So Maybe It's Still Like That (Bill Denbrough x Reader Book 2)

Chapter Five Memories Of The Past

A/N
Sorry I haven't been updating that much, it's difficult to find the proper clips and get it word for word while also adding in a extra character but I'm having fun with this. Also the reason I was gone for so long was because I got my phone, and iPod taken away so i couldn't update but I'm back and I'm trying my hardest.

I woke up with a headache hitting me like a bus. I remembered the night before, sadly, and I already regret my drinking decisions.
"Wow I haven't seen you like this since college." Beverly teases standing by my door
"Hey could you please get me my Tylenol, Escitalopram, and Sertralinr? They're in my bag." I ask pointing towards my untouched suitcase.
She nodded but came to the bed first and held out her hand.
"First you are getting out of bed now or else I know for a fact that you won't get up  till noon." She stated.
I grabbed her hand and got up making my way towards the washroom. I brushed threw my hair and attempted to look more alive then I really felt. (story of my life)
"I'm sorry about Stan." She quietly apologizes.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, I didn't even remember who he was until yesterday." I say trying to seem more tough
She rolled her eyes, knowing that I was just putting on a fesaud.
"Whatever you say." She says as she heads out of my room.
I looked down at my pills and scoff.
'I was never told why I take these.'
I took them anyway and made my way downstairs after I got dressed.
"Took you long enough, having a movie montage in there?" Richie jokes
We made our way across the river into the trees. The place had a calm familiar feeling to it
"The Barrens." Beverly stated
"This is where we came after the rock fight." Ben says remembering that day
"The clubhouse." Richie said
"Jesus I completely forgot about that." I say chuckling
"Yeah, yeah, The hatch has gotta be around here, some place." Richie says as he begins to look around
As we all try to find it Beverlys foot trips over a branch causing her to fall. Luckily she was caught by Bill.
"You okay?" Bill asked her
She nodded smiling
"What?" He asked her confused
"Nothings, it's just. You haven't changed. It's a good thing." She tells him finally letting go of his arm
I felt a slight pain in my chest as I watched them.
Ben looked around a certain area before speaking up.
"You know I think the door was more like around-" He got cut off by falling threw the ground
It was all so fast, I ran up to the door to make sure he was alright.
"You good?" I asked him
"Found it." He said still on the ground
"I'M OKAY! COME DOWN!" He yelled up to everyone
I got off of my knees and

took a step on the creaking ladder. Following Behind Eddie. I looked around in amazement.
"What the dick is this? How did you build it?" Richie asked him walking more into the 'clubhouse.'
"When did you build it?" Bill asked
"Here and there, I guess it was dug out from something so I just had to reinforce the walls and get some wood for the roof door and that's pretty much it. Pretty good for my first time." He says leaning against a pillar until it causes a plank to fall on the ground.
I covered my mouth so I wouldn't laugh.
"Now that's a cool feature, what happens when you put your hand on the other pillars professor?" Richie sarcastically asked
I looked around more and more until I found myself beside Bill.
"This place is so cool." I tell him smiling
He nodded his head in agreement.
"Oh you see this is exactly why there are safety codes, why we have permits. This place is a death trap, do you understand?" Eddie began blabbering causing Stan and I to roll our eyes.
"Well, it's a work in progress, okay Eddie." Ben told him giving off very annoyed energy
I felt my hand be grabbed, I looked down and saw Bills fingered locked with mine making my face flush probably as red as Eddies shorts, we kept those hands behind our back so no one would notice and start talking about it.
"Just so you know, if I get hurt you're reliable. Also, what is this? The switch from an iron maiden." Eddie asked pointing to something hanging from the ceiling.
"Th-that's a flashlight." Ben stuttered
"What is that, a horse hitch-" Eddie went from pointing out something to picking something off the ground
"Oh this is cool." Eddie exclaimed picking up a paddle ball.
"That was like, three dollars. So be careful with that please." Ben told Eddie quietly
"I have one of these." Eddie said before turning over to Stan
"Hey Stan, you see this?" He asked aiming the paddle ball at Stan causing him so flinch back.
"Yeah." Stan replied as he continued to flinch
"Can you maybe not?" He asked Eddie but to no avail
"Yeah, yeah hold on. You know it'd be awesome to have fun of the magic of the paddle ball." Eddie replied continuing to almost hit Stan with the ball on it.
Stan hit the ball away causing it to break off of its string and land between some wooden beams.
"Wow. Good going numb nuts, you broke his thing." Eddie accused
"I broke it!?" Stan questioned in a louder tone
"Yeah, you broke it with your face."
"What?"
I rolled my eyes and looked over to Bill chuckling
"How long do you think this will take?" I whispered to him
He let out a small laugh and shrugged
"I'm not putting my fucking hand down there." Eddie stated
