Forever a L.O.S.E.R. (Loser's Club x Reader)

~Chapter 9 Part 2~

Eddie's P.O.V

I remember all of it. Every single detail. I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life. When I told everyone that I had in fact seen the creepy ass clown too, the whole day just came back to me. 

It was the day that we went to the quarry with Bev. The day we went to Ben's house to learn about the missing kids. The day Y/N cried because Bill hurt her. The day that I saw it. The clown. 

I was walking home at around 3:00. After Y/N broke down, the mood was killed. Nothing was fun without Y/N. I rubbed my hands together because it was getting chilly outside. What a minute, 3:00? Shit. I forgot to take my meds. I sighed and accepted the fact that when I got home, my mom would yell at me for forgetting to take one pill. Only one. Even after everything that had happened with Y/N, only one thing was on my mind: Richie. I don't know why he was but, he was. I guess since Y/N moved back, Richie has been having to take on the brother responsibilities again. Comforting her when she needs it, making fun of her crush, and calling her nicknames. Well, he gives me nicknames too. I'm not saying Richie's like a brother to me but, well, you know.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't even realize that I was walking on Neibolt Street. And I was in front of that creepy house. The death house. I shuddered and held my breath. I started walking a little bit faster just to get past the house quickly. I couldn't hear anything except for the zipper on my backpack and the wind rustling through the trees.

You know what? Screw that, I thought to myself. I was not getting yelled at by my mother for missing one pill. I came to a stop in front of the house and looked around. No one, good. I started rustling around in my fanny pack for the correct pill bottle when the door to the death house creaked open. I stared inside, paralyzed. God no. Please no, no, no. Was that growling I heard? I began to hyperventilate and so I dug around in my bag for my inhaler. And just my luck, it and the pill slipped out of my hands onto the ground. Shit. I crouched down to pick up the pill when a hand touched mine. Well, what I thought was a hand. I didn't want to but I looked up. That's when I realized  Eddie, you're face to face with a leper. It held up the red pill and moaned. I did the only thing that I could in the moment, I screamed. I screamed so loud that I'm surprised that no one heard it. Maybe someone did, but the didn't care. 

I fell back as the creature started limping towards me, still screaming. I couldn't stop. Finally, I got up off of the ground and began to run towards the house. This time, while the thing chased me the only thing that I could think of, was Y/N. I can't believe that I couldn't tell her how I felt before died. Maybe she would've said that she felt the same way. Maybe... I guess I'll never know. I knew for a fact that this time, Y/N wasn't here to save me. The beautiful Tozier wasn't  here to push me out of the road. 

The only thing that was the same in this scenario was that I wasn't running by choice.

It started with me running towards a butterfly and it will end from me running from my nightmare. Just think Eddie, Y/N Kaspbrak. Yeah, I like the sound of that.

I was woken out of my thoughts as I ran into a gate. Well, time to die I thought to myself as I turned around. The leper was gone but what replaced it wasn't any less scary. There it was. That dumb clown. Holding red balloons in the shape of an upside down triangle. I caught my breath as we just stared at each other. It smiled, I didn't. Then, it spoke.

"Where you going Ed" it said "If you didn't fall you'd be home by now"

I just stood there with my eyes open wider than my mouth. It smiled even wider.

"Come join the clown dance. You'll float down here. We all float down here! Yes we do" it exclaimed. Then, it began to laugh. Now this laugh wasn't like any laugh, this laugh was pure fear. Everything that I have ever been scared of, came back to me in that laugh. That fucking laugh. I began to scream again. I looked down and saw an opening in the gate. Still screaming and it still laughing, I crawled through the whole only to be stopped by silence. I looked back and the clown was gone. Only the sound of popping balloons and my fear remained. I got off the ground and ran.
