Lia's Pov
Meanwhile, Beverly, Meg and I were quiet. I looked at Bev and her facial expression was scared. Hell, who wasn't? This was a nightmare and I hadn't forgotten what happened.,,Let's just get another drink.",Bill suggested, trying to change the subject and mood.,,Let him explain.",Ben meant and I thought that he was crazy. Didn't he listen to what Mike just said? It was back and I just wanted to leave. Liam was all alone in the hotel and I couldn't just walk out on my friends but I was so fucking scared about my son. I couldn't lose him too.,,That echo, we might have changed It, just like It changed us. But we didn't stop It. Because It just bounced back. We made an oath.",he explained and I tried to calm myself down. My heart was beating out of my chest, at least it felt like that. Fuck the oath! I didn't give a shit about it ever since I left. And now with Stan... This was all too much for me.,,That's why I brought you back. That's why you're here. To finish It. For good.",Mike went on. Was he insane? We barely made it out alive in the first place!,,Well that shit got dark fast. Thanks, Mike.",Richie meant, being his normal self. I heard Eddie opening one of the fortune cookies and he shook his head. What was that about?,,My fortune cokkie says "Could".",Eddie said. What? Just one word? And it didn't even make sense.,,They don't know how to do fortune cookies here. Mine just says "Guess".",Richie replied, showing us the paper. What the hell?,,You wanna throw that over here?",Bill asked, standing up. So all of them were one big sentence?,,What you got, Mike?",Bill inquired, as Mike handed the paper to him.,,Wait what?",Eddie breathed out and all the boys stood up, except for Mike to figure this out. Meg went to stand behind Bill and help him. Her and I were the only ones who hadn't had a cookie. I didn't really like them.,,This is what I'm talking about.",Mike meant.,,Guess. Cut. Not. Could. It.",Richie read out loud as Bill was trying to place them together.,,This is a message.",Mike tried to tell us but we were more focused on the fortune cookies.,,No,"Guess it could not cut".",Richie tried it again.,,Why would it guess it could not cut?",Eddie and Meg both asked at the same time. Well, we didn't know what it meant and Richie was just trying something out.,,Cut what?",I finally spoke up, still sitting. What was this about?,,Guess it could not cut. I don't know what it means.",Richie tried again and then Ben had an idea.,,It goes in the front. There.",he meant and placed the paper where it should be.,,It could not guess.",Eddie meant.,,No, where would the "cut" be in there?",I replied, looking at him.,,It couldn't guess.",Bill place the papers in that order, ignoring what I had just asked.,,Could it.... No, could it not cut.",Richie said. Something was off and I wasn't the only one who felt that way.,,When it says "It", is it talking about It?",Eddie inquired.,,Yeah, all right.",Bill answered as Eddie was already asking another question:,,Is that what it means?",,Is "It" It?",Meg suggested, looking at Bill.,,Where does this go?",Ben asked, pointing at one of the papers. I couldn't see which.,,That's what I'm talking about.",Mike now spoke.,,Guys, stop fighting and let Mike speak!",I tried but everyone was talking over one another, except for Bev. She had been quiet the whole time.
,,Beverly?",Bill asked and we all looked at her. A tear rolled down her cheek. What was going on?,,Bev?",I also asked, concern lazing my voice. She put the last missing piece on the table and everyone was shocked. I inhaled sharply. Yes, I had stood up when I said Beverly's name. The last paper said "Stanley" and my heart stopped. Oh my God... bill place the papers in the right order and now it said:"Guess Stanley Could Not Cut It" I knew what it meant because I knew what had happened. Tears were forming in my eyes and I had to grab a hold of the table or else I would've fallen. I felt like the world was spinning which was why I closed my eyes as everyone else tried to figure out what this message meant.,,Why does it say Stanley?",Eddie asked, panic in his voice.,,Someone else fucking answer me.",he shouted and I slowly opened my eyes again. This wasn't real. It coudln't know, could it? My breathing was ragged and I was just panicking on the inside. Then the table vibrated. I stood back up straight. What was that? The cookies started moving as well and one opened because something was trying to get out. Everyone took a step away from the table.,,What the fuck is that man?",Richie asked.
