'how'd you find out?' steve asked, trying to remain calm

'HOW'D YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO NOT SEND THEM?!' i screamed back at him

'i wanted to protect you!' he told me, coming closer to me

'protect me?!' i screamed again

'I have been living in HELL the past FOUR MONTHS thinking that richie HATED ME but in reality it's all your fault!'

'vic, calm down! he treated you like shit!'

'he so didn't! he treated me like a princess, back the fuck off!'

'he kissed so many girls so many times and didn't give two shits about you until he had to move!'

'shut up!' I said, sobbing my eyes out

'he didn't care about you; you guys never even went on one single REAL date!'

'SHUT UP!' i screamed louder than before

'he di-' steve started again

i screamed again and ran to my room before slamming and locking the door behind me

'VICTORIA MIA HARRINGTON UNLOCK THIS DOOR OR ELSE!' steve yelled while banging on the door

i didn't answer and continued sobbing in the corner of my room

'victoria!' steve screamed out before kicking the door in, causing it to break into pieces

he seemed shocked, as did i

'get out' i whispered to him

he didn't say anything, he even seemed a little sad about the fact that he had ruined my door, and left

'eds?' I asked eddie as we both laid in the barons,

eddie had a huge jacket on, most likely forced to by his mother

i had a simple black denim jacket on, that was really thick so it kept me warm

it used to be richie's

under my jacket was a red cropped tank top and some high waisted pants with boots

'hm, what is it, vic?' he answered me

'don't you miss richie?' i asked him again

'well, obviously I did, but-'

'you did? you don't miss him anymore; that's harsh, you guys were best friends for pete's sake!'

'vic, let me finishhh' eddie whined as we both sat up

'fine, you may speak'

'i did miss him, but since he's coming in two days it's not that ba-'

'WHAT IN THE HELL OF FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!' i yelled out in confusion

'there's that richie tozier in you' eddie mumbled

'hellOoOoOoOo? what are you talking about?!'

'you really don't know, oh my gosh that explains so much!'

'JESUS FUCK EDWARD KASPBRACK TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!'

'well, richie has sent you letters-'

'and steve took them and didn't send yada yada that was a long time ago'

'he also sent me letters.. well, one letter. last week, after I sent him a letter about why you couldn't answer him so he wouldn't be mad, he sent me one back. he said he's coming on the 22nd'

'wait what?!' i asked him astonishingly

'he's actually coming?! oh my god!! why didn't you tell me?!'

'he said he sent the letter to you too, and I don't know i guess i thought you'd get it and kinda kept quiet about it?' sorry'

'sorry? what the hell are you sorry about?!' i yelped out of joy and leaped into eddie's arms to give him a huge hug

eddie shyly pulled away from the hug

'there's just one thing, vic...'

'what is it eds?' i asked excitedly

'since richie never got your letters, he took it as a single that you broke up; so.. he kind of hooked up with a girl from new york'
