[4.“I should have told you a long time ago.”]||[49.“I don’t want to screw this up.”]

Context Summary : At this point Faith has been friendly and close with Henry. could even be considered dating; When Faith moved back Reggie was taken back by the very drastic change in how she acted and looked, hell even her mentality. He tried asking her out after he pulled her to the side the day she came back to school and she was heading towards the lunch room; though he was shot down as she finally remembered who he was. She didn’t want to deal with that again or that heart break since she did love him back then, and deep down still does. Fast forward a bit and the following below is where we are now.

[Word Count : 4,773]

It was Music Festival day, it was spring break and it was warming up. Faith was very clearly excited as her band mates; Russell, Matthew and Christopher were coming into town today and she was a little ancy since Chris had to go and say there was a surprise coming for her too. She was waiting around back behind the stage as she waited on her Friends and as others put it her Boyfriend were about to show up as well.

A van and a very nice car had pulled up and she pulled away from the wall and lifted her sunglasses up and quickly got overwhelmed with excitement as Russell and Matt stepped out of the van. Instantly she ran towards them and Jumped into Russell’s arms before pulling Matt into the hug as well, “I’ve missed you guys so much!!! i’m so happy you’re here and we get to play a gig and a big gig and that you guys get to meet everyone” She was cut off by Chris stepping out of the nice car and speaking up “What’s this? i don’t get a hug?” he spoke in a very clearly sarcastic tone as if he was offended. after she was set down by Russ she Ran over and nearly tackled Chris to the ground and hugged him tight “Oh shut up dumbass, i was planning on it! i thought you were in the back of the van– When did you get a car?” she was once again set down as she pointed towards the yellow SS Chevrolet chevelle. stepping away from Chris, she walked around to the passenger side and admired it. very clearly falling in love with the car as she spoke up “this is the SS 70′s model isn’t it? maybe 69?” looking up at Chris then over to Russell and Matt as they both had walked over at this point. “See? I told you she’d know what car it was. you owe me 20 bucks Matt” Chris chuckled holding his hand out and that resulted in Matt rolling his eyes and taking his wallet out and handing him a 20, “There you prick–” he refuted back after handing him the money. “Pffft– you guys are like little kids.. But Chris seriously, where the hell did you get the money to buy yourself a handsome car like this?” she spoke up and was being actually very curious about it.

“Oh– it’s not mine. It’s yours.”

“… Excuse me?”

“This handsome Fellow is yours. if i bought a car it would be red or something–” he took the keys and tossed them to her as her eyes clearly lit up and seemingly stars danced around in her eyes. her band-mates smiling as a her big grin plastered itself across her face, “There’s that smile we missed” Russell spoke up and gestured back towards the field that sat in front of the stage “Weren’t there people you wanted to introduce us to?” Russell asked as the other two looked at her. snapping back to it she nodded and ran back around the car and started walking towards the trans-am that was parked at the other side of the field. lifting her hand up she waved towards the group that stood around the car. her friend Karizma was the first to run over and meet her half way. and her boyfriend Vic followed behind her as he didn’t feel like running.

Karizma and Vic introduced themselves to her band-mates as Faith had ran over to the trans-am and hugged the person everyone referred to as her boyfriend since she spent most of her time with this guy, holding hands and all that junk. this boy was named Henry. though they hadn’t said they were dating to anyone they didn’t deny it either. And Reggie stood there leaning against his car. Rolling his eyes a bit as he looked away and kept his arms cross as he wasn’t very happy that Henry got to her first when Reggie had been talking about how he would show he had changed and wasn’t the same guy he was when she left.. but Henry got to her first.

She let go of Henry as he stepped up to her bandmates who towered over him, Russell clearly giving him a glare and Chris was doing the same though Matt was the one to actually start the conversation between the four of them. Faith stepped towards Reggie and stood next to him leaning against his Car. “Will you come say hi?… at least introduce yourself? They are important people to me and i know i don’t say it much to you myself but you are important to me too-” she was quickly cut off by Reggie as he spoke up, “I’ll introduce myself but that’s it.” clearly he was upset about something and she pulled away from the car and turned her head a bit as she seemed to narrow her eyes at him “What’s your damage Reggie?” “Nothin’ you need to be worrying about.” he turned his head to face her as he kept his arms crossed against his chest as he didn’t move an inch from his car. “You know what, fuck it. I’ll see you after the show Reginald.” she walked away and waved as she stuffed her hand into her back pocket putting her new keys there as she walked past her band-mates and her friends back towards the van to start unloading things.

