I sprinted into the hotel and slammed the door, I turned to see Bev and Ben and mumbled a sorry before trying to run up the stairs, but Bev grabbed my arm before I could even reach the second step. "What happened?" She asked concerned, as Ben looked at me worriedly "nothing, just saw something that I thought would only appear in my nightmares." I whispered, my words shaking a bit as I lost all the confidence I had back at the house, my hand clutching the necklace like someone would take it from me if I let go. Bev nodded in understanding as Ben spoke softly "Same here." we heard another slam and we all looked to see Richie coming towards us "Move, move." He ordered and we got up as he stormed up the stairs "What's wrong?" I asked but he didn't look back, just answered shortly "Im leaving." Ben's eyes widened as he looked up at the retreating figure "What? You can't just leave man. We split we all die." "Yeah so what." Richie said as he went to his room and Ben looked like he was about to leave before I put my hand on his shoulder "I got this." I assured and Ben nodded and backed up so I could pass.

I knocked on the door and I hear a quiet "Come in." I opened it and I sighed as I see Richie frantically packing all his stuff "Richie, Richie stop please." I pleaded as I grabbed his hands as he was about to put another shirt away "What?" He huffed as he pushed his glasses up, and I shook my head as I let go of his hands and sat down on the bed, he came over and sat down next to me as I started "Richie what happened?" I asked and he looked down, refusing to make eye contact with me "hey" I spoke quietly and I softly touched his cheek so he looked at me "You can tell me anything Richie, what happened with your token, what did you see?" He sighed as he pushed some of his hair back "My token is well, a literal token, and so I had to go to the arcade, and I saw something in my past that I want to forget all over again." I furrowed my brows in confusion and he sighed "During that summer I played a round with someone at the arcade, I liked them and I guess I wasn't that quiet about it because they noticed and told there cousin and he was gonna beat me up." I gave a soft smile and I grabbed his hand "Well then I guess she did not realize what a funny, nice guy you were." I reassured, though my heart broke at the thought of him liking someone else, he sighed before looking at me "Thanks, I guess it wasn't the best choice really, after all he was Bower's cousin." My eyes widened when I heard he "It was a boy?" I asked and Richie nodded as a tear slid down his cheek " I like boys and girls, Y/N, god I wish I told you earlier, I like Eddie to but I love you Y/N." He turned red and I smiled when I heard his last words, and I gave a small smirk "So, you like wheezy." I teased and Richie let out a groan as I laughed "Fine yes, but I like you more." I still smirked as I said "Well I'm glad I top Eddie Spaghetti, cause I love you too." Richie smiled and he stared at me for a second before coming closer to me and kissing me, I smiled and kissed back, we stayed like that for a few moments before we let go. I looked at his packed bags and turned to him "If you still wanna leave you can, I know I can't stop you Tozier." He nodded in thanks as he gave me a small kiss, grabbed his bags and ran out the other door. I sighed and sank down into the bed as I looked at the necklace, I put it on a walked out of the room only to find a barf covered Eddie "um Eddie what-" "I'm fine! I'm fine!" He interrupted as he raced to the bathroom and shut the door, I shrugged before I heard a door slam from downstairs and I ran down the stairs.

"What's happening?" I asked as I saw Ben and Bev looking at the swinging door "Bill left, IT left a message saying he was going to kill the kid at the Chinese place, and that Bill was not going to be able to save him either." Beverly explained and I glared at the ground "That son of a bitch." I growled as I thought of the stupid clown. "Is Richie staying?" Ben asked and I shrugged "He left but he'll be back soon." I reassured and Ben nodded and turned to talk to Beverly, I was about to head to the bar when I heard Eddie yell "GUYS" I sprinted up the stairs as I saw a now bloody Eddie sink to the ground "Oh my god Eddie." I gasped as I put my hand on his cheek to stop some of the bleeding as Bev let out a scream "Jesus Eddie what the hell?!" Ben yelled as Eddie answered drowsily "Bowers is in my room." "Bowers?! I thought he was dead?!" I exclaimed as Ben ran to the bathroom "Is it bad?" Eddie cried and Bev and I looked at each other for a minute before shaking our heads "No."

After Ben told us Henry was gone we went downstairs to fix him up, as Bev finished putting the bandage on a sudden realization came to my mind, I jumped out of my seat and I started throwing my coat on 'Woah woah Y/N what's wrong?" Ben asked as I turned to him and answered frantically "Guys, if Bowers said he had one down, and we're here while Bill and Richie left, who is the only other person he can find?" Ben's eyes widened as him, Bev and Eddie said in unison "Mike."

As I sprinted to the the library and opened the doors I gasped as I saw Richie over a dead bowers as Mike got up from the floor, I ran to them and hugged Richie as I asked Mike if he was okay. The rest of the group ran in and Bev screamed as she saw the dead Bowers "Are you alright?" Ben asked Mike but Richie thought he was asking him as he glared at Ben and he answered "No I'm not alright! I just fucking killed a guy." "I was asking Mike." Ben said warily and Richie rolled his eyes, Mike gave a short nod before he noticed something was missing "Where's Bill?"

Mike called Bill as Ben finished bandaging his arm "Bill where are you?" Mike asked and I guess Bill said something bad as Mike got up and pleaded with him "No, no ,no Bill just come to the library. We can talk about the plan." He tried to talk Bill out of something but Bill hung up as Mike turned to us "He's going to fight IT alone." "What?! He realizes this thing is a supernatural being right?" I snapped as Mike grabbed his ritual artifact "It's about the group. The ritual doesn't work without the group, doing it together is why it worked." He snatched the artifact from Richies hands as Ben asked "Did Bill say where he was going?" "If he really wanted to kill Pennywise, there's only one place he'll go." "The same place the ritual needs to be performed." Mike finished and Eddie sighed "Oh we're not gonna like this are we?" Ben muttered "Fuck" as I grumbled "Son of a bitch not again!"
