Love at First Dare // Stenbrough

Twenty-Five

Gripping Bill's hand, he leads me to his house. We talk about the project due this Friday, and what we wanna do at his house.

"S-so what do you wanna d-do?" He sighs, realizing I know he's probably nervous. "Don't be nervous we'll have fun." I smile as he unlocks the door with his free hand.

*Ding*

Trash mouth 🙄✨

T: Hey...where did you two go? We're all waiting?
S: we're hanging out at his house. And don't say anything sexual bc I will find you.
T: you know me so well.
S: whatever.
T: you know you love me :)
S: I do. Now go mess with Eddie or something and leave me alone.
T: THIS IS EDDIE. HE'S CHASING ME YOU BITCH
S: ;)

After a minute or two Bill unlocks the door, letting me in first. "Do you live by yourself?" "Yeah...I like l-living alone." "Seems fun." He smiles, finally letting go of my hand.

"Richie was chasing Eddie just now." I chuckle, sitting down beside him. "Seems like something h-h-he would do." Bill closes his eyes tightly before standing up. "I'm gonna get a drink do you want anything?"

I can see the worry in his eyes. "Bill...don't worry we'll have fun." He sighs. "Yeah I'm j-just worry I'll mess u-up." I furrow my brows. "You won't mess up. We're friends right?" "Yeah..." he smiles before standing up again, making his way into the kitchen.

"Billy? I'm home." Looking at the door a small kid walks in, well not kid. "G-Georgie...hey." Bill smiles as the kid runs to him, hugging him tightly. "This is S-Stanley." "Hi, Stanley." He smiles at me. Shaking my hand too.

"I forgot to say, I live with him too." "How old is he?" "E-Eleven." "Oh okay." Georgie smiles, pulling out some homework.

*Later that day*
Somehow Richie and the rest of the group made their way over here.

"Georgie, come give me a hug." "Richie!!!" The kid practically jumps into Richies arms. Having a very kid-like manner. Eddie smiles slightly at me. "You're a bitch, you know that right?" I laugh loudly.

"He broke my arm." My eyes wide until he laughs too. "It's fine. It hurt like a bitch though." Georgie pays no mind to what we say, talking to Richie about whatever.

The rest of them make their way through the door. "I don't believe that, come and show me." "What is it?" "He says he made a giant airplane." "Oooh." Mike smiles.

Georgie pulls Richie with him, basically running up the stairs to his room. "He's literally a child. I don't understand." Eddie rolls his eyes, sitting beside me.

Leaning over, I lay my head on Bill's shoulder. He slightly tenses up before relaxing once again. Gripping my hand tightly h elides my head.

"Beverly no." Ben's hand covers her mouth. "This bet is gonna be off Friday anyways." Stanley chuckles. Beverly frowns. "If you're asking me I think it shouldn't be off." "Of course you do." Mike chuckles.

Richie runs back into the living room, breathing heavily. Vigorous tears falling as he cries loudly. Falling to his knees gripping his hair as he points towards the door.
