chapter seven - bloody

The next morning, Beverly had called all the Losers to get them to come to her apartment... Something happened there... They all rode their bikes then and Beverly was sitting on the steps, smoking a cigarette as she waited for them.

Stan was arguing with Eddie on how to get there, "No, we gotta go through the alleyway." "The alley takes way too long." Eddie told him causing Stan to say, "No, the alley is so much faster." Beverly heard them and she got up and running to the railing.

"The alley is more dangerous and it's disgusting." Eddie said an Maddie asked, "How is it more dangerous?" Beverly got rid of her cigarette and she began to come down. "It smells like piss and it's gross. Just take the side streets for once." Eddie told her. "Oh, my god. The side streets are the same. They smell like piss and shit." Stan said.

Beverly ran down the stairs past another girl who was sitting on the steps. "Okay, okay. Can you just tell me what she said exactly?" Eddie asked. "She didn't say anything. She just said that we needed to hurry over." Maddie said as Beverly reached the bottom and met with them as they arrived. She didn't say anything yet. "Okay. Okay." Eddie said and then they arrived.

Beverly told them, "You made it. I... I need to show you something." "What is it?" Ben asked and Richie than said, "More than we saw at the quarry?" "Shut up! Just shut up, Richie." Eddie told them and Beverly told the group, "My dad will kill me if he finds out I had boys in the apartment."

"Then we'll leave a lookout. Richie, stay here." Bill told him. As Maddie, Bill, Eddie, Ben, and Stan left their bikes and accompanied Beverly to the apartment. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What if her dad comes back?" Richie asked and Stan glanced at Richie as Maddie, Ben, Bill, Eddie, and Beverly ascend the steps. "Do what you always do. Start talking." Stan said and then turned to follow the others up the stairs. "It is a gift!" Richie yelled.

Beverly led Maddie, Bill, Eddie, Ben, and Stan into the hallway towards the bathroom. "In there." Beverly said and they glanced at the closed bathroom door. "What is it?" Maddie asked and the redhead told her, "You'll see." As they walked towards the bathroom, Eddie said, "Are you taking us to your bathroom? I just want you to know that 89% of the worst accidents in homes are caused in bathrooms. And, I mean, that's where all the bacteria and fungi are and it's not a really sanitary place..."

Bill opened the bathroom door and inside, the bathroom was covered in blood. "I knew it!" Eddie said and gagged. "You see it?" Beverly asked Eddie said, "Yes." "What... What happened in here?" Stan asked. Beverly just said, "My dad couldn't see it. I thought I might be crazy."

"Well, if you're crazy, then we're all crazy." Ben said. "We c-c-can't leave it like this." Bill told them and they walked in while Beverly went and grabbed the cleaning supplies and yellow cleaning gloves. They then began to clean the bathroom.

During the whole thing, they were squeezing out the pop and towels. They were using paper towels, sponges and a cleaning brush. When the buckets got full of blood, they poured it down the bathtub. Maddie was helping with everything. When they were getting done, Maddie held two trash bags while others picked up some paper towels that were on the floor.

They put them in the trash bags. Once they got done, Eddie ran out immediately. Beverly and Bill poured out the two buckets full of blood, down the shower/bathtub drain. Maddie tied up a trash bag so nothing could get out. Stan took one that was tied up. Maddie tied up the second one once she finished, Maddie went to grab it.

"Here, let me take that for you." Ben said grabbing the trash bag for Maddie. "Oh! Thanks, Ben." Maddie said smiling and Ben walked out. She looked and made sure everything was clean. Maddie the left to go outside with the boys as her brother and Beverly were talking.

As the Losers waited for Beverly and Bill, they finally came out. They began to walk with their bikes as Richie rode his bike in circles around them. "No, I love being your personal doorman, really. Could you idiots have taken any longer?" "All right, shut up, Richie." Maddie said and Stan told him, "Yeah, shut up, Richie."

