Chapter 24 - He Broke It! Not Them

Beverly's POV [At Night]

Before we came to her house we stopped at my apartment to get my stuff. We got there and she basically made her mom guilty so I could stay the night.

 We went to her room and we played a couple of games and painted each other's finger and toenails. It was fun.

 It was now currently 10:32 p.m. We were laying down. "Nancy?" I said looking over at her. She looked at me back. "Yes?" She said.

 "I have something to tell you," I said. She turned to her side and held her head up with her hand giving me her full attention. I looked up at the ceiling.

 "I'm...I want to come out to you." I said. "Okay." She said. "I think...I like...You..." I said. I looked over to her blushing.

 "Like...like 'like' me?" She asked. "Yeah...But I like bill too and maybe ben...It's so frustrating." I said putting my hands over my face.

 Everything went quiet. I peaked out a little. "Thanks for telling me." She said with a small smile. "You don't hate me do you?" I asked.

 "Of course not. Nothing has changed of what I think about you." I sighed in relief and smiled a little.

 "So what made you like girls?" Nancy asked getting up and sitting crisscrossed next to me. "My dad scares me and is making me not really like guys anymore," I said.

 "Oh...What made you like me?" She asked. "You just look so beautiful and have the most wonderful personality," I said.

 Her cheeks got redder. "Thanks." She said looking down smiling a little. "I hope this doesn't change our friendship," she said. She looked up. "It would never," I said. 

Eddies POV [After Richie Dropped Him Off At Home]

I set my bike in the driveway then went inside the house. When I got inside I was greeted by my mother.

 She looked mad. I really hope she didn't see me and Richie kiss. "Eddie Bear." She said. "Yes,  mommy?" I said.

 "Did you go get your pills?" She asked. I then remembered I didn't. I grabbed my inhaler and took a puff. "No...I can go get it now." I said.

 "You better." She said. I shook my head and walked out and grabbed my bike. I got on it and started making my way towards the pharmacy.

 I got there and got my pills. I walked out and put my pills in my fanny pack and went to my bike. I went to go get on it but someone grabbed me.

 I looked back to see Patrick and Victor holding me. I started kicking and screaming. "Help!" I yelled. Patrick laughed and they threw me down.

 I landed in a giant muddy puddle. I gagged and got up. I saw Henry I turned and started to run but belch got me.

 "That wasn't cool of you to defeat me in front of everyone." He said. Belch turned me around so I was facing Henry.

 I wheezed and wanted my inhaler. Belch threw me down so I was down on the ground. Everyone held me down.

 I screamed louder. "Shut up!" Henry said punching me in the stomach. I gagged and felt weak in the knees.

 He punched me again and again until I threw up. Tears were in my eyes. He then ripped my fanny pack and dumped everything out and stomped on everything.

 He broke my inhaler and pill bottles. He then grabbed me so I was up on my feet. Tears and throw up dripping.

 He punched me and made me hunch over. I started walking he grabbed me by my hair and threw me down.

 I ended up landing on my elbow. It made a loud cracking sound. I screamed in pain and held my arm.

 I looked out and saw people walking by. "Help!" I yelled. Everyone just looked and continued walking ignoring my calls for help.

 "I think you broke his arm." Belch said. "No shit. We better go before we end up killing him." Henry said walking away.

 His gang followed him. I laid back down for a minute crying. Once I could actually get back up I looked over to where my pack was.

 The fanny pack was completely ripped open and everything inside is ruined. I then felt something running down from my nose.

 I wiped my nose and saw red on fingers. I sniffled and walked carefully to my bike. I grabbed It then carefully got on. I looked before going. I had to use my left since my right one was not usable right now.

 I stayed pretty calm the whole ride. A couple of sniffles from crying. I got to my house. I got off and dropped my bike.

 I went to the door and opened it. I shut the door and made my way to the living room to see my mother eating those fatty foods again.

 She looked up with a smile that went to shocked. She got up knocking all the foods down on the ground making a mess.

 "Eddie bear!" She said grabbing me only for me to wince at the pain. She let go and went to get her car keys.

 "What happened!?!?!" she yelled turning very upset. "They beat me up," I said trying to hold back my tears.

 She grabbed me again holding me tight. We walked outside and went to her car. We walked to the passenger side.

 She opened it. I got in and she slammed it. She started yelling on her way to the driver's seat. She opened the door and her yelling came to mumbling threats.

