WE ALL SAT DOWN in the barrens, the others chatting away comfortably. it's been a week since the sewers.
we were all happy that we had defeated the clown, we were happy we no longer had to live in fear.
though i found myself still not to satisfied, nor was stanley. we had both confessed this to each other the night of the incident.
we both thought it may just be aftershock, and the happiness was yet to come. though now a week has passed and we still aren't finding ourselves too thrilled.
it's not that we weren't happy, obviously. we were, but when you close your eyes and get a glimpse of his pale face right in front of you it just drags you straight back.
the nightmares are truly surreal, my dad is worried about me and it only seems to be growing by the second.
we've been spending a lot of time together me and stan, constantly wanting to check wether one another was okay.
i should be fine now over, the rest of the losers seems to be. the whole situation is just bittersweet.
my hand tightens around stans slightly making him turn to look at me. we offer each other a smile.
we look back to the others who still hold up the conversation that we had abandoned and then back at eachother.
stan gives me a very pointed look.
we had agreed on the way here that we would tell the losers how we'd been feeling, now i was definitely second guessing myself.
i shot him a look back, shaking my head lightly. he sighs and slumps slightly.
we both wanted to tell them, obviously. though when i explain to him he'll definitely understand.
"you two okay?" bill asks. i immediately nod, not wanting to seem sad. "really? you guys seem really glum lately."
"ha, your glum and dumb!" i laughed, pointing towards stan.
his hand came out, resting against my arms and pretending to push me back though preventing me from falling.
"bitch." i mutter.
we turn back to the others who are all looking at us, still dwelling on bills previous question.
"we're fine." i tell them.
"whatever you say." Richie sighs, turning away and leaning against the tree behind him.
"what's that supposed to mean?" i ask, my eyes narrowing on him.
"-he doesn't mean it in a bad way, lilah." bill reassures immediately.
"then how does he mean it?" Stan queries.
"come on, we never see either of you two anymore! it's nothing personal guys but we just miss you that's all." Richie holds his hands up, defending himself.
"it's just-"
"nothing. it's just nothing." i can feel Stan eyeing me. "sorry guys. we've both just been busy."
"both of you?" ben asks.
"mhm." i humm before looking at stan.
"yeah." he whispers. the group looks like they don't believe us though leave it alone.
**
"bye!" i wave one last time to the three who split onto the other roads.
they say there goodbyes too before walking away, leaving me and stan alone to walk the rest of the way.
"what was that all about?" he finally asks, his hand resting in my waist and whisking me to the inside of the road. I sigh.
"listen i know you want to tell-"
"your right! i do want to tell them Delilah, i don't understand why you don't. we've all been through so much together already, if your worrying about them judging us they won't. if anything i think they'll understand."
"i do want to tell them Stanley! but there all in such a good mood, i don't want to bring them down especially after everything we've all been through."
"i know, and i get that." he steps forwards and wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. "i really do. but, i still think we should tell them."
"i know, so do i. eventually, anyways." i say. "about both things."
he nods and kisses my head, pulling my into an actual hug now.
"okay. i understand, tell me when your ready too and i'll be there okay?"
"okay." i whisper softly, mainly because my heart was hammering harshly against my chest.
"see you tomorrow?" he asks, unwrapping his arms and taking a step back.
"tomorrow." i confirm with an unsure nod, my face now on fire. i watch as a smile graces his lips and the way his eyebrows raise in question.
"i better."
"you will!" i finalise, standing taller and crossing my arms over my chest in some sort of proof.
"okay, okay. whatever you say, doll." he laughs, turning heal and jogging up the couple of steps to his house.
i stand there for a couple more seconds like an idiot, silently cursing myself out as I make sure he gets to his house safely.
"snap out of it." i say sharply, hitting myself in the side a couple times while walking down the street.
