Rain Fall

3

September 1st. This day seemed to be the start of fall. Richie loved fall. It was the time that he felt most comfortable.
"What are you guys going to be for Halloween?" Stanley asked while they walked or school.
"I don't know yet but we could all go in matching outfits!" Eddie said. Richie thought Eddie meant like pancakes bacon and eggs
"Like we could be werewolves or Harry potter houses!" Eddie said excitedly. Stan thought of being those for halloween. It sounded fun but what would anyone else think? So what? They could be whatever they wanted right?
Once they where at the school they very carefully walked in an attempt to stay away from Bowers. Eddie has his arms linked around the two boys arms and his heavy backpack filled with books,and pens, and pills was harsh on his back. The three split up and where on with their day. It was the normal day. The same thing happened yesterday and the day before. The end of the day finally came, Stanley sat and starred at Richie and Eddie as he wrote. Bev sat next to him this time. She sat there and waited until they left for their pick nick. Stanley turned to Bev and blurted out
"I think I'm in love with them" Bev looked confused, like it wasn't obvious who he was talking about.
"Who? Richie and Eddie?"
"Yes! I know they're dating each other but-" Stan cut himself off as if something just stabbed him in the side
"Oh sh*t" Stanley sighed
"Stan," Bev paused thinking about what to say.
"I understand. You like both of them equally. Right?"
"Yes..." Stanley let his neck fall backwards with a harsh thud on back of the bench behind him.
"Well..." Bev started but never finished. She grabbed her stuff and pulled Stan along. The grey clouds above them seemed to frown at Stan. They got to where the pick nick was and she sat Stanley down.
"Spill your guts." She said giving him the look.
"Well I think I've liked both of them for so long and I-" Stan burst into sobs. Bev let him cry while he explained his feelings while he shoved a PB&J in his mouth.
"I don't want to date just one of them I want both of them at the same time and I-" Bev gently rubbed his back, comforting him.
"You want to be in a poly with them"
"A poly?" Stan looked up from his hands
"It's when more than two people are in a relationship" Bev explained
"No sh*t Sherlock" Stan said annoyed with himself. Stanley Uris collapsed in Bev's lap looking for comfort. Bev rubbed his back as he cried himself to sleep.
