You were still sitting at the table with the losers, joking and making fun of each other. Richie has had his arm wrapped around your neck the whole time. The conversation growing deeper with new subjects, never failing to be interesting.
"Oh yeah, this brings back memories of when we beat a clowns as-" Bill slapped Richie with his foot, to stop him from saying anything. "Owwww" Richie groaned and rubbed his leg, now lifting his arm off you. The whole group glared daggers at Richie. They did not like revisiting the memory the creature had gave them, especially Stan. He was most afraid of IT. So much he couldn't even bare talking about the subject to his friends, Stanley just looked down at his feet, while Ben reassured him. You turned to face Richie. "C-clown? Please tell me what you are talking about." You mumbled, Richie turned to face you, looking at you trying to think of an answer, slowly opening his mouth but closing it again as if he were about to speak. The table was silent. the losers looking at you painfully not wanting to see the memories. Bill finally spat out. "C-c-lown. We b-beat IT n-n-nearly 3 years ago. We nearly died trying, we doubt you would believe us." Bill looked at your now stunned face, they have seen him too. Bill scanned your facial expressions until you stood up with speed. You looked at them all. "Pennywise tried to kill you?!" You spoke aloud. The group now shocked all stood up. Stanley was now breathing heavily. "You k-know Pennywise?!" Stanley and Mike both said in sync. Eddie took out his inhaler. You fell silent, eyes darting around the table. Beverly moved away from the table to the tree nearby. Everyone still focused on you. "It came for me. It wanted to be my friend." Bill now looking fearfully at you from the other side of the table asked "W-when d-did this happen?" He said with a tremble in his voice. "After I met all of you..." you whispered, but enough for the whole group to hear, even Beverly, seated now further away from the tree. "We made an oath" Bill angrily said with no stutter as he stomped his way over to his bike, which was clashed with all the others bikes. Stanley and Eddie now frantically looking around. "It cant be back! We killed it!" Stanley said as he's eyes darted anywhere in any sign of the clown entity. Eddie taking out his inhaler, also scared. Bill looked back at the group. Beverly stood up and walked to her bike which was next to Bills. She looked him in the eye and back to the group. Richie was mumbling something they couldn't hear. Ben and Mike were still seated on the table next to each other, looking at you still, they were to shocked to move. You, still standing at the table, looked worried at the group. They all were horrified at the clown. Who had brought them pain and suffering, they certainly did not want to fight IT again. "L-lets go to Bens house." Bill suggested to the group as they looked at him and nodded. They all walked over to Bill and grabbed their bikes, not saying a single word. Bill and Beverly were already seated on their bikes as they waited for the group. Bill looked over at you that was still at the table. "W-we can't do it without y-y-you Y/N." He said as he gripped the handlebars of the bike. "I don't have a bike." You said walking over to the group. "It's alright, we will just walk alongside our bikes." Beverly said with a high tone, nearly as to nervous to talk. "O-okay lets go." Bill said now walking ahead of the group. The rest got off their bikes and started to go to Bens house. Everyone was silent except for Richie who was so desperately trying to cheer up the mood a little bit, he walked next to you trying to make you smile. It nearly brought a light, but matters were serious now. You had not known that the clown had encountered anyone else, you were worried for your new friends. You were deep in thought the whole way to the house.

As you reached the house Ben ran to the door, instantly unlocking it. The door was squeaky while Ben tried to open the door, as it looked as it was stuck to the ground. He eventually managed while we stood behind him watching him to try open the door.

We went inside his room, it was an ordinary room for a teenage boy. It had a few posters here and there, figurines and decoration. We all stood in his room. Bill was going thru all the things on the left side of Bens desk as Ben was desperately looking for something. The group was either seated on his bed or leaning against the wall, staring at their shoes or staring at Ben. "It's not here." Ben said as he stood up. "The book. The book should have some things we need to know." He stared blankly at the wooden desk. He would have read the whole book earlier. The group was still silent. You were seated on Bens chair as you looked at Bill who was looking at you.
"This is bullshit." Richie spoke. The group turned to him. You not looking at him but listening, you stared back at Bill as he spoke. He had his hands on his lap as he was fiddling with his glasses, as he continued "We defeated that fucker years ago. Why would It come back now...." Bill broke the stare and looked at Richie while you looked at your feet, and back to you. "Y-Y/N?" You directed you gaze upon Bill. He sat down on the bed, with Richie, Mike, Eddie and Beverly while Stanley and Ben leaned on the wall. Everyone now was listening to what bill had to ask.
"What did IT do to you?" He questioned you, staring at you for an answer. You tried to think of an best explanation. You sighed. "I might as well tell you the truth to what the clown did." Everyone now focused on your words you continued, you know sat upright, still looking at the ground. "After I met you all...." you fiddled with your thumbs, you did not want to tell them. "After I went home...the clown, he was playing..what he called a game. He held onto me, bashed my head." You pointed to your wound on your head that was wrapped in a bandage. Ohs came from the group as they finally understood how you got the wound but they let you continue. "I t-then blacked out.... I couldn't find my mother the next morning. He came again, hugged me and put me to sleep... he said he was sorry and that he would come again..." you didn't want to tell group the last encounter but they deserved to know. "He kept referring me as dearie..."
You looked up to the group scanning for reaction. Mike opens his mouth to speak but Richie best him to it. He stood up form the bed and yelled. "Holy shit! Pennywise wants to fuck!" He jokingly said as he giggled like a toddler. The group looked at him. Eddie spoke. "Richie I don't think that's the case you dumba-" Bill interrupted Eddie as he was going to slap Richie at the back of his head. Richie still smiling like an idiot looked back at Bill. "H-he is right." Bill said before looking at me. "Wait what? I wasn't being serious." Richie said as he sat back down onto the bed. Now everyone was looking at you. "It wants you, Y/N...." Beverly said with a hint of nervousness in her voice as she came up to you. You stared at the ground. You didn't want to be with a clown? Why was IT suddenly attracted to you?
Thoughts raced through your head.
"Why does it need me?" You looked back at the group.
Stanley was more scared than ever. Pacing around the room as Eddie watched him. Mike took a glimpse out the window before returning his gaze upon you.
"We don't know Y/N. But we promise we won't let that thing get to you." Mike said as he smiled faintly at you, Eddie piped up. "We won't let that thing hurt you." The whole group smiled. Except Stanley who was still frantically pacing up the room with his hands cupping his checks as he mumbled some things no one could hear. You looked up to them, returning the smile. "Thank you..."
