#13 - Gordie Lachance (pt. 2)

For one second, it seems like your heart just stopped.

Immediately, you pull Vern up and scream for him to run for his life, as you feel hot tears of total and utter fear roll down your cheeks as you run behind Vern.

Looking back at Gordie, you notice that he too, seems to be losing hope.

Running as fast as you can, you notice Teddy and Chris yell at you to do anything to survive. Vern makes it across and catches his breath.

Gordie must have taken that into plan.

Before you could scream again, he grabs your arm and jumps.

Your heart sinks down and you close your eyes as you fall into the river with Gordie.

Instinctively, he swims to the surface, and you follow him, doggy paddling ((idek)) to the three cheering boys that were screaming their heads off as the train passed by, drowning out their shouts.

You and Gordie look at each other, soaked and both grinning like idiots.

"Thanks, Gordie."

He smiles. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
