chapter thirteen
not edited
Alice screamed, along with Eddie.
"ALICE!" Bill screamed back. He'd just gotten Richie out of a room he was locked in, and turned to see three doors. One door said not scary at all, the next said scary, and the other said very scary. They ran to the not scary at all door, opening it and turning the light on to see Betty Ripsom, with no legs.
Bill screamed and shut the door, while Richie yelled 'WHERE THE FUCK WERE HER LEGS?!' "It's not real, it's not real." Bill whispered, before opening the door again and seeing nothing there. They ran out and down the stairs, and into the room seeing Alice covering Eddie so he wouldn't get hurt.
Pennywise had his hand wrapped around her throat, and he could easily snap it in one quick movement.
"Alice." Bill mumbled, tears coming to his eyes. He could see Eddie hugging her with one arm from behind, as if that'd stop the evil clown.
"Get a-away from her." Bill said, anger coursing through him. "Am I not real? Is this not real enough for you Billy? It was real enough for Georgie." The clown smirked evilly, as Bill got even more angry.
Pennywise, who'd been holding on tightly to Alice, threw her across the room and out of Eddie's grip, where she hit the wall and fell to the floor after hitting her head on a corner. The clown quickly turned and made its way toward Bill and Richie, but before he could get to the two boys someone shoved a post through its head.
To the left, Beverly stood there breathing heavily, and they all made their way toward the area where Alice and Eddie were. It started to make its way to the group, all of them cowering next to Eddie, minus Alice who was still laying on the floor unconscious.
Before It could get to them, it turned, slashing Ben in the stomach and making its way out of the room, where Bill started to follow the clown. "We can't let It get away!" He said, as Beverly went over to Alice, while Richie tried to put Eddie's arm back in place.
"Don't you touch me- do NOT fucking touch me!" Eddie screamed, but Richie didn't listen to him and popped it back into place anyway.
"G-guys." Beverly stuttered, shaking Alice. "Alice isn't waking up." Bill turned, his eyes widening.
"Does she need to go to the hospital?" Eddie said, "Maybe my mom can take her."
"You need to get to a hospital too, let's get out of here." Stan said, walking over and lifting Alice up. They all walked out of the house and down the steps, grabbing their bikes and going to the street.
"How are we going to do this?" Stan asked, as Mike sat on his bike, holding his bike to his side while Beverly held Alice's.
"I can hold Alice's bike, walk with them both." Beverly said, as the others got on their bikes. "I'll hold yours, just worry about carrying Alice for now." Mike said, and they found their way to Eddie's.
To say his mom was furious was an understatement. She went off, shoving Eddie into the car, rushing to get the keys. She dropped them and Beverly bent down to help, but she stopped her.
"I've heard the rumors about you, Beverly Marsh. I don't want you touching my son." She said, before making her way over to the other side of the car. "You're all monsters! I don't want you near my son again, you'd be lucky if that poor girl over there gets to see you again, either." She motioned to Alice, who was still in Stan's arms.
Eddie let a couple tears fall, mouthing to Richie to stay with Alice, to make sure she was okay. He nodded and Mrs. Kraspbrak drove off, leaving the others alone.
They followed behind the car, watching as the car disappeared, but once it did, Bill turned to them. "I saw the well. W-we can go back and-and next t-time-"
"No! No next time Bill." Stan said, looking down at the fragile girl in his arms. "You're insane."
"Why? We all know nobody else is going to do anything." Beverly intervened, looking back at Stan. He had tears falling, as he repositioned the girl in his arms.
"Eddie was nearly killed! Look at this motherfucker! He's leaking hamburger helper, and need I remind you that Alice is laying in Stanley's arms unconscious nearly dead!" Richie screamed angrily. "But we can't pretend this is going to go away, Ben even said it himself it comes back every twenty seven or so years." Beverly said, looking between the group.
"Yeah but I'll be far away from here by then." Ben mumbled, looking at his cut. "I thought you wanted to leave too?"
"Yeah because I want to run toward something, but not away from anything." Beverly said, her eyes getting sad. "Okay, but who invited Molly Ringwald into the group?" Richie scoffed, as Beverly just threw her middle finger up at him.
"I'm just telling you Bill, face the facts. Georgie is dead, Eddie broke his arm, Alice might die if we don't take care of her!" Richie said, flailing his arms around as he talked. "Georgie's not dead! And don't- don't say that about Alice." Bill said, his eyes narrowing as he stepped up to Richie.
"Take it back!" Bill said, "You're s-scared and we all are but you have no right to say that just- just take it back!"
He pushed Richie, who pushed him back, which resulted in Bill punching Richie.
"Bill stop!" Beverly said, and Stan sat Alice down, using her backpack as a pillow for her head as he helped separate Richie and Bill.
"This is what it wants, guys! It's trying to separate us, we've only survived because we work together." Beverly said, looking between the two. "It's what Alice would want to."
"Stop talking about her as if she'd just died." Richie glared at her, as Stan walked over and picked her up. He put her backpack on his arm, making sure her neck wasn't bent too far back. Richie didn't say anything, just held Stan's bike in one hand and Alice's in the other, as he put one leg over his and managed to bike three bikes.
Bill watched as they took the girl out of sight, wondering what was getting into him.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Bell we were all playing and her and Eddie fell." Stan explained, as he helped put her into the backseat of her car, setting her backpack down in there with her.
"It's alright, you say one of the other kids got hurt too?" Mrs. Bell asked, fishing in her purse for her keys. She was handling this much better than Mrs. Kaspbrak did. "Yeah, Eddie. But Eddie broke his arm. Is it alright if I ride with you? I know you don't know me well but Eddie wanted me to make sure she was okay." Richie explained, pushing his glasses up his nose.
"That's fine, as long as it's okay with your parents. I'm sure Alice would enjoy the company too." Mrs. Bell said, and Stan and Richie hopped into the car, Richie in the front seat while Stan rested Alice's head on his lap.
After getting to the hospital, they checked Alice in and waited inside of the waiting room for news on whether she was okay or not.
"You say she took a good fall, right?" The doctor asked the two boys, which they both nodded. "Yeah, we were running around near the Kissing Bridge and her and another friend took a tumble, she hit her head and scratched up her arm." Stan explained the lie, fiddling his thumbs together.
"And what about her ankle, it appears to be bruised?" The doctor asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, that was from falling before. She's clumsy." Mrs. Bell intervened, smiling. "Well, she's awake, you can go see her now if you'd like." The doctor nodded, before walking away from them.
The woman and two boys made their way to the room Alice was in, walking in to see her fiddling with her thumbs.
"Hi, Alice. How are you feeling?" Her mom asked, and Alice smiled at her mom. "I'm okay. My head hurts." She replied, and her mom smiled. "That's good. Well I'm going to go out and smoke, I'll meet you at the car in ten."
Her mom walked out, and the two boys just stared at Alice. "What did I miss?"
