Richie's been really depressed lately, but nobody knows why, not even Richie himself. Richie has been ignoring everyone no matter what. He hasn't been eating, sleeping or anything. I don't even remember the last time he left the house to hang out with me and our other friends , Stanley and Eddie. Bill takes it in his hands to try and see what’s wrong.

Bill arrives at Richie's house , luckily his parents weren't home . He walked in and went to the first place he thought Richie would be , his bedroom . He walked over to Richie's bedroom and knocked at the door. “Hey, can we talk?” But when he's met with no answer , he starts to get worried . He opens the door , and let's himself in . He feels his heart break a the sight of his bestfriend , curled up in a ball under the covers of his bed , sobbing his heart out .
