Chapter five,

your dark secret, it's spilling

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Naomi was tugging on her boyfriends hand, dragging him out of the bathroom with her, "You didn't let me brush your hair." Chad had mumbled out, he had her pink hairbrush in his hand, as she given him a stern look, that now really wasn't the time for playful banter.

Anika had offered her a warm smile at her friend, as she didn't want to offer her any pity looks — She knew that Naomi despised the pity looks, it made her feel way worse, despite her not knowing anything, she could detect from her eyes, that she was far from okay, but she didn't want to be intruding, "I'm not sure, the reporter hasn't really announced anything yet." She shrugged her shoulders.

   The couple simply nodded their own head, his arms were wrapped around his girlfriends waist as she stood in his front, a moment of silence set in until Quinn spoke, amusement laced in her voice that no one detected, but Naomi and Ethan, "Are you still getting the nightmares?" Naomi stiffened against her own boyfriend.

   A figure had appeared, and simply narrowing his eyes on the reddish girl who was sat in the sofa, repressing a smirk to appear on her face, "Does your sister ever stop talking?" He huffed in annoyance.

   Naomi clenched her jaw, "Be quiet, Quinn."

   She had thrown her hands up in surrender. All while, everyone remained confused except for her boyfriend, he had simply detected her uncomfortableness, "I thought, that you said they stopped?" A frown appeared on his face, as Naomi told him differently, a couple weeks ago.

   Naomi has bit her bottom lip anxiously, she only lied because there were moments, that she felt guilty for always annoying her boyfriend with her stupidity nightmares, and blasting his phone with her calling him in the middle of the night, sobbing and just simply wanting him to check her apartment, the sound of creaks had always scared her, especially living alone.

   Stumbling with her words, guiltily eying her boyfriend upwards, speaking, "I'm —" She had sighed in pure relief when Anika Kayoko had gasped, capturing their attention, as she had quietly in her very own head had cheered in victory for being interrupted.

Anika speaking in simple concern, "Oh, shit. Get Sam! Someone go, and get her." They had all seen the screen, all of their eyes widening in pure shock.

Naomi easily felt her boyfriend removing his warm hands from her her waist, scrambling outside of the apartment, and shouting for Sam to come to the apartment, and more so quickly, he entered right back into the apartment, and had appeared back inside the apartment, their eyes quickly glanced at Sam who was simply entering with apartment boy who was behind her.

Sam furrowing her eyebrows, "What's going on?" Separating her arms, confusion appeared on her face when she seen everyone sitting in the sofa, Chad simply pointing his finger on the screen, her eyes widening a bit.

Naomi simply rolling her eyes at her sisters stupidity action, "Cute boy." Naomi simply had to refrain herself from mumbling out a snarky response to her, especially when this wasn't the moment for flirtation or inner jokes.

The reporter nonchalant speaking, ". . . I'm standing in front of the apartment building of the mutilated bodies of two college students."

Naomi simply felt her boyfriend stiffened behind her, he was worried — Since murders just remind him of last year, he didn't want to go through this, again. He also can't have his girlfriend to be in the midst of this danger, she means too much to him.

The reporter announcing the victims names, that had easily made their eyes widened, "Have just been released by police. Jason Carvey and Grey Bush. . ."

Mindy had adjusted herself in her seat, glancing at her friend group, "Holy shit, that's that chode from our film class. . ." She had continued to ramble, "The one obsessed with Argento." She given them a quick reminder.

   Their eyes went back to screen afterwards, the four woodsboro survivors gulping at this sudden information, "Also, found at the scene were various Ghostface costumes, a character popularized by the Stab movie franchise." The reporter announced.

   Ultimately, Sam's sudden frantic outburst had captured their attention, "Pack a bag. We leave in ten." Sam rambled towards her sister, as she had ultimately disappeared towards the kitchen, Tara on her trail afterwards.

   Tara, shouting in distress, "Sam, wait."

   The simple argument of the two sisters had made things a bit awkward until the apartment boy had easily spoken up, voice laced in pure confusion, "Wait, what?"

   Chad easily released his hands from his girlfriends waist, and was seen to be walking towards apartment boy, "Thank you, very much suspicious new guy. But, I think we've got it from here —" Chad grabbing onto his shoulders, walking him out of the apartment, and sarcastically smiling straight at him, "Have a goodnight, stay safe. Go, go, go." He shooed him away, slamming the door at his face.

   He strolled back towards his girlfriend who was girlfriend who was giggling, "You're so cute when you're protective." She grinned at him.

