[ Richie ]

I sat at the edge of the quarry, dropping rocks down below. "That doesn't seem very safe, now does it?" I stood up and turned around smiling.

"Hey Beverly." She smiled and waved. "Hi Rich, it's been a little while..." I nodded and walked over to her, giving her a hug. As we got older, Beverly and Y/n grew closer.

Beverly still hangs out with the Losers but not really. If she does she's really only hanging out with Bill.

"Right, what do you need help with?" She asked. I let out a long sigh and pushed my glasses up my nose.

"Y/n and I are having a huge fight and I'm so lost at this point." Beverly nodded and we walked over to the edge, sitting down. Our legs hung off the rocks, dangling below us.

"Well, what's the argument about?" She asked. "I- Y/n thinks I don't trust her... Like- She thinks I'm being overprotective because I just want her to tell me where she's going! I literally don't know why it's so goddamn hard."

"Have you told her why you want her to tell you where she's going?"

I stared at the forest in front of us, anxiety slowly poisoning my body. "No..." I whispered.

"I'm going to guess you want her to because of Pennywise." Beverly added. I nodded and my hands grabbed at the gravel under me, scratching my fingers.

"Well, I guess it is kinda hard to explain. If you want, I'll explain it to her." I smiled and looked at Beverly.

"You'd really do that?" I asked.

She shrugged and nodded, looking over at me. "Yeah, I mean... That's what friends do." There was silence between us for a moment.

My body moved on its own and I leaned forward, pressing my lips onto hers. Our lips sat pressed together for a few seconds as we processed the kiss.

My eyes widened and I stood up, Bev following my action. "Richie?!" I shook my head and stumbled away from her. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." I mumbled on loop.

I turned around and grabbed my bike, getting on, and riding away. I felt a thick lump in my throat as I rode to my house.

What did I do?

Why did I do that?

It- it happened so fast. I kissed her. Did she lead me on? No way. Beverly is Y/n's best friend. She was just helping me and I fucking kissed her!

I sped past three familiar kids, not stopping at their calls. "Richie?!" Stan shouted. I shook my head and felt my lip quiver.

They're all probably going to hate me. Especially Big Bill.

My mouth twitched into a frown as I let out a loud gasp for air. I saw my house and pushed my pedals backward.

My bike screeched to a stop in front of my lawn. I dropped it and sped walked inside, taking my glasses off to wipe my eyes.

I hiccuped as I closed the door behind me, the whole world blurred. "Richie?" I could hear my mom talking to me with a worried tone.
