       I climbed up the ladder to the treehouse and did the secret knock. After a minute with no response, I gently opened the trap door to see I was the first to arrive. I climbed in and put my bag down. The boys and I were supposed to be meeting for a sleepover, my first since meeting them, for one of the first nights of summer.

       While I waited, I took off my jacket. It was especially hot today so I couldn't wear my usual long sleeved shirt which I usually wore to hide my scars on my arms. I had had a hard time before meeting the boys but thankfully, since meeting them, there haven't been any new ones. 

       It didn't take long for the boy to show up. I heard them arguing about something as they arrived and couldn't help but smile. They were usually arguing about something or other. As the trap door opened, the boys came spilling in with their sleeping bags.

       "Hey, guys." I said, as I picked up a magazine.

       "Hey, Y/N. How did we know you'd be the first one here?" Teddy said with his signature laugh.

       "I can't help it if I'm punctual!" I said, thumbing through the magazine.

       As they spread out their sleeping bags, Teddy handed me the spare one he brought. As I reached out to take it, I realized that my scars were on full display. I tried to take the sleeping bag quickly but Teddy caught my arm before I could pull it away.

       "Y/N..." Teddy trailed off, looking at my arm sorrowfully.

       "It's okay, Teddy." I tried to reassure him but he just turned to the others.

       "Have you guys seen these?" Teddy asked, holding out my arm.

       The looks on the other threes faces showed that they were just as surprised as Teddy was.

       "Y/N, why do you have so many scars on your arms?" Vern asked, puzzled. 

       Chris elbowed him in the stomach while Gordie just looked sadly at your arms.

       "Well, Vern, before I met you guys, I had a hard time in life. Sometimes I just couldn't deal with it, hence the scars." I explained.

       "Are any of these new, Y/N?" Chris asked.

       I shook my head. "Nope. Not since I met you knuckleheads." That brought a smile to each of their faces. I stood up and held my arms open wide. "C'mon. Group hug. I know you want to."

       The four boys were quick to come to me to join the hug. It was a while before we broke the hug but I was just fine with that.

(A/N: Thanks again to Maddalena925 for the request! I hope you liked it! Requests are open for the rest of February so send yours in while you can! That's all for now! Until next time! Thanks!!)