 "Mom-" "I don't want to hear what those terrible friends of yours did to you." She said cutting me off.

 My eyes widened. "It wasn't them," I said. "Save it! I know you're just trying to protect them so they won't get in trouble." She yelled in my face.

 I sunk down in my seat and held on to my arm while trying to hold in my tears. She drove fast and stopped when stop signs came by.

 But she didn't press on the brake lightly. She pressed on it where we almost flew through the windshield.

 I saw the hospital and I sighed in relief. Once we got there she stopped and got out. she walked over and opened the car and grabbed my arm dragging me out.

 We went into the entrance to see many people look at me. We went to the front desk and she asked for medical assistance.

 I was taken to the familiar room I always go to to be checked. I sniffled a little bit. Doctors and nurses came in and made me change into a hospital gown.

 They cleaned me up and took x-rays. They told me and my mother that wouldn't leave that I had a broken arm.

 She cried while I just looked down upset. I wasn't upset about my arm as much as my mom thought the losers club beat me up.

 I know were all rough but we'd never take it this far. I know she doesn't think they actually did it. She just wants to blame the people she hates the most.

 I got a white cast on my arm. I got everything done. At least I thought. I had to stay over the whole night taking more tests since my mother asked them to.

 My mom stayed in the room talking. All I wanted was Richie or Nancy. Better yet I wanted them both here cuddling with me and telling me everything was going to be alright.

 "Ma," I said. She stopped talking and looked over to me. "Yes?" She said. I looked over to the door.

 "The doctor was just there holding paperwork for you to sign," I said. She got up and kissed my forehead and left.

 I looked over at the phone that was close to the hospital bed. I scooted closer and grabbed it. I dialed Richie's number and held it to my ear.

 It started ringing. "Come on...Pick up..." I whispered impatiently. I then heard someone pick it up. "Hello?" I heard.

 "Hey, its Eddie...is Richie there?" I asked tapping my finger. "You're speaking to him, baby." I heard him say.

 "Can you come to the hospital. "Why what happened?" he asked with a little panic in his voice. "I'll explain when you come over. Just come to room 204." I said.

 "Fine...But ser-" I put the phone down when I heard my mom. I looked back over to her. "Are you going to go home and pick me up in the morning?" I asked.

 She looked at me sleepily and shook her head. "I'm sorry." She said kissing my forehead again. "Bye, mommy," I said.

 "Bye Eddie bear." She said grabbing her purse. She walked to the door and shut off the light and blew me a kiss goodbye.

 She closed the door and left. She used to never leave until she ate all the time and got fatter. Now she can't really sit in chairs properly.

 I started crying again. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep. 

Richie's POV

I got on my bike and rode to the hospital. I was nervous the whole ride. I finally got there and raced up to the counter.

 "Wheres room 204?" I said quickly and out of breath. The lady at the desk looked at me and looked back down.

 "The second floor to the right." She said. I ran to the elevator and clicked on the button. I ended up mashing the button just like when I play video games.

 It finally opened and I went in there pressing the button to get to the second floor. It closed and I tapped my foot till the door opened.

 I went out and walked to the right. The fourth door was there. I opened it. I looked over to see Eddie sleeping.

 I noticed little stall cuts on his face. I walked over to him and sat next to him. He moved when I sat down making the blanket expose his right hand.

 I then saw a huge cast on his arm. My eyes widened. I looked up at his face and noticed dry tears.

 I poked his nose a little and then took off my shoes. I got up and moved the covers. I got in the bed and turned so I was facing him.

 I sighed and held him close kissing his nose not wanting to completely freak out at him. He soon fluttered his eyes open and looked at me. his face became red.

 "You okay?" I asked knowing what he was going to say. "No...Henry did this to me," he said starting to cry.

 We both hugged and he cried in the crook of my neck. I was red. not by embarrassment but by anger.

 I held Eddie close while he sobbed into me. "A-a-and my mom thinks it was you and the rest of the losers club." He sobbed.

 I moved and looked at him. "Did you tell her it wasn't?" I asked. He sobbed more. "She won't listen to me." He said.

 I hugged him tightly. I played with his hair while his sobbing turned into sniffles then to nothing. I then heard his little breathing.

 He took a deep breath and wheezed but it went back to normal. I closed my eyes. I started drifting to sleep. Before I did, I kissed his forehead.

 "I love you."
