A/N:

Literally I am in so much mental pain here take this

''''''''''''''''''

Richie's POV:

'''''''

"Rich?"

"Yeah?"

"What's that?"
He pointed to the R + E carved into the wood.

"I.. I don't know, why? I never did that."

"Are.. You sure?"

I stayed quiet

"..Richie?"

"I don't want to talk about it, let's just go."

I was about to get my bike before I was stopped by Eddie, hugging me.

"What.. What are you doing?"

"I love you too."

My heart felt like it stopped as I quietly muttered, "No, this can't be real."

"You're right, Richie. This isn't real."

I looked at him, his face getting distorted as my surroundings got foggy.

"Wake up."
"Wake up!"

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Dude wake the fuck up!"

I opened my eyes, breathing heavily, Eddie was next to me, hands on my shoulders.

"What happened?"

"You were crying in your sleep, what the hell were you dreaming about?"

I rested my head back onto the wall as he took his hands off me.

"Nothing. Anyways I should tell Mike to get here, since we're both awake-"

"Richie, are you ok?"
He looked at me, a soft yet concerned expression. 

I felt a small blush creep onto my face, but I turned away.

"I'm fine," I sighed, "Everything's fine."

He stayed quiet, still sitting next to me, oddly close, but I payed little attention to it.

I texted Mike.

'''''

Hey, we're awake, you 
should get over here now

Mike 'N Ike

Ok, be there in 5.

'''''''''''''''''''''

Eddie was staring at me, I could tell, I kept my eyes glued to the screen.

"Why are you staring at me."

"I'm worried."

"No need to be."

"Yes there clearly is, Rich. You were crying in your sleep, whats wrong?"

I turned off my phone but kept my eyes on the blank screen.

"I'm afraid of losing you, again."

He hugged me, putting his head on my shoulder.

"Well I'm here, so stop worrying."

I smiled, letting my arm hang around Eddie.

"I know, I know."

My phone vibrated and I picked it up, seeing mike had texted that he was here.

"He's here."
I said, taking my arm off Eddie and getting up, opening the door.

"Hey, Rich. I know how to do the ritual, fully, now."

"Ok," He closed the door behind him, "How?"

"So, all of us have to go to the cave, where he almost died. He has to be in the exact same place as then, it should work."

"So all he has to do is sit where he was when he was bleeding out?"

"Yes."

"Ok, wait. Is there any way to, bring Stan back?"

Mike gave me a disappointed look, "Yes but it has consequences, worse than these."

"Then lets do it, Mike. Lets get everyone back, if we can do it then I don't see the harm in it."

"The harm? The harm is if we bring back Stan, who is already dead, will make him in constant pain. Do you want that?"

"No but I bet there's a way we could work around it-"

"Theres not, I've read everything about this, there's no coming back from that."

"The last time you said that Pennywise turned into a huge fucking spider, I need that book."

"No, you don't. In one week, we all will meet up at the well house and get our memories back. Goodbye."
He left quickly, holding the book tightly.

"I'm gonna steal that book."

"You heard what Mike said, Rich. Stans gonna be fucked over if we do that."

"There's a way to work around it, I know there is."

"Look, you 'saved' me, and now nobody remembers me. You 'save' Stan, he's gonna be even worse."

"But, I can't just let him be dead- I have a way to bring him back, I have to."

"No, you don't. Jesus, Rich."

I stood, staring at the door.

"Come here." Eddie said in a soft voice.

I sat next to him, and he again, put his head on my shoulder.

"Don't save him, Richie. It's too late."

I stayed silent, wrapping my arms around him.

Not if I can help it.

Stan, I'm gonna save you.
