𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓹 || Beverly Marsh

3.

Blake eventually came around and stopped crying. He looked pathetic, Blake thought to himself. His eyes where puffy, his hair a mess. He sniffed and wiped his face.

"I'm not going to be like you aren't I?" Blake said. Bill looked at the boy and raised an eyebrow.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"You are a cis male, born in the right body, perfect family! Everything I could dream of." Bill chuckled.

"My family is not perfect." He said. "Me and Georgie fight all the time."

"At least your father doesn't abuse you!"

"How about this," Bill got up and handed Blake some clothes. "We call up the other losers and we go hang out at the quarry." Bill smiled. "I think you just need to be with your chosen family."

"Yeah, the losers are my brothers. That would be nice." He smiled brightly. The two got dressed and Blake wasn't a huge fan of the flannel Bill gave him, but they where men's clothes and that's all that mattered. The two then headed off to the quarry. Before they left Bill called everyone in for a team meeting at the quarry. As soon as Blake and Bill got to the quarry the other boys were looking at Blake.

"I like your hair Beverly!" Ben chimed in. Blake bit his lip. Too nervous to say anything about the horrible name.

"T-Thats why we are here." Bill said. "Do you wanna tell t-them?" Bill looked at Blake. He nodded and stood up.

"My name is Blake Marsh and I am a boy." Richie gasped before Eddie elbowed him.

"Welcome to the man squad!" Richie grabbed his package and chuckled.

"Richie! Gross!" Blake laughed along.

"We s-should treat Blake the same way as we did before." Bill said.

"Yes, just don't call me Beverly and use he/him pronouns." Blake said. No one seemed to even bat an eye when he came out. It was refreshing. The boys just laughed and played as they normally did. Nothing changed between them. The boys where walking into the sewers. It was apart of their daily routine to just explore whatever they could.

"This is so gross!" Eddie exclaimed out.

"Suck it up asshole!" Richie flipped him off.

"Get a room!" Blake chuckled and continued to walk into the sewers. They spent their day exploring the sewers and messing around like they always did. A couple hours after they enetered they sewers they left. They laid on the grass and looked up at the clouds, Richie telling them he found a penis cloud. They where cut abrupt by some sirens in the distance.

"Fucking hell!" Blake sat up.

"What's going on?" Stan asked.

"My dad said probably called the police on me. I ran away!" Blake looked around. A police officer came out from the bushes and Blake ran and found a hiding spot in the sewers. The other losers looked at Blake oddly, they soon catcher on. The police officer looked around for a moment.

"I don't see her anywhere Mr. Marsh" He yelled aloud. Blake heard a fimilar chuckled.

"She has to be around here somewhere god damnit!" The man said.

"I'm going to beat her little ass." Al whispered to himself. Blake peered out of the sewers and looked at the man before quickly going back and hiding.

"T-That's him!" Bill said quietly. "That's Blake's dad! We somehow need to tell the police that he is not a good man!" Blake nodded and agreed with Bill.

"I can show them my bruises but I am just a kid, my dad could say I got them playing."

"This is not okay. If you are being hurt we need to tell someone." Stan chimes in.

"I love you Blake and it pains me to see you hurting like this." Ben said. Blake ignored Ben as he got out of the sewers.

"What is he doing?" Mike asked.

"My dad is gone, we can try and find a police man now!" The rest of the losers silently nodded and left the sewers. They looked around for a moment. Was this something Blake really wanted to go through with? There where three options, 1. Tell the police officer and get help. 2. Tell the police officer and they ignore you and send you back to your dad or 3. Don't do anything and keep hiding from him. Option 3 seemed the easiest right now but it wasn't the best.

He knew what he had to do
