"This is all your fault! You know how delicate he is!" Mrs.Kaspbrak yelled at the group of kids. "We are att-attacked Mrs k-." Bill tried to defend himself, as well as the others. "No! Don't try to blame this on something else!" She spat. She dropped her Keys, Beverly and Riley both trying to help pick them up.
"Don't!" She said stopping them, picking them up herself. "I've heard all about girls like you two," she started getting a glimpse of Keira hand in hand with Stan. "You three...and I don't want girls like you, touching my son." She seethed at them. "Mrs. K-," Bill tried once more. "No! You are all monsters." She retorted, getting into her car and driving Eddie away.
It was silence the horrific event, and now Eddie being taken by his mom, really it left room for nothing but silence. "I saw the Well. We-we know where it is. It's the w-wellhouse And next time we'll be better prepared." Bill spoke up, breaking the silence. "No!" Stan shouted. "No next time bill, you're insane!" Stan yelled at him.
"Why? we all know no one else is gonna do anything?" Beverly scolded them. "Beverly, Eddie was nearly killed! Keira is scared out of her mind and-," Richie trailed off looking over at Ben. "Look at this motherfucker! He's leaking hamburger helper!" Richie exclaimed pointing at Ben's slashed stomach.
"We all know it's not going to go away. Ben, you said it yourself. It comes back every 27 years." Beverly recited. "Fine, and I'll be 40 and far away from here. I thought you said you wanted to get out of this town too." Been pointed out. "Because I wanna run towards something, not away." She retorted.
"This all just seems a little too crazy, Bill we can't keep doing this!" Riley said. "At least some girls make sense, instead of Molly Ringewald over here." Richie said as Beverly glared at him, flipping him off. "I wanted my summer to be fun! I wanted to finally talk to you guys so it wasn't just us girls. But, I cannot handle this." Keira spoke up.
"Exactly, did you forget that Beverly?" Riley said. "Excuse me? Forget what? How you thought you were too cool to be friends with them in the beginning?" Beverly spilled. "What?" Richie asked, hurt laced in his voice. "How you were, only trying to be friends them so you could finally date your crush Stanley Uris?" Beverly said.
Anger finally built up in Keira, as she let go of Stan's hand walking up to Beverly. "That's not true! And you know for damn sure that it isn't!" She yelled. "Oh yeah? Then what's the fucking truth?" Beverly asked as they both stayed silent. Looking back Riley watched Richie glare at her. "What she's saying was true then, I'll admit it. But, it's not to true now." Riley tried to convince him.
"But, you thought you were too good enough, didn't you?" Richie asked. "No-," "and here I thought, maybe a pretty girl could actually like me." Richie foxes his glasses. Keira tried to reach for Stan's hand, like she's done so many times before. "Stan, that's not the truth I-," he moved away from her. "...Stan." Her voice cracked just over a whisper. "I really did like you." Stan mumbled. "Did?" Keira pointed out, Did as in past tense. Meaning that he didn't anymore...
Stan just looked away from her. "Fine! Fucking fine! If you wanna twist our words, and make us seem terrible then fine! Remember we were the only ones that were nice to you. You've never heard from this bitch a day in your lives!" I Riley yelled tears falling. "Let's go Keira." Riley said as they grabbed their bikes, leaving.
"Let's face the facts." Richie started, heartbroken and angry. "This is the real world. Georgie's dead! Strip trying to kill us too!" Richie spat. "Richie!" Beverly scolded. "Georgie isn't dead!" Bill argued. "You couldn't save him, but you can still save yourself." Richie said.
"No! T-t-take it back! I know, your scared and we all are but, take it back!" Bill yelled shoving Richie. Richie stumbled back, as he went back up to Bill shoving him. Bill got so angry he punched Richie in the face. Mike and Stan holding them back from each other. "Guys stop!" Beverly yelled. "This is what IT wants. IT wants to divide us. We're all together when we hurt IT. That's why we're still alive." Beverly pointed out.
"Well, I plan to keep it that way." Richie told her. Mike turned to leave. "Mike," Beverly called. "What? I can't do this. My grandad was right. I'm an outsider, I gotta stay that way." He explained.
