This is a long chapter so get ready- put your seatbelts on grab some snacks and vibe
It was 5:00 AM On a weekend- Yet another week had passed since the party. Bev was smoking out on the fire escape, scrolling through instagram before coming across a post on the school's account. She shrugged, pressing play on the video before reading the caption or comments.

It was Richie-

Making out with someone
At the party

But that someone wasn't Eddie.

She stared at the screen wide eyed before frantically looking through the comments and at the caption "what the fuck what the fuck-" She repeated to herself as she read the caption aloud to herself

"School faggot sexually harassing Connor Bowers at a Halloween party! I wonder what the flamer's boyfriend is going to think..." She read in a whisper as she looked through the comments

'Cheating son of a bitch-'

'As if it weren't bad enough he's a fag'

'That's low, even for a fairy, sexual harassment?'

'I swear I didn't give him consent! He came up to me practically begging for someone to get down on- I said no but he continued! I guess the hypochondriac isn't enough for him-'

The last comment. It was posted by Connor himself-

Beverly quickly sent the link to a group chat with everyone but Richie in it before frantically calling Eddie, waiting anxiously as the phone rung

"Hello?" A groggy voice answered. It was obvious Eddie had just woken up, probably from Bevs call.

"Check the school's insta. Now. Like right now." She pretty much ordered as the group started to send back
responses to the video. Stanley just left everything on read though- so did bill."Beverly. Beverly what the fuck. BEVERLY WHAT THE FUCK" He said, his breath quickening and his words starting to sound more and more choked and frantic as she heard him open his drawer, probably trying to find an inhaler

"Hun... I'm so sorry-" She said softly as she watched cars drive by

"Bev- was this at the party? He- He cheated on me-" He started to say before looking at the comments, disgusted. A new one appeared. Posted
by Henry Bowers,

'The fag is just using the girly boy for a quick fuck- Told me himself'

"B-b-Bev-" He said, his voice shaking "I feel like i'm going to be sick- p-please come over. Bring the others please. Not Richie." He said before hanging  up.
She quickly got in her car and drove to everyone's house, banging on the door, each person coming to the door as if it were expected, fully dressed and ready to leave. She sped down the street, completely ignoring the limits until they got to the Kaspbrak's house, walking in, not even caring if Sonia was there.

"Oh, hello, why are you guys here so early?" Mrs. Kaspbrak asked as they walked in

"Where's Eddie? It's an emergency." She said as she looked around

"He's in his room dear, what happened?" She asked as she pointed towards the stairs

"I'm sure he'll explain later, do you mind if we go upstairs?" Bev asked as she got an approving nod from Sonia. They all ran upstairs, practically breaking down Eddie's door as they saw him sitting there, crying into a pillow still in his pajamas as he held his phone with shakes hands
