Eddie sat on the edge of the kissing bridge tears running down his face. why the fuck did I tell her I liked Richie. shes never going to let me come home. Why would I want to go home to her anyway shes-

"Well Well Wheezy what are you doing hear?" Henry Bowers said interrupting Eddies thoughts.

"Fuck off Bowers." Eddie said quickly wiping away his tears.

" Language!" Vic said kicking Eddies side making him fall onto the wooden planks making up the bridge.

"Aw look hes been crying," Henry said, "probably about his little boyfriend."

"What are you talking about?" Eddie asked wincing as Henry kicked his side again.

"He has no idea." Belch said laughing.

"The fags been cutting, I heard the jew boy telling B-b-b-bill about it. Their looking for you ya know." Henry said punching Eddie in the face.

"Hey! Fuck off!" Stan yelled from the other side of the bridge.

"Yeah! L-l-leave Eddie alone! Bill yelled as the two boys came towards the group of bully's.

"Lets go guys the losers squad has shone up." Henry said kicking Eddie one more time.

"are you okay Eddie!"Stan asked running over to Eddie who was wiping the blood off his face with his sleeve.

"H-he got punched in the face, what do you think Stan." Bill said helping Eddie up.

"I-i'm fine just going to be smelling blood for the next week." Eddie said laughing.

"W-why did you r-run away from you m-mom anyway?" Bill asked as the boys started walking away from the bridge.

"I got mad at my mom and told her I was gay and she did not take it well." Eddie said turning red.

"I accept you Eddie." Bill said hugging his friend.

"I'm Bi," Bill said smiling.

"Me too." Stan said smiling.

"Fuck where am I going to stay tonight." Eddie said.

"Don't worry Eddie I asked my mom and she said you can stay with us, so its fine."

The boys went up to the Urises house and Mrs Uris helped Eddie with his nose.

"Hey i'm going to go home son that my mom won't worry about me." Bill said walking towards the door.

"Bye Bill." Eddie said while stuffing his face with Mrs Urises casserole.

"Hang on Bill can I talk to you?" Stan asked following Bill over to the door.

"Yeah, O-o-outside?" Bill asked turning pink.

"Yeah." Stan said opening the door.

The two boys walked outside and sat down on the steps out side of Stan's house.

"Well, Bill I need to tell you something but I don't want it to ruin the friendship... but I want to be honest. And Bill I guess like-"

Stan was interrupted by Bill leaning forward and quickly kissing him.

Stan leaned forward and the pair made out for a while until Bill pulled away.

"I h-have to go home now." Bill said getting up. "were m-m-meeting at your h-house at 11 t-tomorrow right."

"Yeah." Stan said standing up and heading towards the door. Stan went inside and ran up the stairs and into the guest bedroom where Eddie was sitting on the bed reading a book.

"What happened to you?" Eddie said looking at Stan as he walked in the door.

"He kissed me." Stan said face planting into the bed.

"aw cute." Eddie said sadly.

"Whats wrong Eddie? " Stan asked sitting up in the bed.

"Richie's not okay is he?" Eddie asked pulling his knees to his chest.

"How did you?" Stan asked.

"Henry said something while he was beating me up, he heard you telling Bill when you were looking for me."

"I'm sorry I did't tell you earlier.

Eddie sat there thinking of Richie. he's probably sitting there cutting right now ... if he hears I got beat up...

"Eddie don't cry , tomorrow all of the losers are coming over and were going to find a way to help him." Stan said hugging Eddie who had started to cry. "We will come up with a plan and trust me your going to be important, you his best friend."

"Yeah, friend."

"He likes you Eddie." Stan said looking him in the eye.

"What?"

"He realy likes you, I don't know how you've never noticed it." Stan said.

"I hope your right." Eddie said laying down on the bed.

"I'm going to bed, see you in the morning Eddie." Stan said getting up and leaving the room.

Eddie slowly fell asleep dreaming of Richie.
