 "I heard he has a roller coaster and a chimpanzee... and fucking bones!" Richie exclaimed as we walked into Ben's room. "Bones yeah!" Eddie said excitingly until we finally got a good look in his room "What the fuck" I mumbled as i saw all the newspapers and missing kids pictures decorating Ben's room.  "Woah, woah, woah," Eddie gasped as he looked at the room "wow!" Richie said, sarcasm lacing his voice, though Ben didn't seem to notice "Cool, huh?"  "No, nothing cool. There's nothing cool." Richie stated while Eddie said "this is cool right here. Oh wait no it's not. It's not cool" Ben didn't seem to notice though since he just kept looking at his weird obsession with our towns history "What's that?" Stan asked as he pointed at a random piece of paper at the wall "That? That's the charter for Derry Township." To which Richie started snickering "Nerd alert" he says as he puts up his glasses "Actually, it's really interesting. Derry started as a beaver trapping camp." Ben started before of course getting interrupted by the trashmouth himself "Still is, am I right, boys?" Richie says as he raises his hand up to Stan, to which he shakes his head at Richie. I nudged his arm and he glanced at me as i pointed to Ben's wall "where the fuck did he get this stuff?" I asked and Richie shrugged "I don't know but it's freaking me out" I nodded in agreement as Ben continued talking "Ninety-one people signed the charter that made Derry. But later that winter, they all disappeared without a trace." "The entire camp?" I asked starting to get uncomfortable again as Ben nodded "There were rumors of Indians... but no sign of an attack. Everyone thought it was a plague or something. But it's like... one day everybody just woke up and left. The only clue was a trail of clothes leading to the well-house." I stepped back a bit after hearing this, all those people, just gone?  I thought as my mind went back to the clown, i shivered and i felt arms around me, i saw Richie smiling at me as he hugged me, i smiled back melting into his arms, but of course the moment was ruined by Bill "Where's the well house?" He asked as Ben shrugged "I don't know, somewhere in town, I guess why? " "Nothing" Bill said quickly but we all looked through his bullshit and we knew it was about Georgie.

I walked into my room, a bit afraid that my mom would be home, but i thankfully saw that there was a note on the kitchen table Sorry for hurting you sweetie, didn't feel well, i'll be back soon-Mom "Off to get drunk again i see" I said as i placed the note down, while i was glad that she wasn't here to be all drunk and hurt me more i still hated being alone, where nobody was here to talk to me, and it was starting to get dark. Fear was creeping up inside of me as i curled up into a ball on the couch and put on the TV. I was just watching a mindless show when i heard giggling, i stood up abruptly and looked around "Hello" I said before realising how stupid that sounded and stood up to find the source of the giggling, i walked towards the hall where me and my mom's rooms where, the giggling got louder as i entered my room. I shakily opened the door to find a red balloon floating there "Aw fuck no" I said nervously as suddenly the balloon popped and the clown was where the balloon once was "Hiya Y/N, come float with me, down here, we're not alone" He said, ending the sentence in a menacing tone, i screamed and ran out of the room, the giggling still following me as i ran out of the house, but stopped once i slammed the door. I went to the only place i could go to, Richie's. 

I ran across the street and looked on his road, his parents weren't there, i sighed in relief and knocked on the door quickly and a tired looking Richie opened the door, his eyes widened at my tear stained face and he asked "Y/N what's wrong?" That's when i broke apart, i started sobbing and he quickly engulfed me into a hug, and brought me inside. "T-there was t-this clown and it was-" I tried explaining before breaking down again and he held me "Hey hey it's okay you don't have to tell me, what ever it is it's gone now" He said and i hugged him tightly before stopping my sobbing and i gave him a kiss on the cheek, i saw his face go beet red and i giggled. We both stared at each other for a moment before leaning in, and right as our lips were about to touch the phone rang "Fuck" Richie stated before getting up to get the phone while i laughed "Eddie spaghetti how are you" Richie said in a british voice as i heard yelling coming from the phone and i laughed harder "Alright alright slow down wheezy i get it, i'll tell Y/N and we'll be there tomorrow" Richie said and i heard someone shout from the phone "Y/N IS WITH YOU OOOOOOH WAIT TILL I TELL THE REST OF THE LOS-" and Richie quickly slammed the phone back on it's case. "That didn't happen" Richie stated as i was still laughing from what just occured. "We got to head to Beverly's tomorrow, something happened" He said and i nodded "Alright, tomorrow" I yawned and I curled up next to him, quickly falling asleep.