"Oh, okay, trash the trashmouth, I get it. Hey, I wasn't the one scrubbing the bathroom floor and imagining that her sink went all Eddie's mom's vagina on Halloween." Richie told them and the twins walked slowly. "She didn't imagine it. Maddie and I-i-i... We saw something, too." Bill said and everyone stopped.

"You guys saw blood, too?" Stan asked and Maddie said, "Not blood." "We saw Georgie. It seemed so real. I mean, it seemed like him, but there was t-t-this..." Bill was interrupted by Eddie saying, "The clown. Yeah, I saw him, too." Bill and Maddie looked at Ben and Stan, they nodded too meaning they saw the clown or something as well.

"Wait, can only virgins see this stuff? Is that why I'm not seeing this shit?" Richie asked them. "Oh, shit, that's Belch Huggins' car. We should probably get outta here." Eddie said as he saw the car. "Wait, isn't that the homeschooled kid's bike?" Bill asked and Maddie replied, "Yeah, that's Mike's."

Then Maddie told the boys, "We have to help him." "We should?" Eddie asked her and Beverly agreed with Maddie, "Yes." The girls then took off, the boys following the two as well. Stan was behind a bit due to pushing his kickstand down.

Mike was delivering meat until Henry, Patrick and able jumped him. They were trying to making him 'eat' the raw meat. "Come on. Eat that meat!" Henry yelled. "Eat it, bitch!" Bleach yelled. "You little fucker!" Patrick yelled. "Bitch! Motherfucker! Eat it, you little bitch! Pussy!" They all were yelling but Mike then saw something...

He saw the clown. The clown had blood around his mouth, held a severed hand. As Henry said, "Whatcha gonna do, huh? Get up!", The clown waved the hand at Mike, freaking him out. Mike tried to get up but Belch kicked him in the face. Mike landed on his back, causing Henry to get on him. Mike fought but Henry still got Mike's hands by his side. Henry grabbed a rock as Patrick yelled, "Come on, Henry, smack him!"

Henry went to hit Mike in the head with a rock until... A rock hit Henry in the head, knocking him off of Mike. It was Maddie. As they grabbed rocks, Stan said to Maddie, "Nice throw." Maddie just told Stan, "Thanks." Mike crawled to them and Henry saw Beverly was there.

He told them, "You losers are trying too hard. She'll do you. You just gotta ask nicely, like I did." Henry grabbed his groin and then, meaning Maddie, Henry said, "I bet the freak would do it as well." Ben was mad at what he said about Maddie. He yelled and threw a rock at him, nailing Henry in the forehead.

"What the fuck?" Patrick asked as they began throwing rocks at them. "Come on, get 'em! Fuck!" Henry yelled. "Rock war!" Richie screamed but got hit by a rock. "Get 'em!" Belch said and the Losers were winning. The Losers were getting out of the way so a rock wouldn't hit them.

"Fuck you, motherfuckers!" Richie yelled. Eddie got in the water, throwing rocks still. "Eddie!" Bill yelled out as Mike joined in after getting his strength back. "Fuck outta here!" Richie yelled. Beverly threw one at Belch as he yelled, "Fuck you, bitch!" lCome on, guys! Let's get 'em!" Eddie yelled.

"Fuck this." Patrick said and Belch told him, "Let's out of here." "Fuck you, losers!" Patrick yelled as he and Belch got out of there, leaving Henry behind. Henry was on the floor in pain. The Losers looked at him. Bill looked at his sister and Beverly. Maddie smiled at her brother, proud of what they just did.

Stan and Eddie helped Mike as the other Losers got out of there. Henry looked at Richie as he yelled, "Go blow your dad, you mullet-wearing asshole!" Richie then caught up to the group. "Thanks, guys, but you shouldn't have done that. They'll be after you guys, too, now." Mike told them. They walked in a line, Maddie was in front of Ben and behind Beverly.

"Oh, no, no, no. Bowers? He's always after us." Eddie told Mike. "I guess that's one t-t-thing we all have in common." Bill told Mike. "Yeah, Homeschool. Welcome to the Losers' Club!" Richie said and they all left the field they were walking through.
