I thought you loved me too ~Reddie~

Chapter 9

*Richie*
- so what do you wanna do now ? - i asked
- whatever you decide it's fine by me
- aww you're so cute
- am i ?look who's talking
- ok but this is too cheesy
- I like cheesy and i like you Richie
- I like you too Jordan - i said and then he kissed me and i kissed him back
Yeah this was my second date with him and it was true i liked him i was still in love with Eddie but it was time for me to move on and to start living for myself and Jordan liked me back he seemed like a very nice guy also i could go out with him in public without our relationship being a secret. It wouldn't be the same as the one i had with Eddie but i think i will still like it and being friends with Eddie was just enough to make me happy.
- so they opened this temporary fair just outside the town i thought maybe we could go there there are a lot of attractions like the ferris wheel and there are also pop corn and cotton candy
- sounds perfect to me you really are good at this aren't you
- well i can't say the opposite can i- I said and this time it was me to kiss him because i wanted to like him he was what i needed at the moment. I love Eddie he will always be my first love and i will always remember our relationship but maybe it is time for me to move on and maybe Jordan and i will have a future he would have started school this week being an official student a lot like me when i moved here so i could teach him some stuff and i really liked that idea.
- so let's go we don't have time to waste - he said taking my hand
*Eddie*
- so you told Stan
- yeah i told Stan like you told me too and look what happened
- I didn't think he would react that way
- what if i messed up our friendship what if he doesn't wanna be friends with me anymore you know my friendship with him is very important and i couldn't bare to lose him just because i like him
- now first thing breath and call down yes he didn't answer and said he needed son time but he didn't say no or anything negative
- no he's just deciding if he still wanna be friends with me or if i messed up everything and now things are awkward
- you're overthinking it and making up things when nothing happened yet
- and nothing's gonna happen i messed up and now he hates i lost him and now i hate myself because i told him
- no you didn't relax Bill i'm not gonna tell you everything will be okay because you wouldn't believe me but trust me when i say that all that friendship can't be just thrown away
- well but he isn't talking to me he says he needs time to decide what to do okay ? now what should i do just wait until he has made up his mind i'd loose my mine by then i'll be crazy i can't jus wait
- then what do you say if we go to the new fair that just opened?
- yeah okay better than doing nothing let's go-
Bill was really sad i don't know if i made him do the right maybe i was wrong Stan didn't feel the same way about him and i messed up their friendship. Of course i couldn't tell him that, it would worry him even more now i made one maybe two people feel bad, again it was all my fault.
***
- So we did a lot of games now what
- now we eat i'm starving
- right i forgot you're always hungry
- that is not true Bill don't address like that
- yeah okay okay- he said laughing- it kinda looks like a date you know
- yeah you're right think about how weird would be if we started to date
- yeah it would be super weird-
- what do you say about some popcorn and then the Ferris wheel
- oh i'm so down for that let's go
- isn't that Richie ? - He asked me
- there on the Ferris wheel
- well it kinda looks like it but i can't really tell
- yeah me neither
- oh yeah it's definitely Richie i can recognize his glasses now that he's coming down
- and he's with someone, maybe a friend?
- do you kiss all your friends Bill? That's clearly Jordan the guy he's seeing.
- are you okay with that Eddie we can still leave if-
- i'm fine Bill this afternoon-evening it's supposed to be about you i'm not gonna let my impossible feelings for Richie get in the way
- are you sure because i feel better now about Stan i really needed to hang out with a friend so thanks Eddie but we can go now
- If you're then yeah i'm not sure i can see him with him or even talk to him right now
- then we're going..wait i got a text from...
He whitened and started to stare at his phone
- what ? Who texted you
- it's...Stan he says...he says he needs to talk
- well than that's good that he want to talk
- well yes but what does he wanna talk about
- well you'll find out only by talking to him

- hey Bill hi listen i wanted to talk to you alone but i guess you told Eddie everything so I can tell you both
- okay what is it - said shaking Bill
- well Bill i thought a lot about what you said i tried not to i tried to sleep but i couldn't i tried homework but i couldn't all i could think about was you
- awww- I said without realizing it - sorry
- anyway what i wanted to say is that i like you too Bill I've always liked you but i didn't wanna rush into this because i didn't realize my feelings until you told my you liked me i needed time to think and i didn't wanna rush into things because i didn't wanna lose you but i do like you Bill and I would love to go out with you
- awww that's even cuter, umh sorry again guys I'll leave you to it
- well what i can say is that I'm blushing like really hard and i don't really know how this things work but since we're here would you like a ride on the Ferris wheel
- sounds like a great plan
- you mind Eddie
- no don't worry guys anyway i was gonna go anyway
- guys i didn't know you were here hey-
and like a wave it hit me

- well since there's the occasion i would like you to meet my boyfriend Jordan
- so you have a new boyfriend uh, well nice to meet you Jordan i'm Stan
- new boyfriend? The relationship you told the the first time we met ?
- well it's kinda of a long story but you'll hear at the time, Hi I'm Bill and he's Eddie

- yeah he is- I said without thinking
- yeah Eddie's right- saved me Bill- he's a great friend we hope you'll see it too

I felt sick i wanted to be the one kissing Richie but this was how things were.
