"You o-okay, Carli?" Bill's voice spoke up from behind me, "Just enjoying the water Billy." I told him, swimming closer to him.
"You sure?" He asked uncertain of my reply. "Yeah, just didn't want to be getting in the way." I told him sadly. The conf...

°Third Person's POV°
In Bill's garage, all the loser's were gathered after the festival, the garage were darkened and the door was closed after everyone arrived, Bill's father's map of the sewer lines was up on the wall and over the map was a picture shown from the projector, of the map of Derry.
"Okay." Everyone got seated when Bill spoke up. "Look, that's where G-g-georgie and Alex disappeared, there's the ironworks and the blackspot. Everywhere it happens, it's all connected by the sewers, and they all meet up at the..." Bill says, Ben interrupting him. "The well house."
Carlita felt her skin crawl, she never did like that particular house, that address itself gave her the creeps. "It's in the house on Neibolt street." Stanley says. "You mean that creepy ass house where all the junkies and hobo's like to sleep?" Richie asks curiously.
"I hate that place. It always feels like it's watching me." Beverly says, who was next to Carlita. "That's where I saw it. That's where I saw the clown." Eddie spoke up, having a hard time breathing. "That's where It lives." Carlita mumbles, her chest starting to feel tight once again.
"I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there." Stanley says looking at the others. Eddie jumped up from his seat facing his friends. "Can we stop talking about this? I can barely breathe, this is summer, we're kids, I can barely breathe. I'm up here having a fucking asthma attack. I'm not doing this." Eddie states, freaking out, he rips off the map from the wall.
Carlita felt like her heart was going to be ripped out from her chest at any moment. "What the hell? Put the map back." Bill snaps at Eddie.
The projector started flipping through a bunch of pictures. "What happened?" Carlita softly asks, Eddie stepping back, joining the others. "What's going on?" Stanley asks looking at the thing in question. Mike stepped closer, "I got it. Hold on." he says, taking a look at what could possibly be the problem, Mike pulled out the plug, but it was still on.
"Guys..."
It stopped on one picture, a Denbrough family picture and started zooming in on Georgie with each click.
"Georgie."
Carlita looked at Bill worried. "Bill?" Stanley questions in fear, the projector was clicking rapidly. Carlita started getting a headache, her heart beating so fast, it felt like it could jump out of her chest, the picture moved to Bill's mother, her hair in her face, the more it zoomed, a face got clearer, and the face that was revealed wasn't Mrs Denbrough's, it was the clown's.
Carlita was gasping for air at this point. "What the fuck!" Richie yells, "It's It!" Bill poins out, everyone moved back, Richie grabbed onto Eddie as the projector kept on clicking, "What the fuck is that? What the fuck is that?" Richie yelled in his ear. "I don't fucking know!" Eddie yelled back. Carlita wasn't able to move she was frozen in fear.
"Turn it off. Turn it off!" Beverly yells out. "Yeah, yeah, turn it off! Turn it off!" Richie yells in agreement. Mike went and kicked it over,but it was still on, but no clown, when it clicked again, the clown appeared in the garage.
"Run Stanley!"
It came at them, "What is it?" Eddie yelled, Beverly and Carlita got separated from the boys, that's when the clown went for them. It reached out to grab them, its mouth fulled with a lot more teeth then a human could possibly have. Beverly covered her eyes, Carlita crouched down, hiding her head in her arms.
The garage door was opened and the clown disappeared, when Carlita realized the clown was gone, she got up and ran into Bill's arms trying her best to calm down. She pulled away and saw Mike has hurt his arm. "You okay Mikey?" She asks pointing at his arm, he only gave her a nod.
"It saw us. It saw us and It knows where we are." Eddie says, freaking out. "It always did. So let's go." Bill says making his way to his bike.
"Go? Go where?"
"Neibolt. That's where G-g-georgie and Alex is." Bill told them. "After that?" Stanley asks shocked. "Yeah, it's summer. We should be outside." Richie says looking at their friend, still in shock. "If you say it's summer one more fucking time..." Bill looked at Carlita, before he got on silver and drove away. "Bill! Wait up!" Carlita yelled after him, not believing he's actually doing this, on his own.
The loser's followed Bill, when they got to Neibolt, Bill was already on the stairs. "Bill! Bill, you can't go in there, this is crazy!" Beverly states, they put their bikes down, walking closer to him.
"Look, you don't have to come in with me, but what happens when another Georgie and Alex goes missing? Or another Betty? Or another Ed Corcoran? Or one of us? Are you just gonna pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home and all I see is that Georgie isn't there, his clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals, but... He isn't. So walking into this house for me it's easier than walking into my own." Bill explains to his friends
Carlita didn't give it a second thought and joined his side, taking his hand in hers, silently saying she'll follow him anywhere, which she would. "Wow." Richie says impressed. "What?" Ben asks confused. "He didn't stutter once." Richie pointd out, everyone ended up following behind Bill and Carlita.
"Wait! Shouldn't we have some people keep watch? You know just in case something bad happens?" Stanley asks, speaking up from the back of the group. "Who wants to stay here?" Bill asks, as most hands raised up into the air.
