Hi! Just a couple things before the start of the chapter:

1. Things are crazy in my house. My dad came into contact with someone with COVID and now he's coughing. So that's fun.

2. 10k?! WTF THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH 🥺🥰

3. This chapter is a filler, so it's gonna be shitty. But it's really important for future chapters that I hope are gonna be REALLY good

4. I have so much fricking homework ugh now onto the story!

⚠ stalking ⚠

*Richie's POV*

Eddie sighed and left the room to get me a water. He said I can't have any beer, which makes me mad.

But when he stood up, a piece of paper fell out of his back pocket. It looked new, it was only a little crumpled.

Dear Eddie                                     Jan. 14

It's dated from a couple months ago...it's already March. Did Eddie just get this, or has he had it for a while?

I wrote a little song for you, my love:

They call it creeping, I say loving, it's the only way for me
Filling out papers, signing waivers but I stay outside his reach
I name your mother and your father and the first pet that you keep
I know your favourite place to dine at when your cheque comes in each week
I know you do your wash on Sundays and you separate your whites
And that your car needs a new tire cuz last week I laid those spikes
I've got a million polaroids with all the dates penned in red ink
I sneak a walkie-talky in your room to listen to you sleep

Who the fuck would know this stuff?! January 14th was around the time when Eddie was first moving into my apartment. And I remember all of this stuff happening...

You just don't know it yet but you love me and I love you the same
One day we'll have a pretty wedding and I'll be your everything
We'll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part
Oh you don't know it yet but baby I've already got your heart

Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind
I'm sure if I sat down and asked you, well you really wouldn't mind
You've got those eyes that drive me crazy, and I've got eyes to watch you sleep
I brought a pack lunch and some coffee for my stakeout in your tree... outside your house
Gotta be as quiet as a mouse, or else you'll call the police
And I'll get done for somethin' stupid like disturbance of the peace
And piece by piece I am collecting all the things you leave behind
And when you don't I rummage through your bins to see what I can find

You just don't know it yet but you love me and I love you the same
One day we'll have a pretty wedding and I'll be your everything
We'll be together, yes forever, we will never ever part
Oh you don't know it yet but baby I've already got your heart

My heart started beating out of my chest. Dan did this, it's obvious. But why? Is he making this stuff up, or is he actually stalking us?!

Did you like my song? I hope so. Soon enough, I'll get rid of Richie. Then, we can finally be together again.

I love you so much,

Dan

"Whatcha reading?" Eddie said as he walked through the door.

*Bev's POV*

"Babe...?" Ben knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah," I wiped my eyes quickly, keeping my head down on my knees.

The door creaked open and I heard Ben walk in. The mattress dipped next  to me and I could feel him arm wrap around my shoulder.

"Everything's gonna be ok, Bev. Dan's gone, he can't hurt you anymore."

"I don't care about him anymore..." I sighed. I know Ben won't understand what I mean unless I tell him what's going on. "I just want things to be normal again."

"I know, baby, me too..." Ben kissed my forehead softly.

"Knock knock," Mike said and walked in, Annie following close behind. Ever since we got to the hospital, those two have been extra close. They asked to be in the same room, and they cuddle all the time. Richie's already making bets about them.

"Hey guys," Annie smiled. "Feeling any better, Bev?"

I nodded and smiled, even though it wasn't true. "A lot better."

"Good! I'm glad."

"Woah! Looks like we got lucky! 4 in the same room!" A random lady walked into the room, followed by two men and Dan.

"Ok. I'm sorry. Now can we leave?" Dan sighed.

"We still have to visit Stanley and William, and that's not a real apology." One of the men said. "Hi, I'm Gary."

"I'm Jill!" The lady smiled. "And that's Todd!"

"Well golly, I could've spoken for myself!" The other one, Todd, said.

"Why is that fuckhole here?" I growled. "Pardon my French."

"You're just upset that Ben's the father and not me," Dan mumbled. "I'm thinner, he's just a fatass."

"Oh fuck you." I rolled my eyes.

"Don't mind if I do fuck you, slut." Dan smirked and started walking towards me.

"Now, now. Settle down, Daniel." Jill said nervously. I could see her start to sweat. "We don't need another rape allegation against you."

"Right-o Jill!" Todd added. "Now let's get to it."

The next couple chapters keep posting out of order. The actual order is this:

Unity of Hell

Things Will Be Ok...Right?

Okay Again

A Crack in the Glass

More Sadness, Who Would've Guessed?

My Icy Heart! It's Melting!
