He sighed looking at his knuckles, then got a call. His father. "Here we go.."

Hello...?

Where the hell are you?! Get your fucking ass home now!!

No.

What did you say?!

Forget it, I'm not coming back.

You can't hide forever, you know the punishment.

I do, but I'm not coming back.

Scott overheard yelling and looked through the creek of he door. Richie nearly on the verge of tears.

Oh yeah? Where are you gonna fucking go?!huh?!

I don't care, it doesn't matter as long as it's not with you!! God what the hell did I do to you, to make you fucking be this way.

You were born that's the fucking problem! Me and your mother were drunk-

Yeah that's not new, you guys are always fucking drunk-

You weren't supposed to be born!!!

A tear ran down his cheek.

You're a fucking mistake, don't you get it?!

Why can't you just love me?! I'm still your fucking son-

I will never love a son who likes his own gender. Faggot. Yeah, you didn't think I'd really find out about that?! And your self harm? Yeah you're fucking messed up just like your friend of y-

Eddie is not a faggot!!! 

His father wanted to interrupt but he stay still, and continued listening. He couldn't believe Richie had to go through this.

Don't you fucking dare call him that!! Got it you fucking c-

Or what?! Huh?! What are you gonna do?!

I swear to god I'll fucking kill you-

You'll kill me?! I think it's the other way around, cause you're weak. Always have been, and you know what? Even though that kids a faggot he'd never love you-

I said don't fucking call him that!! He threw his phone as if it would do anything. He sighed and picked it up.

I'm not coming home, not like it is anyways. He hung up. He breathed out, tears flowing down his face. He then got up and exit the bathroom, but Scott stood there.

"Hey kid..."

Richie looked down. "Y-you heard everything didn't you...."

"You can stay here.."

"W-what?"

"You don't have anywhere to stay, you can stay here...I'm sorry you have to deal with that."

Richie smiled and unexpectedly hugged him.

His life is hard, he's just a kid. Poor thing. He pat his back, "I think you should talk to Eddie about this."

Richie nodded, "thank you..." He walked into Eddie's room.

"Hey Rich? You okay?"

He closed the door and didn't say anything, that's when he got a good look at him.

"Richie?!" He rushed up to him and held his face.

Richie hugged him tightly, after a couple minutes they broke from the hug. He sat him down on the bed, Richie saw him crying.
