*Richies POV
My eyes flutter shut, my thoughts melt. The warmth growing as I lay there. Eddies soft breath hitting my bare shoulder blade making a small shiver spread.
I kiss his head once again until I too fall asleep.
*That morning*
Today is Eddies birthday, and also a Thursday.
By 7:05 I wake up. I lightly shake Eddie awake. "Eddie come on. We have school. But I don't think you should go." I whisper, pushing his brown hair back. Eddie opens his eyes, starring blankly at my chest. "Eddie I'm going to school, call or text me if you need anything. He nods.
I sit up and craw over him, standing up next to the bed. "I'll see you later, happy birthday spaghetti." I smile. He stares blankly once again at the sheets.
After a couple minutes of getting ready I finally walk out of my house, Bill and Stanley waiting outside my door. "Hi Richie." Stanley smiles. "H-Hey." Bill pats my shoulder.
We all start to walk in a comfortable silence. Stanley starts to talk about something going on at school. "So I don't understand why- Richie?" "Huh." "Your neck. What happened." I reach up at my neck, scratches going down to my shoulders.
"R-Richie what h-happened." Bill snickers. "Something happened last night, Eddie couldn't breath. He was gasping for air, clawing at anything and everything." I stare at the road as we walk.
"Is he okay? Why isn't he with us?" Stanley gives concerned look. "His...His mom passed away last night. Around 11:58 pm. He didn't tell me that but from his reaction I pieced it together." "Oh my, w-will he be o-okay alone?" "I hope so." I reply.
*Eddies POV
I stare blankly at the sheets as Richie leaves the room. The warmth I had just before I woke up gone. I sit up and stare, not speaking a word.
My eyes hurt, dry from crying. Once my mind is a perfect beach, then the storm happens. Now the aftermath. Everything ruined from the horrible storm. Waves crashing violently against the shore, the once blue sky now a grey color.
I stand up. My knees almost give out. I stay still, looking at my surroundings slowly. I walk to the bathroom. Starting my morning routine, minus the school part.
The hot water makes the mirror steam. Taking my clothes off and stepping into the shower. The hot pellets of water harshly hitting my back. Continuing my routine slowly.