Russell looked at her then back at Reggie, who at this point he had pulled away from his car and his hands where resting at his side as he was very clearly watching her walk away. he stepped away from the group conversation and walked over to Reggie. “I’m Russell.. the lead guitarist– and basically Rebel’s big brother.. You good dude?” he leaned against Reggie’s trans-am and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and put one between his lips as he offered one to Reggie. Reggie had turned and looked at him and took the cigarette from him and pulled out his own lighter. after it was lit and he let out a huff of smoke as he finally spoke up “I’m Reggie… Everyone calls me Belch though.. and she’s clearly pissed considering she used my full real name..” “What did you do to tick her off so bad?” Russell pulled the cigarette away from his lips looking at him at this point as he knew when she used people’s full name she was pissed if she normally referred to them by a nickname. “I—… i’ve been distant with her. ever since she has been “dating” Henry… and-” “You really love her don’t you?” Russell cut Reggie off and Reggie’s eyes widened a bit as he sincerely hoped that Henry didn’t hear that. though he wouldn’t say it out-loud with Henry around as he has expressed how much he knows he fucked up back then and wishes he could show her how he has changed to Karizma and Vic. Nodding he looked down at the ground as Russel looked up and back towards the van where Faith was unloading the things she needed to. “You know she wrote a few songs about you back in NYC?.. though she couldn’t remember your name they are about you now that i’m thinking about it..”

Reggie’s head had lifted at this point and he looked at Russell clearly surprised as he almost choked on the smoke he inhaled “are you serious?” “I’m not one to lie about anything. so yes im very fuckin’ serious. though they are about the pain she was feeling at the time and what she remembered it makes sense now.” he shrugged and took a long drag looking at him. “God dammit… i really fucked her over..” “Yeah you did– she didn’t date anyone in NYC. she was constantly saying “There’s a guy back in the town i used to live in… it feels wrong to be with anyone else when he was with so many others while with me..” she’s a loyal person Reggie. though she may not admit it and even if she is dating someone else now. you were the first person she loved like that. keep that in mind.” Russell pushed off the car and started walking as he put his cig out by stepping on it as he called for Matt and Chris “Dumb-asses lets go help Rebel unload. she’s been doin’ it by herself for so damn long you know damn well she can’t drag those drums out by herself.”

Vic walked over to Reggie as his was clearly shocked by something. Karizma following close behind Vic they both stood on either side of Reggie and spoke up. “Belch you good?” Vic asked, “Uh…yeah.. i will be..” Reggie responded as he put his cigarette out after tossing it.

Vic and Karizma had wandered off to get some food and spend some time alone, Faith and her band were setting up on stage. so it was Henry and Reggie left alone standing by the Trans-am. though people were talking around them and there was noise happening it was one of the most awkward silences for Reggie between himself and a person he used to consider his best-friend.

The losers had shown up and Faith was sitting on the edge of the stage and so were her band-mates so they could talk to them as Henry let out a groan “I get that they are her friends and all but seriously? they’re here too?”. Reggie furrowed his brow and looked at Henry a bit confused as he seemed buddy-buddy with them she she was around him. “Uh— they’re here to support her that’s why?” “Yeah i’m not a dumbass but we both know damn well that trash-mouth is looking at her in the way he does cause he’s a fuckin’ perv.” Henry looked over at Reggie who was still a bit taken back whenever Henry would change so quickly compared to when he was around Faith. She was wearing a Guns n’ Roses t-shirt that was pretty big on her and worn down, cut into a muscle shirt and hung off her shoulder, showing a bit of her Yellow bralette and its strap, the Guns n’ Roses t-shirt was tucked into her high-waisted cut off shorts that were fraying at the bottom of them and some yellow pf flyers. so she was showing a lot of skin and honestly didn’t care clearly.

