Eddie's POV

   Me stan,bill and richie where all sitting on the couch watching heathers when we heard the door open,me stan and bill looked over to see richie's mom busting through the door in a skimpy outfit beer in hand. rich sighed getting up to go bring his intoxicated mother up to her room.we all just sit in silence until
"Was that maggie?,as in Maggie tozier,the one that doesnt believe in sex before marriage" stan said with a confused look
"Y-yeah b-but sense richie's d-dad cheated on her she's b-been having issues"bill said
"Yeah"i say back I look down at the floor,but then hear richie coming back down the stairs we all look up at him.
"What are yall staring at unpause the movie"he said in his usual tone.he smiled but I knew it was fake I knew that happy expression wasnt real.
      We all sat and watched Heather's in silence,an extremely akward silence.i couldn't even focus on the movie all I was thinking about is how upset richie must be, I mean his mom is a hypocritical drunk who cant keep it together while he has to deal with her and IT,he deserves to be happy.

           Richie's POV
After stan and bill left Eddie just sat there with a guilty face.i knew he felt sorry for me.
"Hey...umm rich how long has your mom been like this"eddie said with the look of 'oh richie you poor poor child' wich really pissed me off
"Well she found out 3 months ago so yeah about 3 months"
"Oh,this has been going on for a while"
"I know you feel sorry for me" I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth "but stop it I dont need anyone's pity especially not yours ok" I hated yelling at Ed's but I didnt want him being dragged into my issues he doesnt need the extra stress
"I feel sorry BECAUSE YOU DONT DESERVE THAT,you deserve to be happy,you should not have to drag your mom to her bed,because she's to drunk.so I'm sorry but I cant help but wish you had better"he looks at me with an angry look,but not an ' I wanna kill you look' like Bowers always gives us it's a look of worry,a caring look. I just start crying,I just stand there and sob. I drop down to my knees and cry out all of my sorrows.as I'm crying I feel a warm embrace,Eddie's arms are wrapped around me.
"Its ok richie it's all gonna be ok" he whsipers.we just stay there for a while until Eddie gets up "hey my moms gonna be home in 20 minutes I should probably get going.but before he could open my door I grab his hand,I dont know why I just didnt want him to go
"Could......could you stay the night,I dont really want to be alone,ya know with my mom and stuff"
"Yeah ok let me just call my mom and tell her"
