Richie and Evelyn were still in the car as Richie drives them to the inn.

"So, What do you mean about leaving Derry?", Evelyn nervously asks.

"It doesn't matter, You, Eddie and I are leaving Derry and that's not up for discussion!", Richie yells

"Okay, I was just asking", Evelyn quietly mutters.

"What did you say?, Richie asks her.

"Nothing!", she replies back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beverly was sitting in the steps in the inn looking sadly at a poem written to her by a boy.

Ben walks in to see her, "hey".

"Hey", she replies back.

"So, What did you see out there?", Ben asks.

"Something I wish I hadn't", she replies.

"So What?", Ben says sitting next to her.

"We kill it then we just forget everything again", Ben continues.

"I hope so, don't you?", Beverly asks.

"I don't know, I guess I just want to hold on to the good stuff you know", Ben says.

Beverly lightly nods

"Cmon, there must be something from the past that you don't want to forget again", Ben insists.

"I remember being scared shitless", she replies.

Ben shakes his head, "Cold".

Beverly smiles at him, "I remember you guys in your tidy widies".

"Uh, Okay please forget that moment", Ben nervously says.

"I remember Eve always their to cheer everyone up", she says.

"yeah", Ben says smiling.

"I remember this", Beverly says showing Ben the postcard with the poem which he recognizes.

"I remember the boy who wrote it for me. Not him so much but how he made me feel and ... a kiss", Beverly says smiling.

Ben smiles and blushes.

"It's all still blurry but I think the longer we're here the more I can see it. The more I can see that moment. The more I can see ... Bill", she says.

Ben smiles disappears.

"I think? I don't know, do you remember?", she asks him.

Before Ben could reply, Richie opens the door.

Richie dragged Evelyn by the wrist as he walked up to them.

"Move move", Richie says going up the stairs as he lets go on Evelyn's wrist. Evelyn walks up the stair too.

"I'm leaving and Evelyn is coming too", Richie says walking upwards.

"Rich, We can't leave", Evelyn says shocking everyone. For the first time she was not on Richie's side.

Richie for a few moments couldn't believe Evelyn was disagreeing with him.

"Fine, then but I'm leaving!", Richie bitterly says.

"What, you can't leave man. We split, we all die", Ben states.

"Yeah, I'll take my chances were gonna die anyway", Richie says.

Before, Ben could question Evelyn she had walked in front of Richie to go to her room to think.

"Rich, Eve", Ben says going after them.
