richies pov

i woke up slowly, confused with what happened

i tried to sit up, but everything hurt and i could barley move

"richie! you're up! are you okay?" sharon, bills mother, asked

i opened my mouth to speak, but then i suddenly remembered what had happened and i bursted into tears

"hey, hey shh, it's all right, don't worry, im here" she hugged me lightly

after about a minute, i stopped crying and let go of her "w-where is eddie, bill, and stan? are they all right? and does my mom know?!"

"the boys are all right, they're back at my house, except eddie, he had to go back home, but if we haven't left yet, they'll come to see you later. i called your mom to tell her what had happened, but i told her that she doesn't need to worry and that i'll bring you home once you're out of here" she smiled

"okay, thanks" i smiled "wait, what did they tell you that happened?"

"they said you guys got beat up, im very sorry, but you'll be out by today"

"okay" i nodded my head "but that's not really why i was crying. the actual thing that happened was-" i wasn't sure if bill had come out to her or not, so i decided not to tell her "never mind"

"richie," she put her hand in mine "it's okay, they told me the whole thing, even about what they called you, and don't worry, bill already came out to me" she smiled again and hugged me again

"oh, hello! i see you're finally up!" a doctor said, walking into the room "im doctor hansen, but you can just call me heidi" she smiled brightly (im SORRY i love dear evan hansen even though it and deh aren't around the same time lmao)

"uh, hi, nice to meet you" i smiled back as i let go of mrs. denbrough

"so, you're probably in too much pain to leave now, but if you think you're ready to leave, you can just call me up here and you can leave"

"okay, thank you"

"hope you feel better!" she smiled and left

"do you think you wanna leave yet, or do you feel like everything still hurts?" sharon asked

"everything still hurts, a lot, i think i want to wait a while. what day is it, anyways?" i asked curiously

"it happened two days ago, i didn't think you would be passed out that long" she looked worried

"he kicked and punched me, a lot. once i was on the ground, he kicked my throat and i could barley breath, i thought i was gonna die. he then kicked me in the stomach multiple times and then in the head, but i could barley tell what was happening" i frowned

"well, you should get some rest, you'll probably feel better then, or do you want anything to eat?"

"im good, thank you though"

maggies pov (oohHooH)

(also this is once richie is home/ on his way home)

i sat on the couch patiently after i got the call from sharon that richie was up

i heard a car door shut, so i ran up to the door and opened it quickly

sharon was helping richie up to the door by putting her arm around him

i ran up to them and helped them to the house

we sat on the couch and talked

"the others weren't able to get a ride from zack, so if you ever want to see them, you can come over, or if maggie allows you, they can come over here" she smiled

"thank you so much sharon" i smiled at her

"no problem! i have to go now, but either of you call me if anything happens" she gave us both a hug before leaving

"im so glad you're all right, richie" i hugged him

"im so sorry, mommy" he started crying

"hey, baby, it's all right, it's not your fault"

"thanks mummy, i love you"

"i love you too, sweetie"