“I mean– she can dress how she wants? if she’s happy with how she looks and if she feels good wearing it why do you have’ta be a dick about it? people are gonna look. most girls around here don’t dress like that dude.” Reggie refuted a bit as he looked straight ahead. Henry scoffed a bit and shrugged “You have a point but i get to see that off her later~” he laughed a bit as he said that last part. Reggie went a little wide eyed before furrowing his brow clearly ticked off by it. Luckily just in time Vic and Karizma had come back and quickly noticing something was wrong. Vic dragged Reggie away to let him cool off so there wasn’t a fight breaking out before the gig and Karizma keeping Henry by the trans-am

[Fast forward to after the gig was over]

Stepping off the stage Faith sat down on the steps of the back of the stage and let out a loud huff as she was surprised she didn’t collapse due to how bad her stage fright was but listened to what Matt told her, that she just needed to breath and pretend she was in a room with one person she cares about. that really helped. She was quickly picked up by Chris who spun her around while hugging her “YOU DID SO FUCKING GOOD REBEL!” he yelled as he then set her down. “Hey you guys good with loading the van up on your own? i need to go talk to someone..” they all nodded and started to take their set down off the stage as she walked across the field once more and towards Reggie who was the only one at his Trans-am and his hand was on his cheek.

Furrowed brow she looked at him worried as she looked around,

“Where did the others go?”

“Vic and Karizma took Henry home towards the end of your set..”

“Why?…”

“No reason..”

“Bull-fucking-shit don’t lie to me Reginald. “

“Him and I got into a fight is all. why do you have to fuckin’ know everything?”

“Oh i don’t know cause you two fucking fight like cats and dogs if you aren’t picking on someone else? and speaking of “having to fucking knowing everything” why the hell are you holding your cheek? Did he deck you that hard or did you fall?”

“None of your business…”

“Yes it fucking is. You’re coming home with me to get you a fucking ice pack for that and treat whatever the hell else fucking Bowers did. you stay right fucking here or so fucking help me i’ll hit you 10x harder than he did if you leave.” she demanded and clearly she was angry. she ran back across the field and gave her keys to Chris so that he could drive her car back home after they were done loading since they were staying in her house. coming back she snapped her fingers and pointed at the car. “Get in dumb-ass.” said as she walked around to the passenger side and slid into the car.

[Skip forward a bit, back at Faith’s house.]

She unlocked her front door and dragged Belch inside and made him sit down in the living room on the couch as she walked into the kitchen and got a ice pack, walking back she handed it to him as she sat down next to him on the couch after putting on some music so it wasn’t quiet.

After a moment of music filled silence between the two she looked over at him “Why did you two fight this time?…” asking a bit quietly he kept his eyes averted from her as she would grumble a bit as he didn’t respond. Sitting up straight she placed her on his jaw and turned his head to look at her “It’s rude to not respond to someone’s question.”

“Yeah i get it…. it’s just… there’s something i should’ve told you a long time ago Faith…”

“Okay now you’re scaring me Reggie… what’s wrong?” she pulled her hand away from his face and let her hand rest against the couch as she looked at him with worry. he let out a shaky sigh as he spoke up “Just don’t hit me after this” he said a bit quietly as her eyes widened a bit surprised by this statement as she was about to speak up she was then cut off by Reggie’s lips pressing against hers as the ice pack was away from his face and sitting on the couch and his hand was now against her cheek. her eyes went completely wide as she felt something completely different than when she kissed Henry, let along anyone else or even years ago when she kissed Reggie for the first time.

She grabbed his wrist after finally registering what was happening at the moment and placed her other hand on his chest and pushed him away as she pulled his hand away from her face “Reggie what the hell?! are you kidding right now are you really fucking kidding me right now?!”

“I should’ve told you a long time ago but i was a fuckin’ chicken-shit about it alright? I did what i could to change. so that i was able to be someone to be loyal to you. and just you. i get it i fucked up last time–” he trailed off a bit as she was surprised to hear any of this coming from him. Reggie, One of the people in the Bowers gang that pick on people and is a bit of a dick. The guy who drove around Derry like a bat outta of hell.

“Goddammit Reggie… are you fucking kidding me right now… Why do you have to do this to me…” Standing up she rubbed her face and shook her head quickly and pointed towards the door. “Go. Take the ice pack and go… I’ll talk to you soon. just please go right now…”

“Faith I didn’t want to ruin anything if you had anything going with Henry–”

“But you just kissed me. YOU KISSED ME. AND NOW I’M CONFUSED. JUST PLEASE GO. I’LL TALK TO YOU SOON.”

