Your POV

We all rode Ben to the pharmacy while Eddie went on and on about aids. Kids are going missing, this one looks like he's already dead and Eddie's biggest worry is an aids demographic. Really? I know it wasn't dad who killed him for 2 reasons; 1. It's almost lunch time and dad prefers it when it's dark. And 2. He's still alive. If it was Penny-wise. He'd be floating by now.

When we arrived I stayed outside with Richie while everyone else went to get some stuff to fix him up.
"I'm glad I got to meet you before you died" Richie joked. "Not the time" I snapped back. Lightly elbowing his side. He shuffled his feet awkwardly. I think he expected me to laugh. I normally would, but I don't think that Ben would like it if we did. "Don't mind him" I told Ben while gesturing at Richie, "He doesn't have an off switch". "But you do turn me on hot stuff" Richie smirked. I could taste his flirtation. Rose water. But just laughed it off and rolled my eyes. I did like Richie. A lot. I just don't want him to get hurt. And I'm sure that if anyone found out about my dad Bill would kill me and Richie would ignore me. That's why I make sure no-one finds out.

The others came out with cotton pads, bandaids, bandages. The whole fricking shop. "Doctor K" as Richie called him, started to clean the cut and rap Ben up nice. It was only when all the blood was cleared that I saw the "H" printed into his side. "Bowers" I growled under my breath. If I had my father's powers I'd eat him for breakfast. Sadly I don't. I looked up to see everyone staring at a pretty girl with bright red hair. It was Bev. Beverly Marsh. I had heard the rumours, I mean, everyone had. But I didn't believe them. She seemed so nice, and it looked like she cared for Ben, by the way her eyes shined and from the faint rosewater and lemon I could taste in the air.
"Hey Y/N" she called out to me. I'd seen her in the pharmacy a while ago. I taught her how to flirt into not paying. "You sure they got the right stuff to fix you up?" She asked Ben kindly. She was a sweet girl.
"Yeah, I just fell" Ben lied, it was a white lie but I could still taste it, fish.
"Yeah, right into Henry Bowers" Richie added.
"Shut up" Stan hissed. Bill stuttered out an invite to the quarry with us tomorrow. She smiled, accepted then left.
"Good job bringing up bowers in front of her" Stan scolded Richie.
"What, it's the truth" he defended.
"What did she do" Ben asked inocently, like a child asking his mother about sex for the first time.
"More like who'd she do, from what I hear the list is longer than my wang" Richie said, grabbing at his shorts as he said wang.
"Well that's not saying much" Stan sassed back. I giggled and Richie shot me a death glare. He then calmed down again and said "trust me hot stuff, give it a week, you'll be begging for this" he said once again gesturing at his dick. I checked my watch and remembered that I had to help my dad with something so I turned to the trash mouth and whispered "maybe I already am" seductively in his ear before shouting goodbye to everyone and getting on my bike. Before I left I heard Stan say "she really is Mrs. Trash-mouth" and Richie quietly mumble "I wish."

A/N: I'm on half term now so I'll probably be writing more cause I've got more time. Give me ideas, suggestions or corrections because it'll help and I hope your enjoying so far. 🖤
