Beth didn't know where to start. She thought about it for a while and walked down her old street. She saw her old house. It was old and falling apart. The windows were shattered and boarded up. She sighed and remembered the shoebox or like her and Ben called it a safe in her old closet. She carefully slipped her hand through a hole that was made in the glass window on the door and unlocked it. The house didn't look as bad as it did on the outside. Maybe a Couple of cobwebs and rat nests here and there and dust was thick  on  everything. She quietly walked up the stairs and hearing a creek every time she moved.

She finally made it into to her old room. She looked at the old walls and her bed that obviously never left its spot. She walked into the closet and found the old Converse all stars shoe box she was looking for. She was surprised they had left it but their mom was quick to move and it never crossed their minds in till a year later. She opened up the dust covered box and saw the old baseball and Pokémon cards they collected, an old baseball, and something that coughed her eye the most.
It was an old blue half heart necklace that Bill gave her. It was a friendship necklace he gave her and he wore the other half on a string around his wrist.

As she grabbed the necklace and something was reflecting the sunlight distracting her. She looked down again and grabbed a silver chain that said little sister. She remembered that Ben got her this and he had one that said big brother.

She felt that this was her token because of how close her and her brother were and they were their own losers club just by them selves

She felt that this was her token because of how close her and her brother were and they were their own losers club just by them selves. They only had each other at first. Well they had mom but she was never home and if she was she would be hateful without realizing it. She wasn't a bad mother but the lose of their father took a huge toll on her. She sighed and put the bracelet around her wrist and pulled the necklace that Bill gave her on her neck.

Flashback.
Beth sat in the library with Ben. It was the day after the fight and they were both upset.
"this might not make you fell any better but I'll never turn my back on you.. I'll always have your back" Beth whispered to her brother. Ben looked up from him book. "it dose make me fell better, you and I against the world Beth" he smiled and put his arm on her shoulder.

Beth stood up and stuffed the shoe box in her backpack and walked towards the door. Her hand grazed the door knob but she stopped when smoke and the smell of flames filled her nose as looked around and saw slithers of smoke dancing around the Closest door she was at. She slowly turned to face it and open it but the door slammed open and revealed and mummified Hockstetter. with a Pennywise suit. She quickly jumped back. "have a light" he chuckled in a Pennywise way and his arms and head busted into flames. Her fear of fire came back and Flashbacks of her first house, before Darry catching fire and then back when Henry locked her in a school locker and when she tried to get out Hockstetter would use a lighter and can of spray paint and make a flamethrower heating up the metal of the locker.
"get back you son of bitch" she growled. It charged at her and grabbed her forearms with his flaming hands burning them red. She screamed and kneed him in the stomach he let go and she ran out the door and down the stairs practically sliding down and she bulldozed the door down with all of her strength.
She ran down a couple of streets before she stopped in front of the library. She heaved and panted as she tried to catcher her breath. "I can see why you use a inhaler Eddie" she whispered to her self and let out a  cough.
When she regained her strength she looked at her forearms and saw they were both burned and bright red but nothing too horrible or life threatening to her skin. maybe close to a really bad sun burn or the kinda burn you get when your doing something in the kitchen. She sighed and hid her face in her hands.

Flashback.
Beth watched it flash before her eyes.
She sat behind Bill on his bike silver as he raced down the neighborhoods of Darry. He came to a sudden stop and they both got off. She saw they were at the quarry.
"y-you oh-okay bb-beth?" he asked knowing the answer. Its been a couple of days after the fight and bill needed to see her. "I W-want to g-give you something" he says shyly and pulls out half of a blue heart. "t-this is a
r-r-reepresents our friendship" he said slipping the necklace over her head. And showed her his half was silver and on a string around his wrist.

Beth uncovered her face and decided it was safe to walk back to the town house. When she got there she saw Ben and Beverly on the steps and Stan at the bar fiddling with his token.
When she closed the door all eyes were on her. "what happened to your arms?" Ben asked.
"um... Nothing?" she said looking at everything but her brother. Ben walked up to her and grabbed her arms gently. "are those burns?" he asked in a scared tone. "I ran into Pennywise" she said softly and looked at her brother "there not that bad Benny" he looked at her arms again and saw the bracelet that he gave her. "you found it?" he asked. She nodded "yeah its my token.. found your too" she smiled holding up the one that said big brother. He took it and put around his wrist and was about to say something els but Richie came storming in like a bat out of hell.
"Benjamin, Elizabeth move" he mumbled.
"were are you going?" Beverly asked.
"leaving" he said bluntly. "can I come too?" Stan asked shyly.
"wait you can't leave" Beverly said standing up and watching the two men go to their rooms. Ben sighed "I'll talk to Richie" he said following the men upstairs. "I'll talk to Stan" Beverly said following Ben.
"can this day get any worse?" she asked her self but her mind was cut off by door slamming shut. She looked up and saw Eddie storming in with his feet shuffling on the ground. "eds what happened?" Beth asked as she looked at him up and down and saw a black or brown substance coating his body and face. "nothing... I'm fine" he said in a shocked tone and his eyes wide as he charged up the stairs. Beth watched him disappear to the next floor then immediately turned around as the door opened again reveling a anxious Bill.
