Chapter 17: The Real Reason

January 21st, 1989

Your P.O.V.

I come out of my room, to see boxes being carried out onto a big truck. "What's going on?" Nobody answers me, so I look for Mom or Dad. I find Dad loading boxes into the truck. I tap his shoulder, and he flinches. "What's going on."

"Hi, Chouchou. I can't answer that question, but Mom can."

That helped me so much, and now I get to find Mom. Avoiding the people who are taking the boxes, I notice the symbol on their jackets, it looks like a moving company of sorts. I carry on, but then I realize that they are taking stuff away from my house.

"MOM!" I hear some running.

"Is something wrong?"

"Why are people taking stuff from our house?" Mom looks a little nervous, and sad.

"Oceane and Charles are going to live with your grandma, because we can't take care of all of you. I'm honestly surprised that you didn't have any suspicions about this."

I knew it! "I did have suspicions, I actually figured it out, but I thought it couldn't be possible. What kind of mother wouldn't tell her child that their siblings are moving away."

Mom looks sort of ashamed, but then she doesn't. "I didn't tell you, because I knew you would react this way."

"At least I would have known about it." I pick up a box, and head to the moving truck. I walk down the stairs angrily, wanting to kick something, but afraid to fall, so I don't. I shove the box in the van, and run. Where am I running? Who knows, I'm just running.

Once I stop, I'm in a clearing, surrounded by trees. A little ways away,is a stream, still a little frozen from the winter. Maybe running away can be good thing, although I have to be home before curfew. I start looking for the way home, but I can't remember which way I came from, because I was distracted.

I check my watch for the time, and I've got a few hours before I'm supposed to meet Mike at his house, because it's Saturday. At least I have something to do, so I don't think about the move. Since I have time, I explore the area, and look for a way back home. There's a tree in the middle of the clearing that I climb to find my way home. I see Derry, and once I'm out of the tree, I start heading that way.

I walk alongside the stream, and it leads me to the Barrens. An echo comes from the sewer. "Y/n, don't you want to come float?" I'm not that much of a dumbass, so I run away from the noise.

While I'm running away, I run into the Bowers gang. I try to leave, but Henry stops me. "Why have you been avoiding us princess?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because your best friend Criss kissed me, and didn't call to apologize." Henry opens his mouth, as if he's going to say something. "And don't give me that bullshit about him not knowing my number, because you know full well that you have my number."

He leans over to Criss. "You sure picked a feisty one."

"Y/n, can you come with me?" He grabs my wrist, but I pull it away.

"Why should I?"

"Because I need to talk to you." He grabs my arm even tighter, and pulls me into the woods. I look at Henry, and he's standing there, smirking. When we get far enough away, he lets go of my arm, and I try to run. "Wait."

"What for? For you to kiss me again when I don't want to?"

"No, I never liked you, it was just a show so that Henry would let you hang out with us."

"Why would you want me to hang out with you?"

Victor's P.O.V.

"Why would you want me to hang out with you?"
