Losers' Club //Richie Tozier//

🎈67. 🎈

I sat on Bill's bed with my legs in criss-cross form as I looked at him cautiously. He sat in front of me with a small white cloth in his hands.

"I-it's warm water." He said as he pressed it against my chin and rubbed gently.

I gripped the shirt that I was wearing, his shirt, a marine blue long-sleeve and a pair of his grey sweat pants.

He ran the warm cloth on my cheek gently before pulling away and looking at me carefully.

"Thanks." I said quietly as I looked down at my hands.

"Y-you have a small c-cut on your cheek." He said as he pressed the cloth gently on my cheekbone. I whinced in pain as I pulled away slightly, "I-I'll Be back."

I watched as he walked out and I looked around his room that I've been in before but never got a good look of everything besides his pet hamster and his organized desk. The blue walls were smooth and a very nice shade. The window in front of his desk gave him a beautiful view of the neighborhood and the posters that stuck to the wall were really dorky but I liked them.

"Bill?" I called out as I kept my eyes on the door. I didn't hear a response, "Bill?" I called out again.

"S-still here." He said as he walked in with a small box in his hands.

I smiled slight as I watched him sit in front of me again.

"W-what happened out t-there?" He asked as he opened the door and pulled out ointment.

"Where are your parents?" I changed the question.

"Working." He said as he rubbed a bit of the oitment gently on my cheek bone, "y-you can't ch-change the convers-sation." He said as he unwrapped a circular band-aid.

"Nothing happened Bill." I said as he put the band-aid on my cheekbone and began to clean everything up.

"Y-you're shirt was r-ripped and you were co-covered in m-mud." He said as he licked his pink lips, "you're even s-scared of being alone in a room."

I pulled my knees to my chest and shivered slightly as I thought about the disgusting kisses and the touching.

Bill grabbed a blanket that was neatly folded at the end of his bed and wrapped it around my body.

"I-I thought Beverly told you." I said as I just remembered about Beverly being there to witness the beginning.

"T-tell me what?" He asked, "s-she stopped by in the m-morning to s-see if I wanted to hang out with h-her a-and the losers b-but I said I was bu-busy. That's it."

"Henry." I simply said. Quickly Bill caught on a bit and got a bit closer to me, "I was walking with Beverly and he pulled up with his goons and let Beverly go." I said as I swallowed the lump in my throat, "h-he forced me into the car and Belch drove us somewhere that was far and abandoned..." I said I rubbed my runny nose, "Belch turned off the car, he left with Victor and left Henry and I alone. Then Henry ripped my shirt and I kicked and punched. He pressed his pocket knife against my throat and, touched me. He unbuckled my jeans and began to touch me everywhere and kissed me." I explained quietly, "it was disgusting." I said as I clenched the blanket around me.

"W-we should call t-the police."Bill said as he stood up.

I quickly reached over and grabbed his hand to pull him back down, "no we can't." I said as I looked at him with pleading eyes, "don't you understand Bill?" I asked as I gripped his hand tightly, "the police can't help me or us, with anything." I said, "I-I just want to sit here, that's it." I said as I let go of him and shivered in the blanket.

"B-but-"

"Please." I sighed.

He quietly sat next to me and hesitantly wrapped his arm around me. I flinched but slowly got used to his soft touch.

"W-we're alone in t-this, huh?" He asked quietly.

I nodded my head slowly, "don't tell Richie... please."

He sighed as he nodded his head, "o-okay." He mumbled.

I licked my lips as I gripped his shirt and closed my eyes tightly, keeping the tears in.

I tried to forget about Henry's rough touches and sour kisses.

But it's impossible to forget the unforgettable.
