SECRET ADMIRER || E.Kaspbrak

"Ditto."

We finally made it into town

"I think it's great that we're helping the new kid but
we also need to think about our own safety." He
rambled on "I mean, he's bleeding all over and you
guys know there's an AIDS epidemic happening right
now as we speak I mean my mom's friend in New
York City got it just by touching a dirty pole in the
subway and she got AIDS blood into her system
through a hangnail, a hangnail!" He is still going.
"And they can amputate legs and arms. But how do
you amputate waist? You know that there are alleys
full of AIDS infected needles, right? You. Know that."

We parked our bikes in an alleyway as Bill placed the
new kid on a crate then I grabbed Eddie's collar
which caused them all to look at us.

"Shut the fuck up about that, your mother was
fucking lying to you that's not how aids work" I
shoved him then I rejoined the group "Richie, Calista, Stay here" Bill instructed as I saluted him which caused him to smile "sure thing captain"

"Glad I got to meet you before you died" Richie
spoke so I slapped him upside the head

"He is not gonna die fucking idiot," I said on the dirt
so I could get a better look at him "I'm C-"

"Calista Grossman, You're in my English class" he smiled "I'm Ben Hanscom"

"Nice to meet you Ben" I spoke softly, I was trying to
get his mind off the wounds which seemed to be
working but he took things off my mind as well.

"Watch it, dude, she's my best friend. I'll fight for
her" Richie spoke raising his fist

"Is he gonna-"

"no, he's a fucking idiot but he is my best friend. but
you can take Eddies spot" I grumbled as Eddie
entered my mind

"Oh shit, is it about what happens in the sewer,"
Richie asked as he rested his hand on my knee and
I nodded

"It's just, how could he say that to Bill?" I ranted but
then they came into my vision so I stopped talking

I walked away from the group know I was going to
throw up if I saw his wounds, I had a weak stomach
which sucked especially when dealing with these
situations but something caught my eye, it looked
like a grave.

I walked further down the alleyway until I was
standing in front of it but something was covering
the name so I wiped it off "Richie Tozier, Loved Son
and Friend, 1976-1989, Hated Calista Grossman" that
made me drop to the ground as I looked at his name.
I kept seeing my biggest fears. First, it was buried
alive, Second was losing someone I love and being
alone they were equally as scary.

I closed my eyes "It isn't real" I whispered again
isn't real" I opened my eyes and I was standing off to
the side where I originally was. I never moved.

I walked over and instantly felt my food coming up
but I settled it but it made me freeze when I see
Eddie dealing with the wounds but I guess he was
their germaphobe

"Just suck the wound." Richie stated, "I need to
focus right now." Eddie grumbled

"You need to focus?"

"Yeah, can you go get me something?"

"Jesus" I whispered under my breathe as I saw an H
in Ben's stomach which caused my lunch to come up
my throat but I didn't let it come out

"Oh, what do you need?" Richie rolled his eyes.

"Go get my bifocals, they're in my second fanny
pack." I snickered at the thought of Eddie carrying
two fanny packs

Stanley just watched in confusion "Why do you have
two fanny pack?"

"I need to focus right now, it's a long story."
