say you'll remember me

and my flight was awful, thanks for asking

Richie has finally landed to Maine after the 7 hour and 37 minute flight, god he hates flights so much his ass always gets numb after an hour, it was long boring he had no one to talk too he was honestly going to start talking to himself so he doesn't go insane then he realised that the other people in first class will think that he's mental for talking to himself.

Anyway he's in the cab to the Derry townhouse, when he's in the car he looks out of the window and see's the roads were he road his bike without fear of being hit by cars, wait he just remembered that he hasn't thought about that his entire adult life, fuck this town is so fucked up isn't it?

He honestly can't believe that in an hour or so all of his childhood friends will be in the same place together, hopefully it won't be too awkward and hopefully they all don't hate him.

He then starts bouncing his legs like he always does when he's nervous, he really wants them to like the person he's grown up to be.

"Yo dude, I said it was your fucking stop like 50 times hurry up and get out I have another customer waiting" the driver said in a very angry and pissed off attitude.

"Right okay,sorry I guess" Richie said while tipping the guy $5 because they guy was very rude to him compared to the sweetheart back in Beverly Hills, he wonders if everyone in Derry is a rude little bitch.

So Richie gets out of the cab and starts walking to the townhouse, fuck he wonders if anyone can see how nervous he is, he hopes not everyone is here yet so it isn't that weird being the last one there.

When he walks in he sees a guy just awkwardly standing in the middle of the foyer.

"Richie, hey man, glad you could make it" Mike said with a genuine smile on his face while he went over to hug Richie.

"Yeah glad to be here, I think, probably not to be honest" he said and hugged Mike back.

"Yeah we'll talk more about why you are here when the others get here, which should be soon it's surprising that you are the second one here" Mike said while laughing.

"Wait who's already here?"

"Eddie kaspbrak, of course he is he always liked being early"

"Ummm, yeah totally" Richie says because hearing the name Eddie kaspbrak is bringing back memories of a hammock, a bridge? What's so special about a hammock and a bridge?, oh well he's bound to remember soon enough.

"Anyway I should probably go up and see my room and go for a shower" Richie says while going to collect his room key.

So he grabs his shit and starts going to his room.

"Woah hey, slow down buddy" Richie says after who must be Eddie kaspbrak accidentally walked into him.

"Yeah sorry, just got done with my shower and realised that there's mold in the bathroom so I'm asking whoever the fuck works here to switch my room" Eddie said in an obviously pissed off mood.

"Yeah ummm, no one is here the now if I'm being honest I haven't seen anyone except form you, Mike and my cab driver it's like, this is a ghost town, but fair enough I haven't been anywhere except from here and the car but you would of thought there would be people walking around" Richie said.

"Fuck well after we go out for dinner then I'll see if anyone's back, they really shouldn't let customers stay here on their own like something bad could happen" Eddie says still in the same pissed off mood.

"Yeah I get you man, anyway I'm going to go for a shower see you soon" Richie says after walking into his room, fuck was he always this good looking, I guess I'll find out because my memories are starting to come back again.

And fuck Eddie was right there was a tiny bit of mold in the shower but it was so small he was definitely overreacting, I wonder if he did that a lot when we were kids?.

So then Richie took a shower and actually put in an effort to his appearance for dinner.
