"Hey Rich can you get the popcorn?"

"Sure thang! Butter and salt?" He said in a dumb accent.

"You betcha!"

He chuckled and ruffled up his hair, then walked into the kitchen.

"So Bev..." He crossed his legs, and sat in-front of her.

"What?"

"What was that earlier..?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

He raised an eyebrow, "Cmon Beverly you know what I'm talking about. Outside."

She sighed, "I saw Bill and Stan hanging out.. I know they're friends and they can hang out but after that.. it just hurts.."

"I'm sorry." He rubbed her shoulder, "Maybe it's not what you think it is."

"Maybe.. ugh this is so frustrating.." She lay her head in his lap.

He started playing with her hair, "Don't worry about them right now. Let's just have a nice night, just the three of us. Okay?"

She smiled.

"So I picked ghostbusters if that's okay with you guys." Richie passed them the bowl of popcorn.

"Another scary one?"

"You know why I put it on." He smirked.

"I do." He rolled his eyes, "let's just watch the movie."

Halfway into the movie, Eddie went to the bathroom and of course that was Richie's chance to scare him.

"Bev a scary scene is coming on so when he gets back and I make eye contact with you, we scare him."

"He's gonna beat your ass."

"He can try but don't think he'll be going there."

"Damn in what way?"

"Shut up!!" He hit her with a pillow, Eddie walked in the room.

He sat in between them, "Okay you can play it now."

The scary scene was coming on, in which Richie made eye contact with her. A ghost appeared on the screen making Eddie jump, then the two grabbed a hold of him and screamed at him.

He screamed, and fell to the floor. The two burst out laughing.

"Seriously?! You scared the shit outta me!!"

"That was the pointtt." Richie cackled.

"Whatever I'm going outside." He stormed out making them laugh even harder.

"Assholes," he laughed. He sat outside and looked into the night sky, he spotted Beverlys cigarettes on the side window. Don't be an idiot, He said to himself. He looked at them again, and reached his hand out. He then jumped, a sound coming from below him.

He looked down, and shrugged. Another sound.

"H-hello?" No answer. He started to get nervous, and then heard another noise. "Who's there?!"

Eddieeee

"What the fuck?! W-who's doing that? I swear Richie if this is another one of your dumb pranks.." He went to open the window but it was locked, what the hell..

"G-guys.. this isn't funny. Open up!!" He knocked on it.

His breathing intensified, the noises continued.

"Guys seriously this isn't funny! Let me in!!" He banged on the window.

Eddieeee

He felt his chest burn, and his heart pound. He hadn't been this scared since IT, and now he was thinking of his inhaler.
