Stand By Me x Reader ( Teddy Duchamp <3 )

The Body

Y/n's POV:

With still Chris and Gordie taking the lead,
Vern, Teddy and I were behind them while walking amongst the tracks.
" Coming through the woods, I bet we saved
over an hour. "
Chris spoke up breaking the silence.
That's when my cousin slowed his pace from walking.
" Teddy? "
He said looking around.
" Yeah? "
Teddy answered while Vern and I stopped walking.
" Is this the Black Harlow Road? "
We looked to the right to see another path.
A sign saying
" Absolutely No Hunting " up on a tree.
" Yeah. "
Teddy answered when,
" The Brower kid must be around here some place...
Teddy, you, Vern and Y/n watch
the left side of the tracks.
We'll take the right. "
Chris ordered while we headed our separate ways.
" All right. "
Teddy replied while I walked next to him.
Chris and Gordie were looking on the right and
Vern was somewhere ahead of Teddy and I
on the left.
I can't believe we're actually gonna see
a dead kids body....
" Teddy I don't have a good feeling
about this... "
I spoke up.
" Relax, we're gonna be fine. Don't worry. "
He gave me a re - assuring smile.

That's when...

" There he is! I see him! Look!!! "
We heard Vern shout and the 4 of us bolted to
where he was.
" Look over there! I see him! I SEE HIM! "
Vern pointed to where we could see a pair of legs poking out on some covered bushes....
I gulped the lump that was in my throat...
Chris suddenly gently pushed Gordie and Vern out of his way to make it down the slope.
Us following afterwards but I was behind, hesitant to see more of the body..
I couldn't even speak at this point, the kid was really dead...
" Oh my god... "
I put both my hands over my mouth.
" Jesus... "
Chris whispered while he took a stick to move a branch off Ray Browers' face.
I looked at the other to see an emotionless
expression on their faces and I couldn't blame them.
He was really dead...
" Let's look for some long branches.
We'll build him a stretcher. "
Chris ordered us while Vern, Teddy and I did so.
" Here. "
Vern and Teddy helped me pull a branch out but
Gordie and Chris got our attention,
making us stop.
" Gordie? "
Both Chris and I said in sync, since my cousin was sitting down on a log.
" Why did you have to die..? "
It was like Gordie was talking to Ray Brower.

Oh Gordie..

I felt bad for him, and wanted say something but,
" What's the matter with Gordie? "
Vern asked.
" Vern... "
I looked to him.
" Nothing... Why don't you guys go over there and look for some more branches, okay? "
Chris pointed to a tree that had some lose branches.
" Okay. "
Teddy nodded and both him and Vern looked for some branches.
" Hey Chris. "
I called out.
" Yeah? "
He turned back.
" You got this? "
I asked since I knew well, you know..
" Yeah. "
He has gave me a warm smile and I walked to where Vern and Teddy were.
We didn't really speak while we gathered a few branches.
I could hear Gordie cry from behind,
how I wish I could just comfort him but I knew Chris
handled it.
" Oh how bout this one? "
Vern pulled up a pretty short branch.
" You idiot he specifically said long branches. "
Teddy groaned while Vern tried to argue with him.
" He's not wrong? "
I chuckled picking up a few more branches.
But that's when we heard a low male voice
from the tracks.
Shit..

We looked at each other not really
knowing what to do..
" What the fuck do you know about this? "
" Son of a bitch! My little brother. "
It was Eyeball and Ace...
" Shit.. "
I pulled Vern and Teddy to where Chris was.
Vern on Chris' left then Teddy to his right and I was behind Teddy.
Vern let my hand go but Teddy was gripping onto mine...
" You wasn't planning on taking the body from us,
was you, boys? "
Ace questioned us while him and Chris' brother walked down.
Apparently I'm a boy now too?
" You get away man.. We found him, We got dibs. "
Chris answered.
" We better start running, Eyeball.
They got dibs. "
Ace said sarcastically with a smirk on his face.
" We earned him, man. You guys came in a car.
That's not fair. He's ours. "
Chris argued making his point, but I looked back to see my cousin behind watching the scene happen.
" That's not fair. He's ours. Well, not anymore. "
Eyeball mocked Chris letting a light out.
" There are 5 of us, Eyeball.
You just make your move. "
Teddy added while I squeezed his hand from behind,
making him shut up before things get worse
from here.
" Oh, we will, Don't you worry.. "
Ace cocked his head up, our heads turning to see a bunch of his other gang members,
including Vern's older brother, Billy..
" Vern, you little son of a whore! You was under the porch"
He started marching towards us and he looked pretty pissed..
" No, no I swear, it wasn't me! "
Vern denied as took a few steps back, holding his hands out in front of him.
" You keyhole-beeping bung. I ought to beat the living shit out of you! "
Billy took his belt out while he walked to us.
" Vern, run. "
I whispered to him and he ran for his life, and God knows where he ran??
