Losers (It)

Mike

"It's," Virgil started, pausing, "i um, i like Richie." Virgil looked down at his feet, not wanting to meet their eyes. Suddenly, he felt Stan and Bills arms around him, comforting him.

"We know kid" Stan said to him.

"Is it obvious?" Virgil said in a panicked tone.

"N-no," Bill said looking at Stan, "i-it's ju-ust pa-pa-pa-"

"Good parents always know." Stan finished for him, winking.

"Thank you," Virgil said, "I love you guys."

"W-we love y-you t-tu-ho." said Bill, Virgil could feel Stan nod. They didn't know that Lexi heard everything by accident. She was looking for Bill to ask him if he wanted to go next. But since she knew she decided not to say anything. She would act surprised if and when Virgil decides to tell her. Meanwhile, Mike is inside, facing the newspaper clippings of what happened. He looks at them for a long time, then finally says "Its ok, i didn't mean to do it, its ok." Then he remembered the first time Pennywise used his fear against him.

Flashback

I was delivering meat to the different customers when i saw Bowers and his gang, i went around to use the side entrance to avoid them. I went to the door but it started to push open so I took a small step back. Then the hands popped out, scratching and clawing, trying to escape. They were all chard and and aflame, they were my family. I freaked out, started to back up. Then the door flung open and the hands were gone, my family, gone again. Something was in the back room, behind the translucent curtain like strips of rubbery plastic. It was eating the raw meat that was hung there. Then it turned to me and waved. I jumped and stumbled back falling against my bike and all the deliveries in it. That's when Bowers drove down the alleyway.

"Stay the fuck out of my town!" he yelled, threw his cigarette butt at me, then drove off. The next thing I knew, It was gone and the shop owner was standing at the door asking me if i was ok.

End of flashback

Virgil looks at Lexi, who is talking to Bill, trying to decide whether or not to let her know how he felt. Stan walks over and it's as if he read his mind. 

"Tell her." he said, "if you want to tell her, tell her. We all know how trustworthy she is."

"Your right," Virgil says "hey Lex-" but he's cut off by Mike coming out of the Butchers.

"Alright Bill, your turn." He says, shutting the door behind him and jumping into the front seat.

Bill sits up there with him. Stan and Lexi climb into the next row, Ben and Bev behind them, and then Virgil, Eddie, and Richie in the back. Stan turns around and gives Virgil a look that says do you want to switch and Virgil looks back with ill be ok. Virgil and Stan, ever since they met, had been able to talk like that. The only other person Virgil can do it with is Bev, and that took years of knowing each other and growing together.

"Where to Bill?" Mike asks.
