Quick a/n: all the chapters are in y/n POV unless it says otherwise. Also when I do flashbacks it's to the summer of IT. K thanks!

Flashback
Here I am just sitting on the sidewalk. Bill and Bev just left and I don't want to go home to Richie just yet. The fight was pretty bad. Bill punched Richie and Richie got mad when I didn't take his side. I look around and there's nobody anywhere. Shit I'm scared.

I stand up and start making my way to the only place I could think of at the moment. The quarry. I grab the necklace Bill got me for my 12th birthday out of my back pocket. I never went anywhere without it. I arrive at the quarry cliff and sit down, dangling my legs over the edge. For the first time in a long time I feel calm. I set the necklace down next to me and close my eyes.

"Y/nnnn."

"Y/nnnnnnn."

I open my eyes and see a red balloon floating up from the bottom of the cliff. "Good ol Richie isn't here to rescue you noooow." The voice cackles. Suddenly something grabs my legs and starts to pull me off the cliff. I kick and scream but nobody hears me. I kick and finally get myself out of the grasp of the clown. I run and run.

Flashback end
I arrive at the quarry. I step over the caution tape and I look around at the spot where I was sitting on the day I barely remember. There it is. I bend down and pick up the necklace Bill got me all those years ago. I hold it up to my heart. I take a glance down at the bottom of the quarry cliff just to make sure. I step back over the tape.

"Y/nnnn"

"Not this again." I mumble to myself. I turn around and see the clown I know oh so dearly. "Y/n, it's been a long time hasn't it? You've grown out of your fear of isolation." The clown cackles. "Y-yeah I g-guess I have?" I stutter and step back. "But dear y/n you'll never out grow your clinginess. No wonder Curtis cheated, your too clingy. That's why you won't be able to get rid of that child you have." IT says. "Ch-child? What ch-child?" I tremble. The clown laughs and disappears.

"What the fuck?" I breath out and get the shit out of there.

~time skip~

I look down at my watch and see there's still about an hour until I have to be at the library to meet the others. I decide to walk around town. First I pass the park where the losers and I went a few times, then I pass the pharmacy. I peek in and see Eddie talking to the old man working the front desk. What's his name again? Mr Kiwi? Mr Kee? Wait wait wait Mr Keene! And his awful daughter Gretta. I walk into the pharmacy to get meds for my sickness I've been feeling.

I walk up to the front desk and ask me Keene for some ibuprofen. "What are the symptoms?" He asks.  I tell him my symptoms and he hands me a pregnancy test. "What?" I question. "Just take it." He says and motions me to the restroom. "No thanks." I say. "I'm leaving now but thanks for nothing."

I roll my eyes and decide to walk to a place I haven't been in years and hoped I'd never see again, Derry High School.

flashback to y/n's last year of  high school
High school has been miserable, all the losers graduated and I'm stuck here with no friends. Just because Henry Bowers is gone and Gretta graduated doesn't mean there isn't any bullies though. I'm still bullied pretty bad and richie isn't here any longer to protect me from them.

Grandma died and I'm always home alone now. No friends. No family. Nothing. I miss Bill.

flashback end

My eyes tear up. I haven't seen the losers club in 28 years, well except my brother. We of course stayed in contact and had family reunions and shit. I look at my watch and decide to start making my way to the library considering the fact that I left my car at the hotel.
