Richie had less than 2 hours before they left and headed back to Derry and he wasn't ready to go. Richie hurried out the bedroom door and up the stairs, "Where Are you going?!" Patrick called to Richie but Got no reply. When Richie got to the main floor he headed to the other stair case. Richie climbed up the spiral stairs though he had never been to the top floor of the house he had an idea of what it looked like. He walked down the long hallway which had 3 doors, but one stuck out. There was a door that Had a D painted on it which was dripping black paint. Richie could hear some heavy rock music as he approached the door, Richie knocked on the door twice. "Come in" Danny shouted from inside. "Hey" Richie said opening the bedroom door. Danny looked surprised to see him,"Hey, what are you doing up here?" Danny said in a awkward tone as if he was embarrassed. "Just wanted to see what your up too" Richie replied looking around. Danny's room was covered in christmas lights and posters. He also had stickers stuck to his wall, There gotta be At least a hundred of them Richie thought to himself. "Your room is awesome!" Richie said still mesmerized by the edgy design.
