Safe for Now (Beverly Marsh x Reader)

Out We Go

Y/N's POV
I ended up waking up and then sat up. I looked over and picked up the locket, "I will find you."

I went outside and got my bike, then biked near what's called 'the kissing bridge'. I knew he was pulled down into a storm drain which would obviously be connected to the sewers. I also know of a few places that were definitely connected to said sewers. So I immediately biked to a clearing and put my bike down, using the kickstand, and went down to what's called the barrens. I somewhat scrambled down to the water, quietly.

I then heard a scream and looked over towards the noise, "oh it's them again.."

"Guys," I hear further down and walk closer to them and see what was going on. I hid behind a tree and saw a shoe in his hand.

"Shit, don't tell me that's..." the curly hair asked.

"Georgie wore galoshes," the one holding the shoe told him.

"G-Georgie," I softly spoke and pulled the locket out again with a chill down my spine.

"Hey! Who are you," one of them ended up asking. I looked up and stared at him.

"Um. No one important," I say, trying to avoid conflict.

The one with curly hair looked and asked, "hey what's in your hand?"

"Just a locket I found.."

The group seemed to stare and a splash ended up interrupting what was happening.

"Holy shit! What happened to you!"

I ran over to the guy and put the locket in my pocket, "are you okay? You look like you're bleeding."

"W-We should help him," one of the guys stuttered behind me and ran up to us. The rest of that group came up to us moments after.

We all ended up biking to the local drug store while the one named Eddie kept going on about the AIDS epidemic.

"Richie, wait here," Bill tells him then turns to the rest of us, "come on."

Everyone followed quickly after and went inside. When we went inside, I separated from the guys to look at a different section. They seemed to know what they were doing so I chose not to bother. I ended up crashing into someone while walking and it ended up being Beverly Marsh.

"Oh, sorry," I said, rubbing my arm.

"You're fine," she smiled. She then looked over and saw someone, "Greta," she said as she pushed me back the way I came and to the aisle the boys were in.

The boys stared and ended up asking if we were okay, Beverly brushed off the question saying we were fine then asked them the same question.

"None of your business," Stan responded quickly.

"There's a kid outside. Looked like someone killed him," Eddie blurted out after Stan.

"W-we need some s-s-sup-sup-supplies, but we d-don have enough m-money" Bill stuttered.

Beverly ended up saying that she'd take care of it, and she did. She went up to him and knocked some stuff over and we ran out of the drug store.

"Just suck the wound," I heard Richie say as Bill and I waited for Beverly together.

She walked up towards us and Bill held up his hand with money in it and stuttered, "t-thanks."

"Even-Steven," she smiled and held up a pack of cigarettes.

"You smoke," I ask, never noticing.

"Yeah-."

"Oh god, he's bleeding! Oh my god!"

Beverly and Bill slightly walked over towards the group and I followed after.

"Ben from soc," I heard he softly say as she walked closer towards the group.

"You have to suck the wound before you apply the bandaids," Richie tells Eddie, "this is 101!"

"You don't know what you're talking about," Eddie replied annoyed.

"Are you okay? That looks like it hurts," she asked Ben who was still being helped by Eddie.

"Oh no, I'm good. I just fell..."

"Yeah, right into Henry Bowers," Richie said rolling his eyes.

"Can you just be quiet for once Richie," I asked sarcastically.

"Shut it, R-R-Richie," Bill also stuttered out.

"Why? It's the truth," Richie scoffed.

"You sure they got the right stuff to fix you up," Beverly asked Ben.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of him. He's in safe hands. As long as Richie doesn't distract Eddie," I say and shoot him a glare.

"Uh thanks again," Bill says as he turns to her.

"Sure, maybe I'll see you around," she smiles.

"Y-Yeah, we w-were thinking of going t-t-to the q-quarry tomorrow... if you w-wanna c-c-come," Bill stuttered while smiling.

"Good to know. Thanks," she said then walked away.

I walked closer to Eddie and Ben to see how the wound and bandages looked like then heard Stan speak up, "nice going bringing up Bowers in front of her."

"Yeah dude, you heard what she did," Eddie told him.

"What'd she do," Ben asked while looking at them confused.

"More like who'd she do," Richie told him, "from what I hear, the list is longer than my wang."

"That's not saying much," both Stan and I said at the same time then laughed.

"T-T-They're just r-rumors," Bill stated.

"Anyway, Bill had her back in third grade."

"W-what," I asked super confused.

"They kissed in the school play. The reviews said you can't fake that sort of passion! Now pip-pip and tally-ho, my good fellows! I do believe this chap requires our utmost attention! Get in there Dr. K. Come on, fix him up!"

"Why don't you shut the fuck up, Einstein, because I know what I'm doing and I don't want you doing the British guy with me right now."

"Suck the wound, get in there!"

"Richie you need to shut up and let Eddie focus so the bandages don't mess up the cut even more than it already is," I screamed at him while everyone stared at me. Then I realized what I did and ran away back home.
