Richie's eyes fluttered open and he yawned. He sat up.... something felt different. He reached for his glasses and felt a pain on the palm of his hand. "Ah, ouch!" He looked at the scar, oh how many memories came flooding back to him, as he put on his glasses and stood up to stretch. Richie had a feeling in his gut... but what? He started getting ready for his day, the losers had planned to meet up for lunch, he was excited! Bill, Stan, Beverly, Mike, Ben, and Eddie were his bes- WAIT!!! EDDIE!!! Suddenly Richie felt overcome with joy and happiness! I knew there was something different!!! MY Eddie spaghetti!!! I can call him that now!!! He's mine!!! Richie thought. How had he let that slip his mind? Eddie was his! But wait.... what would the losers think? What would his parents think?! They couldn't know! That's all there is to it! They can't find out.... even though Eddie is my everything and I love him. I'm not saying I'm not proud of him, trust me! I am. I'll always be proud to call him MINE (the thought made Richie smile during this dark moments). This is what's best for Eddie. If they know... my dad will kill us both. If he finds out, then I'll have to project Eddie at all cost. No matter what. I'll protect him.
      Richie got ready while still thinking about how to hind this from his dad. The losers are supportive, they'll never not love them for who they are. They love us. They do. Yeah, ok. This will be fine. Richie looked in the mirror one more time and took a deep breath. Calm down Richie, you're just about to see the love of your life for the first time since he found out how you feel. No big deal. You've got this!
   And with that... he walked out the door and towards his favorite restaurant on Main Street, Parker's general store.








This was gonna be a great day!
