(Exclusive chapter)
Author's Pov:
All of the kids end up sleeping by 1 a.m.
Bill's parents returned home at 10, so the kids had to keep quiet for the rest of the night. They didnt want Bill's parents to keep coming down stairs while they were supposed to be, "sleeping".
The group of kids all decided to sleep on the floor with their sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows. They kinda made their own little fort.
Richie and Eddie snuggled up in there own little area, same with Bill and Stan. Everyone else spread throughout the room.

Eddie exhales sharply as he shoots up out of his sleep. He has beads of sweat falling down his face, and he could feel the collar of his shirt wet.
He quickly rummages around the floor looking for his fanny pack.
"Where is it??" He talks to himself.
He finally finds it underneath the couch, and rips his inhaler out and presses it to his lips. He presses the button and is immediately met with the feeling of fresh air.
Eddie takes a few deep breaths to keep his lungs in a healthy breathing pattern.
"Thank fuck." He mumbles.
He runs a clammy hand through his sweaty hair.
'I need water now' he thinks.
He carefully stands up trying not to wake any of the others. He walks up the stairs and opens the door slowly so it doesn't squeak.
He makes his way into the kitchen and reaches to open up the cup cupboard. Eddie stands on his tippy toes to reach it and pulls it off of the shelf.
'See, Richie. I'm not that short' he giggles to himself.
He always got annoyed when his boyfriend made fun of his height. Yeah, he's small but he's not thattt tiny.
Eddie chin reaches up to Richie's shoulder. Its a perfect height. Why? Because he can lean his head on Richie's shoulder whenever he wants.
"Now I just need to find the sink..." he says quietly.
The room was pitch black, minus the moonlight, so he couldn't see much.
Plus his eyes were still getting used to the dark.
'Ah! Bingo' his mind exclaims.
He turns on the faucet and lets the water fill to the top of the glass.
'Yesssss. Water. One of the healthiest things to put in your body.' Eddie chuckles at that thought.
We humans are around 70% water anyways.
All of a sudden, he hears a thumping sound which causes a loud sound to echo throughout the kitchen.
Eddie immediately spins around and looks for where the sound came from. His eyes widen and he takes a step back and his back collides with the sink.
"It's not real it's not real it's not real it's not real." He closes his eyes and whispers to himself.
Eddie's Pov:
I peak through one eye, and realizes that nothing else is happening.
'It must have went away.' I think.
"Eddie?" A voice whispers.
"Huh? W-Who's t-there's?" I say shakily.
The voice gets louder and I can hear footsteps.
'Eddie, it's not real.'
"Eddie are you okay?" They ask.
'Am I going crazy?'
I see a tall person stepping in front of me and I feel their hand on my cheek.
"Ri-Richie is that you?" I stutter.
"Uh, yeah? Why, did you think I was some tall scary monster?" He teases.
'Yes.'
"No... you just startled me." I lie.
"Oh, sorry Eds." He chuckles.
"It's not funny." I slap his shoulder. "You are scary."
"Ouchie." He frowns. "You don't have to be a meanie about it."
"You still love me though." I smirk.
"Obviously... how could I not? You're perfect." He smiles.
"So are you." I giggle.
"Thanks Eds."
"Mhm."
I turn around and take down the whole glass of water.
"Geez Eddie, that was a lot of water... speaking of, why are you awake? Its 2:30 in the morning." Richie yawns.
"I- I had a bad dream and I woke up."
"Oh." He whispers, and steps closer to me.
"Richie, let's just to back to sleep." I Murmur.
"Okay, but can I kiss you first?"
"Whatever, fine. But then we're going straight back to sleep."
~~
We make it downstairs in time before anyone else wakes up. Me and him snuggle up together on the floor. Under neath our fluffy blankets and pillows.
"G'night Eds. Love you."
"Night Richie."
