"Nice throw"Stanly gaped as Henry fell, Bev's rock hitting him
"Thanks"
The group picked up rocks as you helped Mike get up  to your level before grabbing your own rock.
"You losers are trying too hard, she'll do you you just gotta ask nicely"Henley smirked grabbing his crotch with both hands, "like I did"
Ben screamed as he threw a rock.
"Fuck off you asshole!"You hissed
"The fuck"Henry stumbled, "Go on her em!"
Rocks began to fly around as much as curses and you watched as Eddie jumped down to get closer, rocks hitting the Bowers as they failed to hit the losers, your arms wrapped around Eddie as one rock nearly hit him pulling him into the water the rocks hurting your back as you landed, the Bowers running off moments later.
"Thanks (Y/N)..."Eddie whispered
"No problem"You winced
"Go blow your dad you mullet wearing asshole!!"Richie yelled, middle fingers up as you scrambled up off the rocks with walking off with the group, helping Mike get away

"Thanks guy but- you shouldn't have done that he'll be at you too now..."Mike sighed
"Oh no no no Bowers, his always after us"Eddie corrected
"True"You shrugged following him down the trail
"I guess that's on t-t-thing we all have in common"Bill chuckled
"Yeah homeschool welcome to the losers club"Richie yelled
"Cause everyone totally want to join"You laughed

"They say he found part of his hand all chewed up.."
You yanked Richie's arm handing the instrument back to the marching man as you pulled him to the rest of the losers.
"What the fuck sis"
"He asked to borrow a pencil once..."
"I-Its like she's been f-forgotten because his missing"Bill said letting go of the MISSING posters on the wall letting Edwards fall back down
"You think it's ever going to end?"
"What are you guys talking about?"Richie asked
"What we always talk about"Stan said
"I actually think it will end, for a little while at least."Ben mumbled
"What do you mean?"
You looked beside you to Eddie and Richie  who held ice creams, stealing Eddies.
"Hey!"
"So I was going over all my Derry research, over the main events"Ben said listing events, " I realised this stuff seems to happen every-"
"Every twenty seven years"Bill cut in
"Okay so let me get it straight, it comes out to eat kids from wherever and then what it just goes into hibernation?"Richie pushed
"Maybe it's like what do you call it.....those bugs that come out every seventeen years?"Stan asked
"My grandfather thinks this town is cursed"Mike started, "he says that all the bad things that happen in this town are because of one thing, an evil thing that feeds off the people of Derry"
"But it can't be one thing"Stan looked down, "we all saw something different."
"Maybe or maybe it know what scares us most and that's what we see"Mike pointed out
"I-I-I saw a guy...he was like a walking infection"Eddie sighed
"But you didn't b-because it isn't real"Stan looked to him, "none of this is, not Eddies infection, not Bill seeing Georgie, o-or the woman I-I keep seeing..."
"Is she hot?"Richie asked
"No Richie she's not hot! Her face is all messed up"Stan gulped, "none of this makes any sense they're all like bad dreams..."
"I don't think so I know the difference between a- a bad dream and real life okay?"Mike pressed
"What did you see? You saw something too?"Eddie asked
"Eddie!"You whisper hissed
"Yes. You know that building that burnt down, I was inside of it when it did..."Mike said sadly, "before I was rescued my mum and dad where trapped in the next room over from me, they were pushing and pounding on the door, trying to get to me...but it was too hot when the fireman finally found me, the skin on their hands had already melted down to the bone...we're all afraid of something.."
"You got that right"Richie said
"Rich what are you afraid of?"Eddie asked
"Clowns"You answered when Richie didn't
