All of Bill's friends were so close to saving him; well, at least his friends thought that. Bill was still floating in the air, staring straight up in the sky, his eyes paler than ever. His friends were walking through the dirty graywater that was at the bottom of the well. Beverly and Ben were walking together while Eddie, Richie, and Stanley were walking together.
It was really dark in the well, so Beverly and Ben had to stay close to each other. Ben asked, "I really hope we are going the right way. There were three paths, and it's hard to tell which is which when it's dark as hell in here."
Beverly almost ignored him because she was hoping to find a way that has light. Beverly said, "We have to defeat the clown first. Then we'll save Bill." Ben continued to walk next to her, nervously. Then, a little girl's voice said, "Help me."
The two froze, and Beverly asked, "Did you hear that?" Ben nervously nodded, and Beverly asked, "Who's there?!" The girl's voice replied, "Help me, Beverly. Help me." Beverly told Ben, "Come on. We have to follow the voice." Ben asked, "W-What about Bill?" Beverly said, "Oh, shit! Um… you follow the voice, and I'll go get Bill!"
Ben said, "Uh, you can't be serious! I am not walking alone!" Beverly grabbed Ben's shoulders and said, "You have to! We have to help the girl, and Bill!" Ben said, "Bev, I'd rather save Bill!" Beverly sighed, and said, "Well, I love Bill, so I'm going to save him!" Ben said, "But I thought you loved me." Beverly said, "I love you both! Just go save the girl, please!"
The girl's voice said, "Help me. I'm being attacked." Ben said, "I'm coming! Hold on!" He took a step towards the girl, and he mumbled, "You'll pay for this, Bev." Beverly smirked, and she and Ben separated from each other.
Ben was nervous, more nervous than he's ever been. He could feel his legs and knees shaking as he walked. The girl said, "Help me, Ben. Help me. I'm being attacked." Ben was wondering why she was saying the same words over and over. Ben asked, "Where are you? I am going to save you."
The girl said, "You're almost there. Very… very close." The girl's voice was cold and flat, like the top of an ice cube. Ben was as nervous as the girl was, supposedly being attacked. Ben asked, "Am I almost there? Am I able to touch you?"
The girl's voice then got deeper, and she said, "You're very close." Ben asked, "H-How did your voice get deeper?!" Ben froze, and then he squinted his eyes. He saw a human figure, and it did not look like a little girl. Ben gasped, and asked, "Who's there?" The voice said, "You found us, Ben."
Ben asked, "Who's there?!" The voice then yelled, "Your death!" Then, a headless human jumped in front of him, and it said, "Time to die, Ben!" Ben screamed, and he turned around, and fell into the water.
The headless body laughed at him, and he screamed as he got up. Ben ran as fast as he could away from the body, but the body followed him. Ben was splashing himself with the water as he ran, and he screamed, "Guys! Guys! Help!"
The body continued to laugh at him because it knew that he was scared. Ben heard Eddie's voice in the distance say, "Ben! Where are you?!" Ben screamed, "Eddie! Help me!" Then, Ben sadly tripped and face-planted onto the ground. He lifted his head, and the headless body was standing right above him.
Ben groaned, "Oh God!" The headless body said, "Nowhere to run now, fat boy!" Ben screamed, "Help!" Then, the headless body grew a head, and it was the head of Pennywise. Ben asked, "What are you going to do to me?" Pennywise laughed, and said, "I already have Bill! Now I am going to get you!"
Ben then lifted up his leg, and kicked him right in the balls. Pennywise groaned, and Ben got up and ran away from him again. Ben may be fat, but he was really flexible. He was also pretty fast, surprisingly.
Ben could still hear Eddie's voice screaming, "We have to find Ben! He's in danger!" Ben screamed, "Eddie! I'm okay! Where are you?" Stanley said, "We're coming, Ben! Hold on!" Ben continued to run, and he could hear their voices getting closer.
