THE TWO college students were laying in Ethan's bed. Aubrielle's head resting on the boys chest while his hand was tracing different shapes on the girls soft skin which made her close her eyes.

They had been like this since they finished and Ellie put her bra, underwear along with his shirt on.

        They had been brought out of their silence due to a loud ringing coming from Ellie's phone.

        Ethan groaned as she went to pick it up but held on her waist. "Ignore it."

        "What if it's important?" She quipped, looking down at the boy. "What if it's one of the others?"

        "They can take care of themselves. I want to be alone with you right now." He said looking deep into her eyes. He could sense a little blush covering her cheeks but she soon rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone.

        "It's Chad." Ellie told the boy making him roll his eyes. He's always ruining my moment. "Hey, Chad. What's up?"

        "Hey, uh, what's taking you and Ethan so long, huh?" Chad teased. "Thought you were changing."

        "I did change. We got caught up in something."

        "What was it?" Ellie could tell that the boy in the other side of the phone was wiggling his eyebrows, excited for both of his friends. Ellie for finding someone good for her after Wes and Ethan for finally getting the girl.

        "None of your business."

        "Tell her to get her v-card swiper ass over here!" The girl faintly heard Mindy shout.

        "Oh right, yeah, we need you and Ethan to get back here. We'll wait for you at the apartment. Gale wants to show us something." Chad informed the girl.

        While the conversation came to an end, Ethan was admiring the girl. He had a faint smile on his face and his hand was still under her shirt. Fucking finally. He thought as he stared at her.

        He was brought out of his thoughts as the girl began to speak, "Hey, we gotta go to, like, this rusty old movie theater. Gale wants to show it to us." He nodded his head as the girl stood up to switch back into her clothes resulting in Ethan to turn around. "You don't need to turn around, you know that, right?"

        "Yeah—Uh," The boy cleared his throat as he slowly turned back around as the girl put her shirt back on. "I knew that, I just—I wasn't sure." Why the fuck am I nervous? He thought. Yeah I was a virgin but I've talked to girl before.

        Ellie chuckled and put her sweat pants back on while Ethan picked up his shirt that she threw at him to put it on.

        After they were all dressed, Ethan grabbed the girls hands and brought her closer to him. Ellie looked up at him and let a smile take over her face. She got on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on his lips but before she could back away, he brought his hands up to cup her cheeks to make the kiss last longer.

        "We actually gotta go now." The girl said, a smile still present on her face.

        "I know. I know."

...

ELLIE AND Ethan arrived back to the apartment complex to see the cops and ambulance were all gone. How long did we take. Ellie thought.

        Ellie squeezed Ethan's hand as they walked over to their friends and Gale. "Hey! I'm surprised you're not limping!" Chad said.

        Ethan's face turned bright red and Ellie punched her friend in the arm. "Shut up? Maybe? Just a thought."

        Chad threw a thumbs up at his roommate then winked at him, ignoring the terrible gut wrenching feeling in his stomach. "See, I knew you could do it."

        "Shut up." Ethan told his 'friend', annoyed with his behavior already.

        Gale soon came up to Ellie, "Are you okay, Ellie?"

        "As okay as someone can be after they almost got murdered." The girl breathed out.

        "She's A-okay, alright." Chad muttered. Ellie punched his arm again, not even looking in his direction. "Ow!"

        "Then stop talking!" Ellie said before breathing in and out then taking a look at Gale. "I'm—sorry I punched you."

        Gale smiled at the girl as she shook her head. "No, you're not."

        "I'm not." Ellie said before a smile reached her face. "I am sorry about being a bitch towards you, though. What happened all those years ago with my dad wasn't your fault."

        "It's okay. sweetie." Gale smile once again then turned to Detective Bailey. "We should get going to the movie theater."

...

❝JASON AND Greg were little Atlanta rich boys." Gale informed the group, which now included Kirby. "Apparently, they used fake names to rent this place."

"How did you find it?" Kirby questioned.

"It's called 'investigation journalism' for a reason." Gale sassed at the FBI agent. "How didn't you find it? Weren't you tracking them?"

"I went through their financial records dozens of times. This was not in any of them. Doesn't make sense."

The group of nine eventually got into the theater with a key card Gale had. "What is this place? What's with all the security?" Sam asked, creeped out by the place surrounding her.

The light turned on, making Ellie jump from the sudden noise. "You okay?" Ethan asked the girl.

"Yeah, I'm good." She reassured him. "It startled me. That's all."

"This place isn't just a theater." Gale said. "It's a shrine."

A curtain went up, revealing each ghost face costume and clothes of all the victims and killers. It sent a shiver down Ellie's spine.

Ellie, still hold Ethan's hand, decided to go towards the glass box that had Wes' name inside and some of his items. There was a drawing and next to it was a picture the two took when they first started dating. It was at least eleven at night as the two laid on his bed and she laid on his chest but looked up at the boy. He was too busy smiling at the camera to notice how the girl was looking at him with love in her eyes and she was too busy looking up at Wes to notice he was even taking a picture. It was her favorite picture of them that it had been her background and profile picture on everything. But when the group moved to New York, they got new phones and new sim cards and the picture was lost.

