Adelaide Flint could swear living in Derry was a nightmare, and the summer of '89 only proved that to be true. But maybe Derry isn't so bad. That was, after all, where he was...

~~~Adelaide's Dream~~~
The Losers had agreed to meet again tomorrow at Bill's garage. He said he had a theory he would like to share but the day had to be cut short as Mike had to return back home. Bill had asked Ben to bring along with him one of the films that he had in his room. The one labelled as 'OLD DERRY'. They waved goodbye to each other as they went their separate ways home. Adelaide climbed onto the backseat of Silver properly and Bill cycled the two home.
"I'm scared," Adelaide blurted out, suddenly fearful of the topic discussed today as her arms tightened around Bill's waist.
"I know," he sighed. "D-D-Don't worry. I'll always be here f-f-for you," he squeezed her hands before returning back to the handle as to not crash. "No o-o-one can hurt you, Del. I w-w-won't let them," he smiled and though she couldn't see, she knew.
"My knight in shining armor, aren't you?" She laughed, leaning her head gently on his back.
"J-J-Just yours."
They arrived at their houses and they exchanged a goodbye before walking into the front doors of their respective homes. She saw her father reading a newspaper on the couch with a cup of coffee in his hand.
He greeted her with a warm smile and informed her that he had some news he'd like to share during dinner. She nodded in understanding before going up to her room to shower. The day had been impossibly scorching. And she was glad she had only worn a tank top that day or else she might have gotten a pit stain.
She decided to take a bath since it was still long before dinner and it had been a while since she last took one. She waited until the tub was filled close to the brim before adding her favourite expensive body wash that she really only used during baths.
Her hands swiflty moved in the water to mix the two liquids and when it was ready, she undressed herself, swinging one leg into the white tub. Adelaide felt her body slightly shudder at the touch of the cold water that soon soaked her skin, ridding her of all her worries.
Her head laid back as her hands rested on the sides of the tub. Adelaide's grey eyes shut closed as her breathing deepened. Her young mind free and blank of the tension and uneasiness that had gloomed over her for the past week.
She didn't want to think about any of that. Not of the lizards, not of the bloody bathroom, not of rotting Georgie, not of Eddie's leper, not of Mike's memory, not of Stan's messed up woman, not of Ben's headless boy, not of the clown.
She had only thought of her friends, all 7 of them and how perfect they all fit together. 8 of them, barely anything in common yet there they were. Within such a short amount of time, Adelaide had began loving Beverly, Ben and Mike. They were amazing people and friends in addition to the four boys she had grown up with.
Adelaide could hear the distant click going off as though to say that was it. Whatever it was that was supposed to happen, it would soon. It would because everything was in place, like a plan set in motion. The Losers Club had all the members already and it was all just a perfect fit. But she knew, whatever that plan was, it was not one she looked forward to. So she shook it off her mind.
