{Part Two}

~~~~~

Bev looked at Stan before slowly approaching Richie.

Richie jolted suddenly, vision blurry.

"Where's Eddie's room?"

"Rich-"

"Where's Eddie's room?!" he shouts violently.

"Richie... there's something you need to know." Mike stepped forward, reaching his hand out to touch Richie's shoulder.

Richie move out of reach and stood up, stumbling past the nurse.
"M-Mr. Tozier, please come back!"

"No, lady! I gotta see Eddie!"

"Tozier!
Richie sighed and turned on his heel.

"Your 'Eddie' has got quite the concussion. So if you don't mind, if I were you, I'd let him rest," the nurse snapped.

Richie rolled his eyes. "Okay, so when will he be awake?" He walked back into his room and laid down on his hospital bed.

"Soon, the nurse replies, pulling the machines back to where they were before. "He's fine, hun. Don't worry, your boyfriend will be up soon."

Richie choked on air. "H-He's not my boyfriend..."

The nurse's eyes went wide as she stuttered. "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry, sir! It's just, you seemed so concerned. Wow, I am so s-"

"It's fine, lady, he's not my boyfriend... yet." Richie cracked a smile.

The lady blushed. "Awwe, that's sweet. I'll check up on him."

"Thank you, ma'am." She nodded and walked out of the room.

Richie's smile faltered as he stared at the three other figures in the room.

"Uhh... hi?" Richie mumbled, trying to advert the awkwardness out. He got two smiles and one big, hard, glare from the other.
"Stan, Mike, Bev... nice to see you all here. Why exactly?"

They all looked at each other, until Stan groaned. "Fine... I'll do it."

Richie raised an eyebrow at him.

"As much as some of us fucking hate you, asshole... we, well... they were were very worried."

"Stan-" Mike's voice was stern.

"And I guess I was too. I mean, I kind of missed your kinda beautiful face, and your jokes. But I still hate you for what you said to me."

Richie was taken aback. "Stan? Thinks I have a beautiful face? Never heard that before."

Stan's face reddened. "Bill is next door, asshat! Don't make me call him."

Richie threw his hands up. "Alright! Anyways, thanks for sticking here with me, guys. It means a lot for what I've done to you all. And I'm really sorry I didn't come back to the gang sooner. I really wanted to, it's just-"

"Rich! Eddie woke up when you were asleep. He told us, well... parts of why you never came back to us. So for now, since you're okay, we're just waiting for Eddie to wake up so you can talk to him. And all of us, because Bill and Ben are the only Losers that Eddie told what was going on."

Richie nodded. "So, are we good?"

Beverly sighed. "With me, yeah , of course. You may have been an asshole, but you were just looking out for Eddie."
