Chapter three,

i need a cigarette

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

    NAOMI WAS EMOTIONAL, she has always been a very emotional person since she was a child. Perhaps, it escalated when she had seen how protective Samantha Carpenter is, a sense of jealousy she held over Tara Carpenter, she was so damn lucky.

   Just watching, and craving that sense of security from an older sibling, she got quite the opposite. She had lived in a tragic home with a monster, and those around her didn't believe her, except for her mom.

   Abruptly, her thoughts were interrupted when she had felt a comforting presence by her, "You okay, Angel?" Chad twirled her hair around, before instantly noticing her shivering, he shrugged his jacket off, as she had slid the jacket on, "Thank you, but aren't you going to be cold, though?" She had raised her eyebrow at him.

Chad shook his own head, and smiled at her as he had cautiously spoken, "I'm all good, wh—" He was abruptly interrupted, again but now with a different argument, it was a bit difficult to speak with his girlfriend, especially since it had captured their attentions, but Naomi had been able to shake her head, and was slightly ignoring the argument.

Naomi tugged her boyfriends hand, "What were you saying?" She gently smiled at him, as she was caressing his knuckles.

   He had just offered her a genuine smile, as concern was also laced in his voice, "You left, so abruptly, are you sure that you are okay? I've noticed. . . noticed that you stare longly at Sam." He gently mumbled out.

   Naomi's eyes widened, face slightly paling since this piece of conversation was heard by Ethan, she had began to nervously speak to her boyfriend, "I— No, I don't." She let out a slight nervous chuckle.

   The reasoning into why she just stares at Samantha Carpenter — Well, not even herself understands, perhaps it's mostly likely to just create a fantasy, or different scenarios. What if she was my sister? Her protectiveness? But, mostly appreciates what she did without even knowing.

   Samantha had simply done what she couldn't, kill her monster. And, for that she'll always be happy for, except now she was simply stuck with the last remaining kirsch, and she can't seem to escape because her dad will always find her, and hurt her.

   Sam will never even know that she's grateful because in the fucking end, she'll just look like a damn villain who was avenging Richie Kirsch death, but Roman Bridger begs to differ — His ghosty ghost has been spending quite the damn months teaching her tricks, but half of the time she is too cowardly to stand up for herself, and it simply aggravates him.

   Chad who was beyond clueless, he made a slight joke, teasing his girlfriend, "Someone's got a small little crush." He grinned at her, but he quickly spoken to her, again, "But, I'm still attractive, right?" He questioned her.

She knew that he meant no harm in that question, obviously since he hardly knows her entire background — She had kept some things behind his back, she had kept the person who assaulted her since a kid, a secret. She didn't even like keeping secrets from him, but she has no choice.

Naomi had to attempt to not make a face that can easily give in some things, or make her look like she was thinking about something, as she lightly chuckled at his comment, "I, so do not have a crush on her, Chad. But, is she hot? Hell yeah, but so are you, and that's why I had agreed to go on more coffee dates with you." She had kissed his jaw.

Chad had smiled, "I love our coffee dates. . ." He kissed her cheek before his eyes twinkled in excitement, and speaking to her, "We have to go on another coffee date, soon." The two haven't gone on a coffee date in several weeks, as they been doing pile of assignments for school.

Both were film majors amongst with their entire friend group. . . except, she didn't even want to major in film. She didn't want this, all her entire life people have been stepping all over her, and she didn't know how to stand up for herself.

And, now she was in this position.

Doesn't even know if she'll survive.

Naomi offered him half a smile, so she whispered back to him, ". . .Yeah, soon." Her voice slightly cracked that made him raise his eyebrow at her tone.

Recently, he has noticed how she detaches herself from them, especially from him. How she curls up in her bed, and silently cries, and he doesn't even know how to help her at times, especially when there's moments she doesn't want to communicate. So, he just hugs her as she curls up beside him, and is just to be seen quietly falling asleep in his arms.

   His attention was simply immediately brought towards the sisters, as he noticed his girlfriend along the friend group were simply watching this argument, it had seemed the argument was ending since he only managed to here Tara, "I - I know, I know you are." Tara had dropped her hands down, sighing deeply before she continued, "You, can't do it for the rest of my life though, you have to let me go." Tara given her sister a stern look.

   An unfamiliar woman's voice easily spoke to them, that it was beginning to capture all of their attentions, aggressively speaking towards them, "Hey!" They hadn't even noticed it, that it wasn't until they had felt droplets of soda on them, but the soda was directly more towards Sam who was drenched in soda.

   The same girl sneering, "Murderer!"

   Sam had instantly began shoving her, that it had easily made Chad run towards his friend to simply hold her back, Sam shouting, "What the fuck is wrong with you, bitch?" She had angrily spat at them, though mostly directed this to the girl in blue, "You got a problem with me?" She huffed.

   The girl in blue who noticed how the friend group were standing beside Sam in a protective manner, speaking directly at them, "You guys should stay away from her, she knows what she did!" She hissed, glaring directly at Sam.

   Naomi had practically scoffed. God, the Internet was insane, so it seems that her sisters rumors did spread around the Internet, and is painting Sam as the villain, her jaw clenched.

   Cause, if only they really knew that not is Richie Kirsch only a deranged serial killer, but also a rapist.

   This is her damn reality.

   Sam gritted her teeth, "I didn't fucking do anything." She declared once, again and simply ignoring all the cameras surrounding her.

   The girl in blue was simply just walking backwards with her group of friends, and had shouted back, "Oh sure, bitch!" She had lastly added before turning around, and walking with her friends as they vanished.

   The group of friends had began to walk ahead, Sam who remained alone, and leaving Naomi to whisper to her boyfriend, "I need a cigarette. . ." She easily deadpanned before adding one last thing, "And, a shower. I feel disgusting." It was then that Chad had quickly remembered the incident in the party, a rush of guilt set in himself, his girlfriend was sexually harassed, and he left her alone.
