Alone Again | Reddie (unfinished, but no longer writing)

Chapter 8

It had been 2 days since the losers had defeated it and everything was a mess when it came to everyone's love life. Mike was the one who was keeping the group together.

Eddie and Richie were arguing and ignoring each other again. They both wanted nothing more than to smash their lips together, but it wasn't that easy. There were people like Eddie's mom and Henry Bowers. There was also Stephanie Young. Eddies fucking girlfriend. Yes, he had asked her out. "He is so annoying Mike. All I feel is complete jealousy! He always gives me these hints that he likes me then he pushes me away!"

"He just has a lot of internalized homophobia. He's scared. Just give him some more time or make a move. Yelling and ignoring each other isn't helping. I suggest having a heart-to-heart with him or just asking him. Yes, it's risky, but we're teenagers! We are going to get heartbroken and betrayed." Mike suggested.

"Thanks, Mike, I'll talk to him when I get a burst of courage."

Then there was Bill. Stan was acting like their kiss never happened and Bill was getting frustrated. Ben and Beverly were also silent after their little kiss. So basically, they were all having love problems.

Bill was watching E.T when he heard a knock on his door. He sighed, pausing the movie and opening the door to reveal a nervous-looking Stan. "Hey! Whats u-."

Without warning, Stan smashed their lips together. Bill quickly kissed back. Bill would have loved for the kiss to last longer, but he couldn't risk it so he pulled away. "Stan! Someone could have seen us!" Bill's stutter had also randomly disappeared after the last two days.

"Sorry. I just had to. I'm so sorry for acting like you never kissed me." Stan apologized.

"It's okay. Come in." Bill smiled and they both sat on the couch.

"I liked the kiss by the way." Stan smiled.

"So did I." Bill agreed with a smile, feeling more confident and bold. "You know, we are inside now." He smirked. "And my parents aren't here so, I'm all yours Stan." Stan laughed and pulled Bill into another kiss.

After their little make-out session, they cuddled and finished E.T.

The losers were all sitting at the Barrens. Beverly had just begun telling about what she saw in the deadlights. "I saw all of us. All of us were there. Like before, but older. We were our parent's ages."

"Am I still handsome as an adult?" Richie smiled putting his hands on his cheeks and smiling. Eddie stifled a laugh as he smiled. Richie smiled at the boy.

"You grow into your looks." Beverly smiled.

Eddie laughed again and Richie turned to him. "What the fuck does that mean." Richie laughed with a big smile on his face.

"What about me?" Stanley smiled.

"Probably handsome." Bill shrugged. Stan blushed and Beverly rolled her eyes.

"Can you save it, Bill? Like now, but taller Stan."

Bill then stood up, grabbing a piece of glass off the ground. "Promise, if it isn't dead. If it ever comes back. We'll come back too."

Bill then cut a deep cut on all of their hands. They then formed a circle and held hands. Then they all just sat down and started their own conversations. Stanley was the first to leave, then Eddie who surprisingly pulled Richie into a hug before he left.

After that Richie left and then Ben. Leaving Bill and Beverly. "I should go before my dad kills me. See you next week on the first day of high school." Beverly smiled.

"Bye! Have fun on your date with Ben!" Bill smirked.

"Omg stoppp! For the last time, it's not a date." Beverly groaned. Bill gave her a look that said 'really?' "Fine. Maybe it is."

Bill stood up with excitement. "Ha! Knew it!"

"Okay okay, but I do have to go now before Ash kills me for being late to her ultimate makeover as she calls it."

"Okay bye," Bill said giving her a quick hug.

"Bye." She smiled as she ran off.
