* flashback to one day before Eddie and Richie met at the lake*
*Eddie*
I was thinking about how i was gonna miss Richie during the summer and how much i wanted to stay with him instead of going to that stupid vacation with a bunch of stranger-ish people when my mom called me downstairs
-Eddiebear can you come downstairs for a second
- i'm coming mom- i said slightly annoyed
- so you did you wanted to talk to me about mom?
- you remember your friend Katie? The girl you used to play with when you were little ?
- Kate Evans? Yeah i remember her why'd you bring her up ?
- she's the daughter of my friends Addison and Alfred Evans remember the friends we're going vacation with
- your point
- well she has a huge crush for you
- so ?
- we decided you two are gonna get together
- what do you mean "you" decided
- what you heard it could be good for our family and it would bring us closer
- but it's my life
- yeah and it's about time you get a nice girlfriend what are you waiting for
- well maybe i don't want a girlfriend
- what are you taking about every nice boy like you should get a girlfriend at your age
- well i don't and i don't wanna be with her
- you will because i said so, beside why would you
- because i don't like her
- how do you know that ? You don't even know her
- exactly how could i like someone i don't even know
- I really don't see the problem she's a good girl, she's pretty and she has a good family why wouldn't you every boy should fall for her
- yeah well I'm not like the other boys
- what are you saying you're a normal boy with a normal and perfectly safe life that is about to get is fist girlfriend
- how many times do i have to say i don't want a girlfriend
- But why Eddie why all this drama about one girl
- BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE GIRLS- i yelled mostly without thinking about what was I saying
- what did you just say ?
- that i don't like girls i'm gay mom
- no you're not
- what do you mean "no i'm not"
- this kinda thing doesn't exist it's just some bored boys who decide to try something new but then they get bored and go back to girls again
- that's not actually how it works mom
- yeah you're just bored so you chose that right now you don't like girls
- it isn't a choice mom this is who i am i don't like girls i like guys just accept it
- you weren't like this i don't even recognize you anymore
- I'm the same person i've always been you were just to busy with your own business to care about me
- how do you dare speak to me like this
- Well my boyfriend- i said marking the word boyfriend- taught me to stand for my grounds and for what I think it's right so i'm following his advice
- what did you just say?
- I have a boyfriend mom and i want to be with him i don't want a girlfriend okay
- I don't know what you've done to my son but things are going to be different from now on first you are going to ask Katie to be your girlfriend
- but I have a boyfriend mom i can't just- she didn't let me finish the sentence
- that's why you will break up with your so called boyfriend
- you can't ask me to do that i love Richie and I-
- I can and i am you will end your "relationship" with him and if you behave maybe i will allow to see that deviant boy as friends again
I started crying i couldn't hold back the tears anymore
- Mom why would you do this to me ?
- because that fag made you deviant like him and i want my boy to be normal and have a girlfriend if he still wants to be my son
- but? How ? How could you do this to me ? Don't you want my happiness ? Why would you hurt me like this?
- Because you're are not my son anymore but i'll make sure that you come back to your senses now go to your room and finish packing your stuff we leave in two days and i don't hear a word about this anymore that isn't " I broke up with him tell Katie i want to be with her"
- but- I tried to say
- not another word now go to your room

So I just wanted to say I felt physical and emotional pain writing this chapter and I felt bad writing the things that mrs K was saying to Eddie because they were to mean even for me but it was necessary for the story.
