Richie Tozier//Quarry(2)

A week after the quarry incident, and for some reason Richie, Bill, and Ben won't talk to me. Even Eddie is acting weird.

Every time I try they just get all weird and start stuttering, With the exception of Bill of course, because that's his regular speech tone.

I feel like they're lying to me about something. I want to know.

I saw Richie riding his bike. I smiled and waved.

He pretty much ignored me.

"Hey Tozier!" I yelled for him.

He acted like he didn't hear me.

I sighed.

Maybe they just don't want to be friends anymore. At least I have Bev and Mike.

I went to mikes farm.

"Hey Mikey." I smiled at him.

"Hey y/n, what's up? You never come here. It makes you sad."

"I know but you and Bev are the only ones talking to me right now, and she's on a date with Bill."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"It's fine I guess. I just wish I knew why." I licked my lips.

He looked guilty, but I didn't say anything in fear of losing him too.

"Stan isn't talking to you either?" He asked.

I shook my head. "Although I think he's just too busy. So I don't blame him. Anyway, you wanna hang out?"

"Um. I can't. Sorry. I have to stay here and help."

"That's fine, maybe I could help too?" I suggested.

All I want is to be with one of my friends, hell even Richie.

"Sorry. You don't know what you're doing. Can't have you getting hurt and your parents suing us."

"Right. Okay. Well I'll see you whenever I guess."

"Bye."

I turned around, pursed my lips and walked away.

I walked to the quarry and sat on the edge of the cliff.

I sighed.

It's okay. I still have Bev. Well not at the moment, but I know I'll always have my sister.

Even if she does hang out with Bill a lot more.

No. Stop feeling sorry for yourself y/n. We're not going back down this path.

I swore I wouldn't feel this way again after the whole pennywise incident.

I sighed and grunted, throwing a rock into the water.

I remembered what it felt like to drown.

It was horrible. But not as bad as what pennywaise put in my head.

My biggest fear... is falling for Richie.

And even though he's an asshole, Ive had small crushes on him since 7th grade.

I sighed once more.

"Oh... I didn't know anyone was here." I heard behind me. I saw Eddie, Stan, Mike, Ben, Bill, Bev, and Richie.

They were gonna hang out without me. Even my sister. Mike lied to me.

I made eye contact with Richie.

"Sorry. I was just leaving anyway." I stood up and walked down the path.

"You said she didn't want to come?" Bev said to Richie, although I didn't hear it.

Tears fell down my face.

They could probably hear me crying.

I had shaky breaths.

"Y/n, wait up," Bev spoke. "I promise you, Richie told me that he asked you and you said you didn't want to come."

"I-it's okay Beverly. I know you wouldn't ditch me on purpose. I just don't understand why the others don't like me anymore." Tears fell silently down my face.

"They all love you, trust me y/n/n."

"Then why don't they talk to me anymore. Why do they act like they don't see me in the streets or lie to me about having to work! None of this Assholes care about me!" I yelled.

"It's because they can't stand lying to you. And neither can I..." she spoke quietly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Eddie didn't save you. Richie did. He jumped in, pulled you out, and gave you CPR. You assumed it was Eddie so he figured it'd be best to go along with it. He made us all swear not to tell you."

"So you've all just been lying to me this whole time? You've listened to me talk about how useless I felt in the group because nobody hung out with me anymore! And you didn't say a fucking word!?" I shouted at her.

"I'm sorry y/n, I really am." I saw tears well up in her eyes. She feels really bad.

"It's okay Bev. I forgive you." I hugged her. "I just want to go home..."

She nodded.

We heard running down the hill and I turned around to see Mike.

"Listen, I am so sorry that I lied to you y/n, I just couldn't handle talking to you, knowing that if you found out, you'd hate me."

"I don't hate you Mikey. I could never. I don't hate any of you... not even Richie." I shrugged with tears.

"You don't?" He asked confused.

"I'm pissed. But I don't hate you." I wiped my tears away. "I'm giving that asshole a piece of my mind." I stormed up the hill once again.

"Richard! How fucking dare you!" I pushed him.

"You guys told her!?" He yelled at Bev and Mike.

"She's my sister!"

I punched his chest repeatedly with every sentence.

"You lied to me! You made me feel useless! Alone! I wish you would've just let me drown, you asshole!" I hit him one final time and he grabbed my wrists.

"Are you fucking done?" He asked calmly.

I painted, not saying anything. He let go and I hit him one more time.

"You broke my damn heart, Richie." I said quietly.

His expression lightened, probably because for the first time I'm forever, I didn't call him Richard.

I ran down the hill and ran home, Bev close behind me.
