Richie didn't only see the death of Eddie in the dead lights

He saw how all the losers would die

It was horrible and graphic

Stanley uris. Slit his wrists in the bathtub.

Eddie Kaspbrak. Impaled.

Mike Hanlon. Drowned.

Bill Denbrough. Fell of his own stage and impaled.

Beverly and Ben Hanscom. Burned alive.

Richie tozier. Hung himself.

He saw it all. It was horrific.

Stan laying in the tub while he bled out.

Eddie being exited because he finally killed IT and then getting stabbed.

Mike gasping and screaming for air.

Bill screaming in pain as the prop stabbed him right through his chest.

Beverly and Ben screaming for help as their flesh burned.

Richie regretting his choice kicking and swinging trying to get the noose off his neck.

He woke up in a cold sweat

Beverly got up next to him

"Rich is everything okay?" Bev asked Richie genuinely worried

Richie got off the bed and raced to the bathroom

He leaned over the toilet throwing up

Richie hated when he would throw up It was disgusting to him

He felt a hand rub circles on his back slowly

All Richie could see was all of his friends dying. Screaming and crying. He didn't like what he saw.

Just thinking about it made him throw up more

He heard voices behind him. He didn't know what they were saying but they sounded worried.

Once Richie was done throwing up his stomach felt horrible.

"Come here honey.." he was pulled into a hug by none other then Beverly marsh

"M'sorry.." Richie managed to slur out

"For what Rich?"

"Waking you up.."

"We're losers Richie we have to stick together" Beverly always had a soft spot for Richie. He was like the brother she never had.

"Here Richie drink some water" who was that? Ben? Yeah definitely Ben.

"No" Richie said turning his head away

"Come on man just a little bit then we can go back to bed."

"Mmm fine" Richie took the cup

Bev helped him a bit since his hands are still shaking

He took a sip and put it down shaking his head as if the water had a weird taste

"Everything okay Richie?" Beverly was trying to be gentle as if Richie could shatter at any moment

Richie shook his head again finally letting the tears out.

It broke bev's heart to see her friend in a state like this. She comforts Richie as much as she can.

Letting him cry on her shoulder

She definitely knew that he needed to let it out

He just lost his two best friends who wouldn't be crying like this

But she also knew if this was her Richie would be comforting her just like she is to him

When Richie finally stops sobbing he wipes his nose holding on to Beverly like his life depended on it

"It's okay sweetheart your safe..." Beverly cooed at Richie rubbing her hand up and down his back

"Bev let me take him to be pretty sure I can carry him to bed" Ben whispered softly to Beverly

She nodded slightly

"Richie honey let Ben carry you" she let him go and gave him reassuring smile

Ben grabs Richie from bev's arms

Richie closes his eyes as he falls asleep once again faster then the last time

"Hey is he okay Bev?" Mike asked her

"He'll be fine the best we can do right now is be here with him" Beverly said to her friend reassuring him

He nodded.

Somehow bill was still asleep he was always a heavy sleeper

He'd always be the first to fall asleep at the sleepover.

That night Richie slept like a baby. His face buried in bills chest

He didn't have another nightmare after that.

Beverly was right Richie would be fine as long as he had the losers by his side.
