I was strolling down my neighborhood when I got a call.
"Hello?" I questioned
"Is this Emma Jackson" the familiar voice asked me.
"This is Mike Hanlon, from Derry"
I felt a lump in my throat. I slowly removed the phone from my face. "Richie" I said in a whisper to myself. I hadn't said or remember that name for 20 years.
"Yes, Mike, how are you?"
"IT's back"
I dropped my phone out of my hand, it cracking as it hit the ground.
"When do I need-"
"Tomorrow we don't have much time" Mike said cutting me off.
~~~
I was beyond nervous, but a little excited to see everyone.
I ran home and got my things I need and got in a taxi.
I hadn't married or even truly got in a relationship after Richie. We broke up when we were in our 20s. Richie went on to big and better things like comedy, and I went to explore the world. I never stopped loving him, but I had to admit, I did start to lose memory of him.
Time Skip
I arrived in Derry and checked into a bed and breakfast, it was almost vacant it seemed. I unpacked a few things and made myself comfortable.
I was a wreck thinking about how I would see everyone, how I would see him.
What if Richie got married and forgot about me? what if when I got there he would pretend like we didn't spend a good chunk of our life together? or worse what if he didn't even remember me, the way I did him.
I let my thoughts take me into a deep slumber to be awake by the morning sun.
I got ready for the day and walked around Derry trying to remember anything I could from 27 years ago. Richie and I left right after the incident of that summer.
I didn't have to meet up with them until later tonight anyways so I kept myself busy for the rest of the day.
Time Skip
I walked up to the Chinese restaurant Mike told us to meet at. When I walked in all that was there was Mike and Bill.
"Hey strangers" I giggled lightly.
"Emma" Mike came up and hugged me. Bill came up after words and hugged me as well.
"You look great" they told me.
"You guys too-" I stopped mid sentence.
"Eddie" Mike said.
"Wow Eds you look just as I remember" I smiled hugging him.
We talked for a good solid ten minutes before Ben, Bev, and Richie came in.
"Get a load of these guys" I heard Richie say while I moved out from behind the guys.
"Emma..." he trailed off, staring at me with a graze.
"Richie"