Reggie picked the ice pack up and walked towards the door, stepping back a bit as Russell, Matthew and Christopher walked in, he let them pile in and walk into the living room before he left and slammed the door behind him. Russell looked outside the window and watched him speed out of her dirt driveway he then looked back as she crossed her arms and seemed to shut in on herself as he spoke up “What happened here…?”

About a week later and back at school Faith pulled up in her car, Kenickie. parking it she pulled her keys out of the ignition and grabbed her bag from the passenger side. Stepping out of the car she locked it and put her bag over her shoulder as she waved to a few people then looked over at Reggie. Henry standing near him as they hung around the Trans-am, Vic and Karizma chilling on the other side of it she quickly made a b-line for the school and went inside as she couldn’t really be around Henry or Reggie let alone both at the same time. walking to her locker she quickly put in the combo and was quickly greeted by a yellow rose falling out. very confused as she had only given Karizma her locker combo. picking it up she put her bag in her locker. she turned and saw Stanley and Bill walking up to her, “Hey guys did you see who unlocked my locker?..” she asked a bit surprised as she was still confused

“No i didn't–” Stan turned and looked at Bill as he spoke up “K-Ka–Karizma w-wa-was the o-on-one who d-di-did it” he shrugged as he answered her question. Faith nodded and grabbed her books out of her locker and put the rose back inside. closing it she headed to class even if she wasn’t going to be able to focus on the lesson.

After the bell rang to let them go to lunch she was quickly out the door and back at her locker as she grabbed the rose and basically threw her books in before slamming it shut and running towards the doors of the school. after basically jumping off the front steps she walked quickly over to Henry and turned him around “Did you get Karizma to open my locker so you could put this in there?” she held up the yellow rose and he looked confused before anger clearly plastered itself across his face as he walked away. “Henry!” watching him walk towards Reggie and Henry grabbing the back of his shirt and turning him around as he punched him pretty hard. hard enough to knock him on his ass.

Her eyes widened as she quickly walked over and put her hands on his chest pushing him away as she stood between the two of them, Vic and Karizma had just stepped out and were watching the whole thing as Faith looked at Henry as if telling him to back off “What the fuck are you doing Henry?!”

“HE WAS THE ONE THAT GAVE YOU THE DAMN ROSE. I SAW IT ON HIS FUCKING DASHBOARD THIS MORNING.” yelling rather loudly, Henry was visibly shaking as he clenched his fists. “Henry, Go over there. go fucking cool off.” Vic had walked over at this point and turned Henry around and walked him away from Faith and Reggie at this point. Karizma slightly acting as a boundary between the three of them; Faith turned around and helped Reggie up as she placed her hand on his cheek and rubbed it a bit though he flinched he stayed there, leaning into her hand. she spoke up as she pulled her hand away; “Did you really get Karizma to open my locker to give me this…?”

“Well yeah… i wasn’t lying to you that day during spring break-” Reggie was interrupted by Faith refuting back with “Reggie… I don’t want to screw this up– so just be quiet.. I’ll talk to you later alright?” her tone softened and trailed off as she walked around her friend and towards Henry, keeping the rose in her left, and with her right she intertwined her fingers with his and started walking away.

Karizma turned around to look at Reggie after seeing Faith walk around her and towards Henry and walk away hand in hand with him. Glancing back at Victor as if asking him to join her she stepped to Reggie and rubbed his back as his shoulders had sunk down at this point and he just looked down at the ground after watching Faith walk away.

“I’m sorry Dude…. Just— She said she would call you right? Later?.. just– talk to her during that call okay? I’ll see you after school. Avoid Henry– he will probably punch you again ” though trailing off a few times as she spoke to him she meant what she was saying even if she would look at her own boyfriend for confirmation. She wanted the two of them together, Knowing and seeing how much he had changed. she really wanted them to get together.

The following week seemingly trudged along with, awkward silences around each other, avoided eye contact and little to no conversation between Faith and Reggie. not only was it awkward for them it was painfully awkward for Victor, Karizma and those just around them… But between Reggie, Henry and Faith there was a thick tension. mostly between Reggie and Henry. it was easy to tell if it was that awkward between so many people and just people around them at the time if Karizma couldn’t stand being around it. after long moments of silence being heavily greeted with the thick blanket of tension it was quickly broken with “Let’s go talk to Trashmouth!” from her lips and dragging Victor along with her. “You don’t ever like talking to him-” “ LETS GO SAY HI TO TRASHMOUTH”.

