Crushes

Chapter 11

Eddie walked down the hall to the living room. every one was sitting there quietly not really knowing what to say.

"Okay we should start coming up with a plan to help Richie because my mom will be home soon and anyone who is not from Hawkins can't be scene by her." Dustin said trying to start a conversation.

"Well I don't think that me or anyone from Darry can go up to their door or anything because Richie's parents would recognize us and question why were not in Derry." Ben said.

"one of us can group to the door and get him then you guys can meet us somewhere to talk some scene into him." Lucas said.

just then the phone rang and Dustin went over to answer it. "Shit my moms going to be home in ten minuets!"

"I amuse that means that we need to go down to that cellar thing." Mike said gathering his stuff.

"No, were just going to stay up here and explain to Dustin's mom why there's a random group of kids in her house." Stan said sarcastically.

all of the losers went down to the cellar and set up sleeping bags.

"Holly shit there is a hole in the wall." Mike said pulling back the tarp covering the huge hole.

By midnight all of the losers had fallen asleep but Eddie. he couldn't stop thinking about Richie. finally he got up and crept out of the cellar. he just needed some fresh air to think over all of the shit going down in his head.

"hey Eddie, you can't sleep ether?" Will said he was sitting on the steps outside of Dustin's.

"Oh hey Will, yeah i can't sleep. to much shit in my mind." Eddie said sitting down next to Will.

"Want to talk about it?" Will asked.

"you guys aren't homophobic right?"

"hell no!" Will said.

"Okay good; but i'm gay and when I came out to her she kicked me out and I have been living with Stan."

"Shit i'm sorry."

"No she was a bitch anyway... but its also Richie; I've liked him for years and before he moved there was a lot of cutting and we had the most awkward kiss ever." Eddie said, "I don't know though its the fact that I like my best friend and I feel like i'm ruining the friendship."

"I can relate to the likes your best friend thing." Will said smiling, " I have likes Mike for years but he's dating El and shes awesome so I can't blame him."

"El?" Eddie asked.

"oh shes one of our friends but her dad is super overprotective and shes home schooled so if we hang out with her were normally at her place."

"Hey we both like black haired dumb asses." Eddie said laughing.

"Mike is not a dumb ass." Will said laughing to.

"From what I heard he tried to jump off a cliff once." Eddie said.

"Well that was different a bully was attacking Dustin and said he would knife him if mike did not jump and he just... landed on a ledge and climbed back up." Will said covering up the truth about what really happened. "And Richie doesn't seem like a dumb ass."

"Then you haven't been treated to his your mom jokes yet." Eddie said laughing again, "I hope he's okay."

"About that do you have any idea why he's you know..."

"when he started cutting, no. all we know is that we really noticed it when he diapered from school."

"Random question, are Bill and Stan dating, I don't know i just get the vibe."

"Yeah, thanks for talking to me Will." Eddie said getting up.

"Any time." Will said getting up and walking towards the door.
