"Why does it say Stanley?" Eddie asked though he knew none of us could answer, none of our eyes left the paper for a minute, it didn't seem real, as if they were just gonna disappear, but they didn't. "Someone else fucking answer me!" Eddie yelled but we all kept silent, he looked to Mike but he sighed and shook his head, as he was about to say something the fortune cookies started shaking. We all jumped back as one fell out of the plate and onto the table "What the..." I mumbled before Beverly let out a yell as it started to open on its own, as it came out it was a bug with a baby's head (When I saw this part I have never been more confused or disgusted in my life), it let out a cry and I yelled "WHAT THE FUCK MAN!" It's cries started to sound more demonic as it crawled towards Mike, he started walking back as two more fortune cookies jumped out of the plate and started to open, an eyeball fell out of the second one and Richie yelled "HEY HEY" as it started going towards hum, never tearing it's gaze away as Eddie grabbed Ben and yelled "I don't wanna be here" multiple times. The last cookie just had a bat wing poking out of it and started attacking everyone as black ooze poured out of the rest of the cookies. I screamed as the flying cookie came towards me and smacked it away as the eye got closer to Richie. Mike turned to the aquariam and let out a yelp as he saw severed heads floating in there "What the fuck is this?" I yelled as I backed away from the tank and back closer to Richie. Bill backed up towards the tank and before I could warn him he looked at the heads "WOAH FUCK!" and ran the other way as Mike glared at the scene before him and said "It's not real!" He grabbed a chair and started smashing the bug baby as we all went towards the walls and watched as Mike destroyed the table. Mike repeated It's not real as the waitress came and looked at the mess before her "Is everything alright?" She asked with concern and I gave her the biggest smile I could muster and said "yes thank you" while Richie nodded and said "yeah can we get the check?", she nodded and walked away as we looked back at the table to see the demon cookies gone. 

As we walked out Eddie tried to make sense of the situation "That's what Pennywise does right? He fucks with us, so, Stanley's probably fine." Though he seemed sure I felt as if he didn't 100% believe himself, more so as if he's trying to reassure himself. " Hey Mike, do you have Stan's number?" "Yeah" he mumbled and went to give it to her before we heard a boy's voice behind us "Hey Richie" we all turn to see a kid looking at Richie and smiling as Richie looked at him confused as he asked "How'd you... How'd you know my name?" The kid smiled and said "The fun's just beginning, right?" Richie's eyes widened before they settle into a glare as he went up to the kid and yelled "You think this is funny?! Think this is some sort of game right?! Well fuck you, FUCK YOU!" "Rich be careful dude" Bill said as the kid looked scared as he said quickly "The fun is just beginning, the line from your show dude, I'm a fan." Though we were just attacked by demon cookies I couldn't help but let out a snort as Richie's eyes widened "Are those your parents?" "Yeah" The kid said and I laughed and whispered to Richie "Oh you're so fucked" he nodded and said "You want a picture?" I let out another laugh as the kid said "I think i'm good" before walking off with his parents "Okay cool he's a cool kid" Richie said and I slapped his arm "Great job idiot, that poor kid thinks his idol is fucking insane now" as we walked out Ben sighed "Jesus Richie you don't remember a line from your own show?" and Richie rolled his eyes "I don't write my own material" as I walked out the door I hear Eddie yell "I FUCKING KNEW IT I FUCKING KNEW IT"

We stood outside waiting as Beverly called the Uris's house "Hello Mrs.Uris. My name is Beverly Marsh, I apologize for calling but i'm an old friend of your husbands." As she kept talking Eddie decided to talk (argue) to Mike "You lied to us, and that is not okay." Richie nodded as he said "Yeah, first words out of your mouth should have been like "Hey man you want come to Derry and get murdered? Cause then I would have said no" though I felt bad for Mike I couldn't help but agree "Yeah Mike, I'm sorry but I still have a job and stuff, and your argument isn't really selling after the whole demon cookies." As Richie kept arguing Ben called us over as Bev kept talking with Mrs. Uris, Beverly put the phone on speaker as I heard Mrs. Uris sniffle "I'm sorry but, he passed." I choked on a sob No, please god no  "How he died, it was horrible, his wrists... he cut them-" "In the bathtub" Beverly finished and Mrs. Uris said she had to go and hung up the phone, tears started to fall down my face as I sobbed. "Stanley" Eddie said as he threw his arms up, Beverly pulled out a cigarette as Eddie kept going "Pennywise knew, he knew before we did." "The goddamm bastard" I said, my words dripping with venom as I thought of the stupid clown. "We have to stop him. I have a plan" Mike began but we had enough, "I have a plan, getting the fuck out of dodge, before this ends worse than one of Bill's books" Richie said and I shook my head "Low blow dude" "Who's with me" Richie asked and Eddie raised his hand as Bill walked over to some cars to think. Mike looked at Richie and Eddie incredulously "We made a promise to each other,-" "let's unmake the promise" Richie said and Ben looked at Richie "Richie other people are gonna die." But Richie wasn't done yet, he gestured with his hands as he exclaimed "Other people die every day man! We don't owe this town shit! Plus I just remembered I grew up here like two hours ago! So i'm fucking leaving this! Fuck this" Richie gave me a hug and whispered "at the inn i'll give you my number so we can stay in touch, bye Y/N" I nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek, he gave a weak smile as he started heading towards his car while Eddie waved to Mike "I'm sorry man, I'm with Richie on this one." And he started heading towards the cars to as Mike pleaded "Eds please" Eddie looked at him like he grew three heads "What? We stay we die, that's it? I'm gonna go back to the Inn, I'm gonna pack up my shit and i'm gonna drive to my home. I'm sorry man good luck." He kept walking to the cars as Mike pleaded for him to come back. I looked at the ground, tears coming to my eyes, I can't do this again, Stan's dead, I can't go through all this shit again these thought swirled around my mind as Mike came up to me "Mike please don't" I begged and he looked at me "Please Y/N, i can't do this without you guys we made a promi-" "A promise we made cause we thought we never would have to go through this again Mike! We were just kids, and now Stan's dead and I don't know if i can go through this horror show again, I'm gonna go home Mike, you can visit anytime but I'm going home, I can't do this again" I said, tears forming in my eyes again as I walked toward my car. As i closed the door I finally let the tears fall, I rested my head against the steering wheel before starting the engine and heading towards the inn.

I can't do this again...
