Today marks ten years since Eddie Kaspbrak last saw Richie Tozier. Today is also Eddie's birthday.
Eddie Kaspbrak was and is a goody-two-shoes. At school, he handed in his work on time, followed the rules, and overall was just a good kid. And even now, at his job, he still does all of those things.
Richie Tozier was a troublemaker known for his foul humor and loud mouth. Despite being a troublemaker, he did surprisingly well in school. But one day he completely vanished without letting anyone know. The police put together an investigation but came
It broke Eddie.
Richie promised Eddie they'd spend his birthday together. Why'd he have to go?
So anyways, here Eddie was. Sitting in his kitchen at 12:30 AM. He couldn't sleep so he had decided to reread his favorite book. Just as he was about to get up, there was a soft knock at his door.
"Who the hell is visiting me at midnight?" He muttered. Eddie got up and trudged to the door in his bunny slippers and his matching banana pajamas.
Eddie swung open his door and was greeted by a tall, dark haired, lanky dude. He appeared to be in his twenties or so.
"Hello? How can i help you?"
"U-Uh.. Hi," the man said in a soft voice. "Does Eddie Kaspbrak live here, by chance?"
Eddie sighed, "I am Eddie Kaspbrak. Now what do you want?"
The stranger's eyes lit up. "Holy shit, really?"
"Oh my god, yes. Now what do you want? If you don't tell me, I'm going to call the cops."
"Okay, okay. Geez. Well I'm assuming you don't.. Remember me."
"Remember you?" Eddie cocked an eyebrow.
"I'm uh.. Richie Tozier. You know.. Your best friend?" He weakly smiled down at Eddie.
Eddie seemed a bit surprised. He paused before groaning out, " You are not Richie Tozier. He died ten years ago."
"What?" Richie laughed a bit, thinking he was joking. "I'm not dead?"
It was silent for a moment. Eddie sighed. "Come inside. If you can't explain everything that happened, I'm calling the cops on you."
Richie came inside, mumbling, "why do you wanna call the cops on me so bad-?"
They sat at the table. Eddie sat in his previous spot and Richie sat across from him.
"Sooo.. How much do you want me to explain-?"
"Everything. Why you left, when you left, how you left, why you didn't tell anyone you were leaving. I want every small detail."
