Later that day, I was napping on the couch when I heard a loud bang it made me jump and fall onto the floor with a loud thud I looked every which way freaking out....

I then scrambled back up to look outside and I saw Henry with a gun shooting at glass bottles, I then got up and walked out the front door and when I looked back at where he was with his friends he had Belch holding a cat in place for him to shoot
"HENRY!!!!!"
I shout making Henry flinch and look at me
"What the fuck are you doing?! Dont you dare shoot that cat!"
I shout at him
"Ah come on (Y/N) it's just a dumb cat"
He said waving the gun around
"What are you doing with dad's gun?!"
I ask him
"I'm cleaning it like he asked"
He answered
"Uh huh...and when was shooting a cat in the mix hmm?"
I ask him, he got agitated and I tried to take it from him and he was to tall for me to reach it
"Give it to me Henry!!!!"
I demand but he kept it just out of my reach
"You gunna make me?"
Henry asked, I then without warning crooked my elbow and shoved it into his stomach making him make an oof sound and he dropped the gun and I took it into my hand
"As a matter of fact yes I am"
I say , I then cock the gun back and point it at him and he starts to freak out
"You wouldn't kill your big brother would ya?..."
He asked, I was just quiet but before I could answer I heard dad slam the door of his car
"Have you kids seen my gun?!"
He shouts, I then pull the gun back
"You owe me"
I whisper then turn and give it to him
"Here dad Henry just finished cleaning it for you"
Dad raised an eyebrow and took it from me
"Did he now?"
He felt the tip where it was still warm from the firing, Henry stood up and looked off to the side he never could look dad in the eye he feared him like a cat feared water, he then shot it at Henry's feet making him cover his face in fear and I flinch
"Dad the hell?!"
I ask, he glanced at me
"Look long and hard (Y/N)....only takes a little fear to make a paper man crumble..."
He said then turned and went back into the house and shut the door behind him.....

I then turn to Henry who was still hiding his face, I walked up to him and gently pulled his hands away from his face
"Oh Henry...."
I say disappointed
"I told you not to...I was trying to save ya a beating"
I finished, he got agitated at me and pushed me a little
"YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO IM OLDER!!"
He shouted and I shoved him back
"I MAY BE YOUNGER BUT AT LEAST I HAVE A FUCKING MIND TO KNOW BETTER THEN TO SHOOT OFF DAD'S GUN !"
I shout back at him, Henry got anger in his eyes and got closer to me and my heart pounded
"What you gunna do Henry?.....gunna hit me again give me another to match the one I already got?"
I ask referring to my bandaged cheek, Henry didnt move for a moment or so then he groaned loudly and stormed off with his friends and drove off
"That's what I thought "
I whisper to myself....

It had been a few hours and Henry still hadn't come home so I decided to leave the house for awhile, riding my bike and all of a sudden I hear screaming and shouting I stop my bike to see the losers club fighting and Bill punching Richie in the jaw...

Immediately I lay my bike down and run over and get between them
"Alright alright break it off you guys jeez what's gotten into you?"
I ask
"This is all bullshit! I never wanted to go into the Neibolt house in the first place and Bill is thinking that hes gunna find his brother who CLEARLY is dead! Hes dead Bill you couldn't save him but you can still save yourself!"
He shouted
"T-Take it b-b-back!"
Billy shouted
"Guys knock it off!!!"
I shout at them,
"Dont you see this is what it wants....it wants to divide us!! We were together when we hurt it that's why were still alove!!"
Shouted Bev at the boys
"Yeah and I intend to keep it that way!!"
Richie said pushing me and Bill outta the way
"What do you mean by it?"
I ask Bev, she looked at me
"There's an evil clown that's in that house that almost killed us!"
She said pointing to the creepy run down house, I look up at it then back at her and saw all of them scatter out and ride off on their bikes. What was so scary about this it thing anyway?....

When they all were out of sight I went to the gate of the house and pushed it open and walked up the stairs and walked through it and looked around all that was in it was rats and cob webs and an awful stink of mold and mildew, I glanced around and could hear something eerie....was it music?...

I followed the sound and it led to a celler door and I opened it slowly and the music was a bit louder I walked down the stairs and to the far end I saw what looked to be a really old well, I walked towards it and slowly looked down it. It looked to be almost a never ending dark void, I took a rock and dropped it down the well waiting to hear a clank or a splash when it hit the bottom I moved my hair out of my ear's way and I didnt hear anything, wow deep well, but the music was gone....

Thinking i was just hearing things, I walked back up the stairs and out of the house I didnt see anything in there other then many reasons to tare that place down. Soon enough I came across Bill's house, thinking maybe he'd like someone to talk to I walk up his driveway but didnt have to go far cause I saw Bill on his front steps his knees up on the steps to where they were propped up and his arms folded on tip and his head buried in them, I frowned softly and gently put a hand on his head
"Billy?.....you okay?"
I ask softly
Bill lifted his head slightly his eyes were red and puffy from crying, I sat beside him and he looked at me there was so much sorrow in them. I didnt know what to do, I gently put a hand on his back and slowly rubbed it to try and soothe him he then pulled me into a sudden embrace and held on tight to me I was taken off guard at first, but I then slowly wrapped my arms around him and held him back
"Why....why can't I find him....why...."
He muffled into my shoulder
"I.....I dont know Billy....I wish I could give you an answer..."
I say softly, we stayed in that tight hug for the longest time it seemed like forever but I held him for as long as he needed it, all this fighting and anger wasn't meant to happen but Bill had it clouded into his mind that Georgie may still be alive....but at this rate the chances of finding him alive are almost slim to none I feel so bad for Bill ever since this all happened he has blamed himself for it....

"It may not seem like it now...but things will be okay Billy...."
I say softly trying to comfort him, it seemed to calm him a bit cause he took a slow steady breath and exhaled and pulled back from the hug and he looked at me and smiled a little
"Thanks....."
He said quietly
"Anything for you silly Billy"
I say trying to make him laugh, Billy rolled his eyes playfully and smiled...

I eventually left Bill's house and went back to my own, but when I got there....something didn't seem right at all....

Fearing something bad might of happened, I walked due the drive with my bike slowly and laid it in the grass and opened the door
"Henry?.......dad?......"
I got no answer but when I got to the livingroom I was shocked to find my dad in his chair bleeding, I covered my mouth and my eyes were wide it looked like his throat was cut I start panicking and looking around to see if the perpetrator was still in the house....

I turn and run into a blood stained Henry his eyes slightly wide and his hands shaking
"Henry?!....my god what happened?!"
I ask, he had a knife in his hand and had blood on his face, I looked at my dad then back at Henry
"Did....did you do this?...."
I ask my heart beating loudly in my ears. Henry came towards me with the knife in hand and I back up and trip falling on my butt with a loud thud and I scooted across the floor backwards and ran into a wall and I put my hands up in front of my face
"PLEASE HENRY....PLEASE DON'T......PLEASE PLEASE!!!!"
I scream through my tears, he eventually looked at the knife then back at me seeing the restraint in his actions through my fingers as I was still shielding myself with my hands to my face, he then ran out of the house and I was still freaking out horribly. I scrambled to my feet and ran to my dad and put my fingers to his throat and felt no pulse....he was dead I start to scream and cry trying to make sense of this, at what just happened moments ago....

I hid in the corner and got into a fetal position and cried holding my head and trying not to scream, what had become of my protector?......
