Part 23

"Honey, you look stunning!" her Mom exclaimed and her Dad nodded with a big smile over his face, arms crossed. "So? Who's the lucky guy?" he said, and her Mom laughed as she looked at Y/N's Dad and back to her. "You'll just have to wait and see," she said as she flashed her pearl white teeth in yet another smile. A ding came from the living room, and Y/N whipped her head back. "Oh, that's him! I'll get the door!" she exclaimed, and her heels clipped and clapped across the wood floor as she ran to open the door. She opened it, to see Bill all dressed up in a suit and a tie, with a dandelion that looked like it'd been through hell. "H-Hi, Y/N," he said. "First of a-a-all, I'm sorry about the flower, I f-f-f-forgot to get some and so I just p-p-picked one from my backyard..." he said with a smile as her face lit up. She didn't know it, but her parents had already walked up to the door and Y/N's face scrunched up in confusion as Bill's eyes went wide. "W-?" she was about to ask. "Oh hi Bill!" she heard her Mom say and she turned around. "H-Hi..." he said, with a small nervous smile. 

"We won't keep you any longer. You guys should be on your way now," her Mom said and her Dad nodded his head. "Curfew is later today, so feel free to be back by 10 instead of 7," and he hugged her and planted a kiss to her forehead before seeing them off.  "But Bill, she must be home by then, understand?" he said, his voice suddenly turning stern. Bill's eyes widened more and quickly nodded with another small smile. 

"So, Bill," she said curiously as she heard the door slam shut. How the fuck did you convince my Dad to let you go with me? My Dad's only said YES to 1 guy out of about 20, and that 1 guy is you. What's your secret?" she asked with a laugh. "W-Well, I showed him my grades, and had a whole speech prepared, yet I only got through about half of it before he halted me up. I thought he would say NO, and I was f-f-freaking out; but he e-e-ended up saying yes!" he exclaimed happily. She smiled. "Huh. I'll have to keep that in mind. In case I end up I end up with another guy, ya know," she said as she laughed at his face. "Hey!" he exclaimed. 

"Well anyway...we're here!" she exclaimed, and his face turned. She waved at Richie and Eddie, who were slow dancing together, even though the beat was a fast, quirky song. Beverly and Ben were dancing, and she laughed as Beverly turned around and Ben's wide eyes met hers, clearly mouthing "HELP" but he was still a blushing mess, like usual. Stanley was devouring a icecream cone and Richie pulled him in to dance with them. 

"Well? I guess we dance," Y/N said with a smile, and smiled wider as a slow song came on. "Slow d-d-dancing isn't my f-forte, but okay," he said, as he placed one hand on her waist and she placed hers draped around his shoulders. Their foreheads met as they stared into each others' eyes, smiling. 

"So Bill, what was your first impression of me?" she asked intently. She smiled after, as he smiled. "That you were the prettiest girl I'd ever seen in my life," he said without a stutter. "I thought the same," she exclaimed with a smile. "I'd never seen anyone so smart, kind, pretty...." she said, laughing a little and he joined in. "I guess we can thank Henry Bowers for 1 thing, he allowed us to meet, I guess," she exclaimed. He nodded his 

She thought hard before going for it. "Hey Bill, can I...tell you something?" she asked in a small and quiet voice. "Y-Yeah, go for it," he said. 

"Well, okay. I just wanted to say that...I've loved you since the first minute I saw you. But when I see you and Beverly, I don't know what to think. You love her, don't you? Sometimes I think you love me, but a small voice in my head always tells me you love her," she said sadly, the smile fading from her lips. 

"Y/N..." he said sadly. "Okay. I-In truth, I used to like her. But that was in the 3rd grade, Y/N! A-A-Also, it was really, a long time before y-you came along, really," he said, trying to console her. "I love you. A lot," he said, smiling again. 

"Okay," she said, convinced. Bill could do that to her in a few seconds of time.  

Before she could say anything else, he drew her in a passionate kiss, and when she pulled out of it she smiled. "I love you too, Billy," she said. 

They danced for a little before another question popped up in her head. 

" You know how you said you've loved me since the first minute you saw me?" he asked, and she nodded. "Yeah, what about it?" she asked. 

"Well, Y/N, I just wanted to say, I've loved you since the first second I saw you."

Okay. Abrupt end to the book. I'm sorry. I don't know if I'll be making a sequel but I hadn't updated this for a while and I wanted to finish it. I'm sorry, I really tried to end it off well. Perhaps if I get into WattPad again I'll make a sequel, but this may be the last update for a while. 

Just wanna thank those who stuck with me for the whole series again, whoever liked, commented, shared, etc. I appreciate you. If you have any suggestions for more books, please let me know by commenting. If I don't get to them, sorry about that, like I said before, this may be the last update for a while.
