I'm Human Too

Needing a Friend

(Renney's POV)

I made my way back into my home. I sigh, my orange hair is wet. I have the hairband I use to tie it up into a ponytail on my wrist. I put the wet towel up to dry. I grab my phone and look at the pictures we have taken together. As I sit on my bed, I see Pennywise standing across the room from me. He is fiddling with the end of a white string that had a red balloon on the end. It floated up next to his head as he twirled the string around his finger. I put my phone down and look at him.

"Pennywise?" I ask. He looks up like he didn't realize I was watching him. I pat the bed next to me. He came over and sat down against the headboard with me. He gave me the balloon. His eyes were blue.

"Thank you." I smiled, but Penny wasn't smiling.

"I love you." I said as I tied the balloon to my lamp on my nightstand. I turned back to Pennywise and see that he hasn't disappeared yet. His eyes were wide as he stared at me. His lips turned up into a smirk, it's nice looking.

"...My queen." He purrs. He comes closer to me and kisses my cheek. I smile as my cheeks heat up. When did I have a thing for clowns? And since Pennywise seems to be a magical clown, I might date a magician.

"Penny..." He looks at me with blue eyes, "What are you exactly?"

"I'm a clown, my dear." He smirks, I can see through it though. It's so fake. I have experience with fake things anyway.

"If you love me, you wouldn't lie to me, Hun." If I want to find out the truth then I have to sorta butter him up. Doesn't mean I don't have actual feelings for him but it's a friendly way to get what I want. He sighs and I can tell I have broken through. He shakes his head and his eyes turn red as he growls.

"If I tell you, you'll leave me." He grumbles. I put my hand under his chin and raise his head to look at me. I lean in, I feel nervous as I kiss his lips, a light peck.

"If a girl allows you on her bed, you know she has feelings for you." I smile. His eyes stare into mine.

"I'm a demon." He then disappeared, the warmth of him leaving my soul as I frown and feel rejection take hold of my heart. Another person I thought loved me left. Again. I feel like I wanna cry as I sit in my dark room alone.

{Next Morning}

"Shhh...she's sleeping." A familiar voice says.

"D-Don't poke her-er" I recognize Bill's stammers anywhere. I feel a finger poke my cheek. I grab the person's hand, causing a shriek. Eddie. I lick the hand. It pulls away as I sit up and laugh.

"What the hell are you guys doing in my room?" I laugh as Richie hops up and starts jumping on my bed like a freaking dork. I shove him off and he almost kills Beverly.

"We kept calling yo from down there," Ben said, pointing out the window, "But you didn't respond so we came in to check on you."

"Oh...I did stay up pretty late last night...." I lie. My heart feels empty. I feel like I can't function anymore. I hope Pennywise is okay...

"So what do you guys want to do today?" I ask them.

"Let's walk around town! We haven't been out in a while and it's a nice sunny day." Beverly suggested with a smile. We all nod and scatter to our vehicles. I hop onto my skateboard and start pushing into the town. Shops and stores and restaurants, and parks and streets and barbers and bakeries. The sun beat down on everything, making the air smell like burning tar from the road.

"Dude. Let's get some food. I'm hella hungry." I smirk at Richie who walks beside me. We had stashed our bikes/skateboard behind a garbage bin in an alley.

"Hell yes." Mike said. We all looked over at him. I put my arm into his shoulders and led him to a pancake house. Everyone was soon seated.

"Money?" Ben asks and looks at us all. They all looked to me. I sigh and take out a roll of catch out of my pockets. They all gasped and oohed.

"Where the hell do you get that?" Stanley asks with a disbelieving look.

"My secret side job. I'm pro at it so I get paid lots. Order whatever, I'll cover for all. No need to pay me back." I say and hide it in my secret pocket again. They all start scrambling for menus. I put my mind into thought mode as I stared at the table cloth before me.

Where is Pennywise? I miss him a lot. I mean it hurts, he left just after I told him how I felt...

Like what do I do now? Do I just...keep living and hope he will come back? I mean what's the chance of him coming back? Even I am the Queen of Derry, I can't expect him to love me anymore. I mean this is what he wanted! He wanted my love! And I gave it to him and asked a simple question then he just disappears off the face of my Earth. I sigh lowly.

"What's wrong?" Ed asks. He is the closest one to me. I look at him and shake my head silently.

"Come on, you can trust me!" Ed smiles as best as he can. I nod. I know I can trust them all but not with a secret this big. I mean they hate Pennywise, especially Bill...I mean Georgie...ugh.

"It's just some guy trouble. No problem. I can handle it." I lean back in my seat and cross my arms. I hope I can handle this.

"Guy trouble? W-who's the lucky guy anyway?" Ed asks, leaning in on his arms.

"Just some really cute, nice guy. He's caring and funny and awkward. I don't know how to get to him." I look to the ceiling. Where is Pennywise? I miss him so much.

"Maybe he will realize how lucky he is to have you." Ed says with a knowing look. I nod and pat his hand.

"Thanks Eds." I smile.

(Pennywise's POV)

"Maybe he will realize how lucky he is to have you." Eddie boy says. He is leaning in to Renney and Renney looks indifferent, in her eyes. On her face she is frowning and looking everywhere. She nods and pats his hand, I growl.

"Thanks Eds." She smiles at him. I feel the fiery familiar burn. My eyes turn a deep red. I teleport under the table and next to Renney's feet. I want to talk to her again but...not after what she now knows...

Not after that.
