At some point Eddie woke up but didn't move andstill feeling quite tired. He realised that his head was resting Richie's shoulder. Richie had fallen asleep a few minutes beforehand, earplugs still in his ears and music still playing. Eddie lifted his head so he could see Richie's face. Richie was quite a deep sleeper so when Eddie moved a curl that had fallen over his eyes, he didn't flinch or anything. Eddie thought that he looked very peaceful when he slept.

Eddie had a look at everyone else. Mike and Ben were sleeping, Stan and Bill were still leaning on each other and sleeping. He glanced over at Bev, who looked at him through the mirror then smiled and winked at him. He knew she'd probably catch on so enough or maybe she already had.

'You love him, don't you?' Bev mouthed to him because saying it out loud would end up waking everyone elseup. His eyes widened. He didn't know whether to say yes or no. But she's right so there's no denying it now. While nodding he mouths back 'But don't tell anyone!'. She squeals in delight.

She smiles at him, "I promise!" She says out loud and continues to drive. Eddie looks around at the others but one stirred, except Bill who said something inaudible in his sleep.

Eddie looked back at Richie, he then leaned back in his seat. He rested his head back onto Richie's shoulder and closed his eyes, falling back asleep.

Both Richie and Eddie woke up to loud chatting. Everyone else had been awake for the past half an hour. They were talking quietly trying not to wake the 'lovebirds', as Bev put it. They decided it was time to get lunch as the time was 12:50. They pulled in at a nearby Services.

Everyone got out of the van. Eddie needing a little help, from Richie, getting out. The others just awed as they watched them help each other. They walked into a random diner and sat down in a booth. It was a 6 seater one so someone had to sit on the end. It went Bev, Eddie, Richie on one side; Ben, Stan, Bill on the other and Mike sat on the end.

A man, who seemed to the waiter, came over to them and took everyone's order. He comes back 10 minutes later with their food. They sat in silence enjoying their meal. Someone would occasionally say something but other than that they just ate.

Bill and Stan were holding hands under the table. Every time one of the others crouched under to pick something up, they would let go, feared of being caught. They both knew that the others would be totally fine with it.

Everybody had finished their food in under 10 minutes because they were so hungry. Mike payed and, as quick as they could, everyone went to relieve themselves. Hopefully they won't need to stop again.

Bev unlocked the van and everyone got in, making themselves comfortable for the long journey ahead. The journey was 4 hours long and they still had 3 hours to go. Eddie and Richie were back to sitting next to each other which they both enjoyed very much. Bev started driving again and they were back on the highway. Richie wanted to start a conversation with Eddie, then he remembered something.

Richie cleared his throat, "I came up with a new nickname for you, you know!" Eddie gazed up and smiled at him.

"Oh yeah! And what might that be?"

"...Eddie Spaghetti!" Richie tells him, grinning. Eddie rolled his eyes at him.

"That's..." Eddie began, "Its better than Eds but still annoying!"

Richie ruffles Eddie's hair and says, "Aww, but it suites and its cute!" He drags out the word 'and'. Eddie looks up at him and then turns away because of his blush. Richie sees Eddie's blush but keeps his mouth shut not wanting to embarrass him.

Everyone is having their own conversations and they just talk about anything that comes to mind. Bev watches Richie and Eddie through the mirror and thinks about how cute they look together. She wished that they would just admit their 'undying love' for each other.

After about an hour of talking and laughing, the Losers (except Bev) settle down in their seats to sleep. Richie rested his chin on his hand as he looked out the window, at sea of cars passing by. He leaned back in his seat to face forwards. He glanced over at Eddie.

"You can lean on me if you want?" Eddie smiled at him then leaned into Richie, who then wrapped his left arm around Eddie's shoulder. He heard Eddie sigh softly.

As Eddie rested on Richie, he could hear his heartbeat, which was going quite fast. Soon Eddie was asleep and Richie was on the brink of sleeping. Everyone else had fallen asleep and Bev was too concentrated on driving to notice anything. She had the radio on low so only she and Ben could hear it, even though Ben was sleeping. Too tired to think, Richie rested his head on top of Eddie's and fell asleep.
