It's just birds ||4||

       ~It's been one week since Bev talk to them~

(Eddie's inner monologue): it's been weird at school this past week. we don't talk often anymore. we're all trying to act as normal as possible but it's hard, especially for Ben

(Richie's inner monologue): I'm bored and alone and I want somebody to love. I wish people would talk...I miss hanging out with everyone, especially Ed's. I want to text him, but I know he can't hangout , and his mom probably wouldn't even let him text back

~back to when they're at school and it's their last hour~

(Stan) "hey Bill"  Stan stops at bill's locker

(Bill) "h h-hey"

(Stan) "so would you like to hangout with me and Mike tonight? You know...since no one's talking to each other"

(Bill) "yeah, that would be great!"

(Stan) "ok. we can come to my house. you can ride with me if you want"

(Bill) "y-yeah"

(Stan) "well, I better go to my last class. just meet me outside"

(Bill) "ok"

~last hour is over~

Bill heads outside. he's looking for Stan, but he can't find him. he looks over and sees Henry chasing someone. Bill hears someone yelling in that same direction and starts to run towards him...it's Stan. Henry starts to beat Stan up punching him left and right, not giving him a chance to react. Bill runs and jumps on Henry's back trying to hold him back from making Stan any worse. Suddenly, Mike comes up and punches Henry in the face I get off his back and Henry falls to the ground. I run to Stan. his face is bloody and bruised

(Mike) "come on we need to go before he gets up"
I pick up Stan and I hold him until we get to his car, where I lay him down in the backseat

(Bill) "d d-do we need to take him to the hospital?"

(Stan) "no" he says it low

(Mike) "but your bleeding and I think you might have a broken bone"

(Stan) "just take me to my house. I just need some ice" you can hear the pain in his voice

~they get to Stan's house~

Bill Goes around to get Stan out of the backseat. he picks him up and Mike opens the door. I take him to his room and lay him on his bed.

(Stan) "There's ice packs in the freezer"

(Bill) "I'll go get them" he brings them back and hands them to Mike so he can put them on his head

(Bill) "I'll go get him a warm wet rag and a towel" he comes back and gets on the side of his bed and starts to lightly pat his bloody wounds with the rag. Bill noticed he was bleeding under his shirt

(Bill) "Stan I'm going to t-take your shirt off. you're bleeding somewhere t-th-there" Stan nods his head in consent.

(Mike) "Stan..I really think you broke your arm"

(Stan) "I'm fine. it's just a sprain" Bill puts his hands on Stan's chest and unbuttons his shirt. he takes it all the way off and Bill starts to pat his chest softly.

(Mike) "we'll this is a crappy hangout" Stan Starts to laugh

(Bill) "why would Henry hurt you for no reason?"

(Mike) "do you need a reason for being a asshole.."

(Bill) "YES!"

(Stan) "I was waiting for you guys by my car and Henry walked over.. I was just looking at my bird book and he grabbed it and starts calling me a faggot"

(Mike) "he called you a faggot for reading about birds..?"
Stan thought for a moment

(Stan) "yes..."
They all stood there for a moment

(Mike) "let me see the book"

(Stan) "what??"

(Mike) "Stan.. there HAD to be a deeper reason for this. Please just let me see it."

(Stan) "Mike. Not everything has a deep meaning. IT WAS JUST BIRDS."

(Mike) "your book is in the kitchen, right"
Stan slowly nodded

(Mike) "I'm sorry Stan.. but... Bill"
Bill looked up at him

(Mike) "go see what's in the book"
(Stan) "BILL, THATS INVASION OF PRIVACY"
Bill felt guilt

(Bill) "s-sorry Stan!!"

He ran off into the kitchen, looking for the book.
He found it on the counter and looked through it.

(Bill) "w..what?..."

It wasn't a bird book, but instead a sketchbook. Stan's sketchbook.
He had to admit, Stan was a good artist.
He curiously flipped through stopping on one page..
A sketch of Mike.
Written beside it was "M+S"
He quickly closed the sketchbook and ran back into the room.

(Mike) "so...?"

(Bill) "n-nothing there... just b-birds!!"
Bill looked over at Stan. he looked surprised, relieved, and confused all at once

(Stan) "see"
He looked at Mike

Stan: "just some birds"
