Broken Children [B.D]✔

Chapter Seven

Bill and Carrie were still at Carrie's house, and Bill was still trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

She had calmed down a little bit more, but he was still curious and concerned of her acting and the way she sprinted to him.

He was wondering if it had anything to do with Liam being missing, but he knew there was more to it then it just being about Liam.

"Can I just tell you when I am ready, Bill?"Carrie snapped Bill out of his thoughts, he looked down at her.

"Y-yeah, b-but you a-are go-ing to te-ll me, r-right?"Bill asked.

Caroline nodded her head at him to confirm his questioning.

"Its just... what I saw was horrifying,"She spoke up,"Something that my eyes can never unsee."She finished.

"I under-st-and."He replied, although he was still curious he didn't want to push her into telling him.

"So, where are we going first?"Carrie asked as she headed over to her bike and pulled it up next to Bill's.

"Ed-die's ho-use."Bill replied as they began to bike their way over to Eddie's household.

Caroline fell back into her thoughts the whole way towards Eddie's house. She noticed that Richie was already there, with his bike lying messily on the ground.

Once Carrie pulled up she dropped her bike onto Eddie's neatly trimmed lawn before looking at Bill who was just watching her.

"Bill."Carrie spoke up for the first time. Bill who was watching her carefully snapped out of his daze.

"Y-yeah?"He replied, dropping his bike down next to Carrie's and approaching next to her side.

"You okay."She asked him, now growing concerned for his actions.

"I'm f-fine,"He replied looking down at her with confused eyes."Wh-y do y-you a-ask?"He finished.

"Oh, you looked like something was on your mind, and you were staring off into space."She replied truthfully, because he did looked dazed and looked off.

"Y-yeah I'm f-fine."He said, shrugging his shoulder, and gave her a small smile.

"We should go inside now."Carrie said awkwardly, before walking up Eddie's front steps and knocking on the door.

Bill shook himself out of his thoughts and followed after the girl.

Richie answered the door with Eddie at his heels. They both had cheeky grins, and a mysterious glint in their eyes.

"What's up with you guys?"Carrie asked, confused at their weird behavior.

"Oh, nothing."Richie answered, winking at the two confused teens.

"But, Carrie can I speak to you for a minute outside?"Richie said, not giving her a chance before taking a hold of her hand and pulling her out the door.

He released her right after the door shut behind them and he gave her a knowing look.

"What?"She asked, confused on his strange looks.

"You know what."He replied, smiling cheekily at her.

"No, I really don't."She said, rolling her eyes.

Richie sighed and shook his head, as if thinking that she was dumb or blind.

"You like Bill, don't you?"He exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air to make his point.

Carrie's face flushed a bright red and she looked away from one of her best friends. She thought that she was good at hiding the fact that she did, but apparently she was wrong.