Ben yelled, "Guys! Where are you now?" Richie said, "Stay where you are, Ben! We are getting closer!" Ben said, "I can't! I'm being chased!" Eddie said, "Just keep following our voices!" Ben kept running, and he was panting. Then, about ten seconds later, Ben ran into Richie. They collided, and fell into the water.
Ben said, "Oh thank God it's you guys!" Richie said, "Yeah, and get off of me!" Ben stood up, and helped Richie stand up. Richie said, "That was disgusting!" Eddie laughed, "Well yeah! You dove into water filled with piss and shits!" Eddie laughed at him, and Richie said, "Shut the fuck up!"
Then, Richie pushed Eddie into the water, and Eddie said, "What the hell?!" Richie laughed, "And that's why you don't laugh at me." Richie continued to laugh, and Eddie said, "You little bastard!" He stood up, and Stanley grabbed Eddie. Stanley asked, "Hey, where's Beverly?"
They looked at Ben, and he said, "Don't blame me! She told me to follow this voice that kept saying 'Help me'. Then, it was that clown chasing me." The others said, "Ben!" He asked, "What? She's gone to find Bill!" Richie said, "So what?! She could be in danger! We have to go find her!" They started running in the path that Beverly ran to earlier.
Beverly was still walking through the path; she felt like she was going to see Bill right in front of her. She continued to stay quiet because she doesn't want anything to come up to her at that moment. She whispered loudly, "Bill? Are you here?" The only thing she heard was the splashing of her feet hitting the water.
She continued to walk, and then she felt something hard hit her foot. She gasped, and looked down slowly. There was a head of a girl whom she recognized… it was Betty's head. Beverly screamed loud enough for the whole well do hear it. Beverly then ran away from the head, and she could feel herself sobbing in fear.
Beverly then ran into a huge area, and she sobbed. She looked back at her path, and she was saying nervously, "Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." What Beverly didn't notice was that she was literally sixty feet away from Bill, who was still floating in the air.
Beverly stopped sobbing, and she gasped when she realized that there was a little more light than the tunnel she was walking in for the past fifteen minutes. Beverly turned around, and looked up, seeing all the missing kids' bodies. She gasped, and covered her mouth in shock. She felt more tears fall down her eyes because she felt bad for those kids.
She uncovered her mouth, and she continued to stare at them. Then, she looked to her left… and she saw Bill floating in the air. She cried, "Bill!" Beverly ran to him, and she said, "Don't worry! I'll get you down!" She took some steps backwards so she could jump high in the air after running.
When she got to a good distance, she started running to Bill, and right in front of him, she jumped high. She touched his shoe, but she didn't fully grab him. Beverly cried, "Shit! I'll get you down, Bill!" Then, she did the exact same thing, but this time, she actually grabbed Bill and pulled him down to the ground.
Bill's eyes were pale blue, and a mixture of yellow. His face was neutral, and his head was still looking up at the sky. Beverly smiled when she pulled him down, and she had tears of joy running down her eyes. She said, "Oh my God, Bill! I missed you so much! I almost wanted to kill myself because I couldn't find you! I am so glad I found you!"
Obviously, Bill didn't answer her, and her smile faded. She looked closely at his face, and she asked, "Bill? What's wrong with you?" Beverly gently grabbed his head, and tilted it so he could face her. She could feel more tears fall down her eyes since Bill was not answering her.
She sobbed, "Bill! Answer me! Please answer me!" Bill would still just stare at the sky, and Beverly put her face on his shoulder. She was really upset because she knew that he was dead. Beverly sobbed hard in Bill's shoulder, and she said, "Please Bill! I already lost you! I'm not losing you for real!"
She looked straight into his face, and she took a breath in, and kissed him. She kissed him with all the love she had for him, and all that happiness she had when she was with him. When she separated from him, her hands held his face. She felt more tears fall down her eyes, and she hugged him sadly.
Beverly closed her eyes, and said, "I love you, Bill. I may love Ben, but I still love you a lot." Then, what surprised her the most, she felt Bill's chest move, and she heard him gasp for air. Beverly yelped in fear, and she looked at him. She saw Bill breathing, and his eyes were his beautiful blue color again.
