Fix You - IT Fanfiction

Fifteen

"They're gonna come pick us up in a minute," Vic told me as he pulled me in for a kiss, which I dodged.

"What's up?" Questioned Vic.

"I'm sorry, I don't really wanna do this anymore," I told him.

"What?" Asked Vic. "You mean our arrangement?"

I nodded.

"Why not?" Vic asked.

"I just don't really like you in that way. I mean you said we would see how things go and I know it hasn't been long, but I just know," I told him.

"Know what exactly?" He asked sadly.

"What's right," I said.

"Do you still wanna be friends?" Vic asked.

"Yes, of course," I said. "Nothing else will change between us."

Around five, Belch, Patrick, and Henry picked up Vic and I. We piled into the car. This was a good time to go to the County Fair because all the rich kids had just about cleared out and it was starting to get dark which made it even better.

"Why aren't you guys like making out or something?" Patrick asked.

"We aren't really together anymore," Vic said. "It just didn't really work out."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Henry said happily.

"You don't sound sorry," I said.

Henry stiffened up his tone. "I am."

I shrugged as we pulled into the parking lot of the big area of green grass next to the local pool where events like this were usually held. The Losers were waiting for us at the front gate.

"Hey, guys," I greeted.

The rest of the guys greeted each other as we met up at the gate. Ben, Mike, and Stan paid for their tickets while the rest of us crawled in under the fence.

I walked alongside Henry as we walked in. When we got in, we immediately went and rode rides. It was like a huge blur of colors, lights, and smiles. We played carnival games and Belch won that hammer test your strength game and won one of those promotional stuffed bacterias that drug stores use, which he gave to Eddie as a joke.

By the end of the night, it was only us in the fairgrounds and a few other kids, and the fair didn't close for another twenty minutes.

"Hey!" Yelled Patrick. "Let's go on the ferris wheel!"

Patrick skipped ahead of the group.

Everyone looked around at each other for acceptance, and the happy looks on everyone's face decided it.

"Yeah, let's go!" Richie yelled with excitement.

Patrick and Richie took off in a sprint towards the big lit up wheel. Bill started to run a few seconds later, then the rest of us took off, racing to the ferris wheel before the fair closed.

We were all out of breath when we reached the line, which was empty by now. The ride operator looked very irritated by us, muttering "Darn teenagers" under his breath.

Belch and Vic got in one seat together, then there was and Patrick and Richie, Stan and Eddie, Henry and I, and Ben, Mike, and Bill squished into one carriage.

The ferris wheel went slowly, but Patrick found a way to make it more fun. He was reaching out to Stan and Eddie in the carriage behind him and pushing the carriage causing it to swing back and forth, scaring them half to death.

I could hear Patrick rocking his seat back and forth, Richie egging him on and doing it too. After about two minutes of this, Patrick and Richie had both climbed out of the seat and were sitting on top of the seat itself. The ride operator saw then, but just rolled his eyes and looked back down at the magazine he was reading.

I laughed and looked out to the fair, lit up with lights, and buzzing with life.

"They're crazy," Henry said, looking upwards towards Patrick and Richie's seat.

I smiled and looked up at them too. 'This is great' I thought to myself. I never wanted that moment to end. I never wanted to leave that fair that night. I never wanted to leave Henry's side in that seat. I never wanted Patrick or Richie to change, and I never wanted to ever be without my friends again.

I knew right then I liked Henry as more than a friend. He makes me feel so positive, happy and full of energy. I don't know how I'd cope without him. He's my best friend, and even though both of us didn't know it, we always were. Even when times were tough, even when we didn't talk. Deep down, we were always best friends. And we always will be. I think I'm falling in love, but I wasn't really to fully admit it to myself yet.

Henry's P.O.V.

Everyone was hanging out together and I was so glad to have Prim here next to me. I love her so much, way more than a friend. I need her, she makes me feel whole again, she fills the empty part of my heart that's been broken by people. The love I feel for her has no end. I'm falling in love so very hard for the first time. But she's my best friend, I know it will never work out, which is why I know I'll be living with a broken heart. We're best friends, that's all we'll ever be.

Primrose's P.O.V.

And I guess that's how it was now. The Bowers Gang and The Losers Club had become one. I mean we had gone from bullies and victims to working together, and I think that's great. We truly have a chance at defeating whatever's haunting Derry.

I remembered back to when I had no friends after Henry stopped hanging out with me before I started hanging out with the Losers. When I was just a street rat living off of stolen apples and money I took from people by threatening them with my knife, hustling people. Now I have the best's friends I could ever ask for. All of them caring, kind and tuff as hell.

i like this gif, derry streets are really nice tbh.
