It's lonely inside this mansion

A gay couple in the homophobic town of Derry is unheard of, outcasted, and a sin. One escape from that horrid place, and Richie and Eddie find themselves in love with each other. The more the relationship builds, the more Eddie has to hide from his mother and lie to her. But how far can you really go into the pit of lies before you're busted? (Completed) Note: this story is set in present day, not the 80's :) 🚨DISCLAIMER🚨 I wrote a lot of this when i was younger, pls excuse some the cringe shit I wrote when I was 12 <3

"More like she's trying to protect the outside from me."
