Richie x Reader IT Chapter Two

Chapter 3

The mood dimmed as I tapped my finger against my glass "Stan.." I mumbled and the others followed mumbling Stan's name, as if it were foreign to them. Richie looked lost as he said Stan's name "Stan.. Stan Uris, Stan Urine" I gave a weak chuckle at the nickname, but now it felt as if there was a heavy weight on me how could I forget about Stan?  Richie tried to break the silence as he let out a nervous chuckle "Why would Stan show? He's a fucking pussy!" And Eddie decided to join in "Yeah why would Stan save you anyway, was I not the one who basically performed surgery on you?" "After Bowers cut you up holy shit that's right!" Eddie gasped as his eyes widened, I was surprised also, at the fact that I hardly recalled this memory before Eddie said this. 

The tension seemed to ease though as Beverly looked at Eddie curiously " Please tell me you ended up becoming a doctor Ed's?" Eddie shook his head as he cleaned his hands with a napkin "No, uh I ended up becoming a risk analyst." We all gave him confused looks before I blurted out "What the fuck is that?" Eddie rolled his eyes and I smiled Oh how I missed roll eyeing Eddie. Richie decided to join in on the fun as he said sarcastically "Oh, that sounds really interesting, what does that entail?" Eddie tried explaining it before he was interrupted by a loud snore, we all turned to Richie who was fake sleeping and I let out a laugh and all of the Losers except for Eddie joined in. "Fuck you dude, Fuck you" Eddie growled and I let out another loud laugh as Richie's fist pounded the table as he asked "Was this job invented before fun?" Me and the rest of the group held giant smiles as we tried to keep our laughter in while Eddie said "That's so not funny." "It is funny!" Richie exclaimed as Ben let out a little chuckle, but Eddie noticed as he targeted his glare towards Ben as he asked "What the fuck are you laughing at?!" At this point I was slamming my hands on the table and laughing so hard my ribs hurt as Eddie glared at me "Fuck you to!" Eddie said to me and I laughed harder as Beverly raised her beer bottle and said "I propose a toast, to the losers." We all clinked our glasses as we all smiled at each other.

We all messed around and ate our food as the waitress brought back some fortune cookies "fuck yessss." I exclaimed as I stared at the cookies hungrily and Richie smiled at me as he said "Oh yeah." We all started grabbing some as we thanked the waitress. As I went to open one I saw Beverly excitedly telling Bill something as Ben stared at the both of them Oh yeah the love triangle is back y'all, lets goooo I smirked at them as I  nudged Richie, he looked at me and I gestured to the three and his smiled widened and he whispered to me "It's happening again!" I nodded excitedly before I realized something, and my smile dropped. Richie looked at me concerned and I answered the unasked question " It's just weird you know, hours ago I wouldn't have been able to recall any of these memories, some of them I don't even remember forgetting, isn't that strange?" Richie looked at me seriously, something he hardly ever does and he mumbled "yeah..." I let out a shaky breath and Richie grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, I looked up and gave him a weak smile as Ben started to talk "I mean it's weird right? Now that we're all here, everything just comes back faster and faster, I mean all of it." I nodded and looked down again as Beverly said yeah. "Yeah, you know when Mike called me I threw up" Richie said "Like it was weird, I got nervous you know?" I nodded, though I didn't throw up, when Mike called me I felt as if I was going to my death, like I was in line waiting to be executed, and there was nothing I could do about it.  Richie let out a weak laugh as he said reassuringly " I feel fine now, I feel very relieved to be here with you guys. Why is everybody looking at me like this?" I sighed as I felt as if I should speak up "Mike, when you called me, I almost dropped my phone, I was terrified before you even said anything. I mean, it just felt like when I answered I was digging my own grave, I don't know why" I mumbled and everyone looked concerned, but they looked like they knew how I felt, and I believed it. "When Mike called me I crashed my car" Eddie blurted out and my eyes widened as did everyone else's as they said things like shit man, I asked if he was okay while Mike looked deep in thought. 

"Yeah I hear you, I mean my heart was literally like pounding right out of my chest." Ben said and Beverly looked shocked "I thought it was only me." Bill sighed and said "It was like pure f-f" he started stuttering as Mike finished his sentence "Fear." "It's fear, what you felt." "Why did we all feel that Mike?" Bill asked and I nodded as Mike looked down "You remember something we don't, don't you Mike?" Bill asked and Mike let out a shaky breath as he looked at us again " Something happens to you when you leave this town. The farther away the hazier it all gets. But me, I never left. So, yeah I remember, I remember all of it." My breath quickened as images flashed through my mind, us running, fear clearly shown on our faces as we ran from the creature that haunted me but I could never get a clear picture of, until now. "Pennywise" Beverly breathed and Eddie let out a sigh as he said "Oh, the fucking clown." "Oh shit" I gasped as I tried to control my breathing while Bill turned to Mike "Mike you said you wanted our help with something, what was that?" "There's an echo here in Derry, that bounces back every 27 years." Eddie started to argue before Mike told him to listen " We thought we stopped it back then, we thought it was done but..." He started to frantically flip through his journal as Richie sighed "Mike..." "A week ago, a man, Adrian Mellon, slaughtered, A girl, Lisa Albrecht went missing." He kept on going as we kept trying to tell him to stop, I was tapping my fingers against my leg as I tried to take in deep breaths. I didn't want to hear this, it was becoming to much, but he kept going "Let him explain, let him explain" Ben said calmly, I wanted to say no and leave, but a small part of me made me stay sitting, and wanting to know what else has happened ever since I left Derry. "That echo, we might have changed it, just like it changed us.But we didn't stop it, because it just bounced back. We made an oath. That's why I brought you here, that why you are here. To finish IT, for good." 

His words seemed to leave a never ending echo in the room as we all looked at each other, I felt the place where Bill cut my hand for the oath as Richie sighed "Well that shit got dark fast." Eddie hastily opened his fortune cookie before shaking his head "My fortune cookie says could" I felt the pit in my stomach get bigger as I quickly grabbed a cookie and tore it open "Mine says guess" I said, I felt as if this wasn't just a mistype, Bill looked at us and then the cookies before asking for the pieces of paper, Mike opened his as Bill was arranging ours and I quickly saw it said cut. Bill started to rearrange other pieces of paper as we all argued on what the sentence could be as Bill kept putting pieces in front of the other. "Did you do this Mike" Richie asked and a new argument started as I kept quiet, staring at the pieces as Bill put them back and forth. I heard a sniffle and I looked at Beverly just as a tear fell down, "Beverly what's wrong" I whispered and she handed me her piece of paper, my eyes widened as I saw what was written I yelled "Guys, look" I whimpered as I handed it to them and there eyes widened as they saw the final piece. Bill shakily sighed and rearranged the pieces once more as it all came together, when it was finished I let out a strangled cry as tears fell down my face. 

GUESS STANLEY COULD NOT CUT IT
