~An Inconvenient attachment~

~Rock bottom baby!~CHAPTER 2~

She rolls her eyes. "You don't know if you don't try." She looks at her watch. "Ok so I really need to go but here's my digits let me know how it goes." She hands you a piece of paper and walks away then suddenly turns back around. "If you don't do it then just...call me when you get home so I know it DIDN'T happen."

She smiles and walks away. She's gone before you know it. You look back to the boys over by the trash cans and you see Bowers and his gang approach Stan and his group. You decide to stay over where you are just until Bowers leaves because he knows who you are. And he and his friends have beat you up a couple times already so he'd be ticked if you try to help the boys.

You don't condone bullying so obviously it bothered you when you saw Henry and his goons mocking and annoying the group but you stayed where you were. Suddenly you saw Patrick push Stanley to the ground. The others in the group were being terrorized by the other 3 bullies. Patrick grabbed Stanley's kippah and threw it into a passing bus. You knew that if you tried to defend them you would also be screwed but it didn't matter.

You yelled "Hey Henry! What are you doing you bastard? Leave them alone!" All the boys in both groups looked at you obviously very surprised at that remark. No one did anything so you flipped him off and he started to look angry. Still no one did or said anything. "If you keep harassing them, what will the outcome be? You will still be you. You won't be a better person. People will just hate you more than they already do." You said this loudly to make it seem as though you were confident.

You started to get scared as Henry and his group started to approach you looking angry. Stan, Bill and Eddie were just staring at you in shock not moving. But Richie was running up behind Bowers' group and went up next to you. "Thanks but we better start running. Or we'll be dead soon." He whispered.

You both start running at the same time as Bowers group also starts running behind you two. Why was Richie helping you? You were about to run out of the closest door you could find but Richie pulled you through a door that led to the P.E. field. Bowers and the group were still trailing behind you two and it didn't look like they would give up. The field had a fence around it so there was no way to get out except going back through the door. What was he doing? You just followed him to the edge of the fence where he wormed his way out of a small cutout at the bottom of the fence. Now he was out but you were still standing there they must've gone around the school'. Bowers was getting closer.

You look at Richie and see that Bill, Eddie and Stan are also with him. All of them signal for you to go through the cut out as well. You were frozen in fear as you were just standing there watching Henry and his group approach you. Then you were broken out of your daze when Stan yelled "Y/N hurry!"

You dropped to the ground and went through the cut out in the fence. Just as you stood up on the outside of the fence Bowers and his group realized they couldn't fit through the cut out. Stan pulled you away from the fence as Henry and Patrick started cussing you out and banging on the fence with a terrifying amount of frustration.

They gave up and started walking back through the school, hopefully just going home. You all look at each other. "Thanks Richie." He turns to face you.

"Yeah. I carved that in the fence a while ago just in case there was a situation like this and here we are."

"We should be thanking you." Bill said.

"You didn't have to do that, you know." Stan looks at the ground as he says this.

"It was no problem. You guys are-" You were about to finish speaking before Eddie interjects.

"Have you both had your tetanus vaccinations already? That could have been detrimental to your health!" He walks over to you and grabs your left arm to show the group a fresh cut that was dripping blood.

"This is from the fence is it not!" He gives you a look of worry and disgust.

"It's fine." You pull your sleeve down a bit to cover it up. Eddie ruffles through his fanny pack and hands you a band-aid. "Thanks." You say. You wipe the blood off with your sleeve and put the band-aid on. Richie didn't have a single scratch. I guess he had been preparing for this. Stan was still looking at you with wide eyes. You couldn't help but grin.

"Anyway, I better head out. Bye, have a good summer." You give a small wave and jog to the bike rack without looking back.

You are unchaining your bike when you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and see Henry Bowers standing right there. Your eyes widen. Henry doesn't look happy. Your bike is not unchained yet so you can't get away quickly.

You start to inch away slowly as Henry just keeps coming closer to you. His goons aren't with him. That's odd. He always has his 'buddies' by his side. Henry smiles as you start to run. Henry's friends jump in front of you. Where did they come from?!

They grab your arms and pin you down on the hot, hard cement. "Get the fuck off me!" You yell. Henry smiles and leans down, taking a knee.

"No I'd rather not." Henry's tone is deep and intimidating. Henry raises his fist and punches you across the jaw which also delivers a hard blow to your nose. You feel yourself getting dizzy and are glad you are already on the ground. Your vision was blurred now and your nose was bleeding.
