don't fear the boogeyman

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Serena had sat on the edge of her bed, she had a towel wrapped around her head since she had basically showered, washing off the entire dried blood she had covering her body.

Still replaying the phone call she had with her friends parents earlier, she can still hear their crying vibrating inside her ears. The immense guilt she is holding inside of her, screaming on the inside, and taunting her on how this is her fault.

Overhearing the water being turned off, and capturing her instant attention. She had easily spotted Chad coming out the bathroom, towel wrapping around his waist, she had instantly clenching her thighs together. Water droplets were displayed on his stomach, and tensing his muscles allowing her to see his abs.

So, hot.

Chad had noticed where she happen to be glancing at, a smirk easily displayed on his lips while he had approached her, "My eyes are up here." He reminded her, he had softly used his hand to hold her jaw, tilting her head upwards where they simply maintained eye contact.

Serena who gave him a smile, her cheeks reddening, "I knew that, dipshit." She let that nickname slip out, a name that got under his skin.

   "Oh, we're going back to that little game of yours, Serena?"

   She had began scooting herself more backwards towards her own bed, legs easily bending on her bed, parting her legs open and allowing him to easily hover over her, she had easily felt some water droplets landing onto her skin and shirt, her legs lightly wrapping around his waist, and allowing him to use one of his hands to caress her thigh, his lips had easily attached to her neck, and lightly sucking and nibbling onto her own skin – a moan had easily escaped her lips.

   Fingers trailing up and down his back.

   Serena who had came back down to her own senses, "Wait, Chad. . ." Just that simple word had made him pause from doing anything else, and easily pulling away from her neck to glance at her face and easily recognizing that she was still shaken up.

   "What's the matter?" Concern was written all over his face, as one of his hands caressed her cheek, Serena who had just leaned her head more towards his hand, his warm touch on her skin made her really happy despite last nights occurrence.

   Also, reminding her that he was here with her. His touch was just a reminder that he was here, and wasn't going to leave her.

   She couldn't lose him, she already lost Anika.

   Serena had gently swallowed down her saliva when she had easily spoke to him, her hand that was easily caressing his back with her own finger nails, "I'm so, scared right now. I've already lost Anika, and I can't lose you, Chad. God, I can't lose you." She softly told him a tear rolling down her eye, Chad who easily wiped it with his own hand, leaning his head down as he kissed the top of her nose.

Chad who easily spoke to her, "I can't lose you either, Serena. . . I think I'm —" He paused at whatever he was going to say to her, it still felt slightly early into saying those three words, Serena who was just waiting for whatever he was going to say, "I'm the luckiest man to have ever met you, and once this is all over. . . I'm taking you out on a proper date. I want to do things right with you." Referring to how in his late relationship with his deceased lover, that he wasn't that good of a boyfriend.

   He'd do right by Serena Campbell.

   Serena who grinned at his comment, pulling him into a kiss that easily made him melt into it, and easily allowing her to gently place her hands on his chest, lightly pushing him around to her bedroom, and flipping their positions.

   She had been left straddling him, his hands easily found her hips just as he let out a groan when she scooted herself more down, and just applying slight pressure, "Get dressed, I'll go look in the kitchen for something to make us to eat, and watch a movie." She had easily began removing herself from his lap, and walking out her room.

Chad who remained mesmerized by her, and watching her leave the bedroom, "You're such a tease, Serena!" He had playfully groaned as he heard her chuckling, and allowing himself to sit up as he palmed his bulge, his eyes that were easily roaming around to find his backpack to change into comfortable clothing.

Serena who had been in the kitchen, a frown easily displayed on her lips, 'cause she couldn't find anything. She hadn't even had the chance to gone grocery shopping, and especially at this time because of all of this happening.

She called out, "Hey, Chad. There's nothing here in the fridge for me to make, I haven't gone grocery shopping. . . " Her body turning herself around, as he approached the kitchen 'cause he finished changing, "Especially, with all this Ghostface shit, I haven't had time." She apologized to him.

Chad who easily approached her and just reassuring, "It's okay, Serena. You still have that one taco place around the corner, right?" The only reason he had even known about this place was 'cause a couple months ago, she had brought everyone some of these taco's.

