Alice Kennedy's POV:

After work I headed home and found Bill leaning against the wall of my apartment building. I picked him up in my car before I headed to my parking spot in the parking garage. "So, how have you been?" He asked me curiously as he and I walked up to my apartment. "I've been okay." I replied as we walked in and I shut the door behind me. "That's good. I'm glad." He said with a slight smile. "How have you been?" I asked curiously, hoping he has been good as well. "Okay, I guess. But I'm so much better now that I'm here with you." He said, looking down at the floor. I stepped towards him and gave him a hug. He wrapped his long arms around me and pulled me closer to his warm body. "I'm gonna make dinner. You can help if you want." I said after we broke apart and I headed into the kitchen. He followed me and watched as I got everything ready to make hamburgers and fries. Once I had everything cooking I turned on some music to fill the silence (play the song above). Suddenly Bill grabbed my hand and started dancing with me, which made me smile slightly. He was smiling as he spun me around and pulled me into his arms; he had us dancing in like a twenties styled way, which fit well with the song. 'He really knows how to dance.' I said inside of my head. It felt nice to just be dancing with him. I know I danced with Pennywise before, but this time felt different. He placed his large hands on my hips and spun me around a few times before he stopped and pulled me close to his body. He smiled and I swear I saw the pointed Pennywise smile on his face, but it disappeared just as quick as it appeared. 'Is he playing with me, or is the clown appearing because he's just sleeping?' I wondered. He hasn't showed any other signs that he's completely Pennywise; I've been followed by red balloons ever since I got here, but I really felt like I was with Bill. I couldn't feel the clown's energy like I had before. I will admit that I felt the clown more now than I had this morning when I first met Bill at the office. We continued dancing for a few minutes before I had to check the food. My back was turned towards Bill and I suddenly felt his arms wrap around me from behind me. He rested his chin on my shoulder, which had to have been sort of uncomfortable due to how tall he is. "You dance well for not being a professionally trained dancer. Where did you learn how to dance?" He said in a curious tone. "No one. Everything just flows smoothly when I'm dancing with you. Trust me, if I was dancing with anyone else I'd probably look ridiculous." I said, which made him chuckle. I finished cooking our food, so we started eating after he helped me set the table. We ate in comfortable silence, which was nice. "Alice, I hat to ask you this but....could I possibly stay here with you? I don't fancy staying in the sewers, especially not here in California." He said, which made me laugh slightly. "Of course you can stay here Bill. I have plenty of room." I said with a smile. "Thanks." He replied, smiling as well. After we ate we watched some tv before I grabbed him a pillow and a blanket so he could sleep on the couch. I also have him a pair of pajamas to borrow. That's when I realized I'd have to take him cloths shopping tomorrow night. "Goodnight Bill." I said after he got sorted. "Goodnight Alice. Sweet dreams." He said. I walked into my room and got ready for bed after I took a quick shower. I climbed into bed and decided to messaged Oliver.

Me: You're probably sleeping, but I just wanted to tell you that Bill is staying over.

Oliver: Really? ;) I couldn't sleep, so it's all good. Lol

Me: Stop that! Lol. Anyways, I think it's sleeping inside of him. I can still feel the clown's energy when I'm with him.

Oliver: Just be careful. You know what happened last time. I'm not there to help you this time.

Me: I'll be careful, I promise.

After I finished talking to him I set my alarm clock and went to sleep. I was suddenly woken up by a loud bang from in the living room. I rubbed sleep from my eyes and glanced over at my alarm clock, which read three am. Another loud bang came from the room, which made my heart beat faster. 'What the hell?' I thought, and then I remembered that Bill was sleeping in the living room. I grabbed my flashlight and headed out into the living room slowly and quietly. I had no idea what I was gonna see when I opened my door, so I prepared for everything. Once I reached the living room I found Bill thrashing and writhing on the floor. I ran towards him and hesitantly placed my hand on his shoulder, which made him jump in surprise. "Bill, are you okay?" I asked curiously with worry in my voice. "I can....I can feel it...I can feel it inside of me." He said in a breathless sort of voice. He sounded scared and sad. He turned his head up to look at me and his eyes were glowing red, which made me cry. "Fight him! You can do it!" I whisper yelled with tears in my eyes. I felt so bad for him, especially since he so clearly wants to live a life of his own. But it keeps getting in the way. "I...I can't HAHAHAHA!" He said. The first part was in a normal voice, but then he broke out into a demonic cackle. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. "Yes you can! You're strong than him! You always have been! Now fight god damn it!!" I full on yelled. Tears were blurring my vision, but I wiped them away quickly so I could see properly. He alternated from yelling out in pain, laughing like a maniac, and screeching like a demon. "Run!" Bill said with tears in his glowing eyes. "No, I'm not running away from you. I love you and I'm going to be by your side no matter what!" I said with a serious expression on my face. He laid there thrashing and arguing with the demon inside of him for what felt like forever. I stood there starting at him, not knowing what I should do or how I could help him. Once the amber glow to his eyes faded away he broke out into heart wrenching sobs. I helped him up off the floor to where his back was resting against the couch. I wrapped my arms around him and he led him tight. He wrapped his arms around me and hurried his head into the crook of my neck. "You don't need this....you don't need me in your life." He said between sobs. "Bill, I might not need you in my life, but I want you in my life. That's all that matters." I said softly as I tried comforting him. He ended up falling asleep in my arms, so I wrapped him up in a blanket and decided to call off for work. I had a feeling leaving him here alone tomorrow probably wasn't the best thing to do. I woke up to the smell of something sweet being cooked. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and found myself back in my bedroom. 'Bill probably carried me in here.' I thought to myself before I stretched. I got out of bed and changed into a Harry Potter t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. I walked out into the living room and saw the blanket I have Bill neatly folded on the arm of the sofa. I walked into the kitchen and found Bill wearing the same clothes he had on yesterday. He was cooking something, and when I spotted the deep fryer I knew exactly what he was making and smiled. "Funnel cake for breakfast." I said, and he jumped slightly. "I hope you don't mind." He replied in a sleepy sounding voice. "I don't mind at all." I said as I got into the fridge and grabbed the can of whipped cream. I also made us a pot of coffee. I didn't know if he drank coffee, but I knew I needed it if I wanted to function today. "I never had a funnel cake with whipped cream. I've only had them with powdered sugar on top." He said as he saw the piping hot cakes on plates. "It's good, but I do love a classic funnel cake every once in a while." I said as we took our food over to the table. I put some whipped cream on the side of Bill's plate just in case he didn't like it. I watched him as he broke a part off of his cake and dipped it into the whipped cream. "That is good." He said with a surprised look on his face. "I told you." I replied with a laugh and smile. "So, what are the plans for today? I assume you called off work." He said. "Well, we need to get you some clothes." I said. "What's wrong with these?" He asked curiously as he looked down at the clothes he was wearing. "Nothing, but you can't just wear the same outfit everyday." I said with a smile. "Oh." He replied with furrowed brows. I guess he just got use to wearing the same thing all the time after all of these years. We continued eating breakfast and I hoped beyond hope that I could officially get that demon out of him once and for all.
