I lay down on the rocks next to Beverly sunbathing, I of course felt eyes on me.

"Are you guys seriously eyeing down my sister?" I overhear Eddie asks.

"Ah shut your trap Eddie, just because two are looking at her doesn't mean everyone is" I hear Richie 'whisper' back.

"Yeah and?"

"It's only, me, Stan and sometimes Bill"

"Doesn't matter Richie" I roll my eyes and I hear Beverly sitting up. I follow after, watch the rest of the boys who were watching me freak out trying to act like they weren't looking. Richie begins to rummage through Ben's bag.

"Newsflash Ben. School's out for summa!" Richie says yelling into his hand. I make my way to the boys.

"Is there seriously no room for me?" I ask.

"Well, uh there's a spot left"

"Where?"

"On my lap!" Richie says.

"Oh fuck off!" Eddie yells.

"I'll just sit over here" I sit on the ground in front of Stan's legs. 

"No, just sit on the rocks and I'll sit where you are" Stan suggests.

"Stan no, stay on the rock"

"Aww, you two are fighting like a married couple!" Richie yells.

"That is so not funny" Eddie says. "That my sister"

"And? It's a fact"

"Richie shut you trap before I push you off the edge into the water," Stan says.

"Aww, he's standing up for her" Richie continues

"Richie I swear to god!" I yell.

"I mean, if you two were a thing I wouldn't be surprised" Ben adds. I feel my face heating up and I playfully roll my eyes.

"You guys are so incompetent" I say.

"Offers still up for sitting on the rock" Stan says.

"I really don't mind sitting-" Without warning I feel Stan picking me up and putting me on his lap, my face turns into a literal stop sign.

"There now we're both on the rock" Stan says. I feel everyone's eyes on us.

"So, uh, what are we doing next?" Beverly asks. Trying to change the subject.

"Well, B-ben had said that he had more s-s-stuff to show at his place," Bill says.

"Yeah, I have a lot more on this topic," Ben says, referring to the history of Derry.

*

Ben wasn't lying when he said he had more to show about Derry's history. It's in a way, kind of fascinating how Derry used to be a Beaver trapping camp. But of course Richie had made a dumbass joke.

"What's this?" Stan asks.

"It's the charter for Derry" Ben answers.

"Nerd alert!" Richie says while imitating a robot.

"Actually it's pretty interesting, Derry started out as a beaver trapping camp" Ben says.

"Still is! Am I right boys?!" Richie yells while waiting to receive a high five from anyone. We shake our heads in disappointment at Richie. He slowly puts his hand down as Ben continues.

"91 people signed the charter that made Derry, but later that winter they all disappeared without a trace"

"The entire camp?" I ask.

"There were rumors of Indians but no sign of an attack" I continue to look at the papers while listening to Ben. "Everyone just thought is was the plague or something, but it's like, one day everyone just got up and left. The only trail left was a trail of bloody clothes leading to the well house"

"Jesus, Derry is all one big unsolved mystery" Richie says.

"Where is the well house?" Bill asks.

"I don't know, somewhere in town I guess. Why?" Ben says answering Bill.

"Nothing" Bill whispers.

"It's almost time to go home Y/n" Eddie says to me.

"Oh it is?"

"Yeah, should we head out now?"

"I mean it has been a long day"

"So is that a yes?" I nod my head. "Okay, Y/n and I are heading home before our mom goes ape shit, see you guys later"

"See you later!" I yell waving to Stan. His face shining a light pink. Eddie and I start biking home heading down Neibolt. "Hey Patrick went missing"

"Really?"

"Yeah look" I say pointing to the missing poster. "I mean that's one less asshole we need to deal with for now, but he is a person too so I kinda feel bad," Eddie agrees by nodding his head.

Eddie's walking his bike home when I hear his alarm for his pills go off. I continue to walk my bike when I hear his scream. I look behind me and I don't see him.

"Eddie? Eds?!" I drop my bike walking over to his, all his pills are scattered on the ground. "Eds?! W-where are you!" I yell. "Y-you know I get attacks when I'm alone!" I wasn't wrong, I would sometimes get an anxiety attack which leads to me having an asthma attack. I look over at the house I hate, the burnt Neibolt house. "Please don't say you went in there" I slowly made my way to the front door yelling Eddie's name. "Eddie? Eds? Ed?" I see a red balloon float across the room followed by a clown peeking from around the corner, I dash to the gate. "Eddie I swear to fucking god if your playing with me.." I walk to the right looking for Eddie. I begin to feel my heart race. "E-eddie?" It's completely silent, no words, no wind, nothing. I'm alone. I start to hyperventilate, making me fall to the ground, I feel my throat tighten, I stumble for my inhaler taking a puff, I feel a hand on my shoulder, I yell. It's Eddie.

"Y/n let's go now"

"Where the fuck were you Eds I was having an attack!"

"I know, I know I just freaked out because of something I saw an I ran away trying to get away from it. I'm sorry" I take a deep breath.

"No, Eds It's all good, I was just terrified you know" Eddie reaches down helping me up to my feet, giving a loving embrace. He let's go and I take another puff of my inhaler before heading to my bike to go home.
