The Town of Derry

Cherry

Bens pov:

All I could think about was how my moms on a date, with a guy me and my sister don't even know, haven't met him once, we don't even know his name! We only know that he's super funny?

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy she's happy, but why wouldn't she of consulted us? Her kids..

"Don't worry, I hope she doesn't like him either Laura" I said as Beverly and her headed upstairs. She turned and smiled at me, then proceeded to go back up to her room.

"So what do you have planned for my sister?" I asked Stanley as as he sipped his pizza in some ranch. "Picnic Breakfast and I found a nest of the bird shes been in love with since we all started hanging out"
Sounds like a good plan, I hope she likes it, on the other hand, my moms taking me out for breakfast to an IHOP an hour away.

"Were all meeting at 11:30pm at the quarry the night before your birthday" Richie said handing me a paper of instructions. "I need to get Eddie out of that house some how too" Richie frowned at the thought of not

"So tomorrow we meet at 11:30pm. In the mean time, we have to save Eddie.. should we get the girls? They're good at this stuff?" Ben explained as he sat up right from laying on the floor, Richie smiled at the fact if friends are willing to give up the arcade to help save Eddie from his overprotective mom.

Laura's pov:

Bev and I sat on my bed as we talked about random stuff, boys: stand and Bill, Richie with Eddie, Henry bowers being an ass.

"So you and Stanley need to have your first kiss kiss still right?" Beverly grinned at me as I opened my case of chapstick, "well, yeah, but like we're not rushing into everything.. not trying to get pregnant" I joked sitting back down onto my bed.

I dumped out my millions of chapsticks and dug through them trying to pick out one to put on. "We should totally make the guys do the chapstick challenge" Beverly giggles as she picked up a handful and dumped it down, motioning to me to tell me I have way too many chapsticks.

"That would be awful" Stanley said as he stood at the door, "I'm not kissing another guy!" He yelled laughing as he walked into my room "hey!" We heard Richie fake offended yell, "no offence rich! Love you!" Stanley chuckled as he grabbed my hand.

"we need you girls to help save Edster" Stanley pulled me off the bed, the noise of chapsticks clinked together, "cherry or sweet tangy orange" I chuckled as those were the only two I had on me as he drug me down the stairs with Beverly closely following.

"Cherry" Beverly replied, i sat down in front of Stan laying my head back to look at him. "Okay so what's the plan?" Richie started, not even waiting for Beverly to get comfortable.

"Well, we can go to Eddies, sneak him out his window?" I suggested, Ben wrote it down, Stanley played with my chapsticks I handed him as I grabbed the thick rope from the coffee table storage bin underneath.

"He only has one available hand" Richie stated, I didn't forget. "I'll climb up, tie the rope around his waist, and he can sit on my back as I go down?" Stanley offered, we nodded. "I can call him right now, his moms not home for another 10 minutes; to tell him we're on our way" Richie smiled jumping up and running into the kitchen where our house phone was.

Richies phone call:

Rich: "hi Eddie! It's me"

Eddie: "oh hi boo we gotta make it fast my mom will be home in 10"

Rich: "yeah I know, we're coming to rescue you, Stan the mans gonna climb up and carry u down"

Eddie: "oh god. I'm gonna get in so much shit if my mom finds out"

Rich: "that's okay that's okay, we can hide you at the Hanscoms for a few or you can come with me home"

Eddie; "my prince, I'm excited to see you.. ive been dying here alone!"

Rich: "I miss you too spaghetti"

Eddie: "really rich?! *giggles* I miss you too, my moms pulling in! Bye I love you see you soon"

Rich: "I love you too"

Richie hung up the phone with a huge smile on his face. "Saving my mannnn" he said as he wandered back into the living room, "well better get in gear!" Bill said as he slipped on black gloves he found in the storage bin.

"I still wanna see the guys do the chapstick challenge" Beverly chuckled as she went upstairs. "Oh god" bill murmured under his breath.

"I have cherry on, it's not bad! You just gotta guess what flavour the person you kiss has on... but in this case you're kissing each other? I don't know how she wants to do it" I laughed as I twisted the bottom of my cherry chapstick, smelling it and putting the lid on.

I leaned back placing my head onto Stanley's lap, shoving the chapstick into his cute shirt pocket. "We have to wear black or this won't work!" Richie said; I stuck my finger up as to say, 'give me a minute' as I stood up and ran into my basement.

"Did she just -" Stanley asked as he looked down the hall at the open basement door, "on my way my love!" Stanley yelled as he stood up and did a super man pose.

"Hi" he chuckled standing at the bottom of the stairs as I dug through a box. "Hi, come help I can't reach this" I pointed to the bag of clothes at the top of the shelf. "My rescuer" I chuckled as he placed the bag on the floor.

"Your so calm down here" he mentioned looking into the corner of the dark damp basement, "well, I guess. I don't try to think about it" I said, getting shivers down my back.

"You came down here because you didn't want me to get taken, which means you think he's not gone gone.." I softly spoke at I put a black hoodie onto Stanley's body.

I felt his body clench, "I don't know Laur, but I didn't want you to be down here alone" he smiled down at me and I passed him more black shirts.

My dad used to print shirts; like put designs on it, etc. Which is why I have so many black clothes downstairs.

"I love you" he smiled at me as I stood up with a handful of black pants and hats, socks "I love you too stan" I chuckled, I began to walk up the stairs taking my first step, as he grabbed my arm. "Jesus" I signed "you cant do that stan" I chuckled as he brought me into a hug. "Sorry" he chuckled.

He pulled out of the hug and smiled down at me, making my stomach go crazy with butterflies.

Before I got the chance to hug him again, or proceed up the stairs, His lips were on mine.