Beverly smiled wide, and Bill asked, "Beverly?" Beverly laughed happily, and she hugged him tightly. Bill returned the hug, and she said, "You don't know how happy I am to see you alive! I am so happy to touch you again!" Bill said, "You don't know how much I love you."
Beverly still held his face, and he smiled wide at her. He said, "I am so happy to see your beautiful face again. I love you so much. I missed you like crazy!" Beverly smiled, and then Bill kissed her for a long time. Beverly obviously returned the kiss because they were both more than happy to kiss each other.
When they separated, Bill smiled at her smiling face, and he gently laid his forehead on her forehead. Then, a voice roared over them, "Impossible!" Their smiles faded, and they stood right next to each other.
Bill yelled, "Who's there?!" Then, the carnival exhibit of Pennywise that was right in front of them opened. They backed away from it, and there stood Pennywise. He was smiling at them, and then he started doing a stupid dance. Beverly asked, "What the hell?"
Pennywise continued to dance, and Bill said, "Okay. The only way to defeat him is to show him that we are not afraid of him. I'll run over and grab that long pole." Beverly said, "No, I'll do it. You've already been through a lot for two months. I'll do it."
Beverly looked at Pennywise, and she ran to the pole, but then Pennywise jumped out right in front of her. She looked at him, and he asked, "Where you going… Bev?" She said, "I'm going to get that pole so I can knock the shit out of you."
Bill looked around for another hard object to hit Pennywise with, but then Eddie, Ben, Stanley, and Richie came into the area. They all shouted when they saw Bill, "Bill!" Bill turned around, and said, "Hey guys!" They ran to him, and they hugged each other tightly, and Bill said, "We have to be quiet. Beverly is talking to the clown, and I am trying to get a weapon to kill him."
Richie asked, "What kind of weapon are you looking for?" Bill said, "Just something hard enough to hurt him. We have to do it together to be able to kill him, and show him that we are not afraid of him." Stanley said, "That sounds easy." Ben said, "It's probably not."
They faced Beverly and Pennywise, and Bill looked around for a hard object. He then found a metal baseball bat, and he whispered to his friends, "I'm going to get that bat. You guys search for more things." They nodded, and while they ran to grab objects, Pennywise disappeared.
Beverly said, "Guys! He's gone!" The boys looked at her, and Eddie asked, "What? Where did he go?" They walked back to her, and she said, "I don't know. He just disappeared in the air." The boys stood by her, and Bill said, "He's not dead though."
Then, a voice near them said, "Bill? Is that you?" Bill immediately recognized that voice, and he said, "Georgie." He walked towards the sound of his voice, still holding the metal bat. Bill then saw Georgie right in front of him, still wearing the yellow rain jacket he wore when he died.
Bill asked, "G-G-G-G-Georgie?" Georgie said, "Help me Bill. I want to come home. I miss you." Bill felt tears fall from his eyes, and he said, "I miss you more than anything, Georgie. I would give anything to have you back." Georgie then cried, "Take me home, Bill. I want to hug you again. I miss you so much."
Bill's friends watched Bill have an emotional moment with Georgie, and they could feel the sadness in their eyes, too. Bill cried, "I would take you home. Everyone misses you. Mom. Dad. Me. I can barely live without you. I would give anything to hug you again."
Bill walked up to Georgie, and Georgie cried, "I love you, Bill." Bill cried, "I love you, too." He knew that it was the clown tricking him, so he lifted up the bat, and said, "But you're not Georgie." Georgie gasped, and then Bill whacked him across the face with the bat.
Georgie immediately fell to the ground, and there was blood pouring from his head. Bill gasped, and he watched Georgie lay on the ground. Richie said, "Holy shit, dude!" Bill ignored him, and then Georgie's body started shaking violently, and it started turning into Pennywise.
Eddie said, "Good call, Bill." Then, Pennywise stood up, and he chuckled, "Nice try, Billy! I'm still here!" His friends screamed, and they backed away from Pennywise. Bill said, "I am not afraid of you." He tried to whack Pennywise in the head with his bat, but Pennywise grabbed it before it hit his face.
