"dad please, i'm begging you. i'll come back home i just wanna see them one last time" laura begs her dad.

today was friday, the day he was going to pick up laura's boxes. "you promise? that no matter what your friends do or say, you'll come back?" he says.

laura hesitates she didn't want to make the promise but, she needed to see her friends again.

"i— i promise" she says. "get in" her dad signals. laura was so happy she was going to see everybody again, mosley richie but it was gonna be impossible to say goodbye.

"derry, here we come" she says as she rolls her windows down.

"okay here's the plan, bill you are going to talk to laura's dad" richie says. he was very anxious for this day. the group was walking to their bikes while richie was walking infront of them backwards.

he was mostly focused on his feet, making sure he wouldn't trip.

"and as soon, and i mean as fucking SOON you get the number you bring in straight to me nobody else" the boys all stopped at the sight they were seeing as richie was paying no attention.

"and then— we'll take a bus and go find her and bring her home" richie looks up and finds the boys were many feet away from him.

"what the fuck?" he throws his arms out. he then turns around to see, the love of his entire life laura hargrove standing there with a smile.

laura ran as fast as she could to richie, he his arms wrapped around her waist and he hugged her tighter than you could imagine.

"you-you're back" richie says. "laura!" everybody yells and everybody gets their own individual hug.
"i'm surprised you would wanna move back in with your mom" stanley smiles.

"yeah um that's the thing" she frowns. "what-what do you mean? you are home for good right?" richie says.

"i'm sorry rich" her voice lightens and she tears up. "what? why won't you just fucking come home!" richie yells. "r-richie stop!" bill pulls him back. "yeah dude let her talk" eddie says.

"my dad, he um. he wasn't gonna let me come back with him. he wasn't even gonna give you guys our number. i begged for a week straight, i had to make friends before i even thought about seeing you again. so i did i made friend but, they aren't you guys, but coming here for the day is better than not coming back at all"
