(Cherry Bomb's P.O.V.)

When we have everyone together again outside Mikey says, "They've got an 'It' it's all disfigured and horrifying but don't worry it's chained to the wall."

"You know Mikey, that really made me feel better when you said that the 'It' is chained up because now I know that it can't get me!"

"Yeah, Cherry Bomb has a point, Mikey!" Chunk says.

The people from the restaurant walk out arguing carrying what looked to be a large bag of who knows what, it didn't look like trash more like a person but I was probably just imagining things. I start to scream when someone hugs me from behind but my best friend slaps a hand over my mouth preventing me from doing so, his hand was warm and soft against my lips.

"That scared me so bad how dare you!" I say to Steph and Andi once Mouth's taken his hand off of my mouth.

"Hey, Mouth, you looked better from behind!" Steph flirts thinking that no one notices what she's doing but I noticed and it hurt like hell.

"Oh, yeah? Have you seen yours lately?" he asks pulling out the compact mirror that he'd stolen from me a long time ago. And showing Steph her own face.

I smile faintly at the memory of Mouth stealing my mirror but it quickly fades when he puts it away and locks eyes with me. I look down at my black hightop Converse and feel guilt bubbling in my chest. When the people are gone me and the guys walk up to the door one of the guys try the door and it's locked so Mouth being the weirdo that he is says, "Hey, Chunk, Cherry Bomb, I've got some naked pictures of your mom...you know takin' a bath. Do you wanna buy em' real cheap?"

Chunk gets really angry and tries to ram into Mouth but I pull my best friend away just in time and instead Chunk slams into the door unlocking it for everyone. I punch my best friend in the shoulder saying, "Perv! I can't believe you said that about my aunt."

He ignores me and that's the first time I've ever seen him with genuine hurt in his eyes and I knew that I was responsible for it, but he didn't have any reason to be upset about it I mean he likes Steph and she likes him so there is no point in him being all sad and shit.

"Thanks, Chunk!" we all say and I help my cousin up.

Mostly everyone just stands around upstairs arguing with Brand about whether or not we should continue our Goonie adventure when Andi and Steph walk in screaming, they were acting so childish. All of a sudden the lights start flickering and one of them explodes I jump and I fall into Mouth's arms he finally says something to me, "Careful there Cherry Bomb, you might just ruin my hair!" I giggle at him and then we follow everyone else down the stairs to the basement.

I hear lots of growling and Steph says, "Chunk, I hope that was your stomach!"

"No, that's the 'It', " Mikey says.

Chunk moves closer to Mikey saying, "Sounds like Kong."

The monster growls again but louder and my instinct tells me to grab Mouth's hand but I was worried that I'd messed everything up between us, but suddenly as if he could read my mind he slowly bumps my hand and our fingers intertwine. I smile and get the feeling that he is just as scared as I am. Having him hold my hand made me feel safe.

We all get closer to the thing that Mikey was talking about and Mouth says, "Mikey, I don't wanna go first!"

"Don't worry he's chained to the wall," Mikey says.

Mouth shoves me in front of him I scream and we all fall on each other like dominos I of coarse land on Mouth and we all look up to see Brand and Andi about to kiss, Chunk shouts, "Shame shame!"

Then Data shouts, "Know your name!"

Mouth says from underneath me, "Slip her some tongue Brand!"

"You're so disgusting!" I answer him back with my nose wrinkling in disgust.

We all get up and realize that we in another room.
