*My POV*

We saw the new kid, Ben covered in blood as he tried to get up only to trip again. "Holy shit what happened to you?" Richie asked, causing Ben to pant looking up at us. I rushed out of the sewer and towards him with Richie and Stan following me. 

*3rd POV*

Patrick kept looking for Ben and kept walking, till she heard something in the sewer pipe the young teenagers were just in. He walked into it as he held his hairspray and lighter. He flicked his lighter open as he heard distant clanking.

"I hear ya, tits." Patrick said as he kept walking before spraying the hairspray on the lighter, lighting his way. "Don't think you can stay down here all damn day now." Patrick said as he lights his way once again, before he heard something.

"You found us, Patrick." A voice whispered. Patrick sprays the hairspray only to see rotting bodies of every missing kid in Derry. He screams. Patrick ran for it and as he fell, he fell in the greywater, only to find himself trapped as he was covered in blood.

"Fuck!" Patrick yelled before he turned around quickly as he heard a girl laughing. He grabbed a nearby pipe and held it up, only to see a balloon floating towards him. He tilts his head as he sees 'I ❤ Derry'.

Soon the balloon pops, showing Pennywise covered in blood. Patrick screams as Pennywise moves towards him with his sharp teeth, before sinking them into Patrick.

*My POV*

We were riding our bikes back into town with Ben on Bill's bike. "I think it's great that we're helping the new kid, but also we need to think of our own safety. I mean, he's bleeding all over and you guys know that there's an AIDS epidemic happening right now as we speak, right? My mom's friend in New York City got it by touching a dirty pole on the subway. And a drop of AIDS blood got into his system through a hangnail. A hangnail! And you can amputate legs and arms. But how do you amputate a waist? How do you amputate a waist?" Eddie asked.

"Eddie, with all due respect, shut up." I said as Bill and I helped Ben sit down. "You guys do know that alleys are known for dirty needles that have AIDS, right?" Eddie asked. "Ah, we're screwed." Stan said.

"Richie, wait here. Come on." Bill said as me, him, Eddie, and Stan ran inside leaving Richie with Ben. "Glad I got to meet you before you died." Richie said. "BEEP, BEEP RICHIE!" I shouted, before we got into the store.

Eddie and I began grabbing multiple things of supplies as we looked through them. "Okay." Eddie mutters to himself. "Can we afford all that?" Bill asked as Stan was counting cash. "It's all we got." Stan said showing the disappointing amount of cash we had.

"You kidding me?" I asked annoyed. We began trying to think of a solution when Bill looked at Eddie. "Wait, you have an account here, don't you?" Bill asked him. "If my mom finds out I bought all this stuff for myself... I'm spending the whole rest of the weekend in the emergency room getting X-rayed." Eddie said.

Suddenly around the corner, we saw Beverly appear, and she hid a box of pads or tampons behind her back as she stared at us. "You okay?" Bill asked. "I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" Beverly asked us.

"None of your business." Stan said. "There's a kid outside. Looked like someone killed him." Eddie said. "We need supplies, but we don't have enough money." I told her, next thing we knew she was at the counter distracting Mr. Keene.

"I like your glasses, Mr. Keene. You look just like Clark Kent." Beverly said. "Oh." Mr. Keene said laughing. "I don't know about that." Mr. Keene said as I watched with Bill, Stan, and Eddie. "Can I try them?" Beverly asked and Mr. Keene looked around.

"Mmm. Sure." He said taking his glasses off and handing them to Beverly who put them on. "What do you think?" She asked looking up at him. "Well, how about that? You look just like Lois Lane." Mr. Keene said and I could tell Beverly got uncomfortable but kept the act up.

"Really?" Beverly asked with a chuckle. "Mmm. Well, here you go." Beverly said handing him his glasses back but knocking over the cigarettes in the process. "Shoot, I'm so sorry." Beverly said. "It's okay." Mr. Keene said putting his glasses back on. She glanced back at us.

The boys stumbled out as I followed, but right before the door shut behind me, I saw Beverly sneak a pack of cigarettes into her pocket. Soon enough, Eddie was fixing Ben up, but of course not without Richie arguing with him.

"Just suck the wound." Richie said. "I need to focus right now." Eddie told Richie annoyed. "You need to focus?" Richie asked him. "Yeah, can you go get me something?" Eddie asked. "Jesus! What do you need?" Richie asked.

"Go get my bifocals. I hid 'em in my second fanny pack." Eddie said. "Why do you have two fanny packs?" Stan asked Eddie. "Well, I need to focus right now and it's a long story." Eddie said and I looked up to see Bill looking at Beverly in awe. I felt a tug at my chest, but I ignored it as I half listened to Eddie and Richie.

"Um, thanks." Bill said as he tried to give Beverly some cash as a thanks. "Even-steven." Beverly said holding the pack of cigarettes up before she looked over at us. "Oh, God, he's bleeding. Oh, my god!" Stan said.

"Ben from sosh?" Beverly asked before I heard her walking towards us, but as she approached, Ben pulled his shirt down to hide his wound from Beverly. "You have to suck the wound before you apply the bandage." Richie said as we watched Beverly approach.

"Are you okay? That looks like it hurts." Beverly said concerned for Ben. "Oh. No, I'm good. I just fell." Ben said. "Yeah, right into Henry Bowers." Richie said. "Shut it, Richie." Bill stutters. "Why? It's the truth." Richie said.

"You sure they got the right stuff to fix you up?" Beverly asked Ben as he smiled a little. "You know, we'll take care of him. Thanks again, Beverly." I said smiling. "Sure. Maybe I'll see you around." Beverly said smiling.

"Yeah, we were thinking about going to the quarry tomorrow, if you wanna come." Bill said as Richie looked at him with disbelief. "Good to know. Thanks." Beverly said before walking off with a wave.

"Nice going bringing up Bowers in front of her." Stan said. "Yeah, dude, you heard what she did." Eddie told Richie. "What'd she do?" Ben asked confused. "More like "Who'd she do"? From what I hear, the list is longer than my wang." Richie said.

"That's not saying much." Stan said. "They're just rumors, Richie." I told him. "How would you know?" Richie asked. "I'm a girl. I hear what's going on in the bathroom all the time. And Gretta's a bitch." I added.

"Anyway, Bill had her back in third grade. They kissed in the school play. The review said you can't fake that sort of passion." Richie said as him and Stan looked at Bill grinning. Bill looked away to have a small smile at the thought, which caused my heart to tighten a little, but I ignored it.

"Now, pip-pip and tally-ho my good fellows, I do believe this chap requires our utmost attention. Get in there, Dr. K. Come on, fix him up." Richie said in a British accent. "Why don't you shut the fuck up, Einstein, because I know what I'm doing and I don't want you doing the British guy with me right now." Eddie said. "Suck the wound. Get in there." Richie said as Stan bent down to assist Eddie as I stood with Bill.
