Say You Love Me. Richie Tozier X Fem Reader.

T H R E E

I walked through the empty road, singing a song I didn't know the name of when I came across the almost naked boys and one almost naked girl, they all looked over at me and I blushed, trying to hide my face from seeing them. 

"Wanna join us?" Richie asked me, I took my hands out of my face and looked everyone up and down. 

"I guess.." I said as I put my cassette player down, soon everyone began to jump in as I took my clothes off, I looked down at the smiling faces of everyone trying to get me in, I stepped toward the edge but hands pulled me back and turned me over, my brother Henry furious.

I could hear everyone yelling my name and asking if I was alright "What have I told you?! STOP HANGING AROUND THESE RETARDS!" Henry yelled in my face.

I stuttered on my words from the fear he brought me, his nails digging into the skin of my shoulders "S-s-sorry Henry" His eyes narrowed and he laughed, beginning to whisper in my ear. 

"Sorry isn't gonna cut the rabbit from the ribbon, little sister" His nails left my skin and he walked away, I could still hear the cries of everyone who wanted to know if I was alright, Henry grabbed the cassette player and walked to the edge, everyone turning their screams to him "You wanna jump? Go ahead, JUMP!" Henry released the player from his hand and I screamed and jumped after it, grabbing it and holding it tightly as the rush of cold water took me in. 

It was gone, the thing I love most, the thing that comforted me, the thing that took me away from the pain, was now gone, I felt an electric shock run through me, everyone else got out of the water after feeling the slight glitches of pain, the barrier of water around me buzzed and sparkled electric fire, as everyone screamed at me in fear, I fell unconscious.

I felt the warm sun and breaths of air being blown into me, it was Richie, I really expected someone else to do it but whatever, technically this is my first kiss. I was kind of happy because well.. I liked Richie, a gasped and opened my eyes, coughing out the gallons of water as my eyes darted to everyone, having sighs of relief that they didn't witness a death. 

"Oh my god! Are you alright?!" A red-headed short haired girl asked me, I nodded and stood up. I ran over to Richie and hugged him tightly. 

"Thank you for saving my life!" Richie brought his hands to my back and I could feel everyone's eyes on us. 

I let my head fall on his shoulder as he hugged me back "Your welcome" I could feel a warm smile on his face, so I kissed his cheek. His face filled with blush as everyone let out 'oooh!' and even a 'finally someone did it' whatever that meant, I let go of him and we smiled at each other. 

"I better get home, I- I need to clean up and get a new cassette player" I sighed, Richie stopped me by taking hold of my hand and everyone crowded around me. 

"You can't go home! Bowers literally almost killed you!" Richie yelled, I held my head low as everyone agreed. 

"Yeah, and what if Henry tries to kill you again?" The redheaded girl asked, with beautiful eyes and pretty hair, her name is Beverly. 

"Y-you can't go home, y/n. We should all g-go to the police and-" I cut Bill off and shook my head. 

"I don't want dad to hurt Henry" I muttered, everyone shocked. 

"But he hurt you!" Stan yelled as he messed with his sandy brown curls.

"He was mad! I disobeyed his rules! I shouldn't have hung out with you guys!" I teared up, releasing a single tear, everyone looked up and started babbling, I turned around and Henry's hand gripped my shoulder once more. 

"Let's go" Henry dragged me away and I tried to escape his clasp, but it only grew tighter, almost like I was a crazy person, going to an insane asylum, I begged for him to let me go but he took the pocket knife he stole from dad up to my neck. 

"You better shut up or you'll be covered in red" I quickly stopped and he pulled the knife away, god I missed Richie, I missed all my new friends, I miss everything that brought me comfort, I love Richie.
