"Fuck off Richie! You're so full of bull!" I shouted, my arms crossed. "Really? Am I? At least I'm not the one who hangs out with a bunch of guys!"

"THEY'RE BOTH OF OUR FRIENDS!" I retorted. "I'M NOT ALWAYS THERE TO MAKE SURE NOTHING'S GOING ON!"Β  He fired back.

"Oh my god, you're so fucking protective. Why the fuck are we even dating? It's like you don't even like me, Richie."

He rolled his eyes, "Well, you were just my second choice." He mumbled. I felt my heart break. "Seriously?" He shrugged and nodded. "I don't know. Eddie's not into dudes so yeah, I guess that's why I chose you."

"S-so you don't actually like me?" I whimpered. "I do, just not as much as I like Eddie." I felt my heart tear into even smaller pieces.

I didn't even bother grabbing any of my things, I just dashed out of the door. I ran down the street, leaving my bike on his lawn.

Each step was harder to take than the last, pulling me further away from the Tozier household. I ran endlessly, not knowing where I was going.

I was just going.

I cried as I ran, not wanting to ever stop. I ran into the woods, wiping my eyes. Twigs and branches cut my arms, legs, face, neck, any exposed skin really.

I tripped and fell, landing face first. I knew my nose was bleeding but I got up and continued to run. I ran until again, I fell.

This time I'd run into something. A person. I looked up and realized it was Bill, Stanley, and the person I'd hit, Eddie.

I was angry. More than angry. Eddie reached out to help me up but I pushed him away. "Fuck you! I don't ever want to see any of you again! Especially not you or Richie fucking Tozier!"

I went to keep running but a soft hand grabbed my arm. I turned around and faced Stanley, who looked worried.

Stanley and I have known each other since we were toddlers. He's my neighbor. "Are you o-" I leaned forward and placed a firm kiss on his lips. Stan pushed me away and wiped his lips.

"Richie's gonna kill me! What the hell was that?!" I shook my head and glared at Eddie. "He won't care. As long as his first choice isn't kissing anyone, he doesn't give two shits about the kisses that go around."

I turned around and continued to run away. Away from everything.
