Pennywise Loves Me?》It (2017)

One

Derry, Maine, my hometown. Where you don't have to worry about anything but going to school, bullies, and making sure you make the best of your life. I might be seventeen and might be leaving home for college but I'm going to miss my younger brothers, Georgie and Bill. I rather spend time with them then go out with my friends. Georgie is my baby brother, who I love so much. Bill is the middle child, who I wouldn't trade for anyone else in the world. They're my little brothers and I love them. I would do anything to protect them.

"Mom, I'm not leaving for another three weeks," I told my mom, who was crying in my room.

She wiped a tear from her face. "I know, sweetie. But my baby girl is leaving me and going to college."

I smiled sadly at her. "But that doesn't mean I'm not going to visit. We'll still have Christmas and Thanksgiving. I'll come by during Spring Break..."

"Until college life corrupts you. You'll be too tired to come visit your father and me."

"No, I won't. And I have two reasons to come back...Bill and Georgie."

Speaking of Georgie, I saw him running out of Bill's room. He had a huge smile on his face as he held up a paper boat. SS Georgie written in black ink.

"Jenny, look what Billy made me," he said with a happy face.

I couldn't help but smile. "He did. Well, she is very beautiful."

"You know she's a she?"

I chuckled. "Of course. Boats, cars...almost all manmade machines are girls." Something I've learned from my dad, even though the thought is complete bull shit. "Is Billy going to play with you?"

Georgie's smile fell. "No. He's too sick." He gave me a hopeful look. "Will you play with me?"

"Sorry, Georgie. I have a lot of homework to do before I leave. Tomorrow, ok?"

Georgie gave a small frown and pouted. I looked outside as the storm started to get worst. Rain pouring all over the neighborhood. I hope Bill brought his bike in before it could get rusted. I smiled before standing up straight and grabbed Georgie's hand. I walked with him to his room and went over to his closet. I started rummaging through it until I found his yellow coat. He always looks cute in it.

"Jenny," something whispered. I stopped in my tracks as I started to look around. "Jenny. Jenny."

There was a shadow in Georgie's closet. A small spot that was between his board games and back up rain boots. Something started to glow. These firefly colored eyes looking back at me.

"Wanna play a with me, Jenny?" the voice asked with a little laugh. "I want to you to play with me. Don't you want to play with me?"

The light started to grow brighter. I couldn't help but stare completely into them. This little pull telling me to follow the light. I wanted to follow the light. And the voice. It sounded so playful. Yet, there was something truly terrifying when it started to laugh. I don't know what was wrong with me but I wanted to go play. It was those bright eyes that started to reel me in.

You want to go and play. You want to play with the light in the shadow. Let the light bring you in.

I was about to reach into the shadow until Georgie tugged on my arm.

"You ok, Jenny?" he asked. I snapped out of my daze. The eyes weren't looking at me anymore.

"Yeah," I said before clearing my throat. I snatched Georgie's jacket out of the closet and handed it to him. "I - I just don't want you to get sick. It's pouring out there."

"I won't. I know you and BIlly will take care of me."

I smiled at him. "And that's why I love you." I pulled his hoodie up. "Now, have fun. Don't go too far. You know how mom gets."

Georgie hugged me. "I won't."

He let's go of me and started running out. I let out a happy sigh before looking back at the closet. Was I imagining things? Was I imagining those eyes staring right at me? Why did it feel so real? And more importantly...

How did it know my name?
