oh, i'm sorry, did i hit a fucking nerve?

'no you did not hit a fuckin nerve.' you nearly blew my head off and don't ever touch my fucking car again dipshit. oh but that's all internal. eddie bites his tongue. no, literally. he lets go of the toothy latch he has on his tongue and can basically taste the blood. he mouths the next words, all rehearsed, before he actually says them. 'just- be careful. be careful.'

please help me.

i never said i would help you.

you think i got a chance?

aim straight.

no point in discussing names. we'll all be dead soon anyway.

hold your fire.

oh, i'm sorry, did i hit a fucking nerve?

everything was fine until you showed up.

not exactly the subtle type, are you?

there is blood everywhere.

how long do you think it's been there?

i'd say we got a week tops.

it wasn't technically a lie.

i'll go help them. you stay put.

t'is just a scratch.

you're bleeding buckets.

when's the last time you slept?

when's the last time you ate?

i'm right behind you.

let me see it, no use in hiding it.

i can't see!

i can't see you, where are you?

you got eyes on the target?

i'm catching up to the target.

i'm a nobody.

thanks for saving me.

get up, you're still in one piece.

you're not fooling me.

hand it over.

i won't ask again.

don't look at me like that.

drop it.

i have to try.

move out of my way.

i can't let you.

make them bleed for me.

i'll kill them.

kill them all.

it is my medical opinion that that could have gone better.

does this mean we're friends now?

nice catch.

good eye.

i have my moments.

let go.

i can't give up. not yet, not ever.

you need to rest.

take a break.

don't leave.

come with me.

you're a handful.

don't do anything stupid.

don't do anything i wouldn't do.

do as i say, not as i do.

i'm fine, relax.

don't baby me.

if you think this is bad, you should see the other guy.

i've dealt with worse.

i know it hurts. you'll be okay.

did you see that?

you're not alone.

i like to keep people on their toes.

i won't leave you alone.

what happened to you?

what the fuck happened?

you look like shit.

you clean up nice.

you look ... alright.

you look ... beautiful/handsome.

i have no idea how uncomfortable i am right now.

what did you do?

looks like i can't leave you alone for one minute before you start doing stupid shit.

what can i say?

you owe me for this.

i owe you, big time.

so we're even?

it runs in the family, doesn't it?

they drive me nuts, but they're family.

you wouldn't get it.

don't pretend like you understand.

i think you're the only one who gets it.

take it easy.

breathe.

i may have fucked up.

did you hear that?

can we go now?

i don't like this.

run!

this is no joking matter.

do you ever take anything seriously?

i'm not leaving without you.

i'm going to get you out of here.

leave without me. i'll just slow you down.

i'll catch up. go!

i thought you were dead.

peekaboo.

i know you're there, [name].

it takes a lot more than that to kill me.

we both know we can't do this without each other's help. so grow up and help me.

i hate you.

i love you.

i know you love me.

you love me, don't lie.

care to join me?

we are never speaking of this.

don't tell anyone about this.

why did you leave me?

the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

shut the fuck up.

i'm fucking livid.

your wish is my ... strong recommendation.

i'm calling it right here. this world can officially bite my ass.

take a picture, it'll last longer.

it's nothing.

leave me alone.

you're like family.

don't talk to me.

i know you missed me. i missed you too, you know.

i'm tired of pretending.

stop pretending you care.

we're safe, i think.

i only wanted to help.

you don't scare me.

try me.

what are they here for?

why are they after you?

whose blood is that?

do you love me?

you're not a bad person.

what are you hiding?

you're safe with me.

did you have fun?

feels weird seeing you again.

just like old times.

someone was here before us.

you're not as bad as everyone says you are.

are you always so serious?

you look like you've see a ghost.

i don't think i want to find out.

don't fucking touch me.

do you mind if i smoke?

over my dead body.

got a light?

forget you saw anything.

i'm too old for this shit.

i'll see myself out.

don't call me that.

i won't say anything.

did you come alone?

i want you to run, okay? run and don't look back.

you're all right. you're safe. it's over.

you're not acting like yourself, are you okay?

what's in it for me?

ladies/guys/people love me.

get behind me.

follow me if you want to live.

oh, fuck you.

i'll take care of you.

maybe you should stick around for a while.

i don't believe you don't care.

let me carry you.

look at me.

i'm this close to losing my shit.

