pennywise has bill locked up by his neck. they're low on the floor. parker gasps quietly, she only lets her head peek out.

"i'll make you a deal," pennywise's voice makes everyone shiver, "i'll let you all go in exchange for billy boy."

parker felt tears spring to her eyes. she would never leave one of her best friends. they've been through so much together.

"g-g-guys g-go!" bill says, his voice cracks. parker can see the tears shining on his cheeks. he sniffles as pennywise tightens it's grip around his neck. parker touches the bruises on her neck.

"i told you, bill. i told you we were all gonna die!" richie yells. parker flinches. "first you punch me, then you made me go into a fucking crackhead house, dragged me through shitty water..." richie stops talking. parker watches with tears in her eyes. would richie really abandon bill like this?

"and now," richie picks up a baseball bat, "i have to kill this fucking clown." richie swings the bat at pennywise's head. "welcome to the losers club asshole!"

"richie!" parker shouts. she sees another loser attack pennywise as bill scurries away from it.

"parker, i told you to fucking stay back!" richie delivers another whack at pennywise.

pennywise coughs up a black liquid onto eddie. eddie begins to wheeze and he backs up. pennywise morphs into bev's dad and attacks her.

parker doesn't know what to do. she watches as pennywise morphs into every kid's fear. they fight back, hitting and screaming.

it sets eyes on parker who has yet to move from her spot. he throws stan off of it, stan flies into a wall. pennywise suddenly has a crow's head. it's annoying squawks fill the room.

"i'm not scared of crows anymore." parker mutters, nevertheless, she still backs up. the crow lets out one last squawk, then she's looking at henry bowers. his disgusting smirk taunts her.

"sweet, little, innocent, parker," henry says, he walks up to parker. parker can't feel her legs. she's frozen in fear.

"get the fuck away from her!" richie shouts. he tries to run at him, but he can't. none of the other teens can move.

henry caresses parker's cheek, her lip trembles as tears fill her eyes. "don't you miss my touch?"

"get away from me." parker whispers. a tear escapes her eye. henry cups her other cheek. he pulls her face closer to his. "you're not real."

"kiss me, parker," henry smirks, "don't you want to? i'm better than you're faggot of a boyfriend."

that snaps something in parker. she isn't afraid anymore, she's angry. "i said get away from me!"

parker takes her right fist back and delivers a punch to henry's face. he stumbles back, blood gushes from his nose. parker shoves him, he stumbles back again.

"leave," push, "me," push, "and," push, "my," push, "friends," push, "alone!" henry is now backed up against the edge of the well. henry morphs back into pennywise.

"fear," it weakly mumbles. "you'll fear me again."

"fuck off." parker shoves pennywise backwards. it falls down the well making weird, gurgling noises as it goes.

"oh my god." eddie says as all the losers run over to the well, they're finally able to move.

richie wraps an arm around parker, she leans into him. her breathing is calm and she lets herself smile a bit.

"i know what i'm writing for my summer essay." richie jokes. parker softly giggles as she shuts her eyes.

it is finally gone and she can enjoy the last month of summer in peace.

"swear," bill suddenly says. the losers are sitting in a circle two days later. "s-s-swear that if it ever c-comes back, we'll k-k-k-kill it."

bill picks up a piece of broken glass, he goes around the circle. he makes one small precision into everyone's hand.

"fuck," richie mutters as the glass breaks his skin. blood begins to gush out.

parker takes in a deep breath as she feels the sharp pain in her hand. bill accidentally cut her too deep.

bill then cuts his own hand. he grabs bev's hand. and she grab's ben's hand. and it goes around the whole circle.

parker grips richie's hand a bit harder than she does bills. he looks at her. they hold eye contact. richie smiles, parker smiles back as she bits her lip.

all the losers swear to come back in 27 years, even stan. they all sit back down in the circle.

stan leaves first. he says goodbye, he makes a small joke. the losers laugh. then goes eddie. then mike. then richie and parker.

they walk away with intertwined hands. they swing their hands. "how's your hand, park?" richie asks.

"eh," parker shrugs, "it's a little sore. how about yours?"

"i'm a man, parker. i'm fine."

parker giggles and leans into richie. richie was going to walk parker home. a very gentleman thing to do.

"parker," richie speaks up after a few minutes of silence, "do you wanna maybe be my girlfriend?"

parker almost falls over. she's been waiting for richie to ask this question forever. "of course i would, rich." parker kisses his cheek.

"man, parker, slow your roll, we're too young for marriage." richie smirks. parker rolls her eyes.

"you wish i'd marry you, tozier." parker fire backs. a smile on her pink lips, richie thinks her smile makes her eyes sparkle.

"you know me so well." richie says, a smile on his face.

"oh my god, you're such a dork." parker shakes her head as she laughs.

"you know you can't get enough of me."

"if only you knew how true that was." parker thought to herself. she instead said, "hm, maybe."

a comfortable silence falls upon the teenagers. they begin to approach parker's street. even though they aren't even talking, she doesn't want to leave richie. she'd spend every waking moment with him if she could.

they stop walking as they get to the end of parker's driveway. they turn to face each other.

"parker," richie sounds nervous, "can you promise me something?"

"what is it, richie?"

"promise me you'll never leave me. you're the only person who i feel at home with." richie looks at the ground.

"i promise, richie. of course i promise." parker says immediately. "are things getting really bad at home?" parker asks worriedly. she knew richie's parents neglected him.

"no, i just—" richie cuts himself off.

"what?" parker asks, her voice is gentle.

"i just love you." richie murmurs. parker smiles, richie never showed too much affection, so when he did she relished in it.

"i love you, too, richie." parker says, richie looks up. he cups her cheeks in his hands. he connects their lips. parker places her hands onto richie's hips. they kiss for a moment, or two.

they pull away but their foreheads stay pressed together. "you look hot when you're out of breath." richie says. "well, i'll see you tomorrow. don't think about me too much!"

richie blows her a kiss before walking towards his house. parker stands there with a huge smile on her face.

she brings a hand to her cheeks. she can't stop blushing over richie.

parker anderson has rosy cheeks.
