The Bellbrooks had lived in the rich side of Woodsboro, California for many generations. Harold Bellbrook had grown up as a rich kid with a heart of gold thanks to his mother's kindness and her more humble life prior to meeting his rich father. However, Harold's money came from owning his own four star hotel in the town of Woodsboro, the place was well known as simply The Bellbrook and many adored the place as it bought tourists into the small town helping its economy. Harold Bellbrook met Anne Telford in high school and the two were engaged in their first year of college together.

Harold and Anne Bellbrook had their daughter, Estella Bellbrook in their last year of college together. Estella was a happy baby who rarely cried and pretty much always slept, she was an even happier toddler who barely got up to mischief. And while she was spoiled by her parents, they worked hard to keep her humble. Unfortunately, Anne Bellbrook had decided that life as a mother wasn't what she wanted and Estella was only ten years old when she watched her mother walk out the door and never look back. But sweet Estella didn't have the time to worry about that, she had her father and his best friends there whenever she needed them.

Harold's best friends since childhood were Victor Weston and Jimmy Lawrence, the fathers of Talia Weston and Nicole Lawrence; Estella's best friends since birth. The three girls were as inseparable as their respective fathers were, often seen together or never too far from one another. They were a happy family, spending every holiday together and just hanging out having a BBQ or movie night every Saturday. Their lives were genuinely perfect for them, they didn't care for the town gossip or their rumours about why the mother's were gone because they had all they needed to get by happy in their lives.

"Those three will be inseparable once they're older," Harold Bellbrook said as he, Jimmy Lawrence and Victor Weston sat together on the back porch watching their respective daughters play out in the yard. "Just as inseparable as the three of us," Jimmy replied with a chuckle before sipping from his beer. "It's early stages, my daughter could turn into her mother," Victor added making the two men laugh. They had all lost their wives in some form. Harold lost his wife to her dreams of a life more "fulfilling" than being a mother. Victor lost his wife to someone he had hired and trusted into his business; they were younger too. Jimmy, however, lost his wife to a car accident; she was the only real mother the girls ever had.

"Hey guys!" Hank Loomis greeted as he walked around the side of the house, his wife and son alongside him. "Hey Hank!" Harold greeted as he stood up and shook Hank's hand before kissing Nancy Loomis cheek as the Loomis boy makes his way over to the girls. "Hey Stella," Billy Loomis greets with a smile on his face, Talia and Nicole making kissy faces at Estella from behind the boy causing her to fight off a blush. "Hi Billy," Estella greeted when the Macher family showed up, their son Stuart Macher rushing over and tackling Billy resulting in the two boys pinning Estella down as well.

"Ow..." Estella breathed out, both eight year old boys looked at the blonde with wide eyes before shoving at each other to get off of her. "Are you two idiots!?" Talia snapped as she and Nicole pulled the two off of Estella. "It's okay, girls. I'm okay," Estella assured them as she got up, brushing down her dress before adjusting her headband. "Sorry Stella," Billy and Stuart spoke in unison making the girl smile brightly at them before she grinned, stepping forward to kiss Stuart on the left cheek and Billy on his right cheek before running off with the two girls teasing her. "Holy smokes..." Billy breathed out dreamily, Stuart grinning like a child on Christmas.

It was an early Monday morning in the last week of September, Estella Bellbrook at the age of seventeen was waking up slowly from a decent night of sleep when an arm rested across her chest from her left side followed by a leg overlapping over her own from her right side. Estella smiled sleepily as she blinked her eyes open looking to her left where her best friend, Nicole Lawrence's ginger hair was a mess over the pillows with her eyes closed and slight drool seeping from her parted lips. Estella then turned her head to the right to see her other best friend, Talia Weston who was also asleep with light snores escaping freely.

Estella pushed the two girls body parts off of her own and climbed her way out knowing she was the only one who woke up early in the morning. The blonde was silent as she grabbed what she needed for a morning shower, her room was barely lit up by the fairy lights that stayed on for both vibes and due to the fact that Estella had a genuine fear of the dark. She made her way out of her room and into the bathroom, locking the door behind her before stripping out of the long shirt she wore, climbing into the shower allowing the hot water to wash over her body as she used her honey body wash to clean her body.

After washing her hair with coconut shampoo and conditioner, she shut off the shower and dried herself off. Her outfit choice of the day was a light pink bra that had matching underwear, a black flowery dress and a cute denim jacket over it. She brushed her hair before deciding to tie half of it up and leave the other half done, a plain black headband slipped to keep her hair out of her face. Light touches of makeup was added including some light pink lip gloss, she smiled happy at how she looked even if some people claimed that she was too "innocent" due to the way she looked; their opinions meant nothing to her as everyone's style is different.

