Richie and Evelyn rode on his bike silently, Richie heard soft crying behind him.

He stops his bike and turns to Evelyn, to see her crying.

"Why are you crying? Did your ankle get worse!", Richie panics.

"N-no, it's not that. I-I just feel so worthless. I didn't mean what I said to Bill. I can't believe I said all of that. ", Evelyn sighs.

Richie stares at her then wraps his arms around her., "You know, I also didn't mean to say all those stuff to Bill, but he needed to know! Also, you'll never be perfect because no one is. But that makes you a cool person". 

Evelyn stayed quite looking at the ground.

Then suddenly a car drove towards them, it was Evelyn's parents.

As soon as they say her they stopped the car and quickly went to hug her.

"Evelyn, are you alright? What happened to you? I'll take you to the best doctor, I know", Evelyn's mother says.

"Who is this boy, did he hurt you!", Her father became protective of his daughter seeing Richie who was just standing there.

"No, dad. He helped me", Evelyn reassures her father.

"Oh, Well thank you for looking after my daughter. Young man", her father says.

"it's alright, sir", Richie awkwardly says.

"Mom, why are you here? I thought you and dad were busy?", Evelyn asked confused.

"Well, we got a call from the maid, a we instantly came. To see if your weren't hurt", her mother explains.

"But, I thought you had a important meeting", Evelyn says.

"Eve, don't worry about the meeting. Your safety and health is more important to us. We're sorry we haven't gotten the time to be with you but all the work we did was to provide you with the best life as possible", her mother says as her father agrees with her.

Evelyn couldn't believe what she was hearing, she was so overwhelmed, she looked at Richie as he whispers, "Go on, be with your family". 

Evelyn embraces her parents and shocking them saying the three words, the hadn't heard in a long time.

"I love you", she tells them.

Her parents smiled and hugged her back, telling her they loved her too.

Her parents, once again thanks Richie.

Evelyn leave with her parents as they take her out of town to see a good doctor for her ankle.

It's been a month, the losers club haven't seen each other since. Evelyn was able to see doctor who said that her ankle would be heal quickly.

She mostly spend her time with her parents, she did hang out with Richie though and Stanley. She wanted to also see Eddie but couldn't because of Eddie's mother.

She was enjoying her time,

But all good things soon come to a end.

Evelyn was sitting in her house but this time not alone. Her mum and dad were with her. She had a breakfast with them. Not alone. Soon her Father had to go to work. But she didn't mind because she new the work he does is to provide for her and that's why she would one day make her parents proud of her and be successful just like them.