Bill watched him throw the bat towards his friends, and he said, "Oh no." Then, Pennywise grabbed Bill by his neck, and wrapped his arm around his neck. His friends watched him, and Beverly said, "Let him go!"
Pennywise said, "No! He's mine now! Forever!" Richie said, "He's our friend! Let him go! He doesn't deserve this!" Pennywise said, "I'm not listening to you! Here's the deal: I take all of you, and I feast on your fear, and devour your souls, and I'll stay alive forever! Or, you can let us be, and I'll let you all free while I take him, and I'll come back to kill you all 27 years from now!" His friends looked at Pennywise, and Bill groaned while choking, "L-Leave. You guys don't deserve this as much as I do."
Richie said, "He's right, Bill." His friends looked at Richie like he was crazy, and Pennywise smiled evilly. He said, "You made us take you to the hospital, you brought us to this fucking crackhead house, you made us walk through disgusting water. This is all your fault. And now…"
Pennywise's mouth kept dripping blood, and he was smiling evilly. Richie grabbed the same bat that Bill used to hit Georgie, and he said, "I have to kill this fucking clown!" Pennywise frowned, and dropped Bill to the ground. Pennywise stood up, and as Richie hit him in the head, he yelled, "Welcome to the losers club, asshole!'
Pennywise groaned, and all the kids grabbed objects and joined Richie in hitting Pennywise in the head. Pennywise was bleeding, and the kids continued to hit him. They would all scream at him, and then, after thirty seconds of hitting him, Pennywise fell down a hole, but he grabbed the edge.
His face was all messed up, and the kids looked at him with frowns on their faces. Stanley said, "That's what you get, asshole." Beverly said, "We are not afraid of you. Now, you're afraid of us. You'll die in fear." She took a sharp pole, and she shoved it down Pennywise's throat.
She shoved it in there hard, and Pennywise screamed in pain. He knew he was going to die because he was in so much pain. Pennywise looked at them, and said, "Dead." Then, he slid right down the hole to his death.
The friends looked at each other, and they hugged each other. The only person that wasn't in the hug was Bill. He was by the exhibit, and he was holding Georgie's jacket. He felt tears come up his eyes, and he said, "I just killed Georgie." His friends stood by him, and Bill sobbed into the jacket. His friends knew that this hurt him, so they hugged him harder than ever. And that was the end of Pennywise.
About an hour later, the friends were walking down the street. They knew they were never going back to that house ever again. Richie said, "I am so glad that that motherfucker is gone. He was a real pain in the ass." Eddie said, "No kidding. He was literally going to kill us if we didn't kill him."
Bill said, "I think we'll be okay now. There shouldn't be anything to harm us anymore." Ben said, "That's good. Now we don't have to worry about finding anyone" They laughed together, and Eddie looked at his watch. He said, "Oh. I have to go home now. It's 5:00p.m."
He started walking by them, and they waved him goodbye. Stanley said, "Yeah, I have to go too. My father is going to beat me if I don't hurry up. Bye guys." They waved him goodbye, and he started running home. Richie said, "I know they just left, but I have to go, too. Just know that I love you guys."
His friends said, "We love you, too. Bye." Then, Richie smiled and walked ahead of them. Once the others were gone, Beverly knew it was time to choose between Bill and Ben. Surprisingly, Ben said, "So, Bev, you love me… and you love Bill."
Bill asked, "You love him?" They stopped walking, and she said, "Yeah. I unfortunately have to choose between you two." They stood in front of her, and Bill said, "I don't care if you choose him. I mean, it would be nice for you to choose me, but I don't care." Deep down, Bill was going to be jealous if she chose Ben.
Ben said, "Same with me. You can choose him, but it would be nice to have you by my side." Beverly looked at the two boys, the only boys she has ever loved. There was Ben: sweet, cute, caring, and smart. And there was Bill: handsome, smart, kind, and the boy Beverly has loved for a while.
Beverly took a deep breath, and the boys smiled at her. She said, "Okay. I'm going to choose…"
