A FEW DAYS LATER THE GROUP STARTED TO AVOID EACHOTHER EXCEPT FOR RICHIE AND AURORA...

"i cant believe he hit you" richie said to aurora as she brushed her hair "its fine rich its my fault for getting in between you guys but i totally would have saved you anyway.. on another occasion" aurora put her hair into French braids then turned to richie again "im glad i still have you in my life" she smiled at richie hearing his statement. "hey rory... do you maybe wanna go to the diner? with me?" she smiled and nodded "where were we going originally?". richie replied "i think we were gonna go throw bunnies at eddies window again cause it amused you so much last week". aurora smiled "yay bunnies!" she got up out of the chair she was sitting in then ran to richie and hugged him "thanks for letting me stay here... i miss bev though... im not on sides but id like to see her at some point i dont like leaving her alone with my dad... hes a lunatic" richie nodded "maybe we can see her after the bunny chucking" aurora smiled dorkily and repeated "yay bunnies!"  richie leaned to her and kissed her. aurora blushed and kissed back. after a smile auroras face went straight "THE BAR MITZVAH!!" she shouted  "we forgot about stans bar mitzvah but we can throw bunnies later!"  aurora tore off her shirt and replaced it with a silk dress then grabbed her yellow shoes and ran out the door sliding her shoes. richie followed tying his tie and adding his yamakah to his head. aurora grabbed her board and started to skate towards the synagogue 

in the marsh apartment beverly was playing auroras favorite song on the keyboard "cant help falling in love" by Elvis Presley.  at the denbrough house bill sat at the dinner table reminiscing about the time he spent with the losers. at the synagogue stan was making a speech with aurora and richie watching in the audience. mike was at his farm shooting sheep like his grandfather wanted. aurora and richie stopped by eddies house and started to chuck fake bunnies at his window. beverly laid in her tub and started to notice something in her bathroom. she looked at little spot of blood on the tile and got a bit frightened reminding her of her fear of blood. 

at the bar mitzvah stan started his speech

"um reflecting on the meaning of what i just read the word comes up alot which means.. um to change to transform which makes sense i guess because today im supposed to become a man. its funny though everyone i thin thats the memories they're prouder of than others right? and maybe thats why change is so scary... because the things we wish we could leave behind... one life the whispers we wish we could silence... the nightmares we most wanna wake up from the memories we wish we could change secrets we feel like we have to keep are the hardest to walk away from. the good stuff the pictures in our mind that fade away the fastest those pieces of you it feels the easiest to loose maybe i dont wanna forget maybe if thats what today is all about forget it right i uh uh today im supposed to become man but i dont feel any different i know im a loser and no matter what i always fucking will be" aurora silently chuckled to herself and watched stanley exit the room. richie stood up and clapped. stans mother Andrea grabbed his arm and pulled him down. aurora leaned onto richie and whispered "i taught him some of that" they snickered together and hopped out of the pews to go after their best friend. 

aurora and richie ended up talking to stan and cheering him up earning them a hug. 

AUGUST 

henry and his goons were hanging out in his backyard shooting empty bottle "yeah bonus!"  henry pointed at a cat "get our next target out there" belch looked at him reluctantly and went to get the cat.  the cat meowed in fear "just hold him!" belch held the cat and got scared. henrys dad came out of the house and approached them "what the hells goin on here"  henrys father waked up to henry and stared at him in the eyes "just cleaning your gun, like you asked."  henrys dad questioned "youre cleaning my gun huh ?"  henrys father started to get closer to him. "dad.." "HEY!!!" henrys father screamed and started to shoot the ground causing henry to curl up and shake. "look at him now boys.. nothin like a little fear to make a paper man crumble" henrys father walked away and into the house.
