Bev's Pov
Richie and Bill just had a fight. Everyone decided to leave and try to survive on their own. Only Meg, Bill and I were still here. This was so messed up. Why was It after us? What was It's plan? I shook my head.,,You a-alright?",Bill asked me as him and I were on our way back home.,,Yeah, I was just thinking about what happened. This is exactly what It wanted.",I replied, looking at him. It got what it wanted by us dividing. This could never end well.,,W-we'll figure this out. Meg, y-you and I are s-still doing this. We k-know where I-i-it is now.",Bill stuttered. I nodded. He was right. As long as we were careful and still together, we could do this.,,Maybe we can persuade them. If we can show them a plan to defeat It..",I suggested, and stopped walking because we had arrived at my home.,,I don't think, that t-they come back. We should j-just stop. M-maybe we can't s-stop It.",Bill meant, looking at me. I let my bike fall to the ground, turning around.,,What? Bill, we're the only ones who coud do something. We have to take that chance.",I replied, furrowing my brows.,,L-let's talk about it tomorrow. I s-should go home.",Bill said, making me sigh. I nodded a little.,,Ok. But don't do anything stupid.",I told him with a small grin. Bill nodded, hugging me quickly before cycling home. I watched after him for a moment before deciding to head up the fire escape.

When I stood in front of the apartment door. I unlocked it, entering my home. Dad didn't seem to be here yet which was good. I needed some time of my own to think about a few things. Well, a lot of things actually. I closed the door behind me and headed straight for my room where I let myself fall on the bed. Today had just been crazy. We figure things out, Eddie and Lia were almost killed and Ben was hurt by It. Then, of course, things got worse as we all split up. I understood Richie and the others. They were afraid, we all were. But leaving now and not daring to look back would make things even worse. I sighed, closing my eyes for a moment.,,Fuck..",I breathed out. This was not how this was supposed to end...

a few hours later
I was walking out of my room, putting my left hand on the wall and letting it slide over it as I was going through the hall. My father had been home and was sitting at the dining table. I didn't know how long he had been here already but something was up. Normally, he would have asked if I was here some time ago.

,,Today is her birthday.",he said, pausing a little. I was just standing there, watching him. All he did, was sit there, holding an old scarf of my mother in his hand and looking at something. Maybe a picture of her.,,It still smells like her perfume. And she'd still be here if it wasn't for you.",he continued, peering over his shoulder.,,Mom was sick. You know that's why she could what she did.",I meant, confused and with a slightly shaky voice.,,She did what she did because she was embarrassed to be your mother.",Dad raised his voice, turning around to look at me. I was fidgeting with my hands, not daring to look at him.,,You look like her, but you are nothing like her her.",he meant. My eyes wandered to the ground, filling with tears. But my father told me to come over which I did because I was afraid of the consequences if I hadn't done it...

Later that day, I was sitting in my room, smoking a cigarette and writing something in a note book. A little note for myself, almost like a diary. I was mumbling what I was writing in there:

,,Recap of today: It knew what to do to get to us. We divided after getting attacked by It. Twice. Dad was weird as usual and mean. I forgot Mom's birthday which I would never forgive myself. Bill didn't want to stop It anymore...

I don't know what to do. But maybe Meg and I could talk with him. Understand what he wanted. I knew that it was hard for him with Georgie and his friends leaving. We can't stay divided or else It would win. I couldn't let that happen. I needed to figure something out..."

The next day

Bill's Pov
I had been out for a few hours. No one knew where I was and I wanted it to stay that way. However, I was already on my way back home. Did I care about getting home fast? No, I didn't and I had taken a detour. Why? Because I with that, Meg couldn't find me. I wanted answers which was another reason for taking the detour. Answers only I could get by doing this alone. And no, I was not on my way to Neibolt. Not after what happened. Well, not today or alone at least. No, I was on my way to the last place, where Georgie had been. The sewer.

Once I got there which wasn't had because it happened close to where I lived, I looked around. No one was near me or was looking out of their windows. I was alone. Good. I got off of my bike and let it fall to the ground. This was it. Maybe I could get the answers, I had been looking for ever since Georgie went missing. I got on my knees, peering into the sewer.,,I know you're down there. I know you c-can hear me.",I started, getting a little closer.,,There's something I have to know. All of the kids in this town you could've taken, why G-georgie?",I asked, stuttering. There was no answer. All I could see was the darkness in the sewer.,,S-say something!",I called out, getting angry and frustrated.,,Why him? Why him? Why him?",I inquired, getting louder. My hands were balled into fists and I had to take a deep breath. My head was on the ground as I was punching the concrete. Nothing happened which was why I stood up, wiping my eyes. Those were angry tears I wiped away. I was walking towards my bike when I heard:,,Why?" I turned around, looking at the sewer.,,Because you weren't there, Billy.",It continued, laughing like a maniac at the end. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was panting. Without hesitation, I turned around, grabbed my bike and made my way home. Yes, I had wanted answers but not one which made me blame myself even more....

Eddie's Pov
A few days had gone by since the incident at Neibolt. I wasn't allowed to be with my friends anymore which I totally agreed to. They were getting everyone of us in danger and Lia and I could've died. My arm was in a cast because of It. Just the thought of that clown made me want to puke my guts out.

Anyways, I was at the pharmacy to get my inhaler not for the penis thing..",I.,,You came here for your stinky breath pills?",Gretta asked, sitting on a chair with a magazine in her hands. She was the pharmacist's daughter.,,My breath is... Is fine.",I replied, looking at her. This was always weird. Whenever she was here, I was a stuttering mess.,,Not what my Dad said. He said you have a tumor.",she said, grabbing my bag and placing it in front of me. A tumor? What?,,On your dick.",Gretta added and I knew that she was messing with me. I laughed a little.,,You don't take pills for.. Wait, what did your Dad say?",I inquired, furrowing my brows.,,There you go. Hope your dick feels better.",Gretta meant, ignoring my question.,,Thank you.",I replied, with the bag in my hand. I turned around, ready to leave. But before that, I said:,,For the inhaler. Not for the penis thing.."

Suddenly, I head someone calling my name. It was my mother's voice. This wasn't real, she couldn't be here. I took anther step forward, just wanting to leave when I heard:,,Eddybear." Only my mother called me that. Confusion and curiousity came over me and I followed the voice. Yes, I knew that this was a bad idea but I needed to know why my mother was here. And this ended badly, believe me. You didn't want to know the rest of the story....
