FEELINGS // Stan Uris x reader

{Chapter Nine}

We were now in the parking lot, walking across to the grassy area with the bike racks.

We heard a car slow down by us. I decided to keep walking to my bike.

"Sugar, why are you hanging out with these losers?" I turned around to see Henry Bowsers and his goons. Why is this guy so obsessed with me.

I gave him a disgusted look. The rest of the group followed, and started to get on their bikes. Then Henry Bowsers gang got out of the car.

He walked towards me, and got close to my face.

"Come on baby. You know you want this." He trailed his hand from his chest to his crotch, then grabbed his crotch.

"Henry," Stan piped up, "who invited you?" Oh no. Stan is gonna get hurt.

Henry walked over to Stan and pushed him down aggressively. Then took his kippah off of his head, then threw it on the ground.

That's when something inside of me snapped.

"HENRY WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" I ran up and pushed him. It didn't knock him down. Everyone was shocked. "YOU WALK UP TO ME, LIKE I EVEN LIKE YOUR ASS. ATTEMPTED TO FLIRT WITH ME. IF YOU EVEN CALL IT FLIRTING. THEN YOU ATTACK MY FRIEND. AND IM SICK OF YOUR SHIT BOWSERS, AND YOU HAVE ABOUT NEGATIVE THREE SECONDS TO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME." I screamed at him.

"Sorry baby, did you say something? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my stomach. Why don't you go back to the kitchen where you belong and go make me a sandwich?" Henry retorted. I've had enough of this kids bullshit.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STARVE ." I popped the knuckles on my right hand then walked up and punched his face.

It didn't do any damage really, but he was shocked.

"This bitch is crazy, let's go." Henry spoke as they got in their car quickly then zoomed out of there.

It was quiet, very quiet when the bowers gang left.

I heard a whisper from bill, "I t-thought she d-d-didn't s-swear." Eddie aggressively breathed in his inhaler.

"Are you okay?" One of them asked.

"I'm doing great! That was invigorating!" I said as I hopped on my bike. The guys just followed my lead.

We got back to our street about 9ish.

"Hey Stan, do you wanna spend the night?" I asked him  as I stopped my bike in front of the door.

"My parent are expecting me home, maybe some other time." He kissed my cheek then walked next door to his house.

I snuck into my house, scared of waking Jennifer or dad.

I tiptoed up to my room and gently closed the door and the curtains. I changed into my pajamas and laid in bed staring at the ceiling for a few minutes, then I fell asleep.

————

I woke up and changed into a green sweater and light blue shorts, then slipped on some white socks.

I walked downstairs and looked for something to eat, what I got was a poorly written note from my dad.

Honey, here's some money. Go to the store and buy some groceries for us.

Below it was a twenty dollar bill. I rolled my eyes, 'looks like I'm the adult of the house now.' I thought to myself.

I slipped on a pair of sneakers and grabbed my brown backpack and left to find a grocery store. I rode down to Main Street and there was a grocery store right before the bridge to leave Derry.

I left my bike in front of the store, I walked in and it looked just like a Food Lion. Nothing expensive, just average things.

I grabbed a basket then got some bread, cheese, and mayonnaise. Then I went to check out.

The older person greeted me and gave me a strange look.

'Don't mind him, just probably isn't expect a child to be buying groceries.' I told myself.

"Paper or Plastic?" The man asked.

"Paper please." I spoke quietly. I reached in my bag for Kleenexes, but the packet was empty. Shit.

"That'll Be 14.68." The elder told me. I gave him my 20 dollar bill, and grabbed my bag.

The man gave me my change back, and I stuffed it in my pocket.

I left and put my groceries in the basket at the front of my bike, then rode it to the pharmacy that was a corner store in the middle of Main Street.

I parked my bike in front and walked in. The store had one person there, and he looked like a real creep.

I roamed the isles for a tissue box, after a failed attempt to find tissue packets.

I finally found one with a light blue in casing. I grabbed it and took it to the register.

"Find everything all right sweetheart?" He said with a creepy smile.

"A-alright." I said kinda terrified of this man.

He scanned it then held out his hand for the money, I gave him 5.10, keeping my 12 cents.

He put it in the cash register, and gave me a tissue box in a plastic bag.

"Have a good day," then he winked and gave me a creepy smile.

"You too." I said quietly as I shivered.

I rode back to the house and put the cheese and mayonnaise in the ridge.

I decided to keep the 12 cents and put them in my underwear drawer, so nobody will go looking for it.

I locked the door and sat in my room, looking through a poetry book I stole from Regan.

Then I thought about where Jennifer and Dad have been all day. It's basically night time now, and they're not here.

I walked downstairs to their room, and tried to open it, but it was locked.

I then walked down the hall to Dad's office.

I opened the door, and no one was in there. So then I decided to go back to my room, then I heard whispering coming from my parents room.

I put my head to the door and breathed quietly.

"Honey, I don't think we should stay here anymore."

"I agree, but no real estate person wants it. And we can't afford to own two houses."