i can tell when you're lying to me.

you're staring.

this is for your own good.

i don't need your pity.

can you walk?

i can explain.

they deserved it.

am i dead?

takes one to know one.

i don't owe you shit.

kill me if you're not a coward.

this better not be in vain.

are we getting paid for this?

you are one lucky son of a bitch.

please go. i can't look at you right now.

it takes two to tango.

do it, pussy. you won't.

let them go.

let me go.

let it go.

where are you taking them?

there you are.

it's me, you're okay, i'm here.

don't look.

do you care about anyone but yourself?

you got a weapon?

allow me to show you how it's done.

i can't believe i actually killed them.

i can't believe you actually killed them.

i don't like this anymore than you do.

you can trust me.

i know you're just dying to say something to me.

i can protect you.

you've been awfully quiet.

don't.

don't say another word, you hear me?

ha! i knew i could make you smile.

ha! i knew i could make you laugh.

you're going to hell, you know that, right?

we're going to hell, aren't we?

i got you.

you mumble in your sleep.

don't miss.

get a fucking grip.

pretty sure that's illegal.

i didn't ask for this.

no one's coming to help us.

we're fucked.

i think god hates me.

i think god hates us.

it's never been easy.

i was worried about you.

i'll drink to that.

you're joking, right?

i'll do the talking.

lady luck smiles on me today.

didn't take you as a softie.

don't go soft on me, now.

the quiet type, eh?

don't remind me.

i'm just messing with you.

that's an order.

come on, don't be shy.

i know someone that could help us out.

don't go too far.

don't lie to me.

i'd prefer to get out of this in one piece.

well, that was a waste.

let me do it.

they've got us surrounded.

stop lying to me.

time changes you.

come on, lie down.

i wish i was like you.

look at you.

are you proud of yourself?

we're almost there.

you should look away now.

i'm glad i checked up on you.

don't get mad.

watch your language.

because i love you.

keep that shit to yourself.

keep it up.

where do you think you're going?

it's ok to cry.

that's my boy/girl.

stay safe.

i need to tell you something.

can't sleep?

you can take the bed. or the couch, if you want.

listen to me.

i dare you.

snap out of it.

promise me.

i'm not scared of death.

you know i'd do anything for you, right?

this isn't your fault.

[kasprzaks]

eddies all these things at once btw

[jjangredpanda]

[kasprzaks]

when i think about eddie my heart hurts (positive) (negative)

[kasprzaks]

i have to be honest i dont think anyone's giving me enough credit two broken wrists within a year of each other, TWO DIFFERENT WRISTS broken, TWO CASTS, two incidents of it having to be embarrassingly reported to hr and thought to be taking the mick the second time, every single person i know making fun of me for it, 12 weeks off work total. thats so impressive. its such a fuck my stupid big fat chungus life moment but also thats soooooooo impressive. be impressed

[curiousofwhat]

[kasprzaks]

eddie’s pencil has been snapped in half for about ten minutes now and he's been rolling the two useless pieces between his fingers like it'll magically fuse them back together on each snapped end for about ... eddie glances at the clock. nine minutes. the room is quiet in the way classrooms are meant to be with papers shifting, chairs scraping, people who actually have friends in the class talking like they're not where they are. all of it small and allowed.

he’s not the only one not talking, but he might be the only one who keeps almost doing it. the girl beside him hasn’t said anything since the bell, not even the small, automatic stuff like a sigh, a pencil tap (he's conscious he's been the one doing that), no tiny whispered complaints. just ... still. eddie's conscious of it without really meaning to. he rolls the pencil pieces once more, then sets one down between them without really looking at her.

' pretty sure it'll still write, ' he says, all casual like it just occurred to him. eddie has a quick vision of being one of those people who have a friend in class. part of him misses derry, another huge missing part tells him not to bother. ' if you need it. '

" any. hell, all of them. " strained, chipped; the words are forced with a hiss, through clenched teeth and flaring pain. the headaches come and go, hits you like a bus when they do and knocks you almost immediately out of commission. unfortunately, you can't run off to your house and lay in the darkness of your room for hours on end. you have obligations, things to do—fuck. " like 5. or 7 of them. "

[kasprzaks]

eddie freezes, full system halt. the backpack’s half unzipped, his hand already in there, fingers brushing crinkly blister packs, then his brain screeches like it’s just watched someone try to drink bleach.

