Richie leaned towards Eddie slowly, and gave him a light kiss. Eddie was still in pain, but all of a sudden he smiled. He found his light. He kissed Richie, and Richie knew from then, he was happy. They smiled at each other, locking eyes for a while. Eddie gagged at the sight of the blood, Richie pressed the blanket against him again and they ran out together, finding the way out. The sun was clear now, they saw the light at the end.
They ran out together. Richie placed Eddie against the kissing bridge, and called for the hospital. After a few minutes, they arrived and took Eddie in. They didn't allow Richie in with him, since it was so severe. Richie cried again, and started walking home. He remembered the kiss over and over again, it kept replaying in his head. It wouldn't stop.
When he arrived home, he put on his headphones and played his favorite song, the one he was humming to. But it reminded him of the blood-curdling scream he heard of Eddie's. He couldn't get the image out his head. He didn't even know if Eddie was alive or not in the hospital.
