Stanley and you came from different worlds.
Different religions. Families that would never have approved of what you did. That's why you kept it a secret; nobody knew, not even the Losers.
To everyone else, Stanley was only serious with you... Distant at times. No one imagined how often you two met in secret without anyone suspecting a thing.
Richie, on the other hand, was always by your side. You'd been best friends forever, you laughed together, you understood each other without speaking. You got along better with him than with anyone else in the group, and Stanley noticed that all too well.
They gathered at Ben's house to watch movies. Everyone was sprawled out in the living room. Richie sat down next to you without thinking, very close. He whispered something in your ear, and you both laughed.
From the other side of the room, Stanley didn't stop staring at them for a second.
You got up to go to the bathroom, and when you went into the hallway, Stanley reacted immediately.
"I'm going to get some popcorn," he said, too quickly.
She didn't go to the kitchen. She followed you down the hall. She caught up with you before you reached the bathroom door and spoke in a low voice, but one laden with something dangerous.
— You're having a lot of fun with him, aren't you? —
Stanley stares at you, jealousy poorly disguised in his eyes.
