i was finishing with the last few things left in my room as most has already been moved to the new house.   as i hear a knock at my door,  i instantly freeze praying it isn't richie, or ben.   don't get me wrong they are amazing friends but my mom told us not to tell anyone outside the house that we were moving til we were done so once we were completely settled we could call everyone over.   i already slipped once and told mike cause we were talking about the apartment him and his uncle had moved into about a month or two months ago.   i slowly walk over to my bedroom door opening it slowly to see the one and only,  richard tozier

'ed's what are all the boxes' is the first thing he says

'uh,  we move tomorrow' i say sighing

'what?! you're leaving me ?!?' he practically yells

'what ?! no' i say at the same loudness

'then where are you moving too,  why are you moving,  why didn't you tell me' he says getting quieter with everyone question

'we are moving to this house my moms boss already has set up,  we finish moving everything tomorrow,  it's only like 30 minutes further from here and i didn't tell you cause my mom said not to tell anyone so it would be a surprise,   but i slipped and told mike and you know bev and stan kinda live here and bill and his family are basically my brothers and mom.  i'm sorry rich,  i really am' i say rambling

'it's okay,  i'm sorry for flipping out' he says getting up and hugging me

'what's this for' i ask

'just shut up and hug back' he says hugging tighter

'you smell good' i say but instantly blush,  pulling away and covering my face

'thanks,  it's called laundry detergent' he says shrugging

'i knowww' i say,  sitting on my bed

'so why'd you come over' i ask

'oh uh,  forget about it' he says looking down

'no no,  i wanna know,  did something happen,  are you okay' i ask

'i'm fine ed's,  really.   after i went home the other day,  yuh know the day we all like came out and shit.   i went home cause my father had messaged me. and to basically summarize why i went over to bills was because my parents were fighting. my mom not accepting me and my dad and sisters did. so i left to get air and advice. but after i went home my mom was gone but most of her stuff was still there, my dad said that she tried to make him choose me or her and that he chose-' i cut him off

'he chose you, as anybody would' i say as he smiles

'yeah he chose me. my mom apparently said something about leaving to clear her mind for a while and packed a bag. i don't think we'll see her again for quite a bit. everything's been good at home' he says

'so why'd you come over? you completely avoided that question' i say

'you wanna go see a movie with me, on monday' he blurts out

'of course, which movie' i ask

'the theater is doing this throw back thing where they'll have the shining, stand by me, et, gremlins, and ghostbusters in theater, so your choice' he says

'ummmmm gremlins' i say

'sounds good' he says

'i gotta head home, i'll see you on monday kaspbrak' he says going over to the door

'it's a date' i say as the door closes

HOLY SHIT I JUST SAID THAT OUT LOUD......
