THE LOSERS ARRIVED just in time to catch Bill before he went into the house. The others abandoned their bikes and raced after him, getting chills from just looking at the scary house.
"Bill! You can't go in there! This is crazy!"Beverly exclaimed, approaching the boy.
"Look, you don't have to come in with me. But what happens when another Georgie goes missing? Or another Betty? Or another Ed Corcoran? Or one of us?" He paused, standing confidently on the first step. "Are you just gonna pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home, and all I see is that Georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toy, his stupid stuffed animals, but... he isn't. Do walking into this house, for me, it's easier than walking into my own."
Everyone stood speechless. Sam was caught off Faust's, but a small smile crept onto her face, proud of Bill.
"Wow."Richie murmured, shaking his head.
"What?"
"He didn't stutter once."
As Bill made is way closer to the Front door, the other started to follow.
"Wait!"Everyone turned to look at Stan. "Um, Shouldn't we have some people keep watch? You know, just in case something bad happens?" Stan asked, looking around at everyone.
"Who w-w-wants to stay out here?"Bill asked. Everyone's hand went up except Bill's, Beverly's and Sam's. Sam nudged Richie, giving him a look that made him widen his eyes before looking at Bill.
"Fuck."
They drew straws, Eddie, Richie and Sam drawing the shorts ones as Bill just wanted to go in. Bill pushed the door, flying open and slamming the wall. It was dark and cold in the house, Sam shivered, pulling her leather jacket closer to her body.
"I can't believe I pulled the shirt straw."Richie sighed, shaking as he looked around. "You guys are lucky you're not measuring dicks."
"Shut up, Richie."Sam snapped at him, making him quiet. They slowly crept in deeper into the house. A disgusting smell, taking up their nostrils. Sam gagged, hiding her nose in her jacket.
"I can smell it."Eddie gagged.
"Don't breathe through you mouth."
"How come?"
"Because then you're eating it."Richie answered, making Eddie gag even more. He unzipped his Fanny pack, pulling out his inhaler and inhaling sharply. Sam gave him a pat on the back, moving around him to walk forward and observe her surroundings.
