Bill needs Eddies comfort

~

It's a normal Tuesday night in the Kaspbrak household. Eddie and his mother had just finished their 'ridiculously healthy' supper as Eddie likes to call it. The small boy makes his way up to his room, about to get ready to take a shower, when he hears his phone vibrate. He grabs his phone and reads what he's received- a message from Bill. A bright smile instantly forms on Eddie's lips as he opens the message to read it. But his smile fades just a quickly as it came when his brain processes the words that are laid out on his phone screen.

'I need you. Emergency.' the message reads.

Eddie's heart sinks into his stomach, he knows exactly what Bill means by emergency. The brunette tries his best not to panic as he frantically searches for a pair of shoes. Slipping them on, he locks his bedroom door and sneaks out of his window before replying to Bill.

'On my way, please don't do anything you'll regret.'

Eddie's feet scrape the concrete quickly before they pick up into a run. In a matter of minutes he's arrived at Bill's house, thankful that he lives so closely to his best friend. Eddie climbs up the side of Bill's house and in through his window, being so quiet that Bill hadn't even heard him.

"Hey," Eddie says softly, being careful to not startle Bill. Bill turns around, greeting Eddie with sad, blue eyes. The smaller boy walks up to the taller one, grabbing his hand and leading him to his bed. "What's going on?"

"I-" Bill starts in a shaky voice, trying his best to fight back his tears. He squeezes Eddie's hand lightly as he speaks again. "I s- saw G- Guh- Georgie again..." Bill looks down at his and Eddie's hands, lacing their fingers together.

"When?" Eddie shifts his body so he can look at Bill better.

"An h- hour before you got he- here,"

"What was he doing?"

Bill doesn't answer the question right away. He sucks in a deep breath and keeps his eyes glued on his and Eddie's hands. He takes another deep breath before answering.

"I just saw h- him in the hallway a- a- and he was just st- stuh- staring at me. I was too afraid to speak or move. I e- even tried wiping my e- e- e- eyes and he was still standing th- there. He just stood there for a few m- moments and then ran down the hall- hallway. I ran after him, i- into the basement and that's when..." a few tears slipped down Bill's face. He wipes them away quickly- he hates breaking in front of anyone.

But Eddie isn't just anyone.

"Breathe," Eddie says gently, rubbing his thumb across Bill's hand in attempt to calm him. Bill does as Eddie says; breathing deeply a few times and goes on to continue.

"He ran down to the b- base- basement and that's when- that's when i- i- i- i- it happened all over again!"

"What did?" Eddie furrows his brows, focusing on Bill's beautifully sad features.
