Song for chapter 3 - "This Is Home" by Cavetown.

***

The plane ride was finally over, the child was gone, but now I had to wait for a taxi. It took about 15 minutes.

"Where do you need me to take you?" The driver asked when I got in the taxi.

"The new chinese restaurant, it's just a couple blocks away." I replied.

"You a tourist or live here?" He asked.

"Used to live here. Why?"

"Uh, I encountered someone who said they used to live here 27 years ago and they told me that a lot had changed here." He responded.

"Do you know their name by chance?" I asked him.

"Well, I'm not supposed to give out passenger information-"

"It's just a name."

"Bill, I think." Ah, yes, Billie boi.

"I think I may know him." I replied.

"You going to a reunion?" The driver asked.

"Perhaps."

I looked out the window and saw that it was beginning to get dark. I wondered how the losers club would react to me coming back. Do they even remember?

"Ah...we're about to arrive." The driver informed me. Well, that was fast. I mean, yeah with the power of time ski-

I could see the restaurant from here. He drove me a bit further and then dropped me off at the restaurant. I paid him before getting out of the taxi. After a few minutes of pondering, I finally walked into the restaurant. I looked around for everyone, but couldn't find them until a waitress approached me and asked if I was part of the reservation.

"This way please," She replied after I confirmed it. There they were, I was seemingly the last one to make it there.

"HoNeY, i'M hOmE!" I exclaimed and the people at the table stopped their so-seeming heated debate and looked at me. It was dark outside at this point.

"Took you long enough." A guy with dark hair and a small figure said. I assumed it was Eddie.

"Y/N! Hey!" Mike was the first to get up from his seat and run over to greet me. I almost stumbled when the rest of the group came to hug me.

"Hi, Bev! Wow, you look like a model!" I complimented Beverly when it was her turn to hug me. The last to hug me was Richie.

"As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, Y/N's back. Back in black!" Richie gestured to my all-black clothes and went over to hug me. Everyone's laughter seemed so cheery as if it was their last and they had to savor it. I mean, it might as well be.

"I missed you..." Richie muttered in the hug. I pulled away from Richie's hug and looked around at everyone.

"So now that we're all-"

"Where's Stan?" I interrupted whatever Mike was about to say.

"Stanley Urine...no, no he's a pussy, he's not gonna show." Richie replied. After a moment of awkward silence, we all just sat down to talk about what happened during the 27 years. I still couldn't help but feel uneasy in my gut.

"Wait, let's talk about the elephant NOT in the room - Ben...what the fuck, man?!" Richie exclaimed. I directed my gaze to Ben. I hadn't realized it was him at first, but by process of elimination it was quite obvious.
