I turned to see a Eddie on the floor. 

"Eddie!" I screamed. 

I dropped down and hugged him. 

"I missed you. I missed you so much." I cried still hugging him. 

I pulled away and cupped his small face in my hands. It wasn't Eddie it was Stan. 

"I'm not Eddie, sorry." Stan smiled weakly.


a moment later I walked downstairs with Stan. 

"Hey Mal" I smiled kissing her on the cheek. 

"I'm taking Cason to therapy see you after." 

"Okay bye."

"Delilah's at the theater with Felix pick her up at six." 

"Okie dokie." 

"see you at eight love you bye." 

"Love you."

Malorie left and shut the door behind her holding Cason's hand. 

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed two icecreams and tossed one to Stan. 

"I'm on a diet." Stan said handing it back. 

"Oh your always on a diet just eat it."


I looked around nervously. I didn't know anyone. College. next thing I know i'm beating someone up. I cant quiet see who it is though. 

"Richie stop!" The boy screamed like he was about to cry. 

"Eddie?" I know that voice it's Eddie. 

Stop. Stop Richie. Stop. 


Ring. 

Ring. 

Ring. 

Ring. 

Ring. 

I woke up to the phone ringing.

Malorie and Cason slept at Casons godparents house Ben and Bev because they could.  

I went downstairs and picked up the paint peeled blue phone. 

"Hey." The voice cried. Sounding just like Eddie.

"Eddie?" I cried.

"I'm coming home Rich, I'm coming home." 

"Eddie I love you, I love you so much." 

"I love you too." 

"When are you coming?" 

" Tomorrow. Meet me at the train station 6 a'clock sharp." 

"I won't be a second late." 

"your always late." 

"Not for this." 

"Listen, I got to go i'll see you tomorrow." 

He hung up. 

I wiped away my tears. He's coming home. 

I bolted out the door to Stan's house. 

I pounded on the door. Delilah answered. 

"Delilah?" I questioned. 

She wore Felix's large sweater and Eddies fanny pack like she always wore it looked like she had no pants on. But, I was too happy to care.

Stan and Bill came down the stairs. 

"Richie? what are you doing h-here?" Bill asked. 

"Eddie!" I cried tears of joy. " He called he's coming home." 

"Richie we've been over this." Stan smiled. 

"Uncle Eds" Delilah covered her mouth. 

"Delilah go upstairs for a minute please." Bill ordered. 

Delilah ran upstairs.

Stan walked up to me and hugged me. "He's not coming." Stan said. 

"Yes, Yes he is." 

Just then the phone rang. 

Eddie. 

Bill picked up the phone and I could here the other line.

"Hey its me Eds i'm coming home." He cried. 

"Eddie."

"I gotta go but i'll see you soon." 

He hung up. 

They both looked at me shocked.
