POSSIBLE SPOILERS/ MY IDEAS AND HOW I WANTED THE MOVIE TI END

Ain't it fun, ain't it fun? Livin now you're one of us!

(Y/n's POV)

I stayed in the shadows for a bit longer until I heard distant chanting "I see dead people, I see ghosts. I see the things that hate you the most" it scared the shit outta me.

I heard little footsteps coming along with the sound, they were rapid. I started running from them letting my foot throb, I stopped a few minutes after, out of breath. I walked back into the shadows and waited, something pulled on my shirt.

I looked down to see a little boy in a yellow raincoat missing an arm "Please Help me" he said quietly "Oh my God!" I exclaimed quietly.

Since I knew I didn't have anything to cover the deep pit where his arm should've been, in a panic, I took off my shirt and put it around his torso making sure to tie it over his shoulder.

I took his raincoat and threw it over a stroller. "Stay here and I'll let the clown get me. My name is Y/n, and if the others come to find me tell Richie I'm sorry, and Bill, make sure you give him and Bev my blessing." I say holding back tears.

"Bill Denbrough?" The little kid asks "Yeah, tell him I'm sorry about Georgie" I say letting a hot tear roll down my dirty cheek. "I'm Georgie!" He says hugging my waist with his one arm happily.

"That's fantastic, but you need to stay in the shadows for as long as it takes, don't make a sound or move from this spot. The others will be here shortly, I don't know you well, Georgie, but I love you so much".

I say pushing him softly into the dark corner "Good luck" I say walking off. "Hey, Clown!" I scream "I'll see you later! I'm going home!" I say sloshing my feet around in the gross sewage water and kicking things.

Suddenly the gate opens again and the weird cheerful tune blares loudly, it opens fully to reveal an unhappy clown. He begins to dance the odd dance from before.

His frown is large and he keeps grunting, I look to my left and see an open grate. I run to it only to have him run at me, "Ugh! I'm never going down at the hands of the likes of you, cause I'm so much better" I scream as his large gloved hands wrap around my throat "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Don't be bad girl now!" He screams squeezing harder.

I look into his cold dead eyes, then his mouth opens to reveal large rows of jagged teeth. I scream loudly until something about his mouth captures me.

I let the power engulf me as everything blacks out.

(Richie's POV)

All of go to Bill's house, "Why is your house so important to us right now?" I ask "I-I ha-Have a muh-map of the sew-sewer syst-sytems in Duh-Derry" he says brushing me off.

"My girlfriend's life is in trouble and you're trying to show us the sewer?!" I yell dropping my bike "Rich, a-all o-of th-the puh-ipes con-connect in o-one spot an-and I k-know it. W-when Georgie we-went muh-missing I sta-started do-doing resea-research and I nuh-noticed they all co-connect at thu-that we-weird house on Ne-Neibolt st-street".

"Good for you! I'll look for her on my own since you want to do fucking research instead!" I picked my bike back up and immediately I heard another bike drop, I turn to Bill biting his bottom lip.

"Wh-what did y-you just s-say?" He asks, his voice cracking badly "What the fuck did you just say?!" He asks walking towards me, not stuttering. I drop my bike "To summarize, I called you a fucking pussy. Because that's what you are!" He stood right in front of me.
