Richie eyed his door, where outside where his parents, screaming at each other, obvious that they're in a fight.
Richie averted his gaze to the window of his room. He sighed, brushing his hands through the load of curls on his head. He packed his things up into a small backpack and opened the window.
He quickly checked back at the clock that was above the door of his room.
"11:32" He spoke the numbers out loud.
He stepped out the window and onto the roof of his two storey house. He carefully closed the window and jumped off the roof, landing onto the grass. As he landed, he bent his knees and cursed himself, thinking he was too loud, but the voices of his parents where too loud for them to even hear Richie sneaking out.
Richie went to the house of the girl who occupied his thoughts all night.
Josephine Denbrough.
It wasn't as if Richie and Josephine were dating, even if the two oblivious teenagers liked each other for a while and even if they've kissed a few time. But the only thing stopping them was Josephine's brother, Bill. Bill and Josephine weren't alike but trait wise but they looked a like a lot.
Richie sprinted to the Denbrough residence, proceeding to walk when he came to the street. He didn't want to get caught and sent back to his home.
Richie camouflaged himself into the darkness and picked up a short stick. He threw the stick to hit Josephine's window with it, not hard enough to break her window though.
Josephine was a light sleeper, and the sudden sound almost made her shit herself. She freaked out, hiding herself under her dull dark brown covers, quivering in fear and forcing herself to try and sleep. Richie mumbled a small 'for fucks sakes' before throwing another stick.
Josephine went to inspect the sound, immediately thinking of Richie. Richie had recently started to do weird shit like constantly sneak out to see Josephine in the day time. Josephine's cheeks were tinted pink, making her body heat up in the cold temperature. She swung her legs to the side of the bed and pushed herself up and onto the floor. With a silent giddy small skip to the window, she opened it to reveal her long time crush, Richie Tozier.
"Oi Tozier, what are you doing?" Josephine said, quiet enough for only Richie to hear her. Richie smirked,
"To see you, cutie"
"Well bye" Josephine jokingly was about to close her window.
"No- wait! My parents got into a fight again" Those words from Richie made her stop. She knew the relationship between Richie and his parents and she pitied him.
