• THE CURSE OF DERRY • PENNYWISE X READER

Chapter 15

The group of three starring back at me confused, as I stood in the kitchen, my cheeks glowing with embarrassment.

"Are you okay Y/N?" Lucy Asked.

"Yes of course!" I yelled.

"You sure?" She replied a little concerned.

"A cat jumped on the windowsill and I kind of crapped my pants..." I said with a fake smile.

They all looked over at the windowsill and then looked at me, I was just smiling back at them. They walked off into the lounge ignoring the fact that I sounded like I was going mental. The sound of the radio cranked, I quickly spun back around to see Pennywise still standing at the window. I pointed toward the back door, gesturing for him to meet me there as I quietly snuck out. The back door was conveniently connected to the kitchen, making it easy to get out and speak to him.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"I couldn't help but stay away, I wanted to tell you how sorry I was for leaving you alone that night Y/N, and I am truly sorry..." He pleaded.

I just jumped up onto him wrapping my arms around his chest, his big fluffy blouse all up in my face. He smelt different to what I expected, his musk was nothing other then comforting.

"Come back over tonight, just wait till I come get you" I said excitedly.

"Okay... I can't wait" He said smiling.

His grip loosened as he turned around walking back down the street, looking back every couple of steps.

*A FEW HOURS LATER*

Lucy's friends had walked out the door, practically throwing themselves out drunk. I watched as they headed to the cab they'd called, making sure they were safe. As they drove off, I locked the front door and took the dirty plates to the kitchen, encouraging my drunk aunt to go to sleep instead of insisting on helping me clean up.

I soon after got her into bed where she immediately crashed. Gently tapping her cheek to confirm that she was definitely dead to the world.

I ran up the stairs, practically jumping into the shower, as I started to sing and dance. I covered my mouth realising that if I was too loud I may wake my Aunt, but the thought of inviting my killer clown, well friend (ha who was I kidding!), into my house in the middle of the night, was scary but funny. What a sin, but it felt good.

I climbed out the shower and started to blow dry my hair, finishing it up, I ran to the window. Looking out the window of my room, I could already see him out there waiting for me. A burst of excitement flew through me as I jumped across the room getting changed into some nice but casual clothes. I made my bed and threw my dirty clothes into the bathroom as I tried to tidy the floor. Running out the door and down the stairs, slowly tip-toeing past my aunts bedroom.

I snuck to the front door, peeking my head past the door, his made up face made me jump.

"Are you Okay?" He asked.

"Yeah you just made me jump, your eyes almost glow in the dark, did you know that?" I giggled.

"Actually...no. I had no idea" He laughed back.

We both snuck into the house, quietly locking the door after him. I looked up to him, placing my forefinger over my lips trying to keep him quite as we snuck through the front hall and up the stairs to my room. We both giggled after we quietly shut the door, just before he was about to speak, I once again jumped onto my tiptoes and hugged the friendly giant.

"I love you..." He whispered gently into my ear.

He slowly wrapped his arms around my back, burying his face into my shoulder. I held him even tighter then before, and started to sob into his chest.
