An: i'm so sorry for being inactive. So here's a long chapter to try and make up for it.

3rd person pov

Eds...

I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry...

Richie whispered, leaving eddie wide eyed and speechless.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?"

The smaller boy asked skeptically. Richie shook his head.

"No, eddie. I'm so sorry. I should never have left the losers. I should never have left you. Instead, I went with a psychopath who's best friends with a. Fucking rapist."

Richie balled his hands into fists and gritted his teeth as he thought about hocstetter. He wouldn't get away with doing this, that's for sure.

Eddie didn't know how to feel. He wanted to trust richie. But years of torment made him think otherwise.

'Run'

Is what his mind told him to do. So he listened, grabbing his shirt, and sliding off the counter before running out.

"Wait! Eddie!"

Richie yelled after eddie as he began running after him.

Eddie wasn't able to run that fast due to his wounds but he pushed himself anyway, running down the stairs two steps at a time then out the door.

Tears of despair and anger fell helplessly down richie's face.

He felt so stupid for letting himself get so low. In a fit of anger, he punched the wall.

"Of course he wouldn't just fucking trust me with an apology! With the shit i did to him, I wouldn't either..."

He told himself and closed the door, going upstairs then into his room before collapsing on his bed.

Meanwhile with eddie.

He just kept running. He couldn't stop. It's like his mind was at war with his thoughts.

God, what was he thinking!? Just, going pathetically with richie!? And showing him everything!? He was infuriated with himself.

He stumbled around, slightly buzzed from the alcohol he drank earlier.

After a bit, he managed to find himself at the barrens.

After everything they went through together. Richie left them, not looking back. Eddie couldn't just forgive him for that.

The exhaustion and pain kicked in, making eddie fall to his knees, grimacing slightly as his pants get covered in dirt.

"Gross.."

Eddie shakily took out a cigarette and put it to his lips, lighting it and taking a long drag.

"Eddie...?"

A familiar voice from behind him spoke up. Eddie got up and turned around, eyes filling with tears as he sees none other then beverly.

"Bev.."

Eddie sobbed happily and stumbled over, falling into the best hug he's had in years

"Oh eddie...."

"What happened to you?"
