-The next day, Stanley's house-
"I'm so tired.." Richie rolled off the couch and onto the floor. He landed on Bill.
"G-get off me!"
"Shit, sorry Bill."
He walked into the bathroom and washed his face, he sighed looking in the mirror. He looked down at his wrists.
FLASHBACK
"I-it's not enough...it's n-not enough.." He sobbed, cutting deeper into his skin.
"It's.. n-n-
He collapsed onto the floor, and cut again. He cried louder, and rubbed his bloody hands through his hair.
"W-what is wrong w-with me.."
END OF FLASHBACK
He looked at the scars on his arms and sighed; he left the bathroom. Stan stood right there.
"You okay Rich?"
He nodded, then walked past him, into the kitchen.
"What you makin Bev?"
"I'm trying to make scrambled eggs, but I can't seem to."
He laughed, "Can I? Ed's said I make them best." He smiled proudly.
"Indeed you do." She smiled, and he took over the pan.
"Eds is still sleeping?" He said.
"Yeah, he was a little upset last night. Guess he couldn't sleep."
"Why..?"
"You know why Rich..we were all upset yesterday about you."
"O-oh...Yeah."
"Again, I-I'm sorry."
She smiled sadly.
"Nice shirt."
He wore one of the Hawaiian shirts they bought him.
"Thanks, you guys picked it out." He giggled.
"Actually Eddie picked out all of them."
He smirked, "Ed's knows me."
She smiled, "Yeah he does." She rubbed his shoulder.
Everyone eventually woke up.
"Guys breakfast!" Richie called.
Everyone walked in except Eddie.
"Where's Ed's..?"
"Outside."
Richie nodded, "you guys eat. I'll be back."
"Seriously Rich!? You used all the eggs left in the fridge!!" Stan yelled.
He laughed and walked outside. Eddie sat on the steps, he took a seat next to him.
"Morning." Eddie said.
"Didn't sleep last night huh?" Richie asked.
"Not really.."
"It's about me..isn't it?"
Eddie looked down and sighed, "I worry Rich."
He smiled sadly and wrapped an arm around him, "Is this okay..?"
Eddie nodded.
"I'm getting better Ed's."
"I know, but just yesterday you almost killed yourself."