Ready for the school, Estella headed downstairs to get started on breakfast knowing the girls will need food and coffee before they got ready for school too. The blonde was humming to herself as she made pancakes and scrambled eggs for Talia, french toast and bacon for Nicole, and finally, waffles with strawberries and blueberries for herself. "Morning sunshine," Harold greeted his daughter as he walked into the room dressed in his suit for work. "Morning dad," Estella replied before she turned and handed him a coffee. "Thanks," Harold took the coffee and happily drank from it, humming with a smile at the no milk but two sugars caffeinated drink.

The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs caught the two Bellbrooks attention, they both looked over to see Talia walking towards them. She had clearly showered already, her brunette hair rested over her shoulders freely and her smoky eye look made her eyes pop. She wore some black heeled boots, black jeans and a lacy shirt that showed a strip of her stomach; a leather jacket over the shirt happened to be her signature piece of clothing. "I could practically taste breakfast from the smell," Talia told the two, both laughing as she walked over and sat down at the counter where Estella slid a plate over.

"I love you," Talia told Estella with a smirk before she dug into her pancakes instantly as Nicole made her own appearance. "I keep forgetting how much I hate showering after Talia," Nicole expressed with a pout, her hair was curled to perfection with her own black headband in place for style. She wore high-waisted shorts with a black shirt that had white collars, her favourite booties on and a random flannel tied around her waist for added style. "You are always the last one up," Harold reminded her as he washed out his now empty mug. "Oh, come on, Uncle Harry, she always leaves the place too soapy and I almost always slip and fall," Nicole whined.

"Oh hush, sit down and eat your damn food," Talia playfully snapped at Nicole whose eyes lit up at the sight of her french toast and bacon. "Fine, I'll drop the topic," Nicole replied before she instantly began eating her breakfast. Harold chuckled at the girls before he kissed the top of Estella's head, "All right. I've got a meeting to get to so have a good day girls." The three girls wished him farewell before focusing on eating their breakfast. "Do you think its still too early to offer Sidney Prescott and Billy Loomis a place in our no moms club?" Talia asked with a teasing grin on her face. "Talia!" Nicole scolded while Estella sighed and shook her head.

"Okay, you two. We better get going because someone asked that we pick their boyfriend up along the way," Estella spoke interrupting the girls, her eyes focused on Nicole who blushed at the mention of her boyfriend. "Sounds like a plan!" Nicole cheered putting her empty plate in the sink before moving to grab her bag, making sure that she had everything she needed for school. Talia and Estella rinsed their own plates and grabbed their own bags, Estella slipping on her boots before they all left the house; Estella locking the door behind her. They approached Talia's car -- as she was the only one with a licence at this point -- and climbed in.

"Hello ladies!" Randy greeted as he made his way towards the car, Nicole was quick to climb out and pulled her boyfriend into a kiss that he happily reciprocated. "Goddess, they are so cute its gross," Talia teased making Estella laugh and shake her head. "Come on you two, you can tickle each others tonsils later!" Talia called out of her window prompting the two to pull apart and laugh at the girls comment. "How you doing?" Randy asked as he got into the backseat, Nicole slipping in next to him. "Doing well, what about you?" Estella replied sweetly, she enjoyed Randy's presence; he happened to fit perfectly into their little group.

"You know, Talia, Tatum had a few choice words to say about you over the weekend," Randy taunted making Estella raise a brow while Talia scoffed deeply. "Can that bitch keep me out of her mouth!? You'd think she was in love with me," Talia complained with her grip tightening on the steering wheel. "Would that be so bad?" Nicole teased with a smirk on her face. "Oh please, I would screw half the girls in school before I even considered Tatum Riley," Talia growled out making the others laugh. "For what its worth, Talia, the hatred between you and Tatum feels more like sexual tension half of the time," Estella told Talia softly with no malicious intent.

"You are too sweet but not ever gonna happen," Talia replied to Estella, calming down and relaxing in her seat. "And yet no denial," Nicole teased in a high tone. "You wanna walk to the damn school?" Talia asked Nicole. "And that's my cue to turn the radio up," Estella stated before she reached over and turned the radio up filling the car with classic rock, the four in the car were singing the words to the top of their lungs without a care in the world. Estella adored her friends -- Randy included -- and she couldn't see that changing no matter what may come her way. And as the group of four made their way into the local high school, eyes were on them briefly before they continued on with their lives.