These moments continued for the rest of the week and the week after, Often Faith if stuck with Henry and Reggie alone she would try to get away but was quickly grabbed and had her hand held rather tightly by Henry. almost to the point she was losing feeling in her hand before she’d pull her hand away as hard and quickly as she could and stating she was going home or somewhere else just to get away. as Henry seemed to become more aggressive with her if she was going to walk away when with both himself and Reggie, or if Reggie was just simply mentioned that he would be stopping by or hanging out with them.

Due to these aggressive interactions and conversations between Faith and Henry, she started to spend less time with him… But more time with Reggie. though it was awkward for the most part it wasn’t too bad after a bit. She preferred the awkward moments more than the aggressive ones she was stuck in while around Henry. and that’s saying a lot if Faith preferred the awkwardness, she typically couldn’t stand awkward moments in the slightest. though after listening to music and talking about that mostly it made it less awkward and more pure. it was easier to withstand than being around Henry at all.

Though Henry had changed after spending time with her for a few months and wasn’t bullying people as much as he once was he seemed to be reverting back to how he used to be after Karizma accidentally let it slip during one of their conversations that Faith was spending the day with Reggie, though Faith had told Henry that day that she was just going to stay home. “Maybe she’s avoiding you because well… her hand was bruised from you holding it too tight and where you grabbed her arm as well was bruised… her and her Dad moved back because her mother was… physically aggressive towards her. that and the Job transfer as well.. she doesn’t deal with aggression like that well.. so maybe she would prefer to be in a awkward environment than a aggressive one..” Karizma would explain before she’d walk away and try to find Victor.

about two weeks later Faith was pulled to the side by Henry. rubbing the back of his neck he groaned and looked at her “I think we should break up.” her tense posture loosened after hearing what he said as she nodded and accepted rather quickly what was happening, “You’re spending more time with Blech then you are with me, plus you won’t put out. every time I tried you would tell me “it’s not the right time” or “it doesn’t seem right”… Hell you smile a smile with him that I have never seen before when you were with me… I’m not an idiot, I know you like him.” he put his hands into his pockets as he looked at her as if waiting for tears or some yelling but there was none of that. she was actually pretty calm about it, she didn’t see a point in yelling in the hallway let alone at all. if he wanted to break up then he wanted to break up. she couldn’t change that even if she wanted to.

“I understand that Henry… and you’re not wrong. I didn’t realize i had feelings for Reggie.. but I do. but that doesn’t mean the feelings I had for you were any less true… but I get it– Do you want your stuff back from my place-”

“Know what fuck it, keep the stuff I don’t give a shit.” he refuted back with a aggressive tone while cutting her off. she unfolded her arms and furrowed her brow, throwing her arms up as she started to walk away she turned to face him as she did so “Know what Henry? You can talk to me again when you want to act like an Adult. until then don’t talk to me. don’t start shit with me or about me, cause i’ve had it. I’m not gonna deal with it.”

Around mid may Faith and Reggie had officially gotten together. Henry seemed to fully revert back to his very violent bullying towards younger kids, on occasion towards those apart of the Loser’s Club. though the one thing that seemed to kick him in the gut is when Victor told him he wouldn’t be walking to school with him since Henry wasn’t getting rides anymore. “Why the hell not?”, “Because… i’m already getting a ride from Faith…and later i’ll be hanging out with Bill and his friends…” Victor trailed off and adjusted his bag “Why are you hanging out with Loser’s like them-” “Because they are actually pretty cool Henry. they’re fun to be around..I’ll see you later Henry.” Victor walked away and was picked up a few blocks later. later on that day Faith felt a tap on her shoulder and a hand in front of her face as if asking to be shook. “Truce?…” Looking up she was surprised to see it was Henry. though a little skeptical she leaned away and spoke up “You gonna act like a big kid now?” “Maybe…” “Maybe isn’t a answer Henry.” as she was going to turn back around to her food she jolted hearing him say “Fine! i get it i was a dick. but can we please call a truce? i’d like to at least be friends..”

Turning to face him she smiled a bit and shook his hand nodding “Fine, Truce… are you hungry? I have some extra stuff I packed if you want it- “ she was quickly cut off by him blurting out “Yes!” and reaching over her to grab the extra sandwich she made and grabbing a chair from another table and sitting on it. Even if it was a bit awkward but it was nice to be acting like friends again.
