9. boyfriend came to the rescue

Unfortunately for Eddie, he was supposed to have a Chemistry class with Henry and Dorsey on Monday again.

Eddie seriously considered that he wouldn't go to school. He didn't want to deal with anything. He didn't want to see Richie and Bev, and he definitely didn't want to see Henry.

Unfortunately, Eddie knew he had no choice if he didn't want to end up in the hospital with his mother who would drag him there because she would think he was sick. After remembering what it was like with her at home every time when he was sick, Eddie immediately changed his mind. Everything was better than that.

After Eddie arrived to school, he had a History class with Ben so it lifted his spirits a little bit. They had already submitted their project, and Eddie hoped that the teacher would not want them to present their work. Fortunately, he didn't want to.

Later when the lesson was over, he told Ben he wasn't going to lunch because he had to go to the library and didn't want to go there after school. Ben believed him.

Eddie actually didn't want to go to the cafeteria because Bev was supposed to be there again, but Eddie wanted to go to the library to return a book he had already read anyway, so it wasn't such a lie.

When he was on the way to the library, he needed to use the restroom. Eddie hated public restrooms, but he knew he had no choice. Fortunately, he carried a lot of wipes and everything he needed to wipe off all the bacteria and gems.

Eddie entered the restroom, and was glad that nobody was there. He didn't want to run into someone again who would laugh at him like Vic Criss did.

Shortly after he was done, the door opened, and someone stepped into the room. Eddie was washing his hands so he turned around, and took a closer look at the person who entered the restroom. It was someone he really didn't want to see.

''No shit, look at that, the little fagbaby that ran away from me last week is here,'' Henry said, and smirked at Eddie, ''I couldn't even teach you how to properly behave, what a shame.''

Eddie immediately froze and panicked. He looked like he was dying, the same way he had looked when he had been waiting in front of the Ferris wheel. Eddie said nothing, dried his hands, and tried to leave the room.

''Where do you think you are goin'? I thought you might have learnt that from me over the years, but clearly not, maybe I should remind you.'' At that moment, Henry pulled out a knife, and put it in front of Eddie's face while he was still smirking at him. Eddie just stood there frozen not being able to say a word, call for help or run away.

When Eddie saw that Henry Bowers was holding a knife in his hand, he immediately started to back away still without saying a word. Henry took a few steps towards him, and took Eddie's hand roughly.

''I mi...'' Henry started talking, but he heard that the door opened. He stopped, and turned to look at who entered the restroom, but he didn't let go of Eddie.

''Let him go, asshole,'' Richie said while he was looking at Henry dangerously. Eddie had never seen an expression like that on Richie's face. Richie was almost as old as Henry, given the fact that he was older than Eddie and was retaking a senior year, but he was taller than Henry.

Henry was confused because he didn't know who Richie was at first, so he backed away. Then a grin returned to his face, and he squeezed Eddie even harder than before. Eddie cried out in pain.

''A little fag boy's boyfriend came to the rescue, how cute,'' Henry said with a smirk on his face. Henry, however, focused more on Richie at that moment so Eddie had a chance to get out of his grasp.
