//The fear of love// "Please don't do this. I love you." "Quit saying that!" "Why!?" "Because look at me Eddie! No one could ever love this." ~ Richie's thoughts will be in italics. *Warning* This story contains topics of sexual assault, alcohol abuse, physical abuse, mature language, homophobia, and depression. I will have some trigger warnings in the top of the chapters, but its annoying to have to put one every single time as it spoils the story.
