School Bus

Thats a long time

6 years. 6 long ass fucking years. Richie thought it would get harder and harder but it got better. At first they called each other everyday. And texted every night and FaceTimed A LOT but about a year in it just stopped. Eddie didn't know when he would be home and Richie's stand up took off at only 18. He was performing at bars and clubs cause to be honest he couldn't afford college. So he did standup and he was so good at it. He made jokes about his non existent ex or girlfriend. What was he supposed to do make jokes about taxes? Yeah no. But he couldn't be himself on stage. He would make jokes about Erica or Evelyn those were his "girlfriends". Why. Well he was still in Derry after all. Now Eddie Eddie was doing great. He was a major doctor in all of Houston and the College station area. Everybody knew him he did life saving surgeries and save lives. But not a day went by that he didn't think about Richie. It was so hard. He knew he still loved him he knew he did. The memory was a bit hazy. The only thing he remembered was the name the losers and every single memory that he eve had with Richie Tozier. But he couldn't think that way he was married. To a woman. Named Myra. Who was overweight. Ugly. Manipulating. Told him he was sick. Bad habits. Basically his mother. The thought made him shudder and chills go down his spine. They had gotten married right when Eddie got there. He missed Derry. Despite everything he missed it. He just wanted to go back. So bad it was bad. It physically hurt. His heart ached like nothing else. But then just like his mother this woman was keeping him from Richie. Every night he locked himself in the bathroom and cried while looking at pictures of him and Richie for so long ago. He really loved his job and he knew he couldn't do this anywhere else. He had to stay.
"Oh my god" Richie looked at his tour dates and city's. There it was smack dab the first one he was gonna go on. Fucking Angleton, Texas. "MARK!" Mark was his assistant who basically set everything up. "What rich?" "WHY THE HELL DID YOU BOOK ANGLETON. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU NO!!!" "Rich they're offering you $500,000 to go here. We have to go. I'm sorry I don't know what you have against this city but it's actually quite lovely. And well we get paid." Richie was worried as fuck. Like so worried. What if he was there. What if he hated him what if he found someone else. Even worse what if he didn't go there were flyers everywhere he had to have seen one. Right?
"shit..." Eddie saw the flyer that Myra had picked up from town. He recognized that man. He loved that man. His stomach exploded into butterflies and his whole face turned red. "Eddie bear." He cringed at the name. " Don't you want to go? I've seen him on tv he's very funny! Cmon loosen up!" "O-ok let's go. When is it? "It's tonight cmon!!"
Shit...
