"I know Rich, i know." Wentworth softly replied, as the two stood their waiting for the doctor to arrive and Eddie to wake up. 

As soon as the doctor arrived he rushed to Eddie, who was still unconscious. After an examination of the boy he was certain he was okay. "Bruising will come out, but the cuts are not deep and he will wake up soon. Of course he will be rather shaken up and possibly vomiting, but he is not seriously injured." 

"Thankyou again." Wentworth sighed of relief, leading him out the door. Richie dashed to Eddie and sat by his side on the floor, leaning his head on the boys chest. After quite some time, Eddie began to stir causing Richie to flinch and look up quickly.

"Eddie!" He exclaimed, seeing the boy open his eyes slowly and sit up groaning in pain. "Take it easy babe." 

"Richie, are you okay?" Eddie gasped, seeing the boys red face and dark circles under his eyes. 

"Ed's i'm fine, don't worry about me idiot!" Richie smiled. "Are you okay, how are you feeling?" 

"Shit." Eddie let out, grabbing his stomach in agony. "My stomach fucking hurts and my face stings." 

"You're up Eddie!" Wentworth smiled, causing Eddie to blush realising his poor language.

"Yes S...sir, sorry for my language and all of this mess." Eddie uttered, lowering his head slightly in embarrassment. 

"Don't be silly Eddie, those assholes caused this. Swear all you want its a shit time." Wentworth assured him. "I'm going to head to bed, busy day an'ol. Will you both be okay together?" 

"Yeah dad." Richie smiled, sitting next to Eddie on the sofa. 

"Okay, i'm upstairs if you need me." He waved the two off, wishing them a goodnight.

"Uh...Richie." Eddie let out, looking rather pale. "I think i'm gunna be si-"

But before he could finish, Richie ran to the kitchen to grab a bowl and place between Eddie's hands allowing the boy to throw up, whilst Richie rubbed the boys back lightly. "I'm so sorry Eddie." 

"It's not your fault." The boy sighed, lifting his head and wiping his mouth. "The movie was great by the way." Eddie laughed.

"I know right, personally i thought the adverts were the best part." Richie chuckled back, glad to see Eddie feeling a little better. "I am taking you there again and we will actually watch the film this time!" 

"Yeah, more than just the adverts." Eddie smiled. "Rich i'm really tired." 

"Me too, want to head to bed?" Richie suggested. 

"My stomach hurts too much, can we just stay here?" Eddie muttered, leaning onto Richie's shoulder. 

"Sure thing Ed's." Richie smiled, sitting up and grabbing a blanket for the two. Richie laying on the sofa with Eddie sprawled on top of him with the blanket laying on them. Eddie soon fell asleep, scrunching his nose ever so slightly when his stomach began to hurt. 

"Happy anniversary babe." Richie uttered, kissing Eddie on the forehead and whelling up slightly. 

The morning sun soon shone through the living room curtains, Richie's dad seeing the two passed out on the sofa snuck off for work early not wanting to wake them. Eddie, who was now curled up in the corner of the sofa and Richie laying half of the edge were sound asleep, i was the sound of his dad's car engine going that woke Richie up early. Jumping up, he first laid his eyes on Eddie who was holding tightly to his stomach and the bruises forming on his small freckled face. 

"Hey, Bev." Richie whispered, holding the phone close to his ear as he headed out the back garden. "The others with you?" 

"Yeah, we all went to the quarry and gave you two the space you wanted. You okay?" Bev replied, whilst the other boys played in the water. 

"Not really, can you put me on loud speaker so the others can hear me?" Richie muttered, trying not to cry on the phone. 

"Sure thing." Bev uttered, already knowing something bad had happened due to Richie's tone of voice. "HEY EVERYONE, RICHIE IS ON THE PHONE AND HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU." Bev shouted on the other end. "Okay, you're on loud speaker. Shoot." 

"The anniversary sucked." Richie sighed, the others listened in silence and Richie began recalling the events that had panned out yesterday. ".....So yeah, he's now on my sofa in agony." 

"Richie we're so sorry." Ben uttered from the other end and the others hummed along. 

"Them fucking assholes!" Bev gritted her teeth. 

"B...But your anniversary i..is not o...over yet." Bill let out. "I h...have an idea, w...we'll b...be there in an h...hour." With that he took Beverly's phone and hung up on Richie, unable to stop him Richie simply put his phone in his pocket and made a hot drink for Eddie and himself waiting for the others to arrive.
