The next five hours passed by quickly. Everyone had woken up at least once or twice during the ride. At one point Bev had been so tired that she almost fell asleep while driving. Thankfully she'd bought a flask of coffee with her, as a sort of 'pick me up'. She had asked Ben to go into her bag and take it out for her, since her bag was at his feet. When she had it in her hands, she drank about half the flask in one go, ignoring the burning feeling in the back of her throat.
One of Bev's favourite songs came on and she started singing quietly to herself. No one had ever heard her song before. She only sung when she was alone or in her room.
"You have a lovely voice." A sleepy voice said from next to her. Bev took her eyes off the road for a moment to look at him and they smiled at each other.
"Thanks" She said smiling then turned her gaze towards the road again. She didn't know why but she got a funny feeling in her stomach when he smiled at her. She chose to ignore it and continued driving.
The Losers had arrived at the house 10 minutes ago but Bev didn't wake them because she thought they all looked very peaceful. She took out her phone and took a selfie of herself with the others in the background, sleeping happily.
She tried to think of a way to wake them all up and then she looked down at the radio. Cranking the volume up the whole way, she turns the radio on and music starts blasting out the speakers. Everyone starts to wake up. First it's Ben, then Bill, Mike, Stan, Richie and then (with the help of Richie prodding his cheek) Eddie. Bev turns the radio off and takes the keys out of the ignition.
"Good, now that everyone's awake let's check out this house!" Bev says with a smile. They all hop out the van and grab their stuff from the trunk. They all stare up at the large house in front of them.
"That's the biggest house I've ever fucking seen!" Richie exclaimed. Everyone agreed because it was, in fact, a very big house. "Right come on then Billiam, open the door!"
Bill walks up the front lawn, goes up a few stairs and stands in front of the front door. He takes the keys out of his pocket and pushes them into the lock and turns it clockwise until he hears a click. He turns back to others.
"C-come on g-guys!" He shouts to them smiling. Stan is the first to move and the rest follow suit.
The house smells new despite it being around 5 to 10 years old (which is actually pretty new for a house). The carpet is black with yellow, red and white squares overlapping each other. As you walk the staircase is on the right and there's a fire place and seven airers in front, one for each of them, to the left. Almost on the opposite side there is the back door. Turn right and ahead of you is the living room. To the right of the living room is a large kitchen and on the left is the dining room.
When you go up the stairs, there's 3 bedrooms and bathroom. If you go up the next flight of stairs (the renovated attic) there are 2 bedrooms joined together by a small passage way, a library and a bathroom.
The yard is pretty big. The driveway curves round to the back of the house and there's no garage. There is a single tree with two swings attached to the strongest branches. A campfire takes up the middle of the yard, it has four logs around it. Then there are seven lounge chairs on sand. Lastly there's a pool with a deep and shallow end.
Right now the Losers are standing around the bottom of the stairs just admiring the house, well as much of it as they could see from where they were. Bill's father had written down who would be sleeping where. Bill took out the small piece of paper from his pocket and read aloud.
"O-on the f-first floor is; M-mike and B-ben, Me and S-stan," He looked up at Stan and smiled at him, who then smiled back, "and B-bev on h-her own." Stan walked over to Bill and finished for him.
"And on the top floor, since there's no one else, that leaves Richie and Eddie." Stan and Bill looked at each and smirked.
Everyone went upstairs and into their dedicated rooms. Richie and Eddie were both really happy to be 'sharing' a room together. Eddie would roll his eyes when Richie said something stupid but when Richie had left his part of the room he'd laugh quietly to himself.
Everyone was unpacking their stuff into the appropriate places. And when they were finished, they all went downstairs and sat on the sofas chatting about anything that came into their minds. Bill and Stan were planning to tell them. They'd been talking about it while they unpacked. Stan looked at Bill and he nodded. Stan then cleared his throat.
"Uh... guys we've got something to tell you."
