The Kids of Derry

Calling for Help

The Losers Club all gathered together at Barrens. They were at a loss. They had no idea how they would be able to defeat Pennywise. He tortured them, Eddie broke his arm because of him. The kids were surprised he managed to leave the house, they couldn't imagine how much convincing it took for his mother to allow him to leave. The kids assumed he told her he was going to the library or something along the lines. The Losers were all shaken up, unable to come up with any coherent thought that would allow them to even begin to think of ways to defeat Pennywise. Bill sat there trying to think, looking at the water and the grass. It helped him to clear his mind when he focused on the small things around him. He focused on how the water drifted slowly with the cool breeze, how the grass fluttered softly in the wind too. It smelled like pure summer air, as if everything was completely normal. As if he was just hanging out with his friends, Eddie didn't have a broken arm, they'd be muddy and wet from playing in the water. He missed those times, and he didn't want to have to deal with what was happening right now.

"Hey Bill! Ya got Eddies moms jugs on your mind or something." Bill was quickly snapped out of his thoughts by Richies loud obnoxious voice. Bill looked around to see all his friends staring at him intensely.

"W-why are y-you guys looking at m-me." Bill finally said. Beverly looked at him a bit concerned while Richie repeated his question.

"I asked you what the fuck are we gonna do? Look, I dunno about you guys but I don't want to die without having my first time with one of your guys moms." The group shot Richie a cold stare, Beverly was still looking at Bill though. He was looking at the grass again trying to think of what to say. He didn't want to make his friends worry but at the same time he had no clue what to say to make them not worry.

"I... I just d-don't know y-yet." Bill felt like his friends were looking right through him, staring into his soul and seeing how truly afraid he was. He went back to looking at the grass, he felt like that was the only thing he could do, and he wanted to avoid his friends gazes from looking through him. A thought suddenly flashed through his head. Bill quickly stood up and his friends looked at him with anticipation. His eyes were wide and he looked at each and every one of his friends.

"I-I think I h-have an idea." Bill finally managed to croak out. They all sat there in a few moments of silence waiting for Bill to continue. Richie finally stood up.

"Well are you gonna spit it out or keep what ya have in that tiny brain of yours to yourself?" Bill shot Richie a look and pushed him back down so he was sitting again. Bill was fed up with Richie constant commentary.

"I k-know who we can call." Bill finally said, and the group looked to him with anticipation once again.
