The next day

(Y/N's POV)
Me and the others walk together to Bill's house, since he wanted to show us something. I look around to see Bev walking towards me.

"Hey, can we talk?" She asks.

"Sure." I answer. We slow down letting everyone pass, "Okay, so what did you want to talk about."

"You know you are my best friend, right? And that I know when you're hiding something." She tells me as I look at her.

"Yeah, you're my best friend, but what does that have to do with anything?" I ask.

"I know that you weren't just screaming about spiders last night." She replies. I look forward as she continues looking at me, "so what else was there?"

"Fine, I will tell you, but I have to start from the beginning. Which was the scar." I answer, knowing that I can tell Bev this.

"Okay..." Bev says.

"You can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you, especially Bill. Okay?" I tell her. She slowly nods her head, confused. I then tell her what happened starting at the beginning when Georgie disappeared til now. By the time I'm finished I'm in tears. She sees this and drops her bike, which makes a loud noise, and hugs me. I drop my bike, as well, and hug her back.

"It's not your fault, Y/N, and I know you don't want me telling anyone, but you have to tell at least tell Bill." Bev whispers to me. I step back and look forward looking at the boys who stopped walking and are staring at us, I glance at Bill and then Bev.

"I can't, he'll be devastated." I whisper to her.

"He probably will, but he will understand that you couldn't help it." She whispers back.

"Are y-you guys okay?" I hear Bill ask. I look at him.

"Yeah, we're fine." Bev replies.

"Okay, well we're h-h-here anyways." Bill says. We walk into the garage and help put chairs out. Mike closes the garage door, while I help Eddie set up the projector. Me and Eddie sit down in front of Stan and Richie as Bill puts in a slide.

"Look. That's where G-G-Georgie disappeared." Bill says pointing at the blueprint, "there's the Ironworks and The Black Spot. Everywhere it happens it's-it's all connected by the sewers and they all meet up-"

"At the well house." Ben interrupts.

"It's in the house on Neibolt street." Stan points out.

"You mean that creepy ass house where all the junkies and hobos like to sleep." Richie says. I look next to me to see Eddie pull out his inhaler and take a puff.

"I hate that place, it always feels like it's watching me." Bev comments.

"It's where I saw it, it's where I saw the clown." Eddie says next to me.

"That-That's where it lives." Bill explains. Eddie takes another puff from his inhaler. I wrap an arm around his shoulders to calm him, like I usually do when he's scared.

"It's okay, Eds. You're okay." I whisper to him.

"I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there." Stan says. I feel Eddie suddenly stand up.

"Can we stop talking about this. I-I-I can barely breathe, it's summer we're kids, I can barely breathe, I'm having a fucking asthma attack and Y/N can't even calm me down! I'm not doing this!" Eddie yells, ripping off the paper Bill put up there.

"What the hell! Put the map back!" Bill yells at Eddie. Eddie shakes his head, suddenly the projector started switching slides, showing pictures of Bill and his family. I stand up and grab Eddie's arm pulling him towards me.

"What's going on?" Bill asks, confused.

"Hold on." Mike says. Mike walks towards the projector trying to fix it. The projector keeps switching slides until it gets to one picture. It starts zooming in on Georgie.

"Georgie." Bill mumbles as he stares at the picture. Eddie moves further back.

"Bill?" Stan questions. It keeps zooming in on Georgie. We all fall silent as we watch the picture shift to Mrs. Denbrough. The hair covering Mrs. Denbrough's face moves away with every click, until finally it reveals the face. I feel myself freeze as I realize it's the clown.

"What the fuck is that?!" Richie screams, "What the fuck is that?!

"I don't fucking know!" Eddie yells back. Everyone starts moving towards the back of the room besides me because I'm frozen in fear.

"Turn it off! Turn it off!" I hear Bev shout.

"Yes, turn it off!" Stan shouts. Mike moves towards the projector and kicks it over. We look at the screen and it shows the background picture. I sigh and turn around to look at them.

"Y/N! Get back!" Eddie screams in fright. I turn around quickly to see nothing there, I sigh, but just as I was about to turn around and walk towards them, I saw the clown pop out 10 times bigger than his normal size. I scream.

"Y/N!" I hear multiple people yell. The clown looked at me and started crawling towards me. I turn around and run only to be slammed against the ground. The clown had grabbed my leg and scratched me in the same place he did before. I cry out in pain. It let's go of me and I scoot backwards, only to hit a wall. It reaches his hand at me, like he did when he grabbed Georgie. I put my hands up to my face and cover my eyes. Scared, that I might die. I suddenly hear the garage door open. I uncover my eyes and look towards the others. They're all staring at me and breathing heavily.

"Y/N! Are you okay?!" Richie asks as he runs over and hugs me. The others following.

"It saw us," Eddie whispered, "It saw us and knows where we are."

"It always knew." Bill mumbles.

"Your leg...." I hear Bev whisper. I look at her to see her staring at my leg, "It scratched you in the same spot."

"What do you mean 'same spot'?" Eddie asks, concerned as he gives me bandages to wrap my leg. I look at her with wide eyes.

"It scratched her in the same spot from when-" Bev pauses and looks at me, I look at her as I wrap my leg, "from when she got scratched by a tree branch."

"How did you get scratched by a tree branch?" Stan asks me.

"I uh I tripped and fell down a hill and I guess a uh tree branch scratched me on the way." I lied looking at Stan.

"Of course your clumsy ass tripped down a hill." Richie exclaims, laughing. I roll my eyes at him, as I finish wrapping my leg and put the bandages in my pocket.

"Let's go." He says. I look at him confused.

"Go? Go where?" Ben asks.

"Neibolt," Bill answers, "Th-Th-That's where G-Georgie is."

"After that? After Y/N could've died?!" Stan asks in disbelief.

"Yeah, my sister just got hurt by the clown and now you want to bring her where the clown lives? You're crazy! Besides it's summer, we should be outside-" Richie adds.

"If you say it's summer one more f-f-fucking time," Bill mumbles, before turning around and hopping on his bike riding away. I try getting up to follow him, but Richie pushes me back down.

"Bill!" Bev yells, running after him.

"Wait!" I call, before following Bev.
