Ben owns a architect company with his little sister now. When they left Darry they were eighteen and seventeen,they went to college and both got digress in architect and building.

2016:
It was late at night and the siblings were in there big open home. Beth sat at her desk with a pencil and a note book. She stared at the blank paper. She wasn't as smart as her brother but she still tried to come up with ideas especially if the people who worked on the company tried to change there ideas all the time.
  Beth sighs and slammed her head on the desk. Her head landed on the desk with boom and Their German Shepherd, Spike ran from under her desk when the noise hit his pointy ears.
"no ideas! Stupid. useless. empty. brain!" beth shouted as she hit her head on the desk after every word.
"Wow. Washed up at 39..so sad" Ben mocked her as he walked in. She sighed and turned around. "this just keeps getting harder and harder" she tells her brother.
"I know" he said while he slipped on a black jacket. "we have a video call with the company In ten minutes" he said. Beth nodded and he brought over his lab top.
  The two watch the company at the meeting listed to their new ideas.
"If we put walls all round here" one of them started to say but beth cut him off. "bad idea" everyone looked up at the screen that showed her and her brother. "with all due respect miss and Mr. Handsome" one of them said. "just Ben and beth. And please and all the respect to you... I think what my sister is trying to say is if you throw up more walls, it's going to feel like a prison" Ben said and beth butted in "you know what people want to do in prison? Get out" she said in the kindest way possible. "this should be place that brings people together. A meeting ground" she stopped and looked at her brother fiddling with his wallet. He stopped for a moment and then spoke up. "a clubhouse" he said "huh?" she asked quietly. She looked at her brother and his phone started to ring. "excuses us for a moment" he said. He picked up the phone. "hello?" "Ben it's Mike Hanlon from Darry"  "Mike?" Ben asked and beth looked up at her brother and gave him a questioning look. "is beth with you? "
"yeah she's here" he responded and looked up at his sister. "can you put it on speaker? I need to talk to the both of you" 
Ben pulled the phone away from his ear and sat it on the table so the both of them can hear and talk.
"hay Bee" she heard a familiar voice say. She sat back in her chair in shock and  She suddenly was out of breath. "M-mike? Mikey is it really you?" she asked knowing who it was. She remembered more than the others but never really acknowledged it because her brother never remembered their childhood. "guys it's back... Remember your promises" mike said. "I remember Mikey" beth whispered. "you both need to come home" he said. "yeah" she said looking at her brother. "will you both come?" Mike asked. "we will come" Ben said "bye Mikey" beth said shyly and they ended the call. Ben got up from the table and looked at his sister. "what do you remember?" she looked at him and shrugged. "I remember everything from our time in Darry but I never really acknowledged it because of the nightmare I have of home... I always thought it was my brain messing with me" she stopped and looked down "I remember Pennywise-"
"pennywise. That fucking clown" Ben cut her off.
"and I remember why we have the scars on our hands" she said.
"we leave for Darry tomorrow" Ben said walking off but his sister stopped him. "Benny I'm scared"
Ben looked at her and sighed. "I am too" he said and he walked over to her and pulled her in for a hug. "get some sleep. I'll finish the meeting, you just go to bed" he said
"okay. Good night" she said.
"night"
Beth laid in bed think about Darry and pennywise. She drifted off to sleep not knowing of the nightmares that a waited her.
