Lyles POV.
The bubbles surrounded me as I lay in my bath. The light was shining in the window above the bath as I felt it gave a calming feeling. I let the hot water do its magic in calming me down as I lay still, head resting on the edge of the bath, my eyes shut. I lay like this for ten minutes as I thought about everything in life before finally getting to work. I washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner as I turned the tap on. The water flowed into the bath as my hands flowed over my legs with shaving cream before gliding over them with a razor. I was on the last section on my leg when I heard a bang, causing my hand to slip as the razor nicked my leg. I looked at the blood as it flowed down my thigh. I just sighed before splashing the water over the cut to wash away the crimson blood, normally it would sting but at this moment I was too trapped in my own thoughts to care.
I sat on the chair in my room as I dried my hair. I was only wearing my red underwear and a large white t-shirt after being in the bath. I always felt good when I was de-fluffed. I would put on my clothes for the day after I finished drying my long locks and had straightened the slight wave out of it. I looked in the mirror as I took a deep breath, today I was going to see Pennywise again. I had to talk to him about everything that was going on. I had to make him stop haunting my friends. "Can I come in?" Odette asked through the door as I yelled "Yep!".
The door opened as she walked in with her keys in her hands. "I need to go but I was just wondering if you want me to bring home Chinese tonight?" she asked as I smiled and nodded "That'd be great" she was getting ready to leave as I shouted back in the room urgently. "Come here" I ordered as she walked over slowly. "What's wrong?" she asked as I shook my head before putting my legs on the table as I pointed at them. "FEEL HOW SMOOTH THEY ARE!" I yelled as Odette began to laugh before running her hand over my leg and saying "Smooooothhhh". After that she left for work and I was left to do whatever I wanted.
I pulled on a white pair of skinny jeans, a tight long sleeved black crop top, and my black slip on vans. I slipped my phone in my pocket before leaving the house, putting my keys in the other back pocket of my jeans. I walked along the lane in the forest slowly as I looked at the birds flying tree to tree, the sun streaming in the gaps as I felt like it was such a blissful day. I reached the end of the long path as I walked out onto the roads, there were no cars around so I knew this was my moment to get into the house without anyone following me or reporting me for going into an "abandoned" and "dangerous" building.
I walked into the house before shutting the door, a rat running past my feet. I looked around at all of the cobwebs and broken furniture before walking into what was the lounge. "Hello?" I called out as I heard footsteps from upstairs. I walked back out into the hall as I looked around in a circle, both high and low but no one was there. However, I did notice something else. I walked over to the window at the door as I noticed the piece of paper was no longer there. Meaning either Pennywise has it or a rat had eaten it. I heard another creek as I instantly looked at the stairs, Pennywise was at the top of them looking down at me. "You don't know when to quit, do you?" he smirked as I rolled me eyes before leaning my back on the wall. "Neither do you by the looks of things" I snapped as he smiled before walking down the stairs, only seeming to take one step before he was in front of me.
"What was the newest boat about?" I questioned as his golden eyes buried into my soul. "It's what I do" he informed me as if I didn't already know that fact. "But nothing scares me" I muttered as he took another deep inhale, to check if I was scared in his presence, after he realised I was telling the truth and not scared of him he didn't look amused at all. He began to walk away, going into the lounge where I was before as I followed him. He walked to the far end of the room as I stood next to the boarded up window.
"It scares your friends though, that's why you didn't show them anything" he said as he looked out of the window and even though I couldn't see his face I could tell he was grinning evilly, thinking he was winning. "Please stop scaring my friends. They don't need or deserve this" I said semi politely but also harshly as he dropped his head. He stayed silent as I looked around at the dark room. There were rats, cobwebs, spiders, layers of dust, ripped up furniture, broken glass, and snapped wood. It was all a complete mess. But it's not like he cares.
