Reddie - Us❤️

Chapter 25

Things have been a little harder the past couple days. Eddie doesn't think we should hang out in public at all, only when our friends are with us. I didn't think that conversation would turn into this. And it really upsets me. Maybe I'm overreacting, it's just been a couple days. That's all. Just, a couple days. But I also haven't seen him in a couple days. Call me clingy, go ahead but I think being together is bothering him... fuck. This better not be as bad as I think it is.

Richie jabbed the pencil into the paper; it snapped.

"Fuck."

He crumbled up the piece of paper and threw it across the room.

"How is this happening. It's unbelievable."

He rubbed his hands through his hair.

This is all my fault. If I never kissed him in public, all of this would of never happened.

Richie threw his glasses off his face, and screamed into a pillow. He lay back down and sighed. He picked up the phone and dialled Stanley.

Hello, who's this?

Hey Stan the Man! It's Rich-

The phone hung up.

"The fuck?!"

He dialled the number again, no answer.

He called Eddie, no answer.

"What the fuck?!"

———————————-

"Eddie turn off your phone! He's gonna keep calling, it's Richie."

"Yeah."

"Wait, what if he comes here??"

"We won't let him."

"But trust me, Richie wouldn't give up. I know how much he cares about me. About us. You know him."

"Fuck, you're right."

"But Stan. He can not know about this."

"I know. And he won't, you just.. Can't see him until you're healed."

Stanley gave Eddie an ice pack for his head.

"It's not too bad Eddie."

"Not too bad Stan? Henry and his gang jumped me yesterday. I can't see Richie till this heals up cause I know he'd get upset. Even though he's the person I wanna see most... He can't see me like this."

Eddie wiped a tear from his face.

"This makes things a lot worse now...."

"What are you saying Eddie?"

"N-nothing."
But he knew well enough

"But Eddie it's a good thing I was with you, or things could of been worse."

"Am I fucking useless??? I can fight back Stan!"

Stan looked down. Eddie got off the couch and headed upstairs into the bathroom.

He started sobbing into his hands.

"Why! Why us!!!" He choked on his words.

"Why now! H-how am I s-s-supposed to be with him.."

"Eddie...." Stan knocked on the door.

"G-go away!"

"Eddie-

"Go away Stan!!!! Please..."

He heard the footsteps walk away.

He continued crying.
