Chapter 12

Love Note

*Elijah's POV*

I stayed up all night, thinking about what happened. I couldn't sleep or talk. I only stared at Billy's bedroom floor while being curled in a ball. "E-Elij-jah?" Billy said. I turned around and saw him on his bed looking concerned. "Oh sorry. I'll go look around for a while." Billy nodded as I walked out.

I got on my bike and pedaled to the burned house. I got off my bike and went inside the kitchen but saw no sign of the body. I decided to look around. I went down in the basement and saw a well. The room smelled kinda like something rotted. I went back upstairs and pedaled off.

*Y/n's POV*

I woke up to the smell of f/f. I smiled and got dressed. I went downstairs and saw Bill with only sweatpants on. He turned to me and smiled. "Good morning kitten." I smiled and giggled. "So we're making nicknames now?" I smiled. "I guess so." Bill smiled. I laughed. Bill set my plate in front of me. "Thanks." I smiled.

I started to eat. 'Was it right to do that?' I thought. I finished eating and went in my room. 'I should go to Beverly's.' I got dressed and walked downstairs. "Where are you going Y/n?" "Oh was going to Beverly's house." I smiled. "Ok." "Bye Bill!" I said walking out the door. I got on my bike and pedaled to Beverly's.

I got off my bike and knocked on the door. "Hey y/n!" Beverly said as she hugged me. "I need to talk to you." I whispered. Beverly nodded and led me to her backyard. We sat on a bench. "Promise you wont be mad at me." "I will never be mad at you." Beverly held my hand. "I-I... Slept with B-Bill."

A tear went down my cheek. Beverly pulled me into a hug. "Shhh, its ok. I'm not mad." More tears fell down my cheeks as I hugged her. "I don't know if the Losers would be mad at me. Elijah's words kept replaying in my head and I guess I listened." "Its ok. Anyways its normal for teens to have these feelings. Your not the only one who slept with a person."

I looked at her. "You slept with someone?" "Yeah, his name is Henry. I kissed him at a talent show and after things got personal. Couple months later he died because he tried to kill Mike but Mike pushed him and he fell down a well." I hugged her. She hugged back.

*Elijah's POV*

I knocked on my door waiting for someone to answer. Ethan answered. He looked at me. I was surprised when Ethan hugged me. I hugged him back as a tear slid down my cheek. The last time I hugged him was when we were in 5th grade. He let me inside.

The house still smelled like dad but its probably Ethan smoking. "Where's mom?" "At a bar." Ethan said as he lit up a cigarette. "I'm gonna stay here for a while." "Oh. Dad never came home. He's probably looking for you." The thought of dad came in my head.

The blood splattering allover me and how I kept stabbing him. "Elijah?" Ethan snapped me out of my thought. "Oh sorry. I'll be in my room." I faked smiled and went in my room. I laid in bed as the memories replayed in my head. I hit myself in the head as I tried to forget but it wouldn't go away. I cried myself to sleep.

*Y/n's POV*

I walked around the neighborhood with Beverly talking about stuff. We talked about the women being eaten by Pennywise and how we never seen him ever since. The sun started to go down. "Beverly I have to go home." "Oh ok, I'll take you home."

"No I'm fine but thanks though." I smiled. "No problem. See you tomorrow." "Bye." I waved. She ran inside while I grabbed my bike and pedaled off. I walked inside and saw Bill cooking something fancy. I blushed as I hugged him from behind. "How was your day kitten?"

Bill asked turning around and wrapping his hands around my waist. "It was good. You?" "Good." I smiled. I pulled away and walked to the table and sat down. 30 minutes later he walked towards me and set my plate in front of me. "Thanks Bill." I smiled. "Your welcome." he smiled then walked away.

After Dinner...

I laid in my bed thinking of what to do tomorrow. I forgot about reading the note. I got up and unzipped my backpack. I pulled out the note and taped it together.

Dear Y/n,

Have I told you yet...
How much you mean to me...
Have I told you yet...
About all the happiness you bring me!
Just in case I haven't...
I want you to know that...
Your the best thing
that's ever happened to me!
I Love You

-Elijah

A tear slid down my cheek. I should've known. 'I need to talk to him tomorrow.' I thought. I heard footsteps coming to my room. I quickly hid the note inside of my book and stood up. Bill opened the door and looked at me. "Are you ok?" "Yeah, its just that something is in my eye." I lied.

I rubbed my left eye. "Oh ok, goodnight." Bill smiled. "Goodnight Bill." I smiled. He closed the door. I got on my pj's and slid into bed. I hugged my teddy and thought about Elijah. 'I should've known...' I thought as a tear slid down my face.
