City Boy - Reddie

Part 13

*Eddie*

*1 week later*

It's been one week since I saw Richie. One week since my Mom locked me in my room. A sudden knock interrupts my sea of thoughts.
"Come in, Mommy," I say politely as possible. She walks in with my many pills.

"Here's your pills, Eddie-Bear." She says. I take them all in one gulp. 7 in total.

"Momma, when can I return to school?" I ask.

She doesn't answer and walks out. I find my phone from where I hid it in my underwear drawer. I haven't eaten in at least 3 days. I'm starting to feel very sick. It takes me all my strength to press call on Richie's contact. He picks up on the first ring.

"Richie, Baby, can you please come and get me? I haven't eaten in days, I'm taking 7 pills that probably don't mix. I can't stay here any longer," I cry out. I am as quiet as possible.

"I'll come and pick you up in 20 minutes. I mean, the blizzard is horrible." Richie explains.

"Richie, please wait until tomorrow. I'm not risking your safety," I whisper.

"I'm on my way. Pack a bag." Richie demands. He hangs up and I start to tear up as I pack my bag. Richie pulls up just as I finish packing. I get my shoes on and I climb out of my window. The first thing I do is run up to Richie and hug him. I locate my bike in the garage. I follow Richie as I bike to his house. When we get inside, Richie's I start to feel dizzy.

Maybe it's because of the cold.

The world goes black.

Aww, shit here we go again. Dang it self.
