What a Loser / Stanley Uris x Reader

Chapter 2: Botanophobia

The next morning

Y/n pov:

'Y-y/n come on, w-wake up' Bill says as he opens my blinds.

'Go away' I whine as I through my pillow at his head. I was having the nicest dreams where I left this town on a bike, hugging on to Stanley watching. Unfortunately, Bill dodges the pillow. Great, now I don't even have something to rest my head-on.

'Y-you said that y-you would come to the b-barons with me right?' Shit. I did say that. 'I'm leaving i-in f-f-fifteen minutes.' He says as he leaves the room. I'm about to fall back asleep when I remember: Stanley going to be at the baron's! I get dressed carefully making sure my outfit is perfectly colour-coordinated. I brush my hair and teeth and rush downstairs- Bill is already waiting outside.

'Okay, are y-you ready?' Bill asks.

'Ye- Wait no!' I ran inside and changed into my yellow rubber boots. No way am I walking through gallons of piss in my white Converse. 'Now I'm ready' I said with a smile getting onto my bike. Bill smiled at me. I think that's the first time I've seen him smile since I got here. It's a lot more inviting than the determined look he normally wears.

It takes us about 15 minutes to get there, and when we do, Eddie and Stanley are already there. We wait in silence until Richie gets there. It makes you realize just how empty the group is without him

When Richie arrives, he and Eddie bicker back and forth all the way until we're near the river. That's when I hear a voice that snaps me out of my trance

'That's poison ivy, that's poison ivy and that poison ivy' Says Stanley. I stop in my tracks. Why did the words poison ivy have to leave his mouth? I don't move a muscle. What if I touch the poison ivy? I'll die. I'll scratch myself until I have scabs all over and die. It's not poison ivy y/n! You're being stupid. Come on. But I can't convince myself to move. Of all fears, I have to have botanophobia. I mean I'm not scared of trees, or grass, or flowers, but I can't be anywhere close to cactuses or venus fly traps. If I see a planet I don't know I'll walk the opposite way. But I can't go anywhere. He pointed all around us.

'Y-y/n are you c-coming' Bill asks realizing that I'm just standing in one spot not moving. Now you're being a major pussy. Moving your jaw up and down isn't going to do anything. I gulp.

'Poison Ivy' Is all I dare say

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Where?' Asks Eddie. At least I'm not the only one that doesn't like poison ivy

'Nowhere! Where not fucking playing with poison ivy Stanley' Says Richie. But what if there is? I trust Stanley much more than I trust Richie. The boys don't even notice that I'm still standing there. I can't see them anymore. They're already at the sewers. My eyes begin to water. they're going to die. They touched the poison ivy. It's all my fault too. I should have recognized it way earlier. No time to cry. They're fine. It's just random bushes, Stanley doesn't know. Then I hear Eddie in the distance;

'Well, I'm starting to get itchy now' I want to go help them but my body is glued to the spot. Then I hear something. I turn my head. THE BUSHES ARE FUCKING GROWING. I feel something grab my leg; it's a vine. I want to scream, but I can't. I'm too scared to even scream. Now the vines are wrapping themselves around my arms. I silently start to cry. Then out walks a clown. A FUCKING CLOWN.

'Thank you so very much' it says and giggles 'You see, I feed on fear so you are making me quite strong' then it opens its mouth to show several rows of sharp teeth. Get the hell out of these vines. NOW. I begin to kick around my legs and flail my arms but it no use- the vines are too strong
