The Quarry is one of the best places to relax here in Derry the cool to the touch water invigorates you jumping from the cliff we like to jump from. The exhilaration making you have the best memories ever.  You smile brightly as you sit up from the rocks by the edge of the cliff. "Y'all ready for me? I bet I can do it better than you guys!" , you exclaim as you look down at the boys in the Quarry.  "Come on Valarie! We know you are too scared to jump! Come on! Come down here! You are missing out on all this!", Ritchie teases as he goes up a bit and flexes his pubescent muscles.  You giggle, "As if Ritchie! You are such a dork let me show you some real muscles!" you back up a bit and jump from the ledge. Jumping into the water making a splash.
Beverly was on Bills shoulders water wrestling with Stanley and Ben. You come up for air and smile poking Eddie and Mike. "Awwwww yeah! How did I do? Better then Ritchie huh?" They laugh and nod in agreement Ritchie scoffs and smirks, "They are just being nice!"
Beverly looks up at the sky the now orange yellow hues could only mean one thing... it was getting late, "Hey guys it's getting late we better get going soon." Beverly said as she starts swimming to the rocks. Eddie, Mike and Bill follow her. Ritchie whines and splashes Ben as he hurriedly swim to the shallow water. As you get out of the water you have a seat on the rocks and start drying off with your towel. "Bill is it okay for me to stay at your house?" You lean down while sitting on the rock, drying your hair with the towel. Bill nods smiling, "Y-yeah! Mom and dad are excited t-t-to have you over the house."

"Holy shit Valarie! What happened to your hip?!", Ritchie pointed at the medium sized bruise. You look at him and then look at your hip. Remembering your assault from last night. "Oh that. I'm clumsy I guess. I was moving my things up the steps to my room and I bumped into the bannister." You reply as you rub the back of your head trying to laugh it off. Beverly looks at it and worriedly looks at you. After everybody is dressed you all ride your bikes over towards Bills house. Mike, Ben, and Ritchie split away taking Beverly home. You hear the engine of the Trans-Am, shivers go down your spine as you hear it getting closer, it cuts your path off as you guys ride your bikes. You look up as you hold on to Bill closer. A pissed off Henry pops up leaning out the window, "Valarie! What the hell are you doing with those losers?! Go home and wait for me darling, I'll give you my piece of meat!" You look away upset trying to hide your fear.

He climbs out of the car, so does Victor while Patrick just looks out of the car while he flips his hair out of his face as he smokes, staring at you from a far.

"L-leave her alone B-Bowers!", Bill states as he protectively stands in front of you, Henry gets closer to you and touches your face then grabbing you and making you get off the bike. "Or do you want to come to the party with us? It's better than hanging out with these losers..." You flinch and look away trying to get free from his grip.

"Henry lets go man, remember we gotta stop and get the liquor?", Victor pats him on the back. "She already said she would stay at the house, come on man." Henry looks at you and Bill  he gets angry and punches him making Bill, causing Bill to stumble back and have a bruise on his jaw. Stanley and Eddie look at Henry pull out his knife. Victor rolls his eyes, "Henry."

"Shut up! I have already told them to stay away from her!" He shoves Victor and stabs the bike tires of Bill & quickly makes his way to Stanley's and Eddie's. "Good luck making it home past curfew...", he says as he throws his cigarette on the ground, laughing as he heads back to car. Victor clearly upset, "Tch... Valarie go home now!" Victor walks back to the car. Henry looks back and motions you to come, "No, Valarie Let's get you home. You can sit on my lap."

You frown, Bowers disgusted you how could he be such an asshole? "I am staying with a friend. I do not need to be baby sat like a child." You go to Bill and cup his face your touch is soft and tender to his skin. He looks at you, "I am ok Val..." He says as he gets up you hug him. Henry's blood boils furious he goes over to you dragging you to the TransAM. "H-Hey let g-g-ggo of her!", Bill tries to Punch Bowers, you get thrown to the ground. Henry grabs Bill by the shirt and starts to punch him. Bill punches back angrily yelling, "SS-she doesn't want to g-go with you guys! J-J-JUST leave her be!"
