Bill sets up the map on his wall while me and Stan sit at the very back of the group,eating popcorn I took from home

Every now and then Eddie would glance back and I would smile at him making him blush

Stan soon caught on and would tease Eddie anytime he looked back,blowing him kisses or pretending to be me and smiling,twirling his non existent hair

Beverly closes the garage door and the whole garage turns dark,the only light source being the projector

Ben then hands Bill the map of old Derry and Bill sticks it In the projector

Everyone but Bill sits down

"Look" Bill points to the map,we all look closely "that's where G-g-Georgie disappeared....there's the iron works...and the black spot. Everywhere It happens,it's....it's all connected by the sewers...." Me and Stan look at eachother "and they all meet up at the-"

"-the well house" Ben finishes

"It's in the house on Neibolt street" Stan speaks up as I shove the bucket of popcorn on his lap,he happily takes it

"You mean that creepy ass house where all the junkies and hobos like to sleep?" Richie asks

"I've been in there before,I don't remember anything happening" I say shrugging

"You've been in there before?" Beverly asks and I nod "why on earth would you go in there?"

"I was seven and I saw a fucking bunny go in there,obviously it was a year It wasn't back"

I hear the noise of Eddie's puffer being used and see him sitting infront of me,freaking out

I quickly move next to him and kneel down,rubbing his back

"Hey,you're ok" I try to calm him down "Ed's look at me" he does,calming down a little

"I hate that place...it always feels like it's watching me"

"That's where I saw it" Eddie says,his breathing heavy "that's where I saw the clown" he says again and I frown

"T-t-that's....that's where it lives"

Eddie takes another puff from his puffer,he was beginning to freak out again

"I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there" Stan says and I nod along,continuing to rub Eddie's back

Suddenly Eddie stands,turning to face us with his back to the projector

"Can we stop talking about this? I can barley breathe!" He begins to heavily breathe and I stand up "this is summer,we're kids and I can barley breathe! I'm up here having a fucking asthma attack!" Then,he rips the map of

I quickly walk up to Eddie and bring him in for a hug,he instantly hugs back,shaking

"What the hell! Put the map back" Bill says and Eddie shakes his head,holding me close

"Mmm-mmm" he continues to shake his head

Suddenly the pictures begin moving on their own and Eddie uses his puffer again,even though he was calm,then I realise it was probably me making him nervous again so I let go of the hug and move away from him

"What happened?" Bill asks rhetorically

"What the fuck is going on?" I ask,beginning to freak out myself

"I got it,hold on" Mike stands up,walking up to the projector and trying to fix it "guys-" he cuts himself of as the pictures suddenly change from pictures of Georgie and Bill to their family photo

Then,suddenly,the projector begins to zoom in on Georgie

"Bill?" Stan also begins to freak out

The projector begins going faster,zooming more and more in and Richie walks up to me,grabbing my arm

Then it goes even faster,changing to Bills mom,and we watch in horror as his mom suddenly changed into the clown

All of us begin panicking

"What the fuck!" Richie screams,pulling me backwards with him "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" Richie screams and I pull him behind me,I could tell he was freaking out a lot more then everyone else

As this was his fear,the fucking clown

"I don't fucking know!" Eddie screams In horror

"Turn in off! Turn it off!" Beverly yells

"Would if we could Bev" I say nervously

"Yeah! Yeah turn it off! Turn it off!" Stan screams

Me and Mike kick the projector at the same time,breathing heavily as the clown disappears from the picture

But then,the projector starts up again and the clown is back in the picture,my eyes widen

It slowly flashes,each time the clown is there...until it's not

Then,it flashes again and It is there,big,and fucking terrifying

Everyone screams and runs for the garage door,Beverly backs up into a corner and I do to but the one on the other side of the garage,away from everyone

Then,the clown gives me the creepiest smile,crawling towards me and I pick up an iron bar,ready to smack the fuck out of it

But it stretches it's arm out and picks me up,choking me

Then,it leans in,about to eat me when suddenly light floods the room and I fall to the ground,choking on air

Richie and Eddie are the first to rush to me

"Fuck Yn! Are you ok?" Richie asks as he helps me up,hugging me tightly

I nod as I pull away from the hug,catching my breath

Then,Eddie pulls me into his arms and I close my eyes,even spite what just happened somehow Eddie made it all feel better

"It saw us" Eddie begins "it saw us and it knows where we are and it hurt Yn and I'm gonna fucking kill it!" he says all at once and I pull away,discreetly kissing his cheek while everyone was busy checking up on eachother

He blushes red and I turn to face everyone,they all quickly hug me

"It always did" Bill says calmly "are you ok Y-Y-Yn?" Bill asks and I nod "s-so let's go!" Bill walks up to his bike

"Go? Go where?" Ben asks back

"Neibolt...that's where Georgie is-"

"-after that?" Stan asks "Bill we could've lost Yn" he says as he pulls me to his side

"I'm fine don't worry about me,plus I think Bill is right" I walk over to Bill's side,picking up my bike

"It's summer...we should be outside-"

"-if you say it's summer one more F-f-fucking time"

Bill gets on his bike and I get on mine,we both begin to ride of,the group calling out to us

"Thanks for sticking with me" Bill says and I smile at him

"Your crazy,but your a badass"
