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

Chapter 19

22 years later... (2016)

Eddie was on the phone with his wife when got a call from a random number from Derry, Maine. "I can't! I'm going to be late to this..." He trailed off when he saw the number pop up on his screen. He felt a weird feeling in his stomach that told him he needed to answer the call. "Meeting."

"Okay, I love you, Eddie." Myra's voice came from over the phone.

"I love you too Mommy." He mentally cursed to himself at that moment.

"What?"

"Myra. Bye." He said quickly hanging up before answering the unknown number. "Who is this?"

"It's me, Mike."

"Mike who?" Eddie wasn't paying attention because a taxi came flying into the side of his car.

"Eddie?! Are you okay?!"

"Yeah! Pretty good! Just almost died!" Eddie laughed awkwardly.

Richie was about to go on the stage when he got a call from Derry. His mouth dropped and he knew what it was. "Who is this?"

"Mike Hanlon, but please don't get in a car crash like Eddie did or freak out as Bill did. Meet me at the Chinese restaurant in Derry on Monday."

Richie felt sick as he felt his breakfast go up to his throat as he ran outside and threw up over the balcony. He remembered everything suddenly. He remembered how Eddie looked and how he sounded. He wasn't this blurry memory anymore and neither were his friends and it.

"You okay Rich?"

"Yeah just overwhelmed.... I'll be there."

"Okay see you later."

Tw: Suicide (I'm sure you can guess what part this is)

Stan had just got the call from Mike and he felt extremely overwhelmed. He couldn't do this. He wasn't brave enough. How was he going to face Bill? He couldn't do this at all so when his wife went to sleep he started a bath and lied there, grabbing the sharp object he found on the floor of his living room.

He picked it up and the memories of the blood oak came flooding back to him. He saw Bill pick up the piece of glass as he grabbed the object. When he cut his hand deep on purpose he saw Bill in front of him as he cut him with the piece of glass. Bill wouldn't leave his mind as he got light headed from the loss of blood. He heard Bills speech over and over again. When he felt his eyes start to close he spoke. "I promise Bill."

And with that his eyes closed and his mind went blank...
