Flashback(somewhat)-

Jason had pledged that he would take the pills so that he wouldn't scare (Y/n). His promise was soon forgotten, and the rotting of his mental state started to begin. When Jason stepped through that door... The devilish idea was born.

Flashback-

Josh heard his name being yelled, and rushed towards the source. He opened the door and was tackled down by Richie. He had tears in his eyes from frustration. (Y/n) was so confused by his actions that she tried to run to stop him, but Jason chuckled, and tightened his grip on her mouth.

"YOU DIRTY PERVERT!" Richie yelled as he straddled Josh's torso. He stared up at him in utter confusion.

"What?! Richie what happened to you!?" His arms were being suspended over his head, making it impossible to move the boy off.

"YOU TRIED TO LURE (Y/N) INTO YOUR ROOM. YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER! WHO DOES THAT?!" Josh gulped in fear as he recalled his actions.

"Please you have to listen to me! There's a reasonable explanation, I swear...!"

"NO.... HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER?!" He tightened his grip in pure anger. He felt betrayed, although that too was a lie.

"RICHIE STOP!" Josh screamed as he lost the feeling in his arms.

"SHUT UP! YOU'RE A LIAR!" Richie cried as he removed his hands to punch the confused boy. (Y/n)'s eyes widened as she couldn't believe her eyes. She began tremble, which only added to Jason's amusement.

"PLEASE STOP!!" Josh cried as he continued to get punched. Richie paused for a half second, allowing Josh to push him off. Richie fell on his side, and tried to breathe. Josh was was hyperventilating.

"You killed those kids..." Josh tensed up at the mention.

"How do you know about those kids...?"

"You murdered those poor little kids!" Richie got up and ran towards Josh. He grabbed him by the collar, but Josh held away his body. "Why'd you do it?! Who is sick enough to kill little kids?!" Josh shoved Richie away from him and began to cry.

"I DIDN'T DO IT!" He yelled as he tried to run at Richie. Out of sheer panic he grabbed the closest thing and quickly swung it his attacker's head. Josh dropped to the ground. Richie opened his eyes and looked at his weapon of choice. It was a clay bowl decoration, that clearly knocked the boy out. Richie looked over to see Josh's body. It looked as if it wasn't breathing, and blood appeared on his head.

"Josh...?" Richie walked over and started to shake his lifeless body. "JOSH!" He wouldn't wake up. "Oh god... I didnt mean to kill him!" Richie started to cry, and slid away from the boys body.

"..." Jason stared at the scene with shocked eyes. This had escalated too far, this isn't what he wanted. He couldn't move or else (Y/n) would speak. (Y/n) cried as she saw Richie on the ground. She didnt know how to feel, Richie was one of the last people she could trust. She saw how he was about to be attacked, but he killed someone.

"Why... I didnt want to kill him. Why?!" he sobbed. Jason slowly backed away with (Y/n) in his arms. He picked her up and ran towards the shared house, he stayed silent the whole time. As he entered the house, Trevor was descending the stairs.

"What happened to you?" He asked as Jason paused to look at him. He uncovered (Y/n)'s mouth and almost dropped her.

"Richie... Killed Josh." (Y/n) managed to speak between sobs. Trevor tensed at the thought of Richie killing someone. Jason let tears fall down his face as he stayed silent. He walked towards the basement so that (Y/n) wouldn't have to see him cry.

Trevor shook his head in disbelief as he ran to Trevor's house. 'He couldn't of. He doesn't have a single murderous bone in his body. How could he do this?' He didnt understand what (Y/n) had told him. His best friend, a murderer? No. He was the murderer, Richie was the savior. As he entered the house, the sobs from his friend were filling the house. He rushed over to see the body, and his friend crying on the floor.

"Richie..." He walked over and tried help him out of his fetal position. "Richie please, stop acting like this. TALK TO ME!" Richie finally spread out and looked Trevor in the eye.

"I killed him. I didnt mean to... But I killed Josh." Richie cried harder.

"Hes probably not dead." Trevor slid over and felt a faint pulse. "You can save him, please." Richie perked up when he saw that he wasn't dead.

"But...What if he's dead when I get back from my house?"

"Stop sounding so pathetic!" The boy was surprised at his friends tone. "I'm sure Jason has something is his room, just hurry and go. I'll stay here and watch him." Richie nodded and ran towards the stairs. He noticed a room and automatically went inside. Luckily it was Jason's, which meant that there was medical supplies somewhere. He searched up and down until he finally found a first-aid Kit. He ran down the stairs and towards Josh and Trevor. He was freaking out. "Come on, Rich. You got this." Trevor tried to give his friend some courage. Richie nodded and started to clean the blood off the unconscious boy. He groaned out in pain, which startled Richie and Trevor.

"What happened..." Josh seemed out of it, and tried to touch his head.

"DON'T TOUCH IT!" Richie yelled as he slapped away Josh's hand.

"Why does my head hurt so fucking mu-" Richie quickly put his hand over Josh's mouth.

"Just be quiet, I'll patch you up." Josh began to calm down, allowing Richie to let his nerves settle. After a few seconds Richie resumed his process of cleaning Josh's wound. Trevor stayed on the sideline and watched with warm eyes towards his friend.
