"Goodbye"

The group of kids were sitting in a field. It was now August and they started talking about what happened.

"I can only remember parts but...i thought i was dead. Thats what it felt like." Evelyn and Bill had been sitting right next to each other, the other teens sitting next to them making a circle. "I saw us, all of us, back in the cistern, but we were older, like our parents ages."

"W-what were we all doing there?" Bill asks Beverly.

"I just remember how we felt." Beverly shakes her head slightly. "How scared we were. I don't think i can ever forget that."

Evelyn smiled at the girl who she called her best friend. Beverly was moving away, he dad was dead and she was going to stay with her aunt. So the losers tried to spend as much time with each other as they could before everything changed.

Bill stood up picking up a piece of glass along the way. "Swear it." They all looked at him. "S-swear if it isn't dead if it ever comes back, We'll come back too." Evelyn looks at Bill and stands up. Beverly following, and the boys after. Bill holds out his palm and cuts it with the glass. He cuts everyones palm. The boys all flinch but Beverly doesn't.

When Bill gets to Evelyn he looks at her, not wanting to hurt the girl. She nods at him and he cuts her palm like he did everyone else. She winces a little and closes her hand.

Bill moves to stand back where he was and he grabs Evelyn's hand. Evelyn grabs Beverly's, Beverly grabs Ben's hand, Ben to Stanley, Stanley to Mike, Mike to Eddie, Eddie to Richie, and Richie to Bill, making a full circle. They all looked at each other before letting go.

"I gotta go." Stanley spoke. "I hate you." He looks at Bill. Before smiling and laughing, causing everyone else to laugh. "Ill see you later."

Stanley went to leave but Evelyn hugged him before he could go. They pulled away and did their handshake before he fully left.

Richie and Eddie hugged and Eddie went to walk away. "Bye guys."

The Mike. "See you later Losers."

Then Richie. "See you around Bill."

"See you Rich."

And then Ben. "See you guys later."

"Bye Ben." Beverly said to the boy.

And then Beverly. "See you around."

Beverly went to walk away but was stopped when Evelyn hugged. "You'll call every day right?"

Beverly laughed. "Always."

The girls did a pinky promise and then Beverly walked off.

Evelyn turned back to Bill and smiled. "And then there were two." She say down next tk the boy.

Bill laughed as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"You coming for dinner?" Evelyn looked at him.

"I-if you want me to."

"Always." Evelyn stood up holding out her hands for the boy.

She pulled him up and they started to walk away before Bill stopped them. He turned Evelyn towards him and kissed her.

When he pulled away she smiled at him and kissed the boy again.

When they got to Evelyn's house they were engulfed with hugs from Jack and May.
