*HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHITFUCKFUCKFUCK!!!!!!!!!!!*

I'm am currently having a full blown crisis in my head right now.

*WHY AM I ACTING LIKE THIS?? WHY IS MY HEART BEATING SO FAST??!! AND WHY AM I SO WARM??!! AND WHT THE HECK EDDIE??? GETTING ALL CLOSE AND PERSONAL! HUGGING HIM, WASHING HIS HAIR, PLAYING WITH HIS HAIR. GET YOURSELF TOGETHER EDDIE!!! YOU HAVE A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND FOR GODS SAKE!!!!!*

I quickly walk into my room and go immediately to my desk. I pick up a picture frame and hold it up to my face. Its a picture of Sophia and me on our one year anniversary. Which reminds me that were coming up on our second. But that's not important right now, I focus my attention to Sophia.

Th-thump th-thump th-thump th-THUMP TH-THUMP TH-THUMP TH-THUMP

As I can feel my heart beat faster, I sigh in relief.

*I still love her.....I've done nothing wrong....what am I even worried about? Me and Richie are just friends...and sometimes friendships are more physical than others. I think I'm fine!*

I put the picture back on my desk, then taking my cardigan off. I turn around and walk to the bathroom connected to my room. I piss, wash my hands, brush my teeth, floss, and wash my face. With my night routine done I walk out of my bathroom and over to my bed. I pull back the white comforter and get in, getting all cozy.

Richie passes through my mind once more, but I try to ignore it as I turn to my stomach. Slowly falling into comfy sleep.

But not knowing how the night will take him, as dark clouds start to fill the sky outside his window.

~5 hours later~

!!!BUH-BOOOOOOOM!!!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

I am shocked awake by the sound of lightning and thunder, and a loud scream. Heavy rain is falling down onto my window. I burst out of bed and rush out of my room. Walking over to Richie's door, I open it quickly and walk in.

I am met with Richie huddled under the blankets in a ball. Shaking.

"Richie? Are you ok? What's wrong?" I ask as I go over to the mound in the middle of the bed, placing my hand on top of what seems to be his shoulder. He's shaking rapidly.

"Th-the stor-m." He says with a quivering voice.

"Are you afraid of the lightning?" I ask rubbing my hand up and down his arm on top of the blanket.

"All of i-it, the rain, the thunder, the l-lightning. I-its always been scar-y."

Im not entirely sure what to do, I personally love storms. There's something so calming about them. But I guess there not much I can do when it comes to soothing Richie, I'm sure ill just scare him more with things I think are fascinating about them.

But there might be one thing....

"D-do you want me to stay with y-you till you calm down?"

Richie is silent for a moment, his shaking immediately starting to calm. He then lifts from his blanket pile and pokes his head out. Hair a mess, but still flattering. He looks at me with wide hopeful eyes.

"Can you please stay." He says with a hopeful voice, hoping ill agree to my own suggestion.

"Of course Richie, anything you need." I say scooting closer to him. Getting comfy for the time I'm took my to be in here with him, till he calms down.
