After death

Beverly Marsh

Beverly slowly sat up.

"ouch." Beverly muttered. there was a clear mark around her neck.

"Bev!" Ben shouted, running over to help her up. she looked at him and knew. she hugged him tightly. Richie walked over and hugged her.

"so..." Bev ask looking around. "where's Eddie?" Bev ask.

"Richie made him cry and he just left." Stan said.

"Eddie?" Bev called.

"over here." Eddie mumbled quietly. he was in the hammock. Bev walked over and smiled at him, hugging him tightly.

"last time I saw you, you were bleeding to death in Richie's arms." Bev said. Eddie nodded slightly. he didn't really feel like talking. Richie looked over but Eddie wouldn't look at him.

"sorrys Eds." Richie mumbled quietly.

"don't call me Eds." Eddie hissed. Richie sighed and walked over.

"at least make room asshole." Richie hissed. Eddie shifted and Richie climbed in. Richie noticed Eddie's feet didn't smell in his face like they normally did. he didn't mind them as much now.

"the club house." Bev smiled looking around excitedly. "Stans not wearing his hair net." Bev added.

"no spiders here." Stan shrugged. Bev nodded slightly and looked around.

"wow every detail." Bev said, amazed.

"Georgie did a good job. he only forgot the hammock and comic books. but he fixed it." Stan smiled.

"it looks amazing." Bev smiled. she walked over to Georgie. "so little Georgie." Bev smiled, she hugged him tightly. "the boy who is the reason all us Losers are really together." Bev smiled. Georgie was more than happy to hug her.

"thanks. I'm glad to meet you and Ben.... but forgive me if I'm waiting for Billy." Georgie said. Bev nodded.

"I understand. 27+ years." Bev said. Georgie nodded. "but it's great to finally meet you, but I'm sorry it was only after you died." Bev added.

"I was dead the moment I stepped out with that boat." Georgie said softly. Bev nodded slightly.

"yeah. we figured that out... it just took a while." Bev said. "Bill never gave up though." Bev smiled. Billy nodded slightly.

"yeah I know. he couldn't." Georgie said.

"what do you-?" Bev started.

"dude! get your nasty ass foot out of my face! if I did that to you, you'd be screaming about how sick I was gonna get you!" Richie shouted.

"well I shower like two times a day! you shower two times a year." Eddie replied.

"you don't get dirty here guys." Georgie sighed.

"just ignore them. they did this while alive too. if Richie would just tell Eddie-" Ben started. he was cut off when a comic book nailed him in the side of the head. they turned and Richie was glaring at him.

"shut up." Richie hissed.

"what the hell's your problem Toizer?" Eddie huffed shoving him with his foot.

"shut up Eddie." Richie glared. Eddie huffed again and turned back to his comic book.

"what were you sayin Ben?" Georgie ask.

"not. a. word." Richie hissed. Ben sighed but nodded, not wanting to cause more aggression.

"sorry." Ben shrugged slightly. Georgie nodded.

"okay." Georgie nodded.

"so... what exactly do we do here?" Bev ask.

"what do you mean?" Georgie ask. "what do you usually do?" Georgie ask.

"well when we were kids we talked about school, summer...." Bev trailed. "and you." Bev added.

"mostly we just spent time down here talking about different things, but.... its weird without Bill." Stan said.

"yeah. it does feel weird. mostly because Eddie's not an ADHD little shit anymore and can finally sit in the fucking hammock with out squirming and dumping us out every five minutes." Richie huffed. Eddie glared at him and turned back to his comic. Richie shifted to read his own comic better, unconsciously rubbing whatever part of Eddie's leg was under the hand holding his coming book, a habit he'd picked up as a kid. Eddie didn't even seem to notice. Georgie looked confused though.

"so why is Richie always so angry?" Georgie ask.

"its a long story kid." Ben muttered.

"long story? but he's dead. it should be over." Georgie said.

"thats not really how it works." Bev said. "dead or not, thats just how Richie is." Bev added. Georgie nodded slightly, he paused and looked up.

"is it Billy?" Stan ask.

"it can't be. it's only been.... it hasn't been long enough.... unless.... he's been working on the books for a while... then.... maybe." Georgie said.

"how long has it been?" Ben ask.

"it's only been about two maybe three years since Bev... he's early if it is him." Georgie said. "but it could be nothing.... sometimes that happens." Georgie added. the door flew open and the last loser fell through landing on his back hard.
