I want nothing more (A Reddie Fanfiction)✓

(Continuation)

Again here's an update! We're a little bit near the end, guys just bare with me💕💕

Ben's POV

     Me, Beverly and Mike rested at my place. My mom wasn't home so I guess it will be okay if they stayed there for a bit of rest. We then went upstairs to my bedroom. 

"That place is still scary...even after all this time" Beverly murmured. I hugged her gently. 

     "I could still feel that house watching us when we crossed that street earlier. It was if that clown...never left" I said. Mike looked at us both. 

     "Calm down okay? If we let fear invade our minds again, that clown will definitely haunt our dreams over and over" Mike explained. I could feel my breath shaking with fear. Just a thought of red balloons made me shiver. 

     "I know you felt it too. You felt like the house was calling you right?" Beverly said as her words trembled before her. As much as I hate to admit it, yes I did hear someone call my name not just once but twice. 

     "Don't think about that...we defeated IT right? IT is gone" I spoke clearly as I held Beverly's face. She nodded at me with fear in her eyes. Mike hugged us suddenly.

      "If that clown is not dead then we're going to stick together and defeat IT again. And if the day comes that we're going to face IT once more, we'll kill him and make sure that he will never ever come back in Derry again" Mike said in a serious tone. We just kept hugging each other. 

     It just felt safe whenever we did a group hug. The three of then parted from one another at the same time. We laughed silently. 

     "Do you think we should tell Bill and the others about what happened at the Neibolt street?" Beverly asked worriedly. 

     "I don't think that's a good idea Bev. It's only been a year since we fought IT and everybody at the Losers are still trying to adjust and cope up with the traumas. We've suffered enough already from that stupid clown. I think we should just forget about it....for a while" Mike spoke softly. 

      He was right and it's not that we're going to keep this from them for a long time. We're just going to find the right moment to open up this to them. 

     "Let's just talk about something else..So uhm what do you plan about the tree house? It's still not finished" Beverly said as she desperately tried to change the topic. 

Mike sighed heavily. I wasn't in my right mind to answer her question either. 

     "You know what? Let's just call it a day..." I sighed at them. They both nodded at me and then gave me a hug before going out of my room. 

      I wandered in my bedroom for a bit. I scanned my eyes through the research I've made this past year about Derry and the entity demon, IT. I let my fingers ran across the papers pinned onto the wall. I still can't believe we faced IT last summer. Torment ran through my face as I remembered how we've been terrorized by that demonic clown.

      "Get OUT of my head!! Argh! Just...just let us be, let us live our lives, you stupid clown!" I yelled out of nowhere as I fell to the floor. 

      I breathe slowly as I think about my friends. I already knew all of us are just pretending to be okay when everything isn't.

      All of us are suffering from depression and the way it looks, our post traumas are not going away. We're still being tormented and haunted by that demonic entity, physically or not. I propped my knees up as I crossed my arms. 

     Not even one of our parent knows what's going on. Protection and guidance was taken away from us. It was as if they just stopped caring for us. All of a sudden, it was just the us and being part of the Losers.

      All of us are falling apart one by one and we're able to pull it all together everyday because of our strong friendship. Staying with them is just an option but to me, it's the greatest decision I have ever made in my whole life.

      As night fell so did my decision came. "No matter what happens, I'll standby with all of you, the Losers, always".
