Dare Me (Henry Bowers x Reader)

Lots of Lies and Fuzzy Eyes

"Holy shit." Julie says as we pull up to see lines of cars boarding the street. "All of these for the party?" "I hope not." Carly says annoyed. "So many bitches will be walking around." I shrug smiling. "Then we just make our way through them." "Oh! There she is!" Julie shakes my shoulders laughing.

I park in the first open spot I see and once we get out of the car we can hear the music, and smell the alcohol and weed. "Ah smells like... a good fucking time." Carly smiles throwing her jacket over her shoulders. "Hey, Tozier! When'd you creep out of your cave?" I see Tommy running over with a cup in hand. "Well well well, Tommy Decon back from Flordia already? Hoping you'd stay there." He laughs passing the drink to me. "Why is that? Thought you would've missed me." "Well if you would've stayed and gotten a beach house then, of course, I would've missed you! But looks like you came back empty-handed." I sip the drink winking at him.

He smiles and looks around. "Wanna see something?" Us three girls nod and follow Tommy. Once we reach the fire pit we all sit down in open chairs. "check this out." Tommy proceeds to pull a tube out of his pocket and pulls out a blunt. "Who said I came empty-handed?" He pulls out a smaller bag and pulls out a nug. "Smell." I grab the plant and sniff. "Whoa. Why does it smell like weed candy?" "FUCKING RIGHT? I don't know how they grow it, but it is the next level. Here." Tommy lights the blunt and passes it to me.

I inhale to smoke and pass it along the line. "How many people are even here?" I glance at others who inhabit the lawn as well. Some are from school and then some I've never seen before.

"Last I heard he planned on inviting the whole grade." I see Julie roll her eyes passing the blunt to Carly. "Yeah. Even my brother." I turn to see the Bowers Gang making their way over. "We've got a slut alert!" Patrick says laughing. I just roll my eyes watching Henry avoid eye contact with me. "Yeah, Cockstutter. What about it?" Patrick smirks and places his hands on my hips roughly swinging me around. "Thought maybe I could get on the waiting list. I hear it's the best in town." "The best what?" Carly asks tearing Patrick away as fast as she could.

"Pussy! I've heard from the whole school! Plus my boy here." He points at Henry. I gasp cracking my neck to see Henry stunned by his friend's words. "Have you been spreading even more rumors now Bowers? Since you don't have the balls, to tell the truth, I guess I fucking will." I stand on the highest stump and yell getting everyone's attention. "Alright! Guessing you've all heard some things about me. Some pretty fucked up things. I'm here to set it straight. Here you go, Derry! (Y/n) Tozier IS A FUCKING VIRGIN! Yeah! Still a full cherry here. Now, if I hear one more fucking word about me and a list of guys, or if the word slut or whore or anything comes out of your mouths you won't see the next day. Thanks, assholes! Party on!" I jump down and chug the rest of my drink. I pass Henry throwing the empty cup and him. "Fuck you, Bowers."

Pouring myself another drink (this one almost pure vodka) Carly joins me laughing. "If I could have a picture of his face when you just did that!" I shrug and take a huge gulp almost gagging. "Fuck him." I say angrily. "Or... you could fuck him." Carly points to a well build guy drinking a beer and watching girls as they go by. "Who is that?" Carly shrugs. "Why don't you find out?" My right foot almost takes one step when my mind stops without even thinking. "Doesn't really look like my type. You go for it." She winks at me and walks over to the handsome man.

I walk outside sipping my drink and making small talk with others. I stumble over to the tree line giggling as my vision blurs. I lean against a tree laughing at a joke in my head when two arms suddenly wrap around me. "Woah! Hey Jules!" She smiles and walks me farther into the woods. "You okay (Y/n)?" I smile with lazy eyes and laugh. "Doing great." She nods. "Good. Good. How sober are you?" I ponder in my head for seems like minutes before she huffs "Never-mind."

"Are you going to kill me? Because if you do don't cut my face up. I want an open casket." "You're so fucked up (Y/n)." I see Patrick and Victor laughing at me. "I knew you were going to kill me!"

"Let me go you fat fuck!" Bowers' voice rips through the air with a drunken insult. Belch comes up with a wasted Henry under his arm. I make eye contact with him and immediately look away.

"This is so dumb you know it? Whatever happened between you two." Julie asks.

"Ask this asshole! He's the one who ignored me!" "Okay (y/n) shit works both ways. We just want you two to work things out. If you're not together, then be fucking civil. We're all going the be standing at the edge of the trees. Come back when you both decide to stop being bitches." Belch says pushing Henry towards me. Julie leans me against the tree softly.

I sink to the ground feeling drained. I stare at Henry with water welling in my eyes. No, don't cry. Don't cry over fucking Henry Bowers! I sniff and wipe a single tear away. I look up to see Henry crawling towards me. As he nears he sits next to me against the tree.

"Are you crying?" I stay silent and scoot away. "Why are you so mean Henry?" I break my silence letting my tears run. Henry sighs and lowers his head. "It's all I know (Y/n)." "But why are you so mean to me?" I ask looking him in the eyes. "Because look at you." Henry says taking a swig of his beer as I do the same from my cup. "You've (y/n) Tozier. The girl who won the beauty contest in 4th grade. The beautiful smart ass with the best ass! You've got it all. I've got an abusive alcoholic dad, a mom who didn't care about me, and a stupid brain. Why the fuck would I even try?"

My heart breaks for him, but it still doesn't excuse everything he has done. I stand up finishing my drink quickly. "Well I feel bad for you Henry, but some simple excuses does not change the facts. You treated me like shit for years. Now saying you slept with me? How do you have the-" Henry cuts me off by pushing me against the tree and pressing his lips onto mine.

He pulls away resting his head on mine. "I don't have the brains, or balls, or nerve, or whatever the hell you're going to say. I know I'm an idiot. I know I'm am the biggest asshole in history. I know you deserve someone who's got more. Fucking hell Tozier. Just... be with me. I won't hurt you again." 

I gulp my head fuzzy from not only the drinks but from Henry's lips. I stare into his eyes processing everything. 

"Richie and the kids can't find out. Plus you can't pick on them." Henry rolls his eyes kissing my nose. "Baby if I don't pick on them at all then they're going to think something's off. I mean fuck! It's been every day for years!" "Then you'll go to 3 days." "6." "2." "Or what?" I smirk running my hand down to his belt and pulling it slightly. "Then I guess... you'll never get to see what I fuck like." I whisper in his ear lowly. He shivers and grips my hips tighter. "3 it is." I giggle and jump wrapping my legs around him and attaching my lips to him once more.
