Forever a L.O.S.E.R. (Loser's Club x Reader)

~Chapter 1~

Y/N's P.O.V

I wonder if they'll remember me, I thought to myself. It had been almost 3 years since I had lived in Derry, Maine and seen Richie and the other members of the Loser's club. I was 11 then. Now I was 14. I had changed quite a lot, too. I wasn't that clumsy, awkward, skinny girl that everyone loved. Okay, maybe I still am her a little bit. But I'm not better or worse now I'm just, different. The Loser's club. The only reason why I'm still alive. Eddie and his constant talk about how something as little as touching dust could kill you. Or Stan, keeping all of the Loser's in check. And Bill. To me, Bill was one of the people I was most dying to see.  But only because I used to have a crush on him for years. Richie always suspected that Bill had a crush on me too but I never believed him. I made myself get over that crush after my parents had forced me to move away. But now they're gone. And I think I still like Bill. No, I know I do. Last year, I got a call from Richie saying that Bill's little brother Georgie had went missing. I remember I fell to the ground and cried for hours, my parents not even comforting me. Georgie was like a little brother to me too. I still can't believe he's gone. Just gone. I didn't cry when my parents died. I barely even cared. I was only in shock.

"Come on Y/N, we have to leave now"my Aunt Maggie called. I liked Aunt Maggie a thousand times better than my mom. She was sweet, caring, beautiful, and protective of me. Everything that my mom was not. It was hard to tell that my mom was even related to Aunt Maggie.

"Coming Auntie" I said as I took one last look at my bedroom and raced down the stairs.

"Are you ready to go honey? Do you have everything packed? Do you need help carrying that?" Aunt Maggie showered me with questions, something both she and Richie often did.

"No, it's okay Aunt Maggie, I'm fine" I said as I suppressed a laugh. I wasn't used to people caring about me this much. Or at all really.

"Okay, but do you want to say goodbye to your friends one last time" she asked me.

I sighed. I didn't have any friends here. Everyone at school avoided me like I was the plague. They called me fat ass, slut, whore, bitch. And anything else that they thought would get a rise out of me. I get upset easily. But it's okay, I'm used to it by now. Besides, I was going home to see my real friends soon enough.

"No, I'm fine. I already said goodbye to all of them" I lied. 

"That's good sweetie" Aunt Maggie said as she smiled and touched my cheek.

A few minutes later, Aunt Maggie and I piled all of my stuff into the back of her station wagon and left. 

I happened to live in up-state New York so it wasn't a very long drive to get to Derry. I mostly just listened to the radio or stared outside my window at the gloomy world, not ready for what I would see when I got home.

----------4 HOURS AND 13 MINUTES LATER----------

As soon as we drove through the town limits, I smiled. I recognized everything immediately. The water tower, the high school, the diner, the movie theaters. I have so many memories here. Not good or bad exactly but just, memories. Then I saw a sign up at the police station. It read "Remember to be in by curfew at 7:30." I got Aunt Maggie's attention. 

"Hey Aunt Maggie, why is there a curfew here  now" I asked her. She hesitated and then sighed.

"Well you see, there have been a few of children going missing recently and the police want everyone to be safe" she said. She waited a few seconds before she said "But don't you worry honey because we wouldn't let anything happen to you or Richie. Well, maybe Richie" she added. We both laughed and she kept driving.

I could tell she was lying though. How could I tell? Because every single telephone pole was covered in missing children's poster and not one was from before a year ago. That made me wonder,

What exactly was going on in this town?...
