Everything was a blur. Richie and Stan were hoisted up on stretchers and rushed to the hospital like all the other injured students. Mike was found underneath the stairs with Beverly and Ben, only Beverly receiving considered a serious injury which was her legs being caught underneath something and fracturing bones, Mike got a hit to the head but it wasn't as bad as what happened to Richie, and with Ben he got a few scratches and bruises.
Richie woke up in the hospital with what felt like a nightmare, he couldn't move his body due to how stiff he was, his head just pounded and the ringing in his ears didn't help the headache.
His eyes shifted around the room with a blur, I think my glasses just got smashed.. heh, he was in a daze he couldn't exactly think properly. The boy groaned quietly as he attempted to lift himself to sit up but just didn't because he really couldn't, those eyes trailed down his body and made out with what he could. Both arms bandaged with only a few covering his shins.

Richie laid there and just rested his eyes until being woke to her a faint knock, Bill and Eddie walked in. Eddie scrambled  towards Richie but didn't want to hug him incase of any chest damage, "Shit rich.. you look like..."
"S-Shit, absolute shit." Bill butted in, his face gave off an uncomfortable look.
Bill hated hospitals with a passion, mainly because of what happened with Georgie when the poor boy got incredibly sick.. Just the memories completely put him off but he made himself stay for his friends.
"Wow.. thank you, didn't notice." Richie spoke with a slight scratch in his voice, "it looks like you got your head hit pretty bad.. there's a huge bandage covering your head."
Richie rolled his eyes, "I'm not surprised, fucking assholes.." the room went quiet until a sudden hit of panic shot through his veins, "where's Stan! Is he okay?!" He immediately sat up but pain just emerged all throughout his body, Richie yelled and clenched his fists while Eddie tried to calm and lay him back down, "N-No! Eds! Please! I need- I NEED to see if he's okay!!"
"Richie! Please calm down! The doctor will let us know what's going on just please calm down." Richie panted heavily as he looked at the blur blob in front of him, slowly but surely his heart rate went down to normal, he laid there looking up at the ceiling taking deep breaths.

Soon enough Mike and Ben walked in with Beverly on a wheelchair, the doctor advised her to avoid walking for a while.
Bev rolled to Richie, "you okay? We heard yelling from the other room?"
"He's worried about Stan.." Eddie answered, Mike looked at the two then at Richie, he knew what was going on as well as Ben but they didn't want to tell him the bad news, Mike hung his head and just stared at his feet. Richie sighed as a tear rolled down his bruised cheek.
And finally a doctor walked in, the attention going straight towards her, she looked at the teens one by one before speaking, "Do you happen to know a Stanley Uris?"
Richie eagerly nodded, "Yes!" Beverly laid her hand on Richie's to tell him just to settle, "yes..  we do.." Richie said again but this time softer.
The doctor looked at her notes, "Okay.. well, I hate to announce this news to you but he's gone into a coma due to loss of blood and head injuries."
"Blood loss? Wait how did he loose so much?" Eddie asked, "Well you see we inspected him and we've noticed a lot of.. cuts.. on his body, including places like arms, thighs and a few on his shoulders."
Richie just fell silent. He didn't know whether to cry or yell so loud his voice box shatters.
They all nodded, "thank you." Beverly muttered and the doctor left the room closing the door behind her.
The losers looked to one another. It was too quiet.
Until
"Why the fuck has he been cutting!" Eddie exclaimed, "Did anyone know about it!"
Richie's expression changed, he knew.. HE FUCKING KNEW AND DIDNT DO ANYTHING. He started crying.
"I should've said something.."
The attention went to Richie.
"I told him to stop... I did! I really did.. I should've spoken up sooner and fucking realised instead of being an obvious cunt!" He pulled his hands up go his face and just cried into them, despite being in so much pain he kept them there.
Beverly rubbed her forehead and sighed. She was speechless.
"Why didn't you..." Eddie asked, infuriated with anger. "I didn't realise Eddie! I'm a fucking idiot and I wish I had said something to him sooner.."
"You fucking should've Rich! If you had of pulled your head out of your ass and grew a pair of balls to fucking ask him out in the first place maybe he would've stopped!"
"Well fuck me dead Eddie you arrogant asshole you're his fuckin friend too! You could've fucked helped as well, this shouldn't be all put onto me!"
Richie moved his hands off his face and 'stared' at Eddie, "he wouldn't of listened to me Richard because I'm not a fucking crush to him!"
His face scrunched hearing Eddie call him Richard. "don't ever call me that.. but that doesn't matter if I'm his crush Eddie, you could've helped too! And as a matter of a fact all of us could! This isn't all going to be put onto me and me only!"
Eddie went to step closer to Richie but got stopped by Bill, who shook his head trying to tell him no, but as stubborn as Eddie was he pushed past Bill and got close to Richie's face. "MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH AN OBLIVIOUS PIECE OF SHIT WHO HAD A FUCKING BRAIN INSTEAD OF SEX GOING ON IN THERE ALL THE FUCKING TIME AND MAYBD IF YOU HAD PULLED YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS YOU WOULD'VE NOTICED!!"
Something shot through Richie.. triggering a bad.. bad memory..
His eyes widened with fear and was immediately stricked with tears, he flinched raising his hands turning his face away and pulled himself together, " IM SORRY!" Behind his voice was fear and pain, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.." he broke and crumbled like a piece of paper, trembling.
Beverly rammed Eddie in the legs with her wheelchair and yelled at him to get out, Eddie's jaw dropped when he realised he had caused Richie to get sent into a panic attack, so he excused himself, Bill following.