   He given her a playful wink, "Protective of you, especially." He has kissed her cheek, that made blush, immensely. Her two siblings had rolled their eyes, despite no one capturing their sudden action.

   Except the moment of happiness vanished within the two as the sisters entered back into the room, Tara arguing more so, "It's a big city. It's halloween everybody's wearing a mask." She huffed.

   Samantha given her a stern look, "Tara this isn't a coincidence." She remarked back, "You knew him." She given the obvious.

   Tara felt like pulling onto her hair, "Barely."

   Samantha had shook her head at how arguably ridiculous, her sister was sounding, she glanced at the twins, "Chad and Mindy back me up here." She called out.

   Chad had awkwardly began, "I mean it is a little bit. . ." He was keeping his girlfriend in place, comfort setting his body knowing that his girlfriend is in his arms, safe all while his twin sisters finished the statement, "Close to home." She lastly added.

   Tara felt ganged up on by her sister and the twins, so she quickly mumbled out towards the red hair sisters, "Naomi and Quinn? Your dads a cop, right? Can either one of you go and call him, and see what's going on?" She glared at her sister, as she continued to speak, "Before you make the unilateral decision to abandon my college education, and flee the fucking state." She sneered in venom.

   Naomi spoke up, "My phone's dead."

   Chad raised his eyebrow. That was a lie, he plugged in her phone to charge, and her phone is now in his pocket.

   Quinn who easily shot up from her chair, "Calling him now." She had passed her sister, a glare on her face.

   Tara who hollered, "Thank you."

   The room went silent until the sound of someone's phone ringing had captured their attention, flinching at the sudden sound. Sam, had easily began to approach the table, she had glanced down at her phone, and let out a scoff and hitting decline.

Ethan had been silent for quite awhile had mumbled out the most stupidest shit ever, "Why did everyone freak suddenly freak out when her phone rang?" His arms were crossed, and mouth slightly parted open.

Anika rolling her eyes, answering his question, "You gotta keep up my dude." She had practically scoffed.

Quinn had appeared back, and simply handing her phone to Samantha, "— My dad wants to speak to you." Sam nodded, as she had taken the phone as no one was hardly able to hear what was being said, that it wasn't until Sam handed the phone back, "I'll be back, I have to go to the station." Quickly grabbing her jacket, and walking out the apartment.

Tara following behind, "I'm going with her."

The room had shortly fell silent afterwards, especially with what they seen in the news, that until Mindy yawned, "Anika and I are going to head to our dorms." She stood up, and began to stretch her body.

Ethan who mumbled out, "Yeah."

The three had left the Carpenters apartment, and heading towards the same direction since their dorms were near by. The apartment had only left the red-headed sisters and Chad

Quinn was speaking kindly to her sister, but Naomi knew that it wasn't at all kindness, it was more so to get her boyfriend to leave from her, "Maybe, you should stay here, Naomi. . . I don't want you alone, especially if you're going to get nightmares." She retorted, sounding a bit gentle.

Chad who seen it was a good idea for his girlfriend, "And, Sam and Tara will be back soon. You won't be alone here." He given her a gentle smile.

Naomi knew exactly what Quinn was fucking doing here, she was trying to get her alone in a room with her, so she can begin to tell her shit, and Naomi wasn't having this at all, "No, I'm fine in my apartment, and I don't mind Chad to spend the night in my apartment." She easily grabbed onto her black duffle back that was on the floors

Chad remained silent, watching the argument. He never really understood what this hatred between the two girls were, he also noticed the hatred was more deeper than a sister snatching your favorite clothes without your permission, it was something else.

Quinn who stumbled out, "B-but you're my sister, I want you safe here." She attempted to sound worried.

Naomi had ultimately let out a extremely bitter chuckle, as she couldn't help but find this hilarious, "Eighteen years, and too fucking late. Let's go, Chad." She had gently tugged onto her boyfriends hands, as he had intertwined their hands together, walking towards the direction of the door.

Naomi had opened the door only to suddenly bump into someone who was standing in front of the doorway, "Quinn here?" Some unknown man asked, Naomi rolled her eyes.

Yelling out, "Quinn, your boy toy is here."

All while, Chad had remained silent and clouded in his thoughts — The only thing that was to be ringing in his ears is on what his girlfriend revealed, eighteen years and too fucking late. What did that sentence mean? Had it been someone in her house-hold that had been the one who was doing these awful things to her?
