'i only remember parts. i remember how afraid we were, but we were all there together.' beverly said. we had asked her what happened when she was floating.

bill stood up and picked up a piece of glass.

's-swear it, if it ever comes back, y-you'll too.'' he said.

slowly, beverly stood up, and everyone followed her lead. except me and stanley. i think stanley was hesitating because he was afraid, and i was hesitating because i didn't really know if i could trust bill. hell, i haven't even forgiven him.

lastly, stanley stood up and bill cut his hand as the others. soon everyone turned to look at me.

'fine.' i said and richie helped me up. the doctor said to stay in the wheel chair for 2 more months, so richie carried me almost everywhere, even though he didn't have to.

i had my arm around richies shoulder as support, and bill took my hand and cut it with the shard of glass.

'i will n-never b-b-be able to say how s-sorry i am y/n. i'm s-so sorry.' bill said sadly.

i decided that it will be pointless to not forgive him. friends forgive each other. (ok but if i was there i would never forgive that hoe... ok continue)

i gave him a hug and slightly smiled.

'i hate you.' stanley said and looked at bill with a serious face, but then he smiled and we all chuckled.

'i'm going home, see you.' eddie said and hugged richie.

'me too' mike said and stood up, stanley and ben too. but before stanley left, he gave me a tight hug, much to richies dislike.

'bye.' stanley whispered before turning around and walking away.

'should i carry you home my dear?' richie then said in a horrible british accent. i giggled and he picked me up bridal style and we said goodbye to beverly and bill and left.

'do you maybe want to go to the movies tonight?' richie asked me as we (or, he) walked home.

'i would love to richie but i've told you a million times, my mom never let's me go out because of my condition' i said and frowned.

'how about... i sneak out and come to your house, and we can watch movies?' he asked.

i thought about his suggestion. 'well, yes, that would work, but you have to be quiet since my parents will go crazy if they find out.' i said.

'of course princess.' richie said and leaned down and kissed me.

'i love you.' he said.

'i love you too.' i said and smiled.

'i promise that i'll take you away from this hell hole when we turn 18. i promise.' he said.

'i'd like that.' i said. we smiled at each other before continuing our walk home.
