"W-where is everyone..?" He said quietly.

"They went out, to grab some things."

"Oh, okay..."

Bev bit her lip, then sat next to him in the hammock.

"Are you okay..?" She rubbed his arm.

"Sorry that was a stupid question.."

"Rich, You know we aren't mad at you right?"

"You, you're not?"

"No of course not."

He gently hugged her, "I'm sorry..."

She looked down at him.

"I'm sorry about everything..fighting with you guys, with Eddie.. Hurting myself, but it's my fault I'm like this..and I know I keep saying sorry for hurting myself but I keep doing it..I don't know what's wrong with me...."

She wrapped her arms around him.

"M-maybe I should just face the truth, I need help..I need to get better..but I can't do it without you guys..and I'm just so sorry for pushing you away.."

"I love you Rich." She tightly hugged him, tears falling down her cheek.

"Love you too."

"C-can we talk about your wrists..?"

He sighed, "Yeah."

He took off the bandages on his wrists and showed them to her. She held onto his hands, and observed them.

"Your knuckles..." she said quietly. She turned them over and looked at his wrists.

He sighed deeply, and avoided eye contact with her.

"Come here.." she hugged him.

"How do I get better Bev...?"

"We will help you, okay? Just please, promise me you won't do it again. Please.."

He nodded.

"I don't want you being by yourself for awhile, okay?"

He nodded once more.

"Bev...I'm scared.."

"Of..?"

"Eddie.."

She looked into his eyes, wiping the tear off his cheek.

"I wanna be with him...I really do..but I'm so so scared of being hurt again.."

"He won't hurt you again. But right now we need to focus on you getting better."

"Okay."

"C-can you call him..? Tell him something."

"Yeah, what do you want me to say?"

"Uhm, uh.. never mind.."

"Okay."

"I'm sure he'd like more Hawaiian shirts, they're his favourite." Eddie said, picking out a couple.

"Try one on Stan, I wanna see." He giggled.

Stan slipped it on, "I look stupid."

He laughed, "Suits Richie then?"

"No he looks stupid wearing it too."

Eddie laughed.

"How about you put one on? I'm sure Richie would love it."

Eddie rolled his eyes. "I'm good."
