Third person POV;
Stanley stopped at the bottom of Lydia's driveway and got off his bike. It was around 8am and Stan was coming around to Lydia's for breakfast like he had every day the past week. He began the walk up the driveway and like Lydia the night before had a huge smile on his face, the girl he had liked for years liked him back and was his girlfriend.
However, Stan's smile immediately dropped as he arrived at the front door which was open. His smile was replaced with a look of confusion as he hesitantly pushed the door open "Lyds?!" Stan called out, hoping she had just did it by mistake. Stan's eyes fell onto the flower he had given Lydia the night before laying in the middle of the floor and he instantly knew something was wrong.
He hesitantly went over and picked up the flower, setting it on a set of drawers before slowly walking up the stairs. Once he made it to the top of the stairs he stood for a moment, the silence of the house was putting Stan on edge as it was usually filled with the two laughing about something stupid.
Just as Stan went to take a step further the sound of a knock at the front door, which he had now closed, made him jump and quickly turn around. As the knocking got louder Stan ran to the bottom of the stairs, trying to hide behind the wall and see who it was "Lyds! I know you're here, let me in its cold!" the familiar voice of Beverly Marsh shouted through the door, causing Stan to let out a sigh of relief and walk up to the door.
"finally what the hell-" Beverly began but was cut off as Stan put his index finger over his mouth and pulled her in the house "is she still sleeping?" Bev whispered, looking around the kitchen in confusion. It was rare for Lydia to sleep in when Stan was coming around as she liked cooking breakfast
"somethings wrong, her front door was open, the flower I gave her was on the floor as if she dropped it and the house is way too quiet" Stan whispered back. Beverly's face dropped as she stayed silent, noticing how quiet it really was.
Without a second thought Beverly ran to the stairs "Bev wait it could be dangerous!" Stan whisper shouted, letting out a groan after as Bev ignored him and he followed her up. When Stan made it to the top he heard a gasp come from Beverly as she entered Lydia's room, Stan ran in after her, following where her eyes were set. Written on Lydia's wall in what looked to be blood were the words "you die if you try"
Beverly stared in horror at the writing, her hand over mouth as Stan looked around Lydia's room for any kind of hint, he wasn't sure what he was looking for but he couldn't think straight. "Is that blood?" Beverly shakily questioned, not taking her eyes off it. Stan walked up beside her again and shook his head "I don't know and I'm not sure I want to, go look around the house okay?" Stan responded, leaving the room to check Lydia's mom's room. Beverly soon following after.
