▌ 𝐋𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 up the hill to go home. She already knew it was past the time she was supposed to be home.

"I hope my mom doesn't notice." She whispered to herself. She hoped she wouldn't notice, but she knew her mom would.

When she was at the spot where Bowers started dragging her, she saw her backpack that was left behind.

She picked it up and put a strap over her shoulder. When she finally arrived home, she walked up the steps that led to her front door.

She grabbed her house key from her backpack and unlocked the door. She quietly opened the door, hoping her mom wouldn't hear.

When she closed the door, her mom went to stand in front of her. 'Shit', Lydia thought to herself.

"Lydia, why are you late?" Her mom asked, not caring about the dirt on Lydia's clothes.

"Mom, don't be mad." Lydia pleaded. "Mad? I'm angry! You disobeyed me!" Her mom exclaimed.

Her mom then slapped her across the face. "Go to your room!" Her mother shouted.

Lydia nodded as she held her cheek. She walked up the stairs to her room. She closed her door and sat on her bed.

She buried her face into her hands as she sobbed. "Why is she like this?" She whispered to herself.

When she lifted her head, her eyes caught on a certain object. She got up off of her bed and grabbed it.

It was the bracelet that her dad gave her before he moved out because of the divorce.

She pulled the bracelet closer to her. Then, she looked down and closed her eyes as tears were still falling down her cheek.

She just wanted to see her dad again. She didn't want to be with her mom. She wanted to be with her dad.

Lydia woke up the next day. She was relieved that it was the last day of school. No more bullies, hopefully.

She got out of bed and went over to her closet. She put on her clothes.

She went downstairs to see that her mom was gone. Then, she remembered that her mom would be out of town for a little while.

This means that Lydia would be home alone for at least a week or two.

She hated the thought of being alone. But she was alone for most of her life. Her mom never really cared about her or even made time to spend with her.

She hadn't seen her dad since she was eight years old. And most of all, she had no friends.

Her dad was the only one who had actually cared about her, but that was until the divorce and her mom got full custody.

Then, that was when her dad moved hours away from Derry. She never saw her dad after that.

Lydia grabbed her backpack and left for school.

Lydia walked to school. On her way, she passed Beverly Marsh's apartment. Henry Bowers made a rumor about her. Lydia didn't think it was true, but almost the whole school did.

She saw that Beverly's dad was outside. Lydia always thought that there was something off about him.

Lydia continued walking.
