LOSERS FOREVER - Richie Tozier x Reader

Chapter 5 - The sewers

A/n: I'll probably post two chapters today because I've already started the next one 👍 Read on my wattpad nerds! Also don't be a ghost reader! Sry for any mistakes!

"Y/n! C'mon! Get up!" Arms shook me awake. "Ughhhh! Bill!" I groaned. "5 more minutes!"

"No! We ha-have the s-sewers today." He said. Guilt hit me like a truck whenever he talked about finding him. I knew Georgie was gone. As much as I hated it, I had to move on. But Bill insisted he was out there somewhere.

"Do you really think we'll find anything, Bill? I mean c'mon."

"H-he could s-still be out the-re. We can't just give u-up on him."

"Bill, it's summer." I say. That seemed to get on his nerves because He glared at me and walked away angrily. That's never good.

The thing is, Bill rarely ever got angry at me. No matter how angry I got at him. Bill was very level headed and quiet. I mean, sometimes we'd have arguments but he was always the one to get over it first, and even then, he's never truly been angry at me. Except for one time when we were kids. He was 9 at the time, I was 8.

He had left his piggy bank on his desk as He had been saving up for an Atari. Though I hadn't known this at the time. He had about $50 saved up from Christmas', birthdays and holidays. The thing is, all summer I had been sneaking into his room and taking money every time I wanted to buy something, I didn't want to use my own money and waste it, so I stole his. He was Livid when he found out. My mom made me pay him all the money back but I didn't have enough. He didn't talk to me for a month. I remember feeling awful, like there was a vast pit in my stomach.

He was mad again and that pit in my stomach returned.

I walked to my closet with a sigh and got dressed.

When I got down stairs Bill wasn't there in the kitchen with my mother, or outside. "Where's Bill?" I asked my mom who was at the sink washing dishes. "Oh, he already left. Where were you two going today? I already forgot." She chuckled sweetly.

"We're all just going to- to Eddie's house." I stutter awkwardly.

"Alright. Well you outta hurry and catch up with him."

"Hm, yeah." I said. "See ya mom!" I say grabbing a waffle from the counter and shoving it in my mouth quickly. I opened the door and grabbed my bike from the driveway. I hopped on quickly and began riding as fast as I could to Eddie's house. I saw Bill up in the distance so I pedalled even harder to get closer. "You aren't seriously mad at me are you?!" I yelled from behind him.

"It's like you just fff-forgot about him!" He yelled back, our voices echoing in the empty streets. "All of you, m-m-mom, dad! It's like n-none of you c-care anymore!"

"Bill it's been a year! A fucking year! What do you expect!? Do you really think we're gonna find him!?!"

"Whatever", I heard him mumble before riding ahead. We were on Eddie's street now and he was still ignoring me. Richie had biked fast to catch up with us. "Hey, Losers!" he biked beside us. We pulled our bikes into Eddie's yard and Eddie flung the door open. "Hi." He said.

"Take anything but the delicious deals guys, my mom loves them." Eddie said as Bill and Richie raided his cupboard.

While Eddie talked to Bill about The sewers I opened a cupboard full of pills and meds.

"Woah, dude!" I exclaimed.

"Are these your birth control pills?" Richie laughs. "He was probably picking them up for you so shut it, Tozier." I retort. After knowing him for a while, you start to understand why people called him 'Trashmouth'.
