I walked down to the movie theater and saw Beverly waiting for me outside. "Hey Bev!" I called as I ran to her. I looked behind me and saw a guy was staring at me. "Ok weird." I mumbled to myself.

"You never told me what we are seeing." I stated as we walked in. 

"Oh, I thought we could see Gremlins." Beverly stated. 

We walked in and got coke and popcorn. We went into the room where our movie was playing the movie didn't start for about 20 minutes so, me and Beverly talked, one by one more people came in the movie started. We watched the movie and ate our popcorn. 

Timeskip to after the movie.

"Seriously the old man said not to feed them after mid-night, and not to get water on it. What did he do?" I asked. 

"I mean of course he did Amber, it's a horror movie, what did you expect?" Beverly answered laughing. 

I walked Beverly back to her house and started my journey home to mine. I kept thinking back to the movie and how everyone was scared. I finally made it home and went upstairs to lay down. I changed into my pj's and got into bed. I fell asleep after a bit but ended up waking. This persisted for a couple more times until I decided to get up. I turned on the t.v and turned the volume down. I ended up watching movies for the rest of the night. 

I awoke a little after 10:00 Am. I got out of bed and threw on this outfit: 

I heard my mom downstairs talking to someone

I heard my mom downstairs talking to someone. I got up and headed downstairs and sure enough, she was talking with... Butch Bowers? 

"Hello, Mr.Bowers." I spoke. 

"Hi, Amber" Butch waved with a beer in his hand. I walked over to where they were talking and Butch patted my back.  

"Your mother had told me all about you, you are a good kid." He faked a smile. 

"Uh.. thanks. Mom I'm going out with the boys." I spoke as I moved away from Butch's hand. 

"Alright, but be safe." My mom faked concern. 

I left out the door to go find the losers, as I was walking down the street I saw them riding from Bill's house down the street. I broke into a sprint to see where they were going and soon found out they were going to the niebolt house. I stopped to catch my breath as I listened in on their conversation. 

"Bill, Bill you can't go in there. This is crazy." Beverly tried to reason.  

"Look you don't have to come in with me, but what happens when another Georgie goes missing? Or another Betty or Ed Corcoran? Or one of us?" Bill spoke without stuttering. 

"Are you just going to pretend like it isn't happening? Like everyone else in this town?Because I can't." Bill continued without stuttering.  

"I go home, and all I see is that Georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals, but... he isn't. So walking into this house, for me, is easier than walking into my own. Bill finished. At that point, I was sobbing a bit as I walked up towards the house and past the rest of the losers. 

"Wow." I heard Richie say. 

"What?" Ben asked. 

"He didn't stutter once." Richie stated. I walked up onto the porch and gave Bill a big hug and a kiss on the forehead. Richie, Ben, and Eddie started walking up the steps when Stan started, "Wait, shouldn't we have someone keep watch? Just in case something bad happens?" Stan looked around. 

Bill turned and asked who wanted to stay outside. Everyone raised their hands except Beverly and I.  

"Fuck." Was all Richie stated as he turned and put his hand down.
