*Richies POV*
The voices become louder and louder each time I blink. Slowly my eyes drift off.

I sit holding onto my knees in the white room. No one appears, I sit there. "Eddie?" I whisper. "Ed's where are you? Go to sleep. I wanna see you."

I don't know if I've caught feelings for Eddie. I know I don't but one small part of me feels like I do.

"Eddie! Come on man, I wanna talk to you. I wanna see your face. I kind of wanna kiss you again..." "huh?" I get startled by the boy who stands like some type of guard. "Why are you so tense? Relax Eddie, stop standing like that." I chuckle which makes him furrow his brows.

"It's not my fault I'm standing like this, you come into these dreams in different ways." "Oh yeah..." I stand up, starting to walk towards to boy who's mouth is tinted red.

His hickeys still there. "Eddie... I'm tired of this nightmare... I don't wanna see you die again." "Richie I'll be fine." He smiles as he looks around. "Does it hurt you?" "I rather not answer that question." He looks away.

"Please?" He looks at me with a worried face, I realize my eyes have tears forming.

"Yes Richie, it does hurt. It's hurts a lot but it only happens for a couple minutes." "What do you mean it only hurts for a couple minutes?! It shouldn't last for that long!" I throw my arms in the air.

"Richie I'm fine, I promise you."

I walk towards him. The pain I've seen in his eyes multiple times appears. I shake my head no as I try to run to him.

I open my arms out as I run to him. As I reach him it's like he went through me. I turn around as he starts to scream, more blood than usual comes out of his mouth.

He drops to his knees as the blood makes a pile on the floor. All I can do is watch. "Richie please! Please help me!" His screams louder than usual. Finally he goes limp. I walk over to him, finally able to touch him. I crouch down beside him, putting an arm on his shoulder m.

"I'm sorry Eddie." His eyes follow an imaginary line up to me before they close. I fall backwards into someone's arms.

The drag me once again. I wake up in a cold sweat. This time, I wake up in the same room.
