They ran all the way across town in the night and busted open the doors to the library. When they did, they found Mike lying on the floor, Richie standing over him with vomit on the floor and a dead Bowers next to them. Beverly screamed.
"Holy shit what happened?!" Charlie asked as she ran to help Mike.
"Are you guys alright?" Ben asked them.
"No I'm not alright I just fucking killed a guy" he said.
"Yeah, too bad I wasn't here with you to kick his ass again" Charlie said as she helped Mike up. She kept a hand on his shoulder, she didn't want to let him go.
"You okay?" she asked him. He was looking deep into her eyes and he fell into them. They were really close to each other and they felt a connection going through them.
"Yeah" he said. She nodded and they looked around and remembered their friends were still there while they had a moment.
"Where's Bill?" he asked.
Charlie was bandaging Mike's wrist where Bowers cut him, and Mike was calling Bill. He seemed desperate on the phone and Bill hung up on him.
"What happened?"
Mike turned to them.
"He's fighting IT alone"
