A New Chapter

Chapter 36

Note- Omg, sorry for the wait! I have been really down recently and chose not to post as i didn't want my mood to be portrayed within the story. Even though the next couple of chapters will be a rollercoaster (that is your warning lol). Hope you are all well! Enjoy :)

Previously-

But, would it last forever?

As the group finished off their food and pack their things, Eddie slowly stood up grabbing hold of his stomach which was still stinging with pain slightly. Noticing immediately Mike held onto Eddie's arm to help balance the boy and helped him to his kart, Richie also assisted Mike and grabbed the blanket to wrap Eddie in. 

"Guys, i'm not a baby. Really i'll be fine!" Eddie pouted as the group began asking if he was okay and smothering him like his mother did, but with the losers it was different. 

"Oh you're my baby." Richie laughed, scuffling up the boys hair.

"Gross." Stan gagged from the other side with Bill holding his hand, spotting this Richie instantly pointed out that they were being a soft couple too which only got him a middle finger from both of them. 

"Come on guys lets get going already." Bev laughed, lifting her bike up and cycling away along with Ben as the others gradually followed. They all cycled to Richie's house, allowing Mike to help Richie carry Eddie into his house as the others checked him again and soon waved him off. 

"Richie, i'm still scared about what my mum is going to say." Eddie uttered, now being tucked into bed with Richie plopping down beside him and removing his coke-bottle glasses. 

"Ed's, you're braver than you think." Richie hummed, opening his arm up allowing Eddie to lay on the boys chest. "You're not alone in this, goodnight babe." 

"Thanks Rich." Eddie smiled, soon after falling asleep to the sound of his boyfriends beating heart in his hear and hand stroking his hair. 

-The Next Day-

The dreaded day had arrived. Sonia was back home and it was time for Eddie to make his way home too, luckily his stomach wasn't in agony anymore so he was able to walk however, the cute and bruises on his face were still visible (even after Richie's failed attempt at placing his mothers old concealer on them). The two boys and Wentworth began driving to Eddie's house, with Richie in the back holding onto the boys hand in attempts to reassure him, but he knew all too well it didn't help much as the boy frequently took his inhaler out. 

"Okay Eddie, i'm going to go speak to your mother and explained what happened. Don't worry i won't mention that you two are dating, i will just say a group of boys jumped you outside of the cinema and i was lucky enough to find you before any serious damage took place." Wentworth explained, with Richie smiling and Eddie nodding along nervously. Both of them were just relieved that they didn't have to explain it all. As Wentworth left the car and knocked on the door Sonia immediately answered, only to start flaring her arms about causing the two to raise their voices. After Wentworth explained (as the boys assumed) Sonia bolted towards the car, causing Eddie to flinch and tighten his grip on Richie's hand. 

"EDDIE BEAR!" She screamed, opening the door and grabbing hold of the boys arm. "What on earth happened?" 

"Mummy stop you're hurting me!" Eddie winced, as she dug her fingers into his bruised arm. "Me and Richie got beaten up outside the cinema, but they both helped me. I'm okay now!" 

"I don't believe a word off this Eddie!" Sonia let out, pulling Eddie in her directed causing the boy to let go of Richie. "They did this to you didn't they! I told you to stop hanging out with the Tozier's years ago! You're in big trouble!" 

"Stop!" Eddie let out, making Richie instantly grab hold of the boys hand again, trying to compose his anger which he wanted to unleash onto Sonia. "They didn't do it! They helped me!"

"Stop lying Eddie! Do i need to get you another doctor?" Sonia exclaimed, taking no notice of Wentworth trying to calm her down. However, it was this comment that caused Richie's blood to boil and his trash mouth spill:

"Now listen here you psychotic bitch! There is nothing wrong with Eddie and there never has been! So stop grabbing his arm and stop feeding him all of this bullshit about him being sick!" 

All four of them immediately stopped, time froze for them all and there was utter silence. Eddie let out a small smile but it soon faded after noticing his mothers face. 

"You need to fix your son!" Sonia screamed at Wentworth before pulling Eddie from the car and dragging him towards the house. "You are never to see each other again!" 

"You can't stop us!" Richie smirked, causing his dad to slap his arm encouraging him to stop. "Richie don't make things worse son." He whispered. 

"Oh yes i can, this has settled it!" She laughed.

"Settled what mummy?" Eddie cried, tears now visibly streaming down his face.

"I discussed with with your aunt. Were moving!" She smirked, causing both Richie's and Eddie's hearts to sink. 

"We're moving?" Eddie let out, staring at Richie as his eyes also began to water before Eddie was dragged into the house and Wentworth drove off separating the two.
