Secrets [Reddie]

{21}

Richie skated back to his house as fast as he could.
The wind was flowing through his hair. A big grin on his face.
He looked at his shoes and saw that his shoe laces were untied.

He didn't give a fuck he just kept skating and smiling.
He had to get back home before it got dark for his plan to work.
Richie's Mom was at her friends house so he would be able to stay out as long as he wanted.

He arrived in the driveway when his laces got caught on the wheels of his skateboard and he fell on his face.

His lip was cut and his forehead was bruised.

"Shit" he yelled getting up.
He was running out of time.

He wiped the blood from his face and ran upstairs to his room.

He looked in his mirror.
He looked absolutely terrible and was in no state to be seen by Eddie.
But everyone knows Eddie never liked Richie for his looks.
Because most of the time Richie looked extremely bad and never put any effort in his outfit.

Richie grabbed a boom box from beneath his bed and ran out the door.
He skated all the way to Eddie's house.

He remembered hearing Eddie say something in school about his Mom going out.
So it was the perfect opportunity to go see him.

Richie arrived at his yard and just stood there for a bit.

The sky grew darker and the stars began to shine.

He was really nervous because what he was about to do took alot of guts.
Maybe Eddie didn't even want to get back together.
Either way Richie had to do this.
For his own good.

Richie stepped into Eddie's yard and placed his boom box down.
He switched a button and then the song say that you love me began to play.

Richie took a step back.

"Love me love me say that you love me" Richie sang extremely loudly.
It sounded more like screaming then singing.
Richie was a horrible singer and he knew it.
Because Stan never forgot to tell him.
But he didn't care.
It was for Eddie.

"Fool me fool me."

People walked by starring and giggling at him.
Richie began to grow nervous and a little insecure.
He thought that Eddie would of heard him by now.

"Spaghetti."
"You there."

The window of Eddie's room opened.
But it was only his sister.

"He's not here."
"Nice singing by the way."

"You heard that."

"They heard that from China. "

"Haha ok where is he."

" Where's who. "

" Eddie! "

" Oh he went to your house. "

" Oh shit, thanks lily. "

" Wait Rich."

" Yeah. "

" Maybe you would like to hang out sometime or go see a movie or something. "

" Em sorry lily I don't want to date you your just a kid" Richie said running off.

" Fine be that way" lily yelled slamming the window shut.

Richie didn't have time to deal with moody pre teen girls right now he had to go find Eddie.

As he ran home he bumped into Eduardo.

"Eddie is that you."

The small boy took down his good exposing his bruised and bloody face.
Tears trickling down his cheeks.

"I told my Mom."
