It's been 27 years... and IT's back again to haunt us, to try to get the only people who have been able to defeat him, the Losers Club . But he should know one thing about us Losers...
We don't give up that easily.
We all started to get out of the clubhouse and Eddie motioned for me to go and I smiled and stated "no no, ladies first." He smiled and started heading up "Thanks-HEY WAIT A MINUTE, FUCK YOU Y/N." I started laughing as I followed after, he grumbled "ladies first my ass" as he helped me up. After he helped me up he turned to Mike and took off his shower head "Okay, Mike, so where do we find our tokens?" Richie nodded and stated "Yeah, I gotta be honest man. All due respect this is fucking stupid, all right? Why do we need tokens? All right? We already remember everything. Saving Bev' defeating IT. I mean, we're all caught up." "Are we though?" I thought out loud and Richie turned to me "What do you mean?" He asked and I sighed as I got up from the ground, "I mean come on Richie, sure, we remembered some of the important things but do you really remember everything? Even the things that may seem small but still meant a lot?" Richie looked at me like I grew three heads, but Mike helped me explain. "It's not everything. We fought, but what happened after that?" Ben stared at Mike as he started to grow distraught "Before the house on Neibolt. Think" Mike pointed out and that seemed to throw everybody off, Richie opened his mouth for a second, before clamping shut like it never even moved. "W-we can't remember, can we?" Bill asked as we all shook our heads in unison "See, there's more to our story. What happened that summer. And those blank spaces, like pages torn out of a book. That's what you need to find. We need to split up" "Famous last words" I muttered as the rest of the Losers started to get up "You each need to find your artifact. Alone, that's important." Eddie scoffed as Richie closed his eyes, looking like he regretted every choice that led him up to this moment, "When you do, meet me at the library tonight." Eddie smiled nervously and said hysterically "Yeah, I gotta say, statistically speaking, you look at survival scenarios, we're gonna do much better as a group." "Yeah dude ever seen a horror movie?" I asked sarcastically as Richie continued " Yeah, splitting would be dumb, man. Okay, we gotta go together. All right? We were together that summer, right?" Eddie pointed at Richie and nodded his head before another voice broke apart the argument "No. Not that w-whole summer." I sighed as I hugged myself, remembering that terrible day.
"Take it back" Bill roared as he punched Richie in the face, "Bill!" Beverly yelled as I ran to help Richie up, my leg searing in pain due to my actions. "You're just a bunch of losers!" Richie roared as he tried to attack Bill, but Mike and Stan held him back while Ben held Bill back. "Fuck off!" Richie screamed as we all started to form a tight circle around each other as we all struggled to separate the two boys from fighting anymore. As they got closer Beverly finally had enough "STOP!" She screamed, her voice echoing around the street as we all froze. Richie shoved Mike off as Beverly continued "We were all together when we hurt it. That's why we're still alive." Richie scoffed as he pushed his glasses on "Yeah? Well, I plan to keep it that way. Come on Y/N you need to be taken to the hospital." I nodded in agreement as I looked at my leg, I limped over to him and got on his bike as I turned to Bev, a tear went down her face but she gave me a weak smile as I gave one back.
I ran to Richie's house as my leg protested in pain, but I could not go back to my house to my mother, not now. Richie opened the door and smirked at me "Oh couldn't keep away from me i se- wait what happened to your head" He said as he looked at me, i felt tears start to rise and i saw Richie's eyes widen in realization, "It was your mom, wasn't it?" I nodded, a tear coming out and sliding down my cheek, he brought me inside and shut the door.
He told me to sit down and ran to go get bandages, when he came back he said "You can stay here if you want, o-oh only if you want to i didn't mean like tha-" I cut off his stuttering by laughing and saying "You sound like Bill, and what about your parents?" He didn't look up, his eyes fixed on my head as he bandaged it as he said "Eh there never home" I looked at him sadly and said "Well then i would love to stay, i don't want to go back, not yet" He nodded and smiled at me "Okay i'll go get blankets, we can sleep down here" I nodded as he went away for a bit before coming back with a bunch of blankets. He started building what looks like a fort and said in a british accent "There milady, a lovely palace for a lovel-" I cut him off by kissing him. His eyes widened but he didn't back away, we kissed for what seemed like a lifetime but was actually only a few minutes. When we both stepped back he had a dreamy gaze "Why did you kiss me, not- not that i didn't like it" He stammered and i giggled " I thought that you deserved it, and i love you trashmouth" I said and after a second i realized what i said and my eyes widened " I don't mean like love lo-" Now i was cut off by him kissing me, he backed away and said "I love you too Y/N."
As we all split up Richie came up to me and he looked scared "You alright Richie?" I asked, concern lacing my voice as he did not do anything for a moment before attacking me into a hug, "Oh, okay" I wheezed as the hug was tight, I returned it and he let go after a minute "Be careful, please, we already lost Stan, I don't want to lose you just because we split up." Richie said, his voice shaking a bit and I gave him a warm smile "Richie, I'll be okay I promise, you'll see me in just a couple of minutes, I swear." My smile turned into a smirk as I held my pinkie up, he groaned as he tried to suppress a smile "God you're such a child." He said and I laughed "Yeah sure, and you're so mature." He laughed as he linked my pinkie with his, I gave him one last smile and kissed him on the cheek, before walking off, knowing exactly where I would find my token.
My house.
My face paled as I walked towards the door, my house was abandoned, after the police figured out what my mom had done to me they locked her away, I remembered that day like it was yesterday.
I laughed at Richie's terrible Australian accent "Oh god make it stop" I pleaded as I tried to hold in my laughter, Richie's eyes lit up as he gave me one of his famous smirks "Oi, I think I sound amazing, crikey is that a gator?!" (I do not mean to offend anyone, I just think this is something Richie would do, please do not be offended cause that is not what I am trying to do, thank you!) I pushed him playfully as we continued walking to my house, we just got ice cream but Richie ran into a shop before then and would not tell me what he got, despite my constant pleading. As we neared the door I smiled at Richie, "Well this is were I leave you." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and as I reached for the knob he grabbed my wrist, "Wait one second, I got something for you." I stopped and looked at him surprised "Really?" He nodded as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black bag "This is what I was getting before we got ice cream, I hope you like it." He said as he looked down "Wow, for the first time in his life Richie Tozier seems shy" I teased and he rolled his eyes "Shut up and open the bag" He mumbled and I giggled as I pulled the strings open and I gasped as I pulled out the gift. It was a necklace. The necklace was a silver chain with a crescent moon and the night sky. Tears filled my eyes as I stared at the necklace, Richie started to panic as he stuttered "O-oh no I knew you weren't going to like it, god I'm such a-" I interrupted his rant as I threw my arms around him, he stumbled back and said softly "Oh, so you do like it then." I laughed as I tried to wipe my tears away "This is the best gift I have ever gotten me. Thank you." I sniffed as he smiled, "Of course, I love you Y/N." I felt my heart beat faster as I gave him the biggest smile and kissed him, I let go and he mumbled "We should kiss more, we've only done it twice." I laughed and said "Alright dummy, will do, I'll see you tomorrow Richie." "Bye" He yelled as he ran home, I smiled softly as I looked back at the necklace, and headed inside.
