This spans from the day after eddies bitcchy mom found out he was gay, till the overdose, and I didn't know how to say that without writing a legit paragraph in the title(lmaooo) so here we are. 

————————-

Eddie felt absolutely horrible. He knew that he'd probably really hurt richie... Richie Tozier, the boy he'd loved since he was ten, Said he'd loved him. And he'd hardly responded, before hanging up. But he had to. His mother was watching, listening, and he'd said Hingis, things that could potentially ruin his relationship with Richie. All because his mom, apparently, was a homophobe. 

He supposed that she'd put him on a new medication, if he was extremely lucky. But he internally knew that it would be more than one. More than he could handle. She'd put him on some emotion numbing drug, one that could probably really screw him up, forever. Worst case scenario she'd try to send him somewhere, to some nuthouse in god knows where. 

He hadn't eaten since the morning of yesterday, nothing but the pills that he hadn't taken since the day he'd left, three months ago. He'd been alone in his room with only himself to talk to, trapped in thoughts of breaking richie, of being trapped in his horrid baby blue bedroom for eternity, and then some more logical, and probable things. Those seventeen pills that he'd been forced to take daily( his mother pushed the bookshelf away from the door every few hours, when he has to take his pills, carrying a tiny glass of water and the tiny capsules in hand. Then she'd stare at him until he was forced to swallow them, just so he wouldn't have to look at her) he figured that, since his body had gone off schedule, since he hadn't taken the pills for so long... he thought that it might be just too much for his body to handle. Given that he was taking them on an empty stomach wasn't very helpful either. 

Sonia eventually came in carrying a plate of cold leftover meatloaf, and raw broccoli for him to eat, and though the thought of cold meatloaf wat revolting to him, he scarfed the food down quickly, having not eaten for close to forty eight hours. 

~ timeskip to three days before the overdose~ 

Four days had passed, filled with the joys of cold leftovers, swallowing pills, and then.... no... that was it. Eddie had his comic books, but he couldn't focus on them. He had notebooks to write or sketch in, though he wasn't particularly good at either, but he didn't feel like it. All he wanted was to laugh with Richie, to talk with bill. something! 

Eddie was lost in thought when Sonia came barging back into his bedroom, a smile plastered across her face. 

"Eddie! I've gotten you some new medication... theyll help fix you.. and soon you'll be allowed out of here okay! Wishing the next few days... I don't expect immediate results, though that would be lovely..... are you alright Eddie bear.... you look a bit pale!l she shrugged, swirling the colorful tablets in their dreadful orange containers. 

Eddie just looked at her, with round doe eyes, and a quiver to his lip.

Eddie had resorted to hiding his pills underneath his tounge, then gulping a bit of water. It looked believable enough, and he didn't have to let the medication get into his system, and it was efficient other than the bit of it that would dissolve, leaving a bitter taste on his toungue. It was better than swallowing them though, it was. 

By this time a full week had gone by, dragging ever slowly. Sonia had come waddling into his room once again, the entire rainbow of a whopping twenty one pills in her hand. Eddie looked at her worriedly, hoping he wasn't meant to swallow alll of them, as that number was far too much to hide under his toungue. 

"I will be going out today Eddie bear. So o want you to swallow all of your pills now.... I want to be sure you'll take them... and I don't want you to stay here alone, so I'm sending you to the denboroughs... you're to stay over night." 

Eddie smiled at the prospect of being at bills house. Maybe he could even borrow a telephone to call Richie, alpologize and explain.. 

Sonia threw her hand into eddies face, shoving the pills right under his nose. He backed his face away from her sweaty hand, and cupped his hands to take the pills. He pursed his lips and squeezed his eyes shut, before swallowing the pills, one by one. 

Apparently Sonia had prepared Eddie an overnight bag for bills, and she was already dragging him out the door, and into her car. 

As they neared bills house, Eddie felt happiness bubbling in his throat. Laughter. He figured it was the simple fact that he, Eddie Kaspbrak was free from his mother, for hours, hours! 

But it was something much more. 

Sonia looked down at her silver watch and gasped. 

She pressed a wet kiss to eddies forehead and rushed him out of the car, with a shout of 

"Be safe!" 

And she was gone. 

As Eddie entered the house and met eyes with bill, he couldn't help it. He giggled. Then he laughed, just the prospect of being at bills house after being trapped in his baby blue prison for so long growing more hilarious by the second. He didn't notice the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, or the nausea growing in his stomach, until his knees buckled and he fell to the ground, throwing up all over the rug in front of bills front door. Then everything went black, as he felt arms being wrapped around him, and heart the faint Potter patternof footsteps running to get a phone.
