《Relentless》Flashback
Advertisement
You remembered everything vaguely.
It all happened so fast and you couldn't tell what you exactly saw.
A shadow was peering over you as you ran out of the park.
The voices grew louder, but it was if you were the only one that could hear them.
They whispered your name over and over, but where the hell were they coming from?
"y/n"
"y/n"
"y/n"
"y/n"
The deep meniacing maniacal voices kept taunting you as they said the most random shit, making you nearly piss yourself.
'What if you weren't hearing these voices, and they were just a figment of your imagination?'
'Perhaps.'
'The things school does to you.'
There was nothing to lose, and you left everything behind besides your phone.
No way in hell were you going to lose almost a thousand dollar phone over something you didn't know was real.
But you didn't realize until you came home.
By that time, everything was back to 'normal.'
Exhausted from running like a maniac, you were on the verge of collapsing.
You hurried to bed and threw yourself onto it, as in pleading "take me!"
Quickly, you drifted off to sleep, not wanting to believe you've gone crazy.
This was all just a bad nightmare..

"Earth of y/n"

"Uhh, Earth to y/n?"
Steve was snapping his fingers across your face in an attempt to catch your attention, and he definitely did.
You shook your head and stared at him annoyed.
"what?"
"Well, you seemed to be stuck in this trance for about 5 minutes. I didn't know what to do so..."
"Oh, really?" you asked slightly embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry."
He sighed, "it's okay."
His attention went back to the note.
"So you won't tell me who's that secret admirer of yours?"

You shrugged.
"It doesn't even say who. I have no idea."
"Well, whoever it is sucks at it."
"sucks?"
He pointed at the balloon.
"C'mon, if he really wanted to impress you, he.."
"or she" he gave you a wink, and you playfully hit the side of his arm.
"Goodness no."
but the idea of a girl hitting on you, caused you to blush a bright pink."
"Who knows, but I doubt it. Girls are usually good at these kind of things. I doubt any chick would've done it."
He does have a point, but who in the hell would ever send me just a balloon, let alone anything.
What if it wasn't anyone from school?
Who would've known it was YOUR backpack, YOUR shit, and YOUR belongings.
Who would've known where you lived, besides Steven?
It didn't add up.
This was giving you a headache and gave up knowing who it was.
'Fuck it.'
You smiled at the small gesture, even though you were slightly creeped out.
But you were thankful you had your belongings back.
"Doesn't matter. Let's go back to work."
"Yes ma'am" he said as he gave you a quick salute.
'cute'.
Things we're starting to go off well, and you've managed to start the project off with Steven swiftly.
After an hour or two of researching about the topic, both of you were tired and have had enough for the day.
"Today we were pretty productive. Good job, Steve-O."
"Steve-O?" He chuckled.
"Cute."
"I'm sure we'll be done with this soon, y/n."
The clock read 3 am.
It was time for him to leave.
He packed his belongings and headed towards the door.
It was too late for him to go out at a time like this.

Although you didn't love of the idea of having company, you had no other choice.
As he was about to exit the door, you called his name out.
"Steve!"
He turned around and stared at you.
"Yes hun?"
"Stay."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
He came back inside and put his belongings on the table.
"I swear I won't do anything bad."
"I know, I know."
He wasn't that bad of a guy.
After getting to know him a better from the past few hours, you got a better understanding of him.
But you didn't trust him entirely either.
"Thanks, y/n. You're the best."
"No probs, Steve."
You moved his belongings to some Cubby's you bought in the summer.
"You're stuff will be here. Just in case you wonder where you're stuff has gone to."
He nodded, and replied with a 'thanks.'
Now what to do with him..
'Where will he be sleeping for the night?'
It seemed that he was thinking the same.
"y/n, mind if I crash on the couch?"
You were about to suggest for him to accompany you in your bedroom chamber, but that would be a bit too much.
Couch it is then.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll get you some blankets."
You left the living room and went to fetch a blue blanket and white pillow for Steven.
"Will that be all?" You asked as you gave him the materials to borrow for the night.
Without even asking, he gave you a quick peck on the cheek, and smiled.
"That'll be all, Hun."
You weren't sure whether to slap him or not, but you couldn't help but feel flustered and left quickly to be unseen.
"What an idiot.."
.
.
.
.
.
Pennywise stared through the window watching as Steven carelessly flirted with y/n without her/him even realizing.
There was a slight tang of jealousy and he pouted. He barely even knows y/n!
But he's already claimed her/him as his.
Mine...mine...mine..
Not certain whether for food, or perhaps more? Pennywise was never sure about his feelings towards anyone, but what he did know for sure was that y/n was special. She would be saved for last.
Y/n was merely food..that Steven happen to interrupt Pennywise from devouring.
The way y/n quivered, shaked.. completely out of his/her mind. The clown licked his lips, and closed his eyes and remembered their brief encounterment.
Poor darling, he/she had no idea what was going on. Has y/n not been taught not to go out late at night, or the terrible boogie man will get them?
Tsk. Tsk.
What a mistake. But what a wonderful mistake.
Pennywise continued to watch the two as they parted ways for the night. This made the clown happy, as they would no longer be together. At least not making any physical contact.
It appeared that he'd be staying for the night, and that bothered Pennywise. He shrugged it off, and decided he'd plan to pay them a visit later on in the night. IT just had to qait for the perfect moment.
He/she won't be expecting..

A/N: 😎Sup my losers.😎
I know, I know.
I'll try and be quick with the updates.

(Yeah, yeah. Laugh all you want.)
