[ Holy shit Eddie did it. The madman finally did it. He said the words! That's progress, right? Jeff will take whatever win he can get here.
And he's proud of you, Eddie! It probably took a lot to type that out, when just minutes ago he'd tried to deny they were talking about Richie at all... ]
i won't tell him or anyone oh wait! except for Peter! can I tell Peter? no no sorry no That's yours to say!
but you do have to apologize yeah and whatever happens, however he takes your apology, it's out of your hands and I totally get how fucking scary that is
sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't I think it'll work out for you but even if it doesn't... you're better off if you give yourself the chance at closure. and Richie deserves a chance to have his say too
[ And now it's time for a STORY to bring this all home ]
you know i used to date this guy a LONG fucking time ago we were totally in love and had all these big dreams about our future together at least until i got scared like usual and ran away, totally ghosted him like an asshole i still regret it. not breaking up with him, I don't regret that. but the way i did it... I never gave him a chance to tell me how he was feeling or if he was scared too no closure, nothing even if we weren't destined to be together and things were never gonna work out anyway it's a shitty thing to do to someone you care about
and the stupid thing is I almost did it again here to Peter i was so tempted to wreck everything and run away again! the thought of like coming back and apologizing? that was fucking terrifying because what if he decided he was done with me and my bullshit and I was way too much drama and why would he even want a total fucking disaster like me...
but this time I gave him a chance so i came back and apologized and opened up to him even though I knew there was a chance he wouldn't accept it and wouldn't you know! it worked out ;)
