Chapter 5- Fake

FLASHBACK

"Promise m-me. If It ever c-comes back, we all will f-f-fight." You all nod as Bill finishes his speech, picking up a shard of a Coke bottle. He slices open his hand, a line of blood quickly forming. He moves on to Eddie, then Richie, then Mike, next you. Cutting swiftly but painfully, your hand begins a sharp pain, very much different from your nose. Next Stan who winces slightly as the already crimson shard slices open his skin. Like beef you think to yourself.

PRESENT DAY

Stan grabs your other hand (the good one) and pulls you up easily, walking you over to the Barrens nearby. "I never told you what I saw did I?" He whispers in your ear, even though Richie is already at the Barrens. "You didn't." You say back, fright bubbling in your stomach im not sure I want to know you think

"I saw you." He says, making you audibly gasp. "You had been shot, laying there in a ton of blood, and I kept biking. I had this odd feeling that that wasn't you, even though we killed It we KILLED It!" He nearly screams, his eyes crazed.

You watch as he begins to cry, silently at first, then loud hitching sobs. Stopping in the street looking at the sky, hair hanging out of his face. You suddenly felt the urge to kiss him. You grabbed him pulling him into a tight hug, and kiss. A very soft kiss that was quick and painless, but a kiss nonetheless.

"Wow." He says, stopping the tears almost immediately. "Richie told me." You say as Stan stares at you blankly. "Told you what?" You stare at him in disbelief, anger rising for both him and Richie. "Umm, that you loved me? Apparently you told him a couple days ago." Stan's face drops into a confused frown, "I mean, yeah I do, I have for sometime, but I never told Richie."

You stare at him, now not out of love, but out of fear. "A-are you sure?!" You almost scream, backing away from him. "Y/n I swear on my mother's future grave I haven't told anyone." He says seriously holding up his bird watching book. "Oh my god I didn't want to believe but this morning," You tell him about Richie this morning, how he wasn't Richie.

"We need to find It before the others get there." He says running wildly towards the Barrens, one side of his polo untucked crazily. You run after him, holding up your jeans and holding down your purple blouse, now soaked with maroon blood.
You both run into the clearing, noticing that Bill, Bev, Ben, and Eddie are already there, sitting next to Richie. "Well well well! If it isn't our lovebirds!" Richie yells as you approach the group, Eddie giggling next to him. "You're not Richie." You whisper everyone looking at you, then Stan. "What did you say?" Richie replies a look of fake shock plastered across his pale face. "YOU'RE NOT RICHIE! YOU'RE IT!" You scream as Bill leaps towards you. "W-w-what!" He screams as Eddie leans away from, now in a clown outfit face smeared with greasepaint, Richie making a groaning noise.

Stan suddenly comes out of nowhere, knocking It in the side of the face with a branch, sending It sprawling to the floor. "Get the fuck away from me!" He screams as he comes down with the branch one more time, this time It was prepared. He grabs the stick and rips it out of Stan's hand, pushing him away towards the Kenduskeag.

Suddenly It whirls on you, becoming Stan. You watch in horror as blood drips from his slit wrists, running down his hand like a river. "Are you sure you want to marry me?" He asks as he makes his way closer to you. You faintly smell rotted leaves and long dead things, underneath the pungent smell of blood. "This is what happens to good ole Stan! I'm showing you the future! YOUR future!" You gasp as It lunges for you, new blood smearing across your already stained blouse.

You dodge out of Its way, making a beeline for Stan. You wrap your arms around him tightly and bury your face in his chest, he pats your back but then pushes you off. "LOOK!" He yells as you turn around, now seeing something else. You see a girl, around 5 move towards you. Her swimsuit sticking to her body (missing a flower), deep red blood flowing from her temple. Gretchen. You think as her purple lips part to reveal rotted teeth.

"Mommy told you to watch me! I thought you loved me." She yells softly, her voice choked by water. "No I do love you, Georgie!" Bill screams from the opposite side of the clearing. You're not Gretchen you think as you quickly grab a stick from your side. "I'm going to kill you, Gretchen. I'm going to stab you in the heart and your going to die a long, painful death!" You screech as you lunge at It.

It runs back, transforming into Pennywise the clown, making its way to the sewers. "Don't let It get away!" Bill screams as he runs after It. Suddenly, It disappears in the mouth of the sewer, stopping Bill dead in his tracks. "I thought we killed It." Eddie whispers next to you now. "Why did you say you were going to kill Gretchen? It was a werewolf?" Bev asks moving over to you two. "I saw Gretchen." You say suddenly feeling exhausted. You sit down, Stan sitting next to you, and lean your head on his shoulder. You close your eyes as Stan plays with your hair. Eddie reaches for his fanny pack, looking in it for bandages.
