Secrets [Reddie]

{4}

Once Richie got home he face planted on his bed as usual.
He grabbed his guitar and began to play one of his favorite songs.

Know one new he could play the guitar except his mom.
Richie felt like if he told his friends Stan or Bill would make fun of him.

And he really didn't want another reason to be made fun of.

"Bought to tickets last September la la lah lah la."

Richie's mom popped her head into his room.

" What are you singing"she asked with a smile on her face.

" Oh just a song I've been working on" Richie said smiling.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Steven will be back in a couple of minutes."

"And he would freak out and call me gay if he saw me with a guitar"Richie said with a disappointed look on his face.

He's not wrong he though to himself.

"Mom why do you stay with that asshole."

"Richie we've been over this ever since your father passed we haven't had alot of money and Steven provides for this family a keeps a roof over our heads and he's not an asshole he's just a little eccentric."

" So you just stay with him for his money" Richie said with a smirk.

" Look rich I can't have this conversation again just put away your guitar and do your homework"Mrs tozier stormed out of his room and slammed the door.

Richie dropped his head into his hands. A tear rolled down his cheek he missed his dad.

He missed him a lot.

And was very disappointed to call Steven his "step dad"
