Road trip- Reddie

Part 26

*Richie Tozier*

"Holy shit! You look just like me!" I yell.

Everyone is in shock. Will gets up and hugs the boy.

"Mike, thanks for coming here! I know Nancy was moving into her college dorm and," Will starts.

"It's okay. I'm just confused why does he look like me?" Mike asks, pointing at me.

"Richie Tozier's the name and doing voices the game," I say in a British accent. Eddie playfully punches me in the side.

"I'm calling my mother!" Mike yells.

"Babe, calm down. It's just a coincidence," Will calms Mike.

"I'm calling my Mom," I whisper. My Mom picks up, I explain everything to her. Since she's on speaker everyone hears her whisper, "Shit. Richard, Michael, I got to tell you something."

"What is Mom?" I ask.

"Michael, Karen isn't your real Mom. I am, I had an affair with your father when I got pregnant with you two, Karen asked me if she could have one since I didn't have a stable job. She moved away once you two were born since she was so mad, I'm sorry we've kept it from you guys," My Mom whispers. I hang up right away.

"Will, let's go. I need to talk to my Mom. Thanks for keeping him safe, guys. Richie, I'll call you," Mike says. They walk about, my mind still can't comprehend it. I have a twin brother.

"Richie, are you okay?" Eddie calmly asks. He puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm pissed at my Mom but I finally got what I wanted, a fucking brother," I whisper. I just walk upstairs, Eddie follows me.

"Let him think, Eddie," Ben whispers.

"Ben, I need him right now. You guys can continue with the movie," I cry. Tears come to my eyes. I lay on mine and Eddie's bed, Eddie lays next to me.

"Richie, if you want to go home now, we can," Eddie whispers.

"No, let's finish the summer here."

*Two weeks later*

"Bye Stan's cabin!" Eddie yells. We load into Bev's van, Eddie and I go to the back. I'm definitely scared for what my Mom is going to say but more scared for Eddie. It's currently 5:30 am, Bev insisted on leaving early, Eddie has already fallen asleep. I play with his hair, I look at every freckle that litters his nose and cheekbones. We get Eddie's house first, I walk him in, and Sonia greets me.

"Richie, call me and tells me what happens with your Mom," Eddie whispers. He slowly kisses me, I walk home, when I get home. My Mom, Mike, my real Dad, my Dad, Mike's Mom, and who I assume is my step sister.

"Boys, we will explain the whole story."
