UNEDITED

y/n's pov

today was friday, it was also the end of the last full week of school, exciting right? no, not when you have a bitch of a mom, i'll be lucky if i can escape for a few days.

"rich, you should talk to bill," i whispered, he looked down at me and nodded sighing "bill, can i talk to you for a second?" he spoke up, bill looked confused but he and richie went around the corner where they could talk alone. "do you know what their talking about?" eddie asked i shrugged, i didn't want to tell him anything, it would have to be richie's choice and he's gonna have to tell them when he's ready.

"we're gonna go y/n/n," bev says, "ya ok, see you tomorrow at the quarry," i smiled still waiting for richie "see ya," ben said "hey, you good?" stan asked "hmm? yeah i'm fine, just waiting for rich," i smiled "right, well i guess i'll see you tomorrow, tell richie i said bye," he said and i nodded, waving at him as he rode away on his bike.

a few more minutes and bill and richie came back, richie's eyes looked a little red and he rubbed them under his big glasses "bye g-g-guys, i'll see you at t-the quarry," bill said before turning around with his bike and riding away "so how'd it go?" i asked taking his hand, he looked down at me with a soft smile and intertwined our fingers as we started walking "he's gonna ask his parents, he doesn't think it should be a problem though," richie told me "what did you tell him?" i wondered "i told him about my family, and i told him that i needed a place to stay for a bit, i didn't tell him about you, i didn't want to overstep anything or tell him something you didn't want him knowing," he said and i smiled, grateful that he hadn't said anything about me, but also i was really proud of him, it takes a lot to tell someone what you're going through "that's good rich, i'm proud of you, what you did must have been fucking scary," i sighed "ya, it definitely wasn't easy," he chuckled dryly.

we walked in silence for a few minutes before i started hearing things, like kids laughing, but it was creepy, i looked around for a second, seeing nothing and continued walking with richie, it got louder though, and i stoped this time, richie stopped too looking at me, but not like i was crazy, it was the same way i looked at him, searching to see if he'd heard what i was hearing "y/n, are you hearing that too?" he asked, i didn't say anything i just nodded looking around again, it was getting louder and louder, i was terrified, but i couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, everyone carried on with their day, no one noticed "richie...?" i called, the fear evident in my voice, he was starring at something, it was the sewers, there was something, or someone in the sewers "y/n, lets go," he yelled grabbing my hand again and running, i almost fell a few times but the farther we ran the quieter the noises got.

"you ok?" richie asked as we stopped on the road in front of my house "y-yeah, i'm ok, are you?" i asked out of breath "i'm fine," he sighed letting go of my hand "what the fuck just happened?" i asked "i'm not sure," he said honestly, i thought back to the other day, something similar happened right outside school.

we stood outside my house for a bit, i told him what i'd seen the other day, i explained the clown like figure i saw, he told me that's the same thing he'd seen moments ago in the sewers, what the hell is going on? i can't be going crazy if someone else is seeing it too, what if this has to do with all the missing kids? but how?
