( It's nice to think about, what's going to happen after. Even if Eddie doesn't necessarily believe they'll both make it out of here. If anyone's making it out of here alive, it's Steve.
This means anything they say probably won't leave this room, right? Eddie might be a coward; he might have run away all this time, but there's no more point in running when he's hit a dead end.
There's no more point in keeping any secrets from Steve. He probably doesn't have to worry about Steve acting poorly, even if the former jock just humors him until Eddie draws his last breath. )
Steve, there's something you should know -- ( he begins and makes a face when he realizes he's wholly veered their conversation off track. It's too late, though. Eddie's started, and now he has to finish it. ) I should've told you. ( He pauses to swallow, his breath coming a little shallower. ) Before, when you were leaving to go to the Creel house with Buckley and Wheeler. I wasn't gonna say make him pay. I fucking chickened out.
