I walked down the main street until I reached the Arcade the outside was all rundown I put my hand through a hole in the front door and pushed down on the bar to open the door, I remember spending lots of my spare time here the place was always full of laughter but now it was dark, damp and derelict. I walked over to the game token machine and pushed the button, a shiny silver token fell into the palm of my hand I looked at it and turned around and looked up at the Street fighter game console, and instantly I had a flashback of memory I rather hoped I'd have forgotten.
(Flashback)
( R: = Richie and C: = Conner Bowers and H: = Henry Bowers)
R: Yes
C: Your really good, that was a great game. Anyway I have to go
R: Hey do you want to play again, only if you want to.
C: Dude why are you being weird I'm not your Boyfriend
R: I didn't mean it like that
H: What the hells going on here
C: You idiots didn't tell me that this town was full of F*cking fairies
H: Richie F*cking Tozier wait are you trying to kiss my little cousin
R: No
H: Get the F*ck out here Faggot....MOVE IT!
(Richie turned on his heels and ran out of the arcade and down the main street, he stopped on the corner to catch his breath. Stopping wasn't a wise move because straight away he heard Henry and his friends shouting at him and running down the street towards him, Richie took a final deep breath before running towards the park but Henry and his friends caught up to him quickly and grabbed him roughly by the collar of his shirt.
Henry pushed Richie to the floor and kicked him continuously in the stomach and once in the face, before pulling Richie right up into his face and saying 'People like you don't belong in Derry, your a freak and no matter you always will be'. Henry threw Richie down the steep muddy hill until he lay on the canal path below.
It was late when Richie finally felt able to make his way home, every step was agony for Richie. He walked up the steps to his front door and walked in his Mom was passed out on the small sofa in the corner, his dad staggered in from the kitchen with a Beer bottle in his hand he looked at Richie and said 'Your such a waste of space Richie, nobody will ever love you', Richie stepped round his dad and made for the stairs but his dad tripped him up sending him falling to the floor and hitting his head on the second step from the bottom.
Richie ran upstairs to his room and locked the door in a wave of anger he pushed everything off his desk, he turned around and stepped forwards the sound of glass cracking. He stepped back and looked down at floor and saw his favourite picture of himself and Eddie at the quarry, he reached down and picked it up before walking round and sitting on the edge of his bed he opened his bedside table and pulled out a box which he opened and pulled out a small razor, he sat back against his headboard and put the picture of him and Eddie on his lap and said 'Forgive me Eddie'. Richie placed the razor against the skin on his right arm and quickly cut his right arm to shreds.
