"This mental pressure got me poppin' pills and shit,
But I'm into it."

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: guns

We spent the drive to the cliff in silence. I continued to hold richies sweaty hand, and just stared out the window. This could be the end of my life. Even worse: I may have to live on without richie.

"We'll be there in two minutes, guys. Are you all ready?" Stanley asked rather calmly. Nobody said anything, just nodded.

I'm terrified.

"Richie?" I faced him. "If something bad happens tonight, I will always love you. Never, ever forget that." "Y/n, you'll never even begin to understand how much I love you, I never knew I could feel like this. All I've ever felt towards anyone is hate, because of that step father of mine, but you changed that. Even if something really bad happened tonight, that wouldn't take my mind off of you."

"Speaking of which, how are you feeling." He rubbed my hand with his thumb. "I'm okay with this. I've thought about it, and really, I'm okay with this." I smiled. "Once you're with me, I couldn't give a shit weather I die or not."

"Holy shit, guys. You make me want to just kill myself right now. Shut up." Stan sulked. We all chuckled but Stan stayed serious. "Seriously. I am not kidding. Don't start with that cringey love bullshit."

The car began its climb to the top of the cliff. I took my gun off safety and loaded it. Am I really ready to die?

"Good luck guys. I love you all. If anyone survives to see Eddie again, just tell him that I'll fuck his mom in hell." Richie said before clicking the car door open.

Before he fully opened the door, he leaned in and kissed my quickly and passionately.

We all got out of the car and saw a big black van a bit further up on the cliff. "Try stay as low profile as possible." Billy told us, we all nodded and whispered quiet 'okay's.

I heard the van door slide open and some deep laughs. How old are these dudes.

"Dumb kids." Is all I could make out from their conversation. Stanley ran to the front of the van and looked behind it. Even in the darkness, you could notice his skin growing significantly paler.

He ran back over to is quickly. "I think we should just leave." He sounded very scared. "Don't be a fucking pussy Stan. Shut up and man up, please." Richie rolled his eyes.

To my horror, richie ran around the van and I could hear a number of gun shots. My heart sank. Stan and bill went around too, and then the gun shots got more persistent.

I couldn't go. I felt like I was a let down to the boys. To richie. He didn't want me to come but I insisted. "Hello baby." A man with a strange accent said from behind me.

He tried to kiss me, but when I turned away he grabbed me. He picked me up and brought me dangerously close to the edge. "I think they're all dead." I heard a familiar voice. Billy. Thank god.

"Not yet, kiddos. But I will remain alive, unless you also want this little slut to die with me." He told him. I turned my head to look at the boys.

Stanley was cradling bills arm, pressing a piece of fabric against it. I'm guessing bill got shot?

Stan looked untouched. Not a hair on his head was out of place. Wait a second, where's richie? Shit.

My heart felt like a weight was lifted from it when I spotted a very familiar Hawaiian shirt in the driver side of the van. It looked as if he was loading a gun.

"Put her the fuck down, and I might kill you a bit quicker." Rich yelled as he came down from the van. "Oh, stupid boy. Do you really think I'm afraid of dying?"

"Oh, you're not? That's quite sad, actually." He said, his tone told us all that he couldn't give a shit how he felt.

I heard his gun click, and before I knew it I was right at the edge of the cliff. "I wouldn't do this, you stupid boy. You're just killing your whore."

"Ha, oh wow, we just met, you're not my whore." He joked. Stan gave him a look that told him 'this is not the time'.

Just get angry. You know what you're capable of when your angry. Wow, for once the voice was quite helpful. All I have to do now is get angry.

I began to think about how weird richie was being at this time. How is he like this. That didn't help though, that just made me happy.

I thought about all the things that the losers didn't tell me. Like, oh, I don't know, they're all murderers. My fists clenched and I used up all the strength in me to twist myself around and kick him off the cliff.

He grabbed my leg and tried dragging me down with him, but all the boys ran up as fast as they could and Stan shot him right in the head, obviously causing him to let go.

"I don't think it's over, richie. That seemed too easy." Bill worried...
