Falling In Love | Eddie X Richie

Chapter 4 [Richie]

While I, Eddie, and Stan were walking to their classes Stan walked in and I stopped, I smiled softly and hugged Eddie.
"See you at lunch?" I asked
Eddie smiles and nods then walked into his class.

I kept smiling through the whole period of my class because I cannot stop thinking about him... one of my friends tapped my shoulder as we were walking over to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Oh hey, what's up?" I said.
They shrugged "what's up with you today?" He asked crossing his arms.

"Oh- nothing why? Was I acting weird or something??" I asked him as we walked inside I could see Eddie and his friends talking. "That's why-" he said looking at me.
"You keep on staring at that guy," he said as we walked over to the line.

"Yeah...so what?" I stuttered nervously, standing behind Eddie, and tapped on his shoulder smiling. "Hey Richie," Eddie said as he was trying to push a girl's hands out of his face.
"Come on BEEV.." Eddie said with a pouty look on his face I chuckled.

"Ok okay fine, have fun with your boyfriend" Bev giggled and got her lunch Eddie sighed as he turned a shade of pink on his cheeks and got his lunch too.

I got my lunch and walked over to Eddie's table and sat down next to him, Eddie wasn't eating at all... "hey, why aren't you eating?" I asked a bit worried.

Eddie just shrugged and just looked around.

"Come on E-Eddie y-you have t-o eat s-..something." The stutter boy said handing Eddie his water and his granola bar smiling. "No I'm not hungry but thanks," Eddie said.

Stan sighed with a frown.
"Come on- please you haven't eaten since yesterday..." Stan said, I looked at Eddie.
"You serious Eddie?" I held his hands.

"You have to eat please," I said. Eddie groaned instantly stood up from his seat "I said I am not hungry!" Eddie exclaimed and stormed off

 I looked at everyone and followed Eddie "Eddie!" I yelled after him as I kept following him. "Leave me alone! please!" Eddie hollered back as he ran over to the men's bathroom. 

 I sighed, frowning as I walked into the bathroom.  "Eddie...What's wrong? you can talk to me, you do know that...Right?" I reassured him, I crossed my arms as I stood in front of the stall Eddie was in. 

 Eddie didn't reply but I could see his feet shuffling on the ground. I sighed again, "Eddie...come on..." I said softly getting anxious. I heard the lock of the stall starting to open and saw Eddie, his eyes red as if he was holding in his tears. 

 My face was motionless as I saw Eddies...I couldn't help but hug him. Eddie sniffed and hugged me back, bearing his head into my shoulder. 

 I started slowly letting go of the hug but Eddie stopped me to hug me more. "Please..." Eddie mumbled as he wouldn't let go of me. 

 But after a while of hugging, Eddie finally stopped the hug. I smiled comfortingly as I wiped his tears, "Want to skip today?" I suggested. Eddie looked around, rubbing the back of his neck as he slowly nodded his head. 

 "Okay, Let's go then," I said, Eddie, grabbed my hand and held it for a while as we were walking to our lockers to grab our stuff and walked out of the school. 

   As we headed outside we both just continued walking until we couldn't see the school anymore. "Where would you like to go Eds?" I asked him.  "You're house?" Eddie replied with a questioned look on his face. 

 I nodded.  "Sure, but I'm not sure if my dad is home," I told him, Eddie nodded.  

***Time Skip***

We finally got to my house, I walked over to the window trying to see if my dad is home then looked inside the garage and noticed my parents' cars were both gone so we were good.

 "Okay, no one is home," I said smiling at Eddie, Eddie nodded and we headed inside. "You can just put your stuff on the table in the kitchen," I said to Eddie.  "Okay," Eddie replied as he went to find the kitchen so I waited for him in the living room slouching onto the couch. 

  It's been a while since Eddie came inside the kitchen so I started to get a little worried, I walked into the kitchen and he wasn't there. "Shit...Eddie!" I shouted, I noticed his book bag was on the table so that's good. 

 I started to look everywhere in the house for him, shouting his name. "Eddie!" I hollered, I realized I haven't looked down into the basement yet.  "God damn it..." I mumbled to myself, shivers going down my spine. 

 I hate the basement...

But I had to go down there anyways to find Eddie so I ran back into the garage to find a flashlight and then ran to the basement. My hand strolled down on the stairs of the stair poll with the flashlight in my other hand. 

 "Eddie! are you in here?!" I shouted again, I then heard something drop like a glass bottle or something. 

 I groaned irritably "God damn it, Eddie!" I shouted once more, as I hurried down the stairs. I felt a really eerie feeling......like something or someone was watching me. 

I started to look around in the basement and he wasn't in here either. "Where the hell are you Eds..." I said anxiously. 

 "Aw...You can't find your boyfriend Richie..." I heard a sudden ghostly voice as I jumped and turned to where the voice was.  But I only saw a huge dark figure standing in the corner. "What the hell...?" I said, I started running up the stairs as fast as I could, scared for my life, and slammed the door. 

I almost fell to the ground but I felt someone catching me, noticing Eddie.  "Eddie...!" I said fears in my eyes as I looked at him. 

 "Richie, are you alright?" Eddie said, putting me back on my feet.  "Y-Yeah..." I said shaking my head, trying to figure out who or what that was. 

 But I just shrugged it off.  "Come on let's go and sit down," Eddie said, having his arm around my shoulder as we walked back into the living room.
