About: Richie has been in love with Eddie for a long time. But he refuses to accept it, and ends up hurting his beloved in the process.

3rd person POV:

Richie has been called "faggot" and "fairy" for as long as he's been in hell. Or the more common name, school. Though, of course, Richie isn't gay. Unless..

Richie's alarm goes off for him to get up, but he sleeps through it.

"Beep beep Richie!"

His mother yells from downstairs, mimicking the alarm. This woke Richie up, though.

"Ugghhh.. coming!"

Richie calls back. He rolls out of bed, quite literally. His skinny body thumps to the floor. Finally finding the motivation to get dressed, he does. Picking out his favorite Jean jacket, his grey shirt with the words "greese" printed on the front. He also grabs black jeans and throws everything on.

He stands in his long mirror, adjusting his glasses. Richie then admires the pins on his jacket. The black and yellow one saying "suck it up buttercup" was his favorite. He smiles as he grabs his backpack and runs out the room.

"Ah wait, Richie!-"

His mom calls out after the running twig.

"Sorry mom! Don't have time!"

Richie runs out of his house as his mom sighs, guess he'll have to eat his breakfast for dinner. A little later Richie arrives to the front of his school where his friends always met at before classes started.

"Hey guys!"
Richie calls out to everyone, panting. The losers all say hello back, Eddie just gives him a weak smile.

"Hey eds, you ok?"
Richie's breathing slows, stopping in front of Eddie.

"Yeah, I'm fine. And don't call me eds, dickwad."
Eddie scowls, Richie just chuckles. He knows Eddie doesn't mean anything hurtful. After all, Eds couldn't even hurt a fly.

As the losers continued to talk, Henry appeared. Henry Bowers. Henry liked to personally ruin the losers lives, over and over again. But this time.. they weren't ready for.

"Hey, fairy!"
Henry grabbed onto Richie's backpack.

"L-let Richie g-go!" Bill stuttered, only making things worse. "But I'm teaching this f-f-f-faggot a lesson." Henry mocked.

Eddie stared in fear, frozen. What was he going to do? What can he do? Eddie took a chilling step forward towards Richie.

"E-eds.. don't come any closer-" Richie warned. Eddie and Richie were best friends, two peas in a pod, bros. The bell rings, they're all late now. But nonetheless.. Henry wrapped his hands around Richie's throat.

"Ooh, look like the faggots got a fairy boyfriend!" Henry sneers, his goons standing watch so they wouldn't get in trouble. He tightens his grip around Richie's throat, making Richie gag. Tears start to form in his eyes.

"RICHIE-"
Eddie screams, seeing his best friend is in pain. Eddie glances behind henry, and non other then Bev is standing behind him. Then there was a high pitched scream, Bev kicked henry bowers in the nuts. Henry. Fucking. Bowers.

Henry screeched again, ordering his goons to help him to the car. Richie drops to the ground, immediately gasping for air. Bev sat next to him, rubbing Richie's back trying to be comforting.

"Richie! Rich!"
Eddie gleefully lands on his knees next to Richie, not caring about the dirt getting all over him. Eddie tries to wrap Richie in his arms, but Richie swats his best friends hands away.
