Toms' POV:

"Where's my son? When can I see my son?" I scream from inside the room i'm locked in. I'm going insane, having hallucinations. "I just want to see my son!" I cry out once more. The door slowly opens and Brenner walks in. "Like I said before, we were trying to get a hold of him, he ran off! We cannot get to him without getting those kids away from him! He won't let go of that stupid boy with curly hair and glasses."

Curly hair and glasses, Richie. "Don't hurt the boy. Eddie and the boy, Richie, have grown a connection, i've noticed." "We will do anything we can to get the kid. Anything" he shoots me a wicked smile before shutting and locking the door.

Eddies' POV:

I lay awake, staring at the ceiling, as I hear the silent snores from everyone around me. I look up at Richie. His face is still stained with tears and his face is blotchy red. He's clutching onto my waist with his head on my chest. I hear shifting coming from the floor beside me and notice Beverly's waking up.

"Hey, Eddie. Can't sleep?" I shake my head "no." "How is Richie doing?" I look back at him, the broken boy laying on top of me. "Not so good. His eyes are probably bloodshot red right now. I don't know what to do, Bev. He used to be so happy and joyful. Now he hasn't even cracked a joke in weeks. I'm worried, i'm so worried."

"Don't worry Eddie, we're going to help him. He's gonna be Richie again." I forced out a smile and looked back up at the ceiling. My head is pounding. I pick up my phone and look at the time, it's almost 10 a.m. "Hey, 'Chee. It's time to wake up." His eyes slowly flutter open and he looks down at me. "Hey, baby boy! Good morning" he says entusiastically with a smile. "Hey, Rich. You're happy today" Bill says as he wakes. We start waking everyone else up.

"We have to keep quiet, my parents are still sleeping" Mike murmered as he sits up. Richie picks me up and twirls me around the room. "What's for breakfast?" he asks with a smile. "Everyone's leaving soon to go do things, we can look for something then" Mike stated. Richie throws me over his shoulder. "Put me down!" I laugh. I hear a car engine and we all run over to Mikes' bedroom window. We watch as his mom and dad drive away. Someone else pulls into the driveway after they leave. "Who's that?" Stan asks.

"Steve" Mike replies as he rolls his eyes. "Alright Nancy's leaving, lets head downstairs." We all pile out of Mike's room and head for the stairs. We run into the kitchen and start searching the cabinets and the fridge. "What about pancakes and eggs?" Stan suggests. "I'll make the pancakes!" Richie screams with a giggle. I get out the pancake batter and the other ingredients and hand them to Richie. I wrap my arms around his waist and watch as he mixes everything together.

"Hey bubba! How are you feeling today?" he asks me with a smile. "I'm okay, my stomach hurts a bit but that's alright." "Did you eat anything yesterday?"
Pfft no. "Yeah" he looks down at me in disbeliefe. "I ate yesterday" he nods his head and smiles. If I told him that I didn't eat much he would get worried. "Eddie, sweetheart, can you get me out a pan?" "Sure, 'Chee. Mike, where do you keep your pans?" "Right over here" he walks over and points to a cabinet. I search through and grab out a pan to cook the pancakes on.

"Thank you, princess" he smiles down at me as he pours the batter into the pan. "We have to go back to the lab soon, this time we have to be more careful" I look around at everyone. Stan rolls his eyes, "you almost got fucking taken last time, Eddie. We're not go-" "Do not talk to Eddie like that again, you fucking bastard!" Richie interupts as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Listen here you fucking freak, I don't want my life to go down the drain just for you and your stupid boyfriend!" Richie twitchs his body and wraps his arms tighter. "At lea-"

"Shut the fuck up! We don't have to fucking go, we can sit here until we're all ready to go back home! Is that what you fucking wanted? I'm sorry that my father, who I thought was dead, called and was like 'guess what son? I'm not fucking dead!' So if you want my father to remain 'dead' then we can leave now. We c-can drive back to Derry and go back to our normal lives. Me and Richie will continue to hide from the cops and you guys can go back to fucking school!"

"Eddie that's not what I mean-" "Do not fucking start with that Stanley! That is what you meant. I don't need your fucking pity. I'm going to find my dad by myself, if any of you follow me I will shoot you." I squirm out of Richie's arms and head to the basement, everyone follows.

"Richie, where are the guns?" I ask as I rumage through our stuff to find them. "No, stop it Eddie. You're not going by yourself-" I find the bag and pull out a gun, holding it to Richie's head.

I stare him in the eyes. They look lifeless.

"Eddie, put the gun down, we can talk-" Beverly continues to speake but I cut her off by waving the gun at her. "B, shut the fuck up!" I slowly start backing towards the door when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

Mikes friends appear in the stairway and stare at me. "Keep your mouths shut and we won't have a problem" I cut them off before they start speaking.

No ones POV:

While Eddie is staring at the two boys on the stairs, Richie lunges at him, pushing him to the ground. "Let me go!" Eddie kicks and screams. Richie pins his arms down and straddles his waist. Bill quickly walks over and grabs the gun out of Eddies hand.

"Eddie, you are more than this. I know you. I know that you're smart. Smart enough to not do something as preposterous as this. I love you. No, no, I trust you. To me, th-that means a lot fucking more than I love you."

Eddie stares up at the boy on top of him. He lets the words settle in and he thinks. But, he starts screaming again. "No! No, you guys don't care! You guys never cared. You just want to stay home but I dragged you out here! You hate it here and you hate me! Get off of me!"

"Eddie, sweetheart, bubbles. Please listen to me. You're the only thing I got. I don't know what I'd do-" "That's bullshit!" Eddie interupts. "You're my reason, Eddie. My reason to live. God, if it wasn't for you, I'd be nothing more than bones. Come on, Eddie. We've got to stick together. We're the famous duo! Ricardo and Eduardo. Two gay men with tragic back stories. They fall in love and one of them goes crazy, grrr ahhh."

Eddie stares up at the love of his life.

"Then, he finds out his dad didn't actually die! *gasp, happy cheers, yay!"

Wondering how he got here, in this exact moment and what led up to it.

"Woah, the crazy one has a twin, lets hope he isn't crazy too."

What led up to the love of his live giving him a whole script of a made up show about them.

"Ricardo and Eduardo! Selling blue ray and dvd now."

This boy on top of him.

"Oo I want one, I want one too. The crowd cheers! Hip, hip, horray!"

He was like a magician.

"The dvds sell out fast!"

He can steal your heart, but somehow still make you live at the same time.
