"ok let me get this straight that was a break up" Mike asked really confused.

"Em I think so"Bev replied.

" W.. well we have to go.. go make sure there alright."

"Yeah there the best couple I've ever seen"Mike smiled.

Stan looked at Mike harshly.
" Excuse me."

"Stan we c...can win this argument l.... later we gotta go make sure Rich an....and Eddie are ok."

" Ok. "

" Mike and be....Ben you come with me t.....t....to find Eddie and Bev and Stan go f..f..f..find Rich. "

" Ok. "

They all went off there separate ways.

Stan and Bev found Richie under the bleachers of the football stadium.

He was smoking a cigarette and crying.

They had never seen Richie this sad.
I mean they have seen him cry before but never this sad.

They both sat down on each side of Richie.

Something really unexpected happened next.
Really unexpected.

Richie burst out crying and began to hug Stan.

Stan didn't know what to do.
The last time he and Richie had hugged was when he fell of his bike and Richie helped him up gave him a plaster and a big hug.
Richie was nice back then.
When he wasn't an ass.
But even if Richie was an ass Stan still loved him.

So he hugged back.

Bev joined in to.
She kinda ruined there moment but it was fine.

"I don't know what to do" Richie cried.

"You broke up sadly there's nothing to do"Bev said rubbing his shoulder.

" Well maybe we made a mistake I should go talk to him."

"Rich you guys just need some space you'll be back together in no time "Stan said comfortingly.

" Thanks Stan."

"Ugh Eddie is such a dick" Bev said.

"What!

" Oh come on Rich you guys got in an argument and broke up because he wouldn't tell his Mom about you that's pretty selfish if you ask me."

" Yeah she's right Rich."

" Yeah I guess"Richie mumbled.

" Come on let's get some food"Stan said.

" Sounds good to me."

" But what if Eddie........."

" Stop thinking about Eddie and start thinking about Richie."

" Em ok."

" Let's go."

Stan took Bev and Rich by the hand and led them to the nearest MacDonald's [that was pretty much the only decent place to eat that wasn't expensive]

Meanwhile Ben Mike and Bill were in the library talking to Eddie.

"Ok explain to me what happened" Mike asked.

"Well Rich was pressuring me to tell my mom about us and I just wasn't ready yet and he got mad but then he got really mad today at the cafeteria and he was stressing me out and I just couldn't do it any more."

" Oh sorry Eddie"Ben said patting him on the shoulder.

" Yeah sorry Ed"Mike said giving him a hug.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Bill yelled.

Everyone turned there heads.

Bill scooched over to Eddie as he was going to give him a hug but instead he slapped him in the face.

"Oww what fuck Bill."

"You and Richie are ment to be together forever and he asked you to do one simple thing and I know you didn't want to but have you ever thought about how much Richie sacrifices and does for you for fuck sake he got beat up by his step dad for you Eddie stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about Richie."

Everyone was surprised he didn't even stutter once.

"Wow."
"I never knew you felt that way Bill."

"Your Derry's power couple you can't break up."
" Just don't tell Stan that."

" I won't"Eddie giggled.

"Ok now go find Rich."

" Ok."
