Suck It Up (Mike Hanlon x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 8 (It's All Okay Now)

(Y/n's pov)

"I love being your personal doorman, really," Richie complains as he rides his bike around the Losers Club and I who are walking our bikes down the street.

I roll my eyes as Richie goes on, "Can you idiots have taken any longer?"

"Shut up, Richie," Eddie says, seeming to be annoyed as much as me. "Yeah! Shut up, Richie!" Stanley agrees.

"Oh, okay! Trash the trashmouth! I get it!" Richie yells, still riding around us. "Hey, I wasn't the one scrubbing the bathroom floor and imagining her sink went all Eddie's mom's vagina on Halloween," he says. "Beep, beep, Richie," I say annoyed which makes him stick his tongue out at me.

"She didn't imagine it," Bill retorts which makes all of us stop walking, along with Richie. "I s-s-saw something too."

I stare at Bill, my heart staring to race. Did everyone see it?

"You saw blood, too?" Stanley asks, staring at Bill. He looks back at Stan, shaking his head. "Not blood."

"I saw G-g-georgie," Bill stutters and looks at the ground. "It seemed so real. I mean, it seemed like him, but there was this..." he trails off.

"The clown," Eddie finishes, looking around at us. "Yeah, I saw him, too."

I stare at the ground and grip my bike handle with a sweaty hand. "I did too," I say softly while Ben and Stanley nod their heads.

"Wait, can only virgins see this stuff?" Richie asks with a confused look. "Is that why I'm not seeing this shit?"

I roll my eyes again when I hear distant yelling.

"Oh shit, that's Belch Huggin's car," Eddie says and I look over to the trees. "We should probably get out of here. Yeah." 

I feel my heart starting to race more. If he sees me with them....He's probably bullying another kid though. I have the urge to save them.

"Wait, isn't that the homeschooled kid's bike?" Bill asks, pointing at the bike that is laying on the ground. "Yeah, that's Mike's," Eddie agrees.

"You got to be fucking kidding me," I say. All my fear has gone away and it's now replaced with anger. I drop my bike and run to the trees.

I hear Beverly say that we should save him, but I could care less if they came with me.

I run down the hill and to the stream to see Mike's head being smashed into a pile of meat by my boyfriend and his friends. They throw insults at Mike as he tries to get up. Belch kicks him in the face which makes him fall back. Henry then gets on top of Mike and grabs a rock,  attempting to smash it on his head.

I pick up a rock, along with Bev and we throw it at Henry. We both hit his head, standing at the opposite side of the river.

"Nice throw," Stanley says as Mike crawls over to us quickly. Henry is picked up by Vic and Belch. He furrows his eyebrows, seeing me.

"So you're hanging out with these losers now?" Henry says angrily as I take a step towards him. I felt a rush of bravery with my friends.