Serena nodded her head, "Uh, yeah. You wanna get us some taco's? I'll pay." She was about to head over to get her purse, so she can give him her cash already, all while he softly held her arm with his hand, and catching her attention.

   Chad gave her a cheeky smile, "It's on me, Serena. I don't mind paying for our food, and no buts —" He had stopped whatever she was about to say knowing she'd want to pay for at least part of it, "Horchata, right?" He knew her favorite drink, 'cause he always paid attention to her order.

   Serena eagerly nodded her head, "Yes, but you may have saved yourself this time around on paying, but next time it's on me." She given him a stern look.

   Chad who had leaned his head towards her, kissing her on the lips, and already heading out the door after kissing her, "I'll be right back, so please lock the doors, and I'll give you a call when I'm back." He had reassured her.

   Serena who was walking right behind him, "Okay, please hurry. I don't want to be alone in my apartment for too long." She had given him a soft smile before closing and locking up her apartment door.

   It had remained a peaceful silence in her apartment, Serena who was just in her kitchen began taking out two plates, and two glass cups for them. She would admit that peacefulness like this, and with the right company just feels right.

Instantly, jumping when her phone rang.

A smile displayed on her lips, running towards her phone and answering it excitedly, "Don't tell me you already got the taco's and horchata, Chad?" She playfully teased him.

Her face paled when she heard someone else, a voice that made her began to slightly tremble.

Hysterically chucking at Serena's own excitement, "So, cute. Too bad this isn't, Chad. Have you not learnt to never answer the phone, you dumb bitch?" He mocked her.

Serena who stood in the middle of her kitchen, "Don't you ever get bored of calling me?" She attempted to be bold, "Because, I'm already bored." She mocked him.

The voice chuckled, "That's a cute shirt you like butterflies?" Her body had immediately stiffened, glancing at her shirt.

"How do you know what I'm wearing?" Her voice began trembling in fear, as crashing was heard in her living room, a scream escaped her lips.

Her cat. . . he was murdered.

The voice breathed heavy, "Because, I'm in your apartment. . ." He taunted her as Serena had remained bent down towards her deceased cat, "Your boyfriend will never make it back on time." He taunted her.

Crashing was heard, again.

Body stiffened when she heard steps.

Turning herself around, eyes widening. She had immediately stood up, grabbing a vase that held flowers, it had just remained silent until he began running towards her, throwing the vase at his way that it shattered, and catching him off guard.

"Motherfucker!"

She immediately went towards her door, unlocking it and just as she was about to head out another one appeared her view, and the knife stabbing her in the stomach, removing it from her skin, gasping for air.

He had shoved her back into her apartment, Serena had fell into the ground, all while this one had bent towards her level, and shoving her more towards the ground, hand wrapping around her neck, "Just kill me, you stupid motherfuckers." She had yelled out, her eyes staring at him with hatred.

Using his fingers, and clicking the voice changer on so she wouldn't recognize his voice and expose them, "Not, yet sweetheart. Sam and you have a lot in common, I want to see you cause bloodshed like your father." He had snarled at her.

Serena who just yelled, using her hands to moving him away from her, groaning in pain from the stabbing, "I'm not my fucking, dad! I don't do shit like that!" She screamed, fighting him off.

The other voice had easily spoken, "He's here, we need to leave." Catching the one who was simply choking her into releasing her, and just allowing Serena to catch her breath.

"See you soon, Serena."

The two vanished, heading a different way.

Serena had remained conscious on the ground of her apartment, it was when she heard Chad speaking, "Serena, why's the door open?" It was then that he dropped the food, and drink and running towards her.

His hand was already applying pressure onto her stomach, he felt his eyes getting watery, "Stay with me, Serena! Someone, help!" He had screamed, repeating it over and over.

Someone had immediately opened their apartment, and entering where the screaming was coming from, and instantly dialing the police so they can come here, "Yes, someone's been stabbed in their apartment. . ." They left to stand outside, and allowing Serena to cough.

Her eyes remains focusing on Chad when speaking this, "Two. . . there was two of them in here." She had revealed.

His eyes had immediately widened at what she revealed, especially because this had gotten more dangerous than last year, what game were these two losers playing, or were there a possibility that there was more than two?
