I watched the water trickle across the land and it was somewhat peaceful. Bill told me when they were younger, the others got into a rock fight with Henry and his friends. That was a few years back. Now we were seniors. Well Pat and Vic graduated and Henry had to repeat his senior year due to skipping too many classes. That was okay because now he was a senior with me and I told him I would help him pass whatever classes he had. Summer was ending tomorrow our final year together. I groaned gently my stomach cramping up again like it has done for five days at the beginning of each month. I wanted to go to the doctor but I didn't want my mom to find out if something was wrong with me. I didn't want to find out if anything was wrong with me.

"Hey, Faline!" I heard Mike's deep voice and I stood up from my crouch and turned to him. Puberty has finally struck us all and has been good to Mike. He was toned and was starting to build muscle from working out. He kept his hair short and cleaned up and he had replaced his bike with a nice new car.

"Hey Mike." I called out moving over to him and bumping shoulders with him.

"Ready for school tomorrow?" I asked as he and I walked together in the woods. He shrugged.

"Oh yeah. Gonna try out for all the sports now that I'm a senior. Gonna do soccer, basketball, football, and track!" he exclaimed happily. I smiled and nodded looking forward.

"Yes. Beverly will be joining the art club, Ben, the school's book club, Bill and Eddie are going to join the chest club, Richie has somehow convinced the school to start a comedy club and Stanley will be doing work with his family and church now that he's become and you, will be our sports jock. Our little Loser's club is growing up and separating into the groups we were meant to be in." I explained and Mike shook his head.

"We'll always be friends after what's happened to us that summer. Faline nothing can break that." he explained. I wanted to believe that, but I knew it couldn't be true. Truth is we were all growing up.

"I hope you're right." I replied and he smirked.

"Well what's got you out here all by yourself?" he asked and I shrugged.

"You know me. I like the quiet now that I know nothing can hurt us anymore, I like to break the stereotype that quiet deserted areas mean there's danger around the corner." I replied. At one point there was danger around every corner. But after Pennywise was destroyed everyone could breathe easily now. Mike nodded.

"Yeah I hear you. Glad your mom said you can stay." he said and I smiled.

"Me too." I replied. Once we were out of the woods, I was coming across my mom's bakery and I saw her cleaning up inside. Even though she was closed, she liked to prepare for the next day. I turned to Mike and smiled.

"I'll catch you later?" I asked and he nodded.

"The gang and I are going to a drive-in movie tonight. You should swing by." he said.

"What's the movie?" I asked. He smirked.

"Jaws." he said and I nodded.

"Sounds good. See you." I replied and separated from my friend. I moved over to the locked door and tapped on it. Mom saw me and smiled letting me in.

"There she is my senior." she chuckled and I smiled.

"Don't remind me. I'm so nervous." I replied leaving a small rock in between the door in case I had to come back inside.

"No need to be nervous. You've done so well with your studies. Have you thought of colleges?" she asked. I shrugged.

"Not yet. Still thinking. Can I help with anything?" I asked and she smiled more.

"Just wipe down the kitchen. It's good now, just needs a little spit shine." she told and I nodded and moved into the back and did as I was told. I was in my own world still wondering what these final year would bring to us.

"Evening Ms. Vivian." I heard a familiar gruff voice say which caused me to stop and lift m head up in recognition.

"Well hey there Officer Bowers. Didn't think I'd see you around here." I heard my mom say. Officer Bowers? Henry's dad? He's never stepped foot into het bakery why would he do so now.

"Yeah well, I've heard such good things about this bakery and everything 'round town talks about your sweets and I thought I'd just stop by and see how you're doing." he exclaimed. The hell does my mom's well-being have to do with the store.

"Oh Officer Bowers you're too kind." she told. I leaned in to the door listening more.

"Please, call me Oscar." he said. He had no idea, Henry and I were together, and I was sure he despised my mom and I. But now they're on a first name basis?

"Alright then. Oscar it is. Ready for the kids to start school again?" she asked.

"Yeah. Hopefully my kid can pass this time." he said and I could hear the scowl in his tone.

"Oh Henry is a bright boy. He must get it from you." Mom said and I peeked through the kitchen door to see Mom still sweeping while Officer Bowers watched with a bashful smile on his face.

"You're too kind Ms. Vivian." he said.

"Oh please, call me Viv." Mom said. Oh god no. No. No. No. I grabbed a sticky note and wrote that I forgot something at a friend's house and that I'd be home later. I definitely could not believe it. That man liked my mom… and she was being friendly, she must like him too! I moved out through the back door and jogged home. I had a car, but driving it made me nervous so I'd only use it for emergencies. After making it to his home, I jumped on to Henry's front porch and knocked on it quickly.

"Henry it's me!" I called out and there was silence for a moment. "Oh Henry please I have something to tell you." After a few seconds, the door was open and I was about to speak but my words were immediately caught in my throat and I just stared at a well-muscled Henry. His hair was still that deep honey blonde that was straight all the way down until it curled at his neck. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Only unbuttoned pants that were already starting to slide down his slim frame. With it being so hot, his torso shined a bit and he rested his arm over his head against the doorway. He smirked deviant like.

"What a coincidence," he said, his voice was low as well with an icy edge to it, "I was just about to come find you." I immediately bit my bottom lip forgetting why I had come. He leaned his hand out and gently curled it into the dip of my V-neck tank and slowly he just pulled me inside.

Author's Notes

So I had already had the entire plot for the sequel and I thought why make everyone wait. I'll continue on my wolves fic later on in the future but I do want to get this started since this has more to it. Also I have been into the whole Star Wars thing and may start a Kylo Ren x oc fic soon. Let me know your thoughts on that. Also this fic may have graphic scenes that some of you may or may not agree it. Just fair warning. Enjoy!
