Ben and I rushed in to find everyone frantically pacing in circles, it almost looked like a ritual. It would have been funny if Eddie hadn't came out of the bathroom, screaming as his face had some sharp object stabbed in it. Ben rushed in the bathroom as soon, as the word 'Bowers' was mentioned. Richie was trying to run away, so I joined in on the others trying to keep him from leaving.
After I came back into the main room, I noticed Bill saying something about a kid to Bev and quickly rushing out of the building. I had a sudden urge to run after him so I did.
We ended up at a carnival. I tried to catch up with him, but I bumped into someone. It wasn't enough to make either of us fall, but it did cause slight impact. I know I had to get to Bill before he did anything stupid, but something about the person made me want to stay.
"You look familiar...do I know you?" I asked the stranger. It was a girl with platinum blonde, wavy hair. Her face seemed stuck in an anxious expression. The hair stood out in the crowd, making it quite distracting.
"No...I- who are you? And I'm sorry for bumping into you." She apologized. She looked a bit terrified of me.
"Y/N. I'm not sure if I want to give out my last name to a stranger, though." I replied.
"I'm Alyssa. Is your last name...L/N by any chance?"

"Y/N! Earth to Y/N!" She snapped her fingers in front of my face. I flinched.
"Oh, sorry, yeah it's me. Alyssa, holy shit! I haven't seen you in so long!" I exclaimed and tackled her in a hug. She stumbled back a bit from the impact.
"How's uh...how's life going?" I awkwardly asked after pulling away from the hug.
"Well, I- I finished school here after you left. College too. I got a pretty decent job. How's yours?" She asked
"Well, not exactly decent as you described yours, but I was pretty happy." I explained.
"Was?" She looked at me weirdly.
"Uh, it's a long story. Might have to explain some other time." That other time will probably never come.
After that awkward conversation, we stood there for a good awkward moments, not knowing what to say. As soon, as Alyssa tried to say something - Bill ran past me. I muttered a quick 'sorry, I have to go' and ran after Bill.
"WAIT! I DIDN'T EVEN GET YOUR PHONE NU-" I heard her yelling behind me. I groaned and quickly ran back. She unlocked her phone and I put the number in the contacts. Then I ran after Bill again.
He got his bike, which made it more difficult to catch up to him, and drove away. I tried to catch him, but I was tired from all the running. I stopped to catch my breath. Where would Bill go? Bill said something about a kid, so maybe IT killed him - resulting Bill to go ape shit and run again...this felt a lot like the same Bill that wanted to take revenge on Pennybitch for taking his brother away. The one who saw where it went off- THE CRACKHEAD HOUSE! Right, that's it!
"Hey, kid, can I borrow your roller skates?" I asked a teenager, who was passing by.
"No way, what the fuck, man?" He replied, I sighed and grabbed some money out of my wallet.
"Here, this should buy you new ones. I'm really in a rush, my friend is in danger." I handed him the money and he looked shocked. Eventually, he gave in and gave me the roller skates.
"If I see you ever again, I'll try to give you your roller skates back!" I yelled as I rushed away, filled with adrenaline.
"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE-" He yelled after me, but I was already too far away to hear him.
The helmet? The money? I wondered what the boy had said. The kid probably needs the helmet more than I do and same with the money, but- NOW IS NOT THE TIME, Y/N! YOU'RE TRYING TO PREVENT YOUR FRIEND FROM CHARGING HEAD ON INTO A DEMONIC CLOWN'S LAIR! SNAP OUT OF IT!
I zoomed to the lair and saw the bike dropped by the house, but no sight of Bill. Maybe he was in already? Ok, Y/N, you got this! I sharply inhaled and exhaled. My gut told me to get the roller skates outside of the fence, so I did exactly that. I did not know for what reason, though. I cautiously walked towards the house. I was terrified to go back in there even after 27 long years.
"Screw it!" I whisper-yelled and bust the door open. I looked around and it was silent for a while before I heard screaming. I went to the source; It was Mike and Beverly holding Ben, while something was being carved into his stomach. I was about to go help, but it seemed like they got it under control. Beverly ran up to a mirror and shattered it, which made Ben's scar disappear. The clown had been in the mirror, while it wasn't visible outside of it.
A door then opened, which revealed more screaming. I rushed in to see Bill yelling at Eddie for something, but Mike stopped him before it could escalate. Richie was laying on the ground, but once he made eye contact with me - he basically flew towards me.
"Where were you?!" He exclaimed in a panicked voice.
"I just arrived later, jeez! I'd think you'd be happy I wasn't involved in all of this crazy shit."
"Well, you missed out on both of my speeches. I said: 'Let's kill this fucking clown' and it was very epi-"
"Enough chit-chat! We have to go." Bill interrupted. Richie was annoyed.
Then all color faded to black.
