"CAUSE THE TRUTH IS, I'M ABOUT TO LOSE IT. DON'T THINK I CAN DO THIS IF I'M NOT WITH YOU." - the cab: these are the lies

Eddie's light footsteps were heard as he ran to the place where he and Stan fell off his bike. Eddie didn't like being the bait, he didn't like the plan at all. It wasn't that it was a bad plan, that wasn't the problem for him. The issue was that he was extremely scared.

He didn't want his friends to die. They were the closest people in his life, and he couldn't bear to lose them.

Eddie continued his walk until he reached the stop sign that was now bent. Once the clown shows up, Eddie is supposed to run like his mother is after him, according to Richie.

Steve is supposed to pick him up two blocks away from the sign, which meant that he had to run those two blocks himself with a killer clown on his ass. If Steve doesn't show up with his car.. Eddie's toast.

About five minutes had passed while Eddie had been waiting for the clown. He turned around, ready to leave, when he heard that familiar patronizing voice.

"Leaving so soon?"

Eddie immediately halted, feeling his senses go numb. Now was not the time for this, but he felt as if he couldn't move. Maybe it was the fact that he was most likely going to die today, or maybe it because he was going to die alone, brutally murdered.

"Are you fucking deaf?" the clown was getting impatient, and Eddie knew it.

About a second later, Eddie received a blow to his stomach, successfully knocking him to the ground. He snapped his head up, finally realizing his surroundings.

He let out a groan of pain and muttered, "What the fuck dude?"

The clown sickly smiled and laughed, "I'm finally going to kill you! This is a moment for the books!" (get it lmao)

"I could say the same for you," Eddie narrowed his eyes at him.

"Let's play a game. You run as fast as your asthmatic body can take you, and I'll give you about a minute before I kill you."

Eddie ran as fast as he could, pumping his legs harder and harder. A good five seconds went by and he heard, "Now that I think about it, I always lie about the rules of that game. Oh, that's right, a minute is far too long for me to be waiting."

Eddie's eyes widened while he increased his speed, his sneakers scuffing with each step.

"If this is the end for me, know I wanted to do better. I'm sorry I let you all down. I'm sorry."

The clown was not far behind and he was catching up quickly.

Eddie let out a breath of relief as he reached the place where Steve was supposed to pick him up.

Wait... where the fuck is Steve?

The air rushed out of Eddie's lungs, and fortunately for him, his inhaler was in the shitty sewers.

Eddie was about to cry as he could hear the clown's crazy laughter getting closer.

The sound of a car screeching made him avert his eyes from his dirty shoes to the car approaching him.

It nearly ran him over as Steve screamed, "Get in the car, dipshit!"

Eddie scrambled to open the car door and he sat himself in the seat, breathing heavily.

"What took you so long?" Eddie asked with a bit of anger.

"Helping your friend Stan contain Dart," Steve replied as his fingers tapped on the steering wheel.

Eddie nodded, a smile playing on his lips. The smile was short lived as he saw Pennywise running after the car. Eddie let out a scream, "Steve, step on the gas or whatever the fuck makes this car go faster!"

Steve looked through his rearview mirror and grinned, "Right on time."

"Are you fucking stupid?" Eddie gestured towards Pennywise.

"We need him to come to my house, Eddie," Steve sighed.

"Yeah, without him killing us first!" Eddie screeched as the clown jumped on the back of Steve's car.

"Shit!" Steve yelled as the vehicle swerved, making Eddie hold his hand against his mouth to stop him from vomiting.

"Oh, don't even think about it! If you fucking throw up in my car, I'm giving you to the clown myself!" Steve scolded.

They finally reached Steve's house and quickly parked the car, Pennywise falling off the back.

They both ran inside to the basement, Richie smiling as he saw Eddie.

The group stood together as Pennywise came rushing in.

"Looks like everyone's here. At least now I can kill you all at once."

what do you guys think? some of this is funny lmao also it's two parts because it's way too long for just one chapter,, it needs a break (imo)
