Wanna Float? - On Hold - OLD BOOK

Ben and Beverly

"So what now?"

This was the first question that came as Bill and I stepped out of the sewers.

"Well w-we k-know now, where the kids w-went" Bill stuttered and glanced back to the sewers.
Everyone was looking at us a little shocked and looked down at our hands. Bill and I noticed then, that we were still holding each other hands.
I quickly pulled away blushing and covered my face with my hands.
I was clearly embarrassed. Suddenly Richie smirks and walked a little closer.

"Well I know now, who will get laid" he said and playfully punched Bill's arm.

"S-S-S-Shut up Richie!", Bill said annoyed and rubbed his arm.

"Yea Dickhead" , I said and glared at Richie, still with a huge blush on my face.

"Bu-" Richie got cut off as suddenly a loud splash sound was heard behind us, we immediately turned around and notice a boy in the water. He was struggling to get up. Just as we thought, that he would run away again, he fell again and cries out of pain.

"We gotta help him" I said and sprinted towards him. Bill was right behind me as we both reached the helpless boy.

I put an arm of the boy around my shoulder, so did Ben and we helped him to reach our bikes nearby.  We sat him down on Bill's Bike and we all drove of to get medicine.

We got off of our bikes and walked around a house, so no one could see us.
Bill, Eddie and Stanley ran to the store while Richie and I were taking care of Bill.

"Glad I got to meet you before you died" Richie suddenly said as it became awkward.

Ben looked at him confused and I face palmed my face.

"What?" Richie asked me confused why I was acting like that  and then kicked a rock away.

Ben then looked at me and smiled lightly.

"Thanks for helping me" He said and whined a little, as the pain grew stronger .

"No Problem..?"

"Ben"

"It's nice to meet you Ben, my name is (Y/n) and the weird boy is Richie" I said and laughed a little.

"But secretly she loves me" Richie said and put an arm around me.

I rolled my eyes and put his arm away "You wish" I grinned and playfully hit his arm.
He chuckled and Ben grinned.

"You seem like good friends" Ben said, he then looked at his bloody hand and frowned a little.

"We're best friends!" Richie said proudly and smirked.

"May I ask you something Ben?" I asked and sat down beside him.

"Sure" He said with a half smile, he tried to hide the fact, that his wound was hurting like hell.

"Who did this to you?" I asked and inspected his wound, he had a few deep cuts and scratches.

"No one....I-I tripped" He lied.

"Doesn't look like that, You look like if someone had thrown you into a cage of hungry pigs" Richie said and sniffed "and U smell like shit"

"You're the one who smells like shit Richie" I said as a matter of a fact and looked at him annoyed.

He sniffed on his arms and then shrugged. I grinned and looked back to Ben who was almost laughing.

"So tell us, what happened really?"

"It was Henry and his friends" he said and played with his thumbs.

"Why am I not surprised" I said and put an arm around Ben, so I was half hugging him from the side. He leaned into my hug and we all fell into a peaceful silence.
Suddenly fast footsteps were heard.
We looked up and saw Bill and the rest of the guys coming to our direction.
Someone else was following them, seems like a girl.

"We got the things" Eddie said and handed me some band aid.

I began to take care of Ben and cleaned his wound. He carefully watched me as I cleaned it, I looked up and meet his eyes. I lightly smiled as he looked away blushing.
Bill glared a little and sat down next to me.

"Can I help?" he asked and smiled.

"Sure, he take this and clean it a little while I give him a pill and some water" I said and gave him the rag. He took it and smiled at me.

I got up and took my water bottle out of my backpack. I then took a pill out of the package and walked to Ben.

He took the water bottle and the pill and smiled again.

"Thank You (Y/n), you're an angel" he said and swallowed the pill.

"No problem Ben" I said and then turned around to face the girl.

"So who are you?" I asked and smiled.

"My name is Beverly, Bev for short" she said smiling and rubbed her arm nervously.

"She helped u-us t-t-to get the s-su-supplies" Bill said and stood now beside me.

"Well in that case" I stepped right in front of her and extended my hand "it's nice to meet you Bev. My name is (Y/n)."

As she shoke my hand her smile grew even more, so did mine.

"I can tell, that we both will be good friends" Bev said and I agreed.
