nine | rock war!

"No, I love being your personal doorman, really, could you idiots have taken any longer?" Richie asked as he rode circles around the group of you walking your bikes down the road.

After the awkward moment in the bathroom, the group had left Bev's apartment and was now walking down the road back to your homes, listening to Richie complain. You would have told him to be quiet if it weren't for the butterflies you felt in your stomach right now at the thought of almost kissing one of your best friends.

"All right, shut up, Richie," Eddie snapped.

"Yeah, shut up Richie," Stanley agreed.

"Oh, okay, trash the trashmouth, I get it. Hey, I wasn't the one scrubbing the bathroom floor and imagining that Beverly's sink went all Eddie's mom's vagina on Halloween," He complained again as he rode another circle around the group.

"She didn't imagine it," You spoke up suddenly, causing the group to stop walking and Richie to stop riding, "I saw something t-to."

The memories came flooding back to you. The fire, your mother... that fucking clown.

"You saw blood too?" Stanley asked, his voice cracking.

You looked at him and shook your head slightly, "not blood."

You took a deep breath, before looking down at the ground, and your hands began shaking uncontrollably.

"I-I saw my m-m-mom."

Everyone seemed to tense after you said that, all except Beverly and Ben, who didn't know about your parents yet. Richie looked at you with a sad expression as you continued.

"It seemed s-so real. I saw the f-fire. Then she walked out and... and she y-yelled things at me. Then... it changed. There was this..." You didn't continue, and silence fell upon the group.

"The clown," Eddie murmured, and you flicked your head to look at him. Eddie looked around a bit, before looking back at the ground, "yeah. I s-saw him, too."

"I d-d-did as well," Bill spoke up, and you turned to look at him, before averting your attention around the group.

Everyone except Richie nodded.

"Wait, can only virgins see this stuff? Is that why I'm not seeing this shit?" He asked, gesturing to himself.

Before anyone could say anything, you heard distant yelling, and you turned towards the edge of the road where the trees started. Belch Huggin's car was carelessly parked outside, which meant he was inside the forest, and it didn't sound like he was alone.

"Oh shit. That's Belch Huggin's car," Richie voiced your thoughts as your all examined the vehicle.

"W-we should probably get out of here," Eddie warned.

"Yeah."

"Wait. Isn't that the homeschooled kid's bike?" Bill spoke up, and you took note of the tipped over bike beside the car.

"Yeah, that's- Mike's," you started, before realizing that he was most likely in trouble, "Oh my god, we have to help him!"

You dropped your bike at the side of the road and began running towards the trees, ignoring the yell's for you to come back behind you, and you disappeared behind the forest.

"Oh m-my god, she n-never listens!" Bill stuttered.

"Get to her before she does anything stupid!" Stanley exclaimed before propping his bike up on the stand, and running after you, the whole group following behind him.

You ran through the forest before walking out into a river bed beside a flowing river. Henry and his mates were shoving Mike's head down into what looked like a bag of raw meat, and you almost threw up at the sight.

"Eat that meat!" Henry yelled at him, and your eyes widened.

"Eat it, bitch!" Belch yelled after him, while he forced his head down further.

Mike seemed to look at something in the distance for a little bit, before standing up and trying to run, but he was knocked back down by Henry onto his back. He held a stone above him, ready to smash him with it while the rest of the boys cheered him on.

"Y/n-!" you heard Richie exclaim as he came into view a few meters away.

You didn't know what came over you, but you picked up a rather large stone that was lying at your feet and threw it.

It hit Henry right in the face.

He got knocked over, and everyone over there looked over at you.

Stanley came to stand next to you, puffing from running, and he marveled at you, "nice throw!"

"Thanks," you replied, before picking up another. You heard the rest of the Losers club come and stand around you, Beverly standing right beside you as she smirked at you, also picking up a stone.

Mike crawled towards you, getting away from Henry. You were just glad he was okay. Bill came and stood on the other side of you.

Henry stood back up and noticed the group of you standing there, and began walking forward. You took notice of the bloody scar on his head from the rock you threw, and you felt a rush of pride.

"You're trying too hard, Y/n. I'll do you if you want-," He started saying, and your eyes widened.

"-just like I did to Beverly," he finished and ran a hand along his groin. You almost gagged at the action, fingers digging into the stone. Bill placed a hand on your forearm, a silent plead to 'calm down and not do anything you would regret'.

That's when you heard Ben let out an anger-filled scream, and throw the rock he was holding right at Henry's face. It hit him in the head, and he let out a "What the fuck?!".

Then Beverly threw a rock as well.

Then Stanley.

"Come on, get em', fuck!" Henry yelled as he tried to dodge the stones being thrown at him.

You launched your stone as well, watching it hit Belch in the chest.

"ROCK WAR!" Richie yelled, just as he was hit in the face with a stone.

It was harder then it looked. Trying to throw rocks while having them hurling at you left, right and center were really difficult. By the end of the fight, you had a bloody cheek, but getting hit in the face once was worth it once you saw the injuries on the Henry and his mates.

You had jumped in the water with Eddie during the 'battle', and now you were standing there trying to catch your breath while you leaned on your knees. They had screamed a lot of profanities at you during the fight and you almost laughed at how ridiculous they sounded.

Henry was laying on the ground with countless wounds dotting his body.

You slowly turned to look at Bill, who was looking at you with a worried expression, before he walked up and grabbed your hand. He began leading you away from Henry, into the forest and back onto the road.

"Go blow your dad, you mullet-wearing asshole!" You heard Richie exclaim somewhere behind you. You laughed lightly as Bill led you back towards your bike.

He turned and examined your face for a bit, eyes landing on the wound that Henry's rock had caused. He pursed his lips for a bit, before smiling at you.

"It sh-should be fine," he said quietly, "j-just put some i-ice on it when you g-g-get home."
