Stand By Me x Reader ( Teddy Duchamp <3 )

Thanks Teddy

Y/n's POV:

" Come on you guys? Open up!? "
Gordie opened the door,
And it was indeed Vern.
" Oh, man,
you guys are not gonna believe this.
This is so boss! "
Vern explained and he sounded out of breath too
as he climbed in the tree house.
He sat down on a chair across Gordie and I.
" Oh man, wait till you hear this wai- "
He stopped his sentence when his eyes went to me.
" Y/n? "
He asked, pointing to me, as Gordie
shut the door.
" Atleast someone remembers me."
I laughed as I got up to hug Vern.
" Y/n!! What..!? Wait.. How?... Why are you here? "
Verno asked still out of breath as he pulled away from the hug.
" I moved back a few weeks ago, but it's
good to see you, Verno. "
I chuckled ruffling his short hair
going back to my seat.
" You're just- you've changed?! You're-
You're prettier?! And taller than me?!? "
He yelled in disbelief making us laughed then
I looked to see Teddy glaring at him.
" Anyways, continue what you were saying. "
I awkwardly said looking at Vern.
" Okay uh, You won't believe it! It's unbelievable!....
Let me catch my breath...
I ran all the way from my house. "
He panted, all 4 of us, Teddy, Chris, Gordie and I looked at each other as if
we thought the same thing,
" I ran all the way home! Just to say I'm sorry!!
Sorry oh! What can I say!!! "
We started singing as Teddy joined using a hair brush a microphone.
But on the other hand Vern was trying to get
us to stop.
I mean, I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.

" Okay...
Forget it. I don't have to tell you nothing. "
Vern scoffed as he laid back.
" Ho- Hold on you guys, hold on. What is it man? "
Chris said as they stopped singing seeing a smile back on Vern's face.
" Okay great, you won't believe this. Sincerely I- "
" I ran all the way home!! "
We started singing again and laughed
as Vern decided to give up.
" Screw you guys. Forget it. "
He sighed.
" What is it? "
Chris smiled, taking a puff from his cigar.
" Can you guys camp out tonight? I mean if you tell your folks we're gonna tent out my back field? "
Vern asked us, as Chris put the table back
and they started
playing again.
" Yeah I think so. Except my dad's kind of on a
mean streak.
You know, been drinking a lot lately. "
Chris responded, as he dealt the cards out.
" You got to man! Sincerely, you won't believe this!
Can you, Gordie? "
Vern questioned.
" Yeah, probably. "
He responded not taking his eyes off the magazine.
" So what are pissin and moanin about, Verno? "
Teddy groaned.
" I knock. "
Chris spoke up as he knocked on the table.
" What?! You liar! You ain't got no pat hand!
You didn't deal yourself
no pat hand! "
Teddy whined while Chris was still laughing.
" Make your draw, shitheap. "
Chris smirked and started chucking afterwards.

Me on the other hand,
I was thinking about how...
Teddy looks really cute when he's stubborn?
Wait don't think of him like that again
he's-
" You guys want to go see a dead body? "
Vern's sentence made me have chills down my spine.
That's when each of us stop to what we're doing
and our attention went to Vern.
" W- W- What? "
I stuttered as my left leg started bouncing.

Then Vern started explaining how he buried
a jar of his pennies
underneath his house, at the beginning
of the school year.
He had a map but his mom threw it away and
he's been looking for it for over 9 months...
He over heard his older brother, Billy, and a friend  of his talk about how they found
the missing kid....
( Ray Brower ) somewhere in,
Back Harlow Road?
And well now we, I mean they might go and take a look, for themselves..

Those topics always make me feel uneasy,
I don't know why...
The boys were still talking but I was soo lost in my thoughts I zoned out of the conversation.
" And then after dark, a train must have come along and.... El - Smacko.. "
Teddy smacked his hands together
making me flinch and
snap out of it.
" You okay, Y/n? "
" Hm? "
I blinked my eyes a couple times.
" Earth to Y/n, you okay?"
I realized it was Teddy speaking.
" Ye- Yeah, I'm cool. "
I nodded but soon zoned out again but
I was still sort of listening...
They were all talking about how we...
Well they
could be on the paper, hero's
or even on be on Tv
if they found the missing kid....
And I agree with Vern, I don't really think it's a good idea either...
But I kept quiet, cause
I don't even know if I was even invited,
or coming with them.
I snapped back to reality
when I heard Vern say, " What'll we tell our folks? "
I guess that means they are going to see
the dead kid......
