"NOOOOOOO!!" Bev cried.

"EDDIE!!!!!!" Richie was frozen.

"R-Richie...Richie.."

He was pulled away by Pennywise. He threw him across the room.

"EDDIE!!!!!" Richie cried, getting up and running to him. Along with everyone else, "E-Ed's...."

"R-Richie." Blood poured out of his chest.

"NO!!!" Richie held onto him, "Eddie...."

"Rich."

"Y-you're gonna be okay..you're gonna be o-
He started to break down.

"Richie we gotta move him somewhere else. Cmon."

Eddie struggled as they picked him up, Pennywise trying to get at them. "Y-you guys can do this." Eddie said as they sat him down.

"I'm not leaving your side." Richie knelt down and put his hand on his wound. Eddie put his hands over his.

"W-we're stronger then him..I-I'm not afraid anymore. Remember that, you can do this."

"E-Eddie." Stan hugged him, "you're okay bud, y-you're okay."

The five then started running to the other side of the cave; with Pennywise spotting them.

"GOT YA!" He laughed looking over all of them.

"We're not afraid anymore." Stan said.

They started to bully him.

"Y-you're gonna be o-okay E-Ed's." He sobbed.

"S-shut up, you sound like Bill." He smiled sadly.

Richie hugged him, "tell me...t-tell me you're g-gonna be okay. P-please Eddie, I cant lose you.."

"R-Richie.... you know how this ends."

"I'm not letting it. This is not happening." He sobbed.

"I love you Rich."

"No. D-don't you do that. Don't say goodbye, this isn't goodbye.."

Eddie cried, "say it Richie."

Richie sobbed harder, "n-no.." His voice cracked.

"say it.."

"I- I love you Eddie.." He broke down and held his boyfriend tighter, "don't leave me..please.."

Richie heard the losers bullying Pennywise, and noticed that he was smaller.

He felt anger inside him, and he looked Eddie in the eyes. "Don't leave."

Richie ran to the losers and ripped pennywises arm off.

"Clown. Clown. Clown." They all repeated.

Mike reached for his heart.
