Richie was standing right in front of me,
"Richie?" I gasped in shock,
He then started to walk upstairs.
"Richie please talk to me" I said as I followed him upstairs,
"I have nothing to say to you Mollie" he said bluntly, he then slammed his door shut before I could follow him in.
"Richie, please speak to me" I said to him on the other side of the door, I miss speaking to my brother my life just feels empty without him, he's like the Tom to my Jerry, the Shaggy to my Scooby.
"I'm so sorry for not siding with you, I know you and Bill aren't on good terms but I still miss spending time with you." I said hoping he is listening to me,
"You are my brother and best friend compiled into one, it sucks that everyday for the past week you haven't bothered to talk to me once, it genuinely hurts. I just want my brother back" I began tearing up, then a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Please Rich" I quietly said, trying to my mask my tears.
Then the door unlocked, it creaked open and Richie peered from the other side,
He sighed and motioned me to come into his room, i sat down on his bed as I waited for his response,
"I got to admit Mollie it did really hurt me the fact you sided with Bill over me." He sighed
"Richie I didn't side with anyone I just felt like the way you worded what you said to Bill was a bit harsh" I explained
"I know but I just don't want to see you getting hurt, or me in that matter. But, what hurt me most was the fact I felt like you cared about Bill more than me so I didn't want to talk to you as I felt betrayed, you are my sister Mollie" Richie sat down next to me with a upset expression on his face.
"Rich I am so sorry, of course I care about you. Your my brother and I don't know what I would do without you. Who cheered me up when mom and dad fought downstairs since we was younger? You. Who saved me from that fucking clown? You. Who was there for me at my lowest points? You. Richie your the best brother I could ever ask for" I started to tear up again.
"Mollie, I know your sorry, I miss us hanging out too, I kept debating with myself whether to try and sort things out with you but I was to stubborn to go through with it, Mollie you are the best sister in the world and I'm sorry for ignoring you" Richie said with sorrow and guilt in his eyes, as he gets sad when he sees me cry,
"It's ok, are we ok again?" I asked,
"Of course we are" he smiled as he pulled me in for a hug, at this point we were both crying. But I'm just glad that I had my brother and best friend back.

It was now Friday but before I went to Bills house me, Richie and my mom had to get our outfits for Stanley's bar Mitzvah which was tomorrow,
"Okay Rich what suit do you want?" My mother asked,
"Hmm, the blue looks awesome, what do you think Mollie?" He asked with a cheesy grin on his face.
"Yeah it looks cool" I said putting my thumbs up.
"Okay that's you sorted Richie, what dress would you like Mollie?" My mother asked me,
I looked at the dresses, but my eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful green dress,

"Mom, Richie what do you think?" I asked them,
"Mollie it's perfect" my mother said,
"Yeah Sis you should definitely get that one" he smiled.
"Okay I'm going to pay for them now" my mother brought the outfits to the cashier and bought them.

It was now time to go over to Bill's house, I wore a casual yellow dress with sneakers. I have been over to Bill's house countless
times before so I'm not too nervous, I knocked on the door, and Bill's mother answered,
"Mollie, hi it's so nice to see you again" Bills mom smiled warmly, but I could tell she was still hurting as Bill's family are still struggling from the loss of Georgie.
"Hi Mrs Denbrough, it's great to see you again too" I smiled back,
"Bill, Mollie's here" Bills mother called to him, he rushed to the door and gave me a sweet smile,
"H-Hi Mollie"
"Hey Bill"
"Come o-on in" he ushered me to his room,
"Leave your bedroom door open Bill!" His mother shouted up to him, leaving Bill a little embarrassed,
"I will d-do mom!" he called shouted back to her.
"S-Sorry about that" he said nervously,
"It's ok don't worry" I smiled trying to make him feel more comfortable.
"So h-how have you been?" He asked
"I have been feeling great recently, me and Richie are ok again" I smiled cheerily.
"T-That's great" he smiled back,
"So how have you been?" I asked
"I have just been pretty much d-drawing and riding my bike and the only p-p-people I speak to are my parents, Bev and you" he replied.
"I wish the losers get back together I hate it that everyone has separated" I frowned.
"I k-know, it feels weird" he said
"Oh by the w-way I have drawn you s-something" Bill continued.
"Oh really what is it?" I said in curiosity, with a little smile on my face, Bill walked over to his desk and picked up a sheet of paper and gave it me, it was portrait of me, it was the most beautiful drawing I had ever seen,
"Bill this is beautiful, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me" I blushed, I stood up and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek,
"Thank you so much Billy"
"N-No problem" he smiled nervously.
