45. I'm The Gay One!

June 30, 1985

Music blasted music in Eleven's room as Richie and Max danced along to it. As Eleven sat on her bed, her looking at magazines.

"Oh, you found Ralph Macchio." Max says jumping onto the bed beside El.

"Macchio?" El asks sounding confused by the name.

"Yeah, he's the karate kid plus he's from The Outsiders He's so fucking hot."

"I bet he's a amazing kisser. Is Mike a good kisser?" Max asks. Richie grabs the magazine from Eleven's hands and sits onto the floor.

"I mean I'm not really sure. He's my first boyfriend."

"Remember, he's your ex-boyfriend." Richie says reminding her as he flipped through the magazine with Ralph Macchio.

"Hey, don't worry about it El. I'm sure he'll come crawling back to you in no time, begging for forgiveness." Max tells her. "Man I would fucking die to see their faces right now."

El begins to smile; Richie looks up towards her understanding immediately. El gets up from her bed and walks towards her radio. Messing around with the channels until it was blasting static.

Eleven grabs a blindfold from her dresser and sits onto the floor by Richie. Richie rolls his eyes slightly. Not wanting to be involved with teenage romance. His mind wandering, thinking about if Eddie was back at the Wheeler's.

"I see them." Eleven says suddenly. Richie not realizing she had already gone into the void.

"What are they doing?" Max asks sitting down beside her.

"They're eating right now." She takes a long pause, taking in a deep breath. "They're saying that we are species. That we're emotion, not logic."

"Excuse me!" Richie shouts. Max turns at him looking shocked. "What?"

"I never took you for a person that respects us." Max says.

"Okay, I may make a ton of sex jokes and shit like that. But I respect you guys, I'm not some fucking idiot like my cousin. I'd probably even fight over the fact you guys are the better gender. I mean you guys literally can basically shit out humans."

Eleven suddenly rips off her blindfold, falling to the ground, laughing. Max begins laughing as well, Richie just shaking his head, a smile on his face.

Richie however hears the front door opening, being confused. But he realized it was probably just Jim getting back home.

He gets up from the floor giving Max and El the magazine. "Well, I probably should get going. Call me if you need me or something." Richie starts stretching, causing his shirt sleeves to roll up slightly. He then smooths down his vest.

"Alright, we'll probably see you tomorrow then," Max says. However, the three of them hear the door slam closed and someone grunting

"Hey! Hey!" Hopper slurs as he shouts. "I said leave the fucking door open three inches." He slams Eleven's door open making the three of them jump.

Hopper's eyes look wild as they land on Richie. Hopper grabs onto Richie's shirt, gripping it tightly in his fist. His other balled into a fist, it ready to be thrown. "I told you, Michael-" He's cut off immediately by Richie.

"Okay, okay, wow. I'm not that dickhead. I'm the fucking gay one. You know I suck dick. Mike's not even here."

Hopper looks at Richie confused. But he sees that it wasn't Mike and lets go of Richie's shirt.

"Um, Max wanted to have a sleepover. Is that alright?"

"Uh yeah, yeah that's cool. That's really cool." Hopper says.

"Do you need something?" Max asked.

"No, no I'll just uh, leave, I'll let you, you know I'll just leave." He says as he closes the door leaving the three of them confused.

Richie pulls his car into the Wheeler's drive and pulls to a stop. However, his eyes feel extremely heavy, he closes them and takes a deep breath in.

Richie opens him again, his feet cold and wet. The darkness surrounding him. He looks around confused wondering what the shining was trying to show him this time.

He looks in front of him seeing a dark blue car. He slowly walks towards it. Seeing the window was shattered. He walks towards the back of the car, seeing the trunk was open.

Richie continues to walk away from the car. Seeing someone kneeling over someone. Richie continues to stare until the person turns towards Richie.

Billy stares at Richie with his eyebrows furrowed. However, he then starts turning into dust.

"Hello?" Richie yells. He then sees Pennywise flash in front of him, his mouth protruding a smile his buck, yellow teeth showing, the teeth stained from blood. His face seems to start flashing and morphing into the Mind Flayer.

"A day free of girls."

"I love you."

"BILLY!"

"You just saved the world!"

"I'll never forget you, my love."

"It's not my fault you don't like girls!"

"All for you."

"This is all for you two."

"You spied on me! You spied on him!"

"ТЫ СКАЗАЛ ВСЕГДА И НАВСЕГДА"