Tears filled her eyes looking at the boy that could brighten a room up by just walking into it. She could barley hear everyone talking around her. Her brain was practically off.

Ellie was too busy looking at everything in the box that she didn't notice Ethan balled up fists, or the irritated expression on his face.

"He reminds me of you." She softly spoke to the boy next to her. "Sorry if that's weird—"

"It's not." He obviously lied but Ellie didn't catch that.

"He even laughs like you." She whispered.

Ethan was angry. Why couldn't she get over him already? He thought. Why him? Why not me? This thoughts were going through his mind fast he could barley hear any of them. His fist were balled up so hard that if he balled them up more he'd draw blood. He didn't know what was so special about Wes Hicks. He didn't know what Wes had that he didn't. From what he gathered from his brother is that he was a nerdy momma's boy who followed Ellie around like a puppy. Why she went for some like him, he'd never understand.

Ellie looked over to see Gale. She saw the sad face that was there and decided to walk over to her, leaving Ethan alone to look at the other pictures of Wes and Ellie. Pictures they probably got from the boys phone, other wise she didn't know how they got some of them.

Her and Gale look at the pictures of Dewey. Some consisted of all three, living their lives, being a family. Other were just Dewey, and some were Ellie and Dewey. If the pictures of Wes didn't make the tears flow from her eyes, the ones of Dewey most certainly did.

She sniffles a bit, making Gale grab her hand. "I'm sorry. For how I treated after dad's death. I — I just didn't know how to feel and I was scared."

"That's okay, Ellie." Gale softly told the girl, whom was in tears. Ellie engulfed the older women in a hug and she felt as tears left Gale's eyes.

"It's not. I did the last thing he probably ever wanted."

They we're snapped out of their moment when they heard Tara speak up. "Hey, how'd they get all this stuff? au mean isn't this evidence?"

Gale sniffles a bit while wiping her tears before answering Tara's question. "Well, cops like money, and evidence can get lost pretty easily."

"Or ghostface is a cop." Ellie mumbled.

"Um," Ellie heard. It was Ethan this time. "why am I here exactly? My alibi checks out."

Ellie had wandered over to Chad and Mindy looking at what she believed to be Nancy Loomis' outfit. "So I can keep an eye on you, roomie." Chad said.

"Ellie could've kept an eye on—"

"No more of that!" Chad interrupted the boy. "I've heard enough."

Ellie gave Chad a confused look as he actually sounded irritated. "You're the one joking about it all the time. I thought you were our number one supporter." She joked poking his side and Chad just looked at her. She couldn't tell what was going on through his mind but Ethan could tell. Anyone could tell, even if they were blind. He guessed girls were just blind to when someone liked them.

"So," Chad started while dragging Ellie up
the steps near Sam by her wrist. "somebody killed these chucklefucks and took over?"

"Someone who believes that Sam masterminded Woodsboro." Gale said.

"If this was a normal Stab movie, this would be the killers lair." Mindy told.

"Which means this isn't a normal Stab movie." Kirby interjected.

The whole thing made Ellie sick to her stomach. She's been through this before but it seemed worse this time. Scarier. She was frightened to say the least. Her whole body was leaned into Ethan's body while his arms were hold her close.

Ellie released herself from Ethan leaving the stage the same way Tara did. She walked into a room that was gladly empty. All she could think about was protecting her friends. She didn't care what happened at this point. Chad walking into the room brought her out of her thoughts.

"Hey," he spoke softly. "I know this is utterly terrifying—"

She breathed out a fake chuckle, "Understatement of the year."

"But at least we're not alone. We have each other. The Fantastic Five I mean."

"I know, I'm just scared. What if I go out the same way my dad did, or Wes did. I just have this horrible thought that'd they'd be disappointed in me, you know, for not being able to live."

Chad rolled his eyes at her statement. "Those two could never be disappointed in anything that you do." Chad told her. "The only time I've seen you're dad upset with you is when you got blackout drunk for your eighteenth birthday party." He chuckled.

"Yeah, he was pretty mad but it was one hundred precent worth it." She laughed along.

"And I don't think I've ever seen Wes upset with you. You could commit arson with his whole family inside and he'd still tell you how amazing you are. Because you are amazing."

Ellie smiled up at the boy that she's known her whole life. "You're really good at making people feel better."

"Thanks."

"No, thank you for not letting me burst into tears. And thank you for also being my best friend." She said giving him the biggest hug ever.

Chad didn't even let the 'best friend' hurt his feelings as the girl hugged him. He'd never had a hug with this many emotions in it that it was almost overwhelming. "Anything for you."

"Do you really not trust Ethan?" She asked moving out of the hug.

"I want to. But if he is, I have to keep you safe. And even if he's not, it's easier to have him stay with us. I don't want a do-over if last year." He said referring to Wes' death that really put a toll of Ellie.

"I trust him." She said with a faint smile of her face that if you didn't look hard enough, you'd miss it. Chad noticed it. "I don't know what I'd do if he was ghostface. I just know that it'd fucking suck."

Chad eyed her before looking ahead. "Yeah."
