We arrived to Neibolt. We saw as Bill slowly walked up the steps. We dropped our bikes down. "Bill! You can't go in there, this is crazy!" Beverly shouted. Bill turned around. "Look, you don't have to go in there with me. But what happens when another Georgie goes missing? Or another Betty, or another Ed Corcoran, or- one of us? Are you just gonna pretend it isn't happening just like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home and all I see is that Georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals, but- he isn't. So we're going in there for me. It's easier than walking into my own." Bill said just before wiping away a tear.

That made my heart turn sore. He turned around and continued walking up to the door. "Wow." Richie blurted. "What?" Beverly asked. "He didn't stutter once."

We all then started to follow. "Wait!" Stan stopped. "Uh.. shouldn't we have some people to keep watch? You know just in case something bad happens?" He asked. That's the worst excuse ever. "Huh-Who wants to stay out here?" Bill asked. I raised my hand. I checked to look if everyone else was on the same page. Beverly kept her hand down.

"Fuck." Richie sighed.

Bill started picking straw from the lawn. He grabbed seven. They all closed their eyes picking one. Eddie had gotten a short straw. Then Richie. Then it came down to me.

Please, please, please, please. Was repeated in my head. I opened my eyes to see a short straw. I then looked up to the broken down house. I walked up as Bill, Richie, and Eddie followed.

"Why'd I have to pull the short straw?" Richie asked himself. "You guys are lucky your not measuring dicks." Richie sighed. "Shut up, Richie." Eddie said. I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. All I could hear where my thoughts telling me 'you're gonna die.'

Eddie took a puff of his inhaler. "Don't breathe through your mouth." Richie muttered. "Why?" Asked Eddie. "Because then you're eating it." Richie scrunched his face up. Eddie started gagging. I looked over at a trail of broken glass. "Richie?"

I turned to see Richie starring at a paper in his hands. We walked over to him. "I-It says I'm missing." Richie stuttered. "Yuh-You're not missing." Bill assured trying to pull the paper out of his hands. "That's my shirt, that's my hair," Richie wouldn't let go. "THATS MY FACE! IT SAYS IM MISSING! AM I GONNA GO MISSING? OH MY GOD!" Richie screamed, shaking in fear.

Will he go missing?

I thought. I was just as scared as him. I don't wanna lose anyone else. Not again.

"LISTEN TO ME RICHIE." Bill stopped Richie. "You're not missing. It's trying to mess with you." Bill told him.

"Hello?" A voice cried.

Betty.

The others seemed hesitant to follow, but I wasn't. "BETTY?" I called. I ran up the stairs. "Woah, y/n! Wait!" Bill chased after me. I made it to the hallway. I saw him in the door. She was on the floor. She looked the same as she did that night. "Betty." I whispered, as tears fell. The others caught up. She got pulled away, screaming.

I ran after her. "BETTY? WHERE DID YOU GO?" I asked. Spinning around in circles. "Where the fuck is she? She was just here." Richie asked.

We heard a slam behind us. The door shut. Eddie was on the other side. "EDDIE!" Bill screamed. "EDDIE!?" "EDDIE!" They screamed pounding on the door. I was stuck again. I fell for it. I fell for it and it may have cost my friend's life. It's my fault. I did this. I'm selfish. I started to quietly sob as I watched the two scream in terror trying to open the door. Eddie hasn't been responding.

The air became heavy. It was hard to breathe. I'm gonna be the reason we all get killed. I'm so stupid. I need to get to Eddie.

"Eddie?" Richie whispered. I turned. Was it Eddie? Shit. It wasn't. I ran over trying to get Richie out of that room. Then the door slammed again. Shit. "RICHIE!" I screamed. I started to pound the door. I was covered in tears. "RICHIE OPEN IT!" My voice croaked through my tears. "I CANT!" He screamed back. Then I heard him scream. Bill turned my body around. "Y-Y/n! You need to calm down! We-We're gonna fuh-find them!" He told me. I continued to cry.
