? It was like I couldn't control what I was doing. I ran to my dads house, even though he was no longer in town I had a key. I started to rip it apart as well... still nothing. But I had I feeling I knew who gave it to me last time, so I went to Eddies house. For the first time it wasn't to see him, but to see his mom. I didn't knock on the door I just went in and to her medicine cabinet.

NOBODIES POV
Eddies mom ran to the kitchen. "What are you doing?!" She shouted to him. "I know it was you who gave me them drugs!" He searched the cabinet more. "I don't know what your talking about.." she replied acting innocent. "I don't give a shit ok?! Just give me another, or like the whole bag!" He turned to face her. "You want more?" She asked confused.
He nodded "this whole withdrawal thing? It sucks! I just need another one and then I'll be fine and I'll stop!" He wasn't sure he even believed himself in saying that, and he knew Sonia didn't ether. But she handed him the bag anyway. He ripped it open and placed a pill in his mouth, already he could feel all the withdrawal symptoms going away. "I think you should leave, Eddie doesn't want you here."
She could see the sadness and confusion in Richies face as she spoke these words.
"Why wouldn't he want me here?..." his voice broke halfway through the sentence.
"He doesn't love you anymore."
"W-what?.." a tear rolled down his face and he quickly wiped it away. "He said that he hates you for kissing him while on drugs, you could have gotten him high."
"B-but I didn't kiss him on drugs.."
"Yes you did, you took them before you came here, then when you were in his room you made out whilst you were on drugs."
"Y-your lying!"
"No, Richie I'm not, what could you give him anyway? Happiness? No. All you do is put your problems on him, you have nothing but your heart to give, you could get happiness with someone else who can give him a better life than you. You're nothing, and if you stayed with him you couldn't give him anything."
She knew she could mess with his mind as he was high, she knew he would believe what she said.
"I can give him m-more that that!"
"What can you give him? Huh Richie?"
The more he thought about it the more he realised she was right. He had nothing he could give to make Eddies life better.He started to tear up "J-just let me go speak to him!" Richie went to go up the stairs, Sonia grabbed his arm. "He doesn't want to see you ever again." Richies tears streamed down his face and he ran out. Eddie saw Richie running away from his window, so he went downstairs. "Mom why didn't you tell me to Richie was here?" Eddie looked a little annoyed. He wanted to talk to Richie about earlier. "I'm sorry honey... he doesn't love you anymore."
"W-what?"