' no, absolutely not. that’s not how aspirin works. that’s not how bodies work. that’s how you end up seeing god ... hell, your dentist. ' the pffff confidence evaporates into something fussier but he pulls out a bottle anyway because of course he does. ' pick a number. you can have two. maximum. and not on an empty stomach. have you eaten? you don’t look like you’ve eaten. you look like you’re vibrating. '

he had taken a quick left instead of a right.   in boyish excitement he trotted up the stairs,   past eddie,  and into the expanse of unexplored territory,   needing the bathroom and pushing open the first door he saw despite the directions given to him.   the smell had hit first,   familiar but heavy,   clear of dust and dispirited memories.   nearly metallic...   plastic  .ᐣ   medicinal  .ᐣ   it's an unpleasant thought for a child nearly twelve to have,   but for a moment he felt as though he observed a deep,   private part of eddie's soul;   something meant to be taped away and hidden akin to a box of secrets under someone's bed.   like he saw a mythical creature he couldn't quite catch on camera.   (his eyes couldn't adjust quick enough either.   unable to see anything clear,   only making out shapes of what could've been anything.   within the dim lit room of this suburban home were medical boxes and folders and—the door closes with haste).   what he was meant to do in that moment,   besides find the bathroom to prevent a piss pool below his feet,   is avert his eyes and pretend the cacophony of mayhem didn't exist beyond this hallway.

eddie clearly wasn't happy,   and jason felt guilty,   and suddenly the air felt colder and thicker here than it did moments before.   he knew his house wasn't haunted,   what a ridiculous thought,   and it was far unlike the homes that he loitered before he moved to derry;   there weren't broken windows and tattered blinds or eerie noises that came from derelict rooms of past occupied spaces.   he didn't see an attic,   or a basement,   or any grotesque glass dolls or uncanny faces in framed photos on the walls.   but eddie's reaction didn't help any.   it just felt...    off.      ❛❛       fuck  .ᐟ  dude  .ᐟ  sorry  .ᐟ  jesus.   m'gonna piss my pants  .ᐟ        ❜❜

from jason,   to eddie,   to the house itself.   it felt like everyone had held their breath.   it didn't help that a minuscule of dust caught in his throat in such a small amount of time,   that he had to hide his nose in his sleeve and cough and cough until dribbles of spit dampened the fabric at his elbow as eddie spoke apprehensive nothings to him.    it was the cigarettes coating his lungs with tobacco and rat poison.   he swears.

he crossed a line he didn't know existed.   clearly.   now he really needed bathroom.   thinks about opening the window and blowing smoke into eddie's backyard just to calm his nerves a little.   he shifts on his feet.     ❛❛       no.   i ain't one of them dickhead,   weirdo bullies.   i won't tell nobody.   in fact,   i saw nothin'.        ❜❜

[kasprzaks]

eddie stands there for a second like he’s waiting to get yelled at anyway.

' okay, ' he blurts, embarrassment paling (because it's not gone, like how a good sunburn sticks onto you for a bit even when the sun's well gone). ' okay - good. yeah. cool. that’s- ' he nods, maybe too much. ' that’s good. '

his chest still feels tight. not asthma tight, just that awful in between where his lungs haven’t decided what they’re doing yet. he takes a careful breath through his nose anyway and counts it without meaning to.

' it’s not like a secret room or anything, ' he adds, quick and defensive before he thinks better of himself. ' it’s seriously just boxes. boring ones. ma keeps everything. it’s gross. ' the word gross catches on the way out, cracks, and eddie scowls at the floor like it betrayed him. like he’s mad at the word rather than just himself for being the one to say it. ' you just weren’t supposed to go in there. sorry. um... '

his thumb jerks down the hall. ' bathroom’s this way. that one’s safe. just a toilet. regular toilet. promise. ' his ears beam a violent glowing red when he follows the direction of his thumb and starts walking down the corridor. he pushes the toilet door open like he's checking if his ma had booby trapped the place and jason's about to get caught in the middle of it all. he nudges the light on. normal. toilet. sink. mirror. nothing breathing. another pause. he doesn’t quite look at jason when he says it: ' thanks. for not being a dickhead weirdo bully. '

he swallows. waits for a joke. a laugh. something. ' i'll guard the corridor! ' that's meant to be bright, meant to be moving on. eddie realises too late that it sounds like the place is in fact booby trapped.
