It's All Real - A Patrick Hockstetter book

The Run In

So you ever drive around a really nice neighborhood and then just see that one house that's run down and will normally look like no one is living in it. Well that's where I live with my drug addicted mother and alcoholic father. Most of the time I stay with my Aunt and Uncle even though half the time my cousin Victor is there with his douche bag friends. It's like my second home I even have a room there. That's where I am right now and I'm about to go home even though I don't want to.

When I walk into the house the smell of beer and cigarettes hits my nose I should be used to it by now. Then my father pops out of no where.
D-Dad
D: Hey kid where ya been?
Y/N: With Aunt Sherry and Uncle Danny. Why?
D: Me and your mom we been worried about you.
Y/N: You have nothing to worry about Dad.
I tried to walk around him but he gripped onto my arm tightly.
Y/N: Ow dad your hurting me!
D: Don't lie to me Y/N! Where were you really?
Y/N: I swear I was with them call them if you don't believe me you drunk son of a bitch!
As soon as I said that I felt a stinging pain on my face and then tried to pull my arm out of his grip but he wouldn't budge.
D: Don't you ever say that again!
Y/N: Well it's true! Now where is Mom?
D: Out
Y/N: Out where?
D: The store
Y/N: Then that's where I'll be.
I finally got out of his grip and walked out slamming the door on my way. As I was walking down the sidewalk I heard the familiar pure of an engine. I turned around to see if I was right and I was it was Belch's car. I looked around for a place to hide and decided that a bush would do. I jumped into the bush and prayed to god they wouldn't see me. After the car passed and was out of sight I got out of the bush and fixed my hair then continued walking.

Soon enough I got to the Market and walked down the aisle's. I eventually found my mom looking for milk. For such a small women she can move fast I looked everywhere in the store before I found her.

Y/N: Hey Mom
M-Mom
M: Hey sweetheart what's up?
Y/N: Nothing Dad said you were here so I figured why not help out with the shopping.
M: Well that's very sweet of you.
Y/N: So how was your day today?
M: Oh ya know like any other day clean make lunch for your dad clean some more and now I'm here.
Y/N: That sounds eventful.
M: Oh I have the best gift in the world.
Y/N: What would that be.
M: Marrying your father.
We both looked at each other and laughed. All of a sudden I hear a bunch of laughing in front of us. It was my cousin and his friends. I put my head down and my mom took notice.
M: what's wrong sweetie?
Y/N: Vic and his friends are here
M: Well say hi don't be mean.
Y/N: Mom Vic has tortured me since we were 5 and his friends. Excuse my French. But there dickheads and quite frankly I hate them more than anything.
M: Honey Vic torturing you is his way of saying he loves you.
Y/N: I highly doubt throwing me in the quarry is a way of saying I love you.
M: Ok so maybe he does go a little bit over the top.
Y/N: A little.
M: Okay a lot. But he means well.
Y/N: Ok fine I'll say hi but this is the only time.
M: Ok.
Y/N: Hi Vic.
V-Victor
V: Hey short stack.
I tried to go after him but my Mom grabbed me by the back of my shirt.
Y/N: See this is what I mean.
M: Ok so he called you short stack what's wrong with that.
Y/N: What's wrong is that he's right and I hate when he's right.
M: Well I say Victor and that Huggins kid are all right it's Henry Bowers and Patrick Hockstetter you have to watch out for.
Y/N: I'll remember that thanks Mom.
M: Your welcome sweetie.
Y/N: Ok I gotta go I promised Bill I would ride around town for a little.
M: Ok be careful.
Y/N: I always am.
I hugged my mom then walked out of the store. Soon enough I got to Bills house and knocked on the door. Billy answered letting me in the house.
B-Bill
B: H-H-Hey Y/N.
Y/N: Hey Billy you ready to go?
B: Y-Yeah do y-y-you mind if w-w-we pick up the r-rest of the group.
Y/N: Not at all but we better hurry.
B: W-W-Why hurry.
Y/N: Because we need to pick up Eddie and if we want to take the short cut by the junk yard we need to get there before Bowers does.
B: R-Right
We get on our bikes and drive down to the junk yard.
Y/N: Apparently they beat us to it
B: Damn it
Y/N: It's ok we go slow and if they see us pedal as fast as you can
B: W-W-What about you
Y/N: They don't bully me as much because of Vic just do what I say and you should get out of this.
B: O-Okay
We pedal slowly we were half way there until I spoke up.
Y/N: Hey we might just make it.
HB-Henry Bowers
HB: Hey!
Y/N: Spoke to soon! Pedal Billy Go! Go! Go!
Billy got away now it was just me and the Bowers gang.
HB: Woah woah woah what do we have here.
I started to back up.
HB: Patrick hold her there I wanna get a good look.
Patrick walked up behind me and held me there. For looking like a stick he has a good grip.
HB: What's a pretty little girl like you doing all the way out here huh?
Y/N: Fuck you
HB: Ooohh feisty I like it. But you didn't answer my question.
Y/N: None of your business Bowers.
He stepped closer and closer to me almost closing the gap between us. This was when I started to shake in fear.
HB: Someone's scared aren't they.
Y/N: Please let me go. Vic get your faggot friends off of me.
V: No can do cuz.
Y/N: Let me go or else.
HB: Or else what
Y/N: I'll go to your dad and I'll tell him everything you did.
HB: Let her go
As soon as he let me go I got on my bike and speed off heading to Eddie's house. Eddie's mom doesn't like the guys but she likes me. So when I walked in with a scrape on my arm and leg she rushed towards me.
SK: Sonia Kaspbrak
SK: Y/N honey what happened.
Y/N: Just a little run in with Bowers and his friends that's all.
SK: Are you ok?
Y/N: Yeah but could you get me some rubbing alcohol and two bandages so I can clean these.
SK: Of course so what are you kids doing today.
Y/N: just riding our bikes around that's all.
SK: Oh ok will you please make sure Eddie has his medicine and his inhaler and everything else on him and make sure he takes them at the right time.
Y/N: Of course I will.
SK: Thank you. So are you ready for your last day of school.
Y/N: More than ever.
After I cleaned them and said by to Eddies mom we left to ride around Derry.

A/N: first chapter I hope you all enjoy it.
