Bill's point of view
New Jersey is a lot different than Derry. Everyone here considers me a loser. They make fun of my stuttering. There is one guy named John who keeps bullying me.
I am preparing to go home. I see John and I started to walk faster. He grabbed me and punched me in my eye.
I went home. I knock at my door and mom answers.
" Billy, sweetheart, who hurt you?" she was shocked to see me like this.
" A g-guy fr-from sch-school na-named John." I cried. I miss Derry. I miss my friends and most of all, I miss Beverly.
" Yesterday you came home with a bruise on your arm. Today it was the eye. If we stay here longer, they are going to hurt you bad."
" It's okay." I say.
"No, honey. I will talk to your father. Is hurtful for you. Get some rest."
"Thanks".
The next day mom talked to dad to move back.
He saw me hurt and he agreed.
I am going to get my life back next week.

Beverly point of view
Richie and I are paddling at his home, where we should meet with the others. We rode on Bill's street. I saw a moving van and a car.
" Looks like Bill's parents sold the house, after all." I say in a sad tone.
" It is Bill." Richie yelled.
" Let's run to him." I replied.
We run to him and we pushed him to the ground accidentally. He is really here. I can feel his hair and his heart beating.
" I missed you too, guys." Bill laughed.
" Bill, what happened to your eye?" I asked.
" A g-guy f-from t-the school." He replied.
" My poor Billy. I am happy that you are back."
" Me too."
