If Corey's parents could see him now, they would likely shake their heads in disappointment. He leaned into the wall of the shower, the warm water running down his body as he sighed. He watched the water below him turn red, a distant memory.

A vessel of someone who he once was, the feeling of killing someone didn't satisfy him anymore. He felt more depressed if anything, Randy was a good guy, but stabbing him just felt right.

At least the first stab did, after that he couldn't do it, his hands twitched as he imagined himself safe at home. Away from the prying eyes of the world, Randy didn't cry, he accepted the stabs. Corey didn't kill him fully, he just couldn't, Randy was a friend.

Even if they hadn't spoken in months, they held somewhat of a bond. They were attacked by Billy all the same, and that meant something. So he left Randy inside that van, made sure the boy was safe before he ran off to Mickey. The blood on his hands didn't feel good, not this time at least.

Mickey was getting messy, desperate even and it wasn't a good thing. Corey practically heard the boy muttering to himself, his list of victims was long. Corey didn't even care about the list, he just wanted this to all be over with, so he would just end it.

Mickey was a good kid, at least to others he was. He held a long line of death at his fingertips, more life's taken then Corey could count. He enjoyed killing people, and Corey saw it every day.

He wouldn't be surprised if Mickey tried killing him by the end of this little sequel. "Hey, Sidney's meeting us at the lunch hall, get your ass outta there".

Mickey's voice was loud, Corey rolled his eyes as he turned the shower off. The air was cold as he wrapped a towel around himself. Mickey wanted to kill Sidney so badly, Corey didn't.

Corey rolled his eyes when he walked out of the shower, the walk from his dorm all the way to the bathroom hall was annoying. Mickey leaned on the wall as he held onto his camera.

He smirked as he pointed it at Corey "finally, only took you forever! I was gonna go in there and drag you out myself, but I figured privacy is important".

Corey huffed as he walked along the hallway "like you haven't seen me naked, turn that damn thing off". He smacked Mickey's camera as he turned down the hallway near their dorm room.

Mickey chuckled "come on, we gotta document our life's man, we're making history! This movie is gonna be even better than the first stab movie".

Corey winced "again, stop with the whole movie shit. It's lame and honestly if that's your motive for this, then that's not really original, Billy and Stu already tried the whole movie shit... it was lame".

Mickey sighed "you're no fun, is this about Randy? Look, the guy had it coming". Corey rolled his eyes "Randy will likely die in the hospital, what's it matter if he survives or not".

Mickey looked irritated "because, there are no survivors in my movie, I would gut him myself but that place is packed with security, you should've finished him off, instead you ran off like a pussy".

Corey scoffed as he pushed open the door of their dorm room "Gale and Dewey would've found me, besides it's not like you stayed either".

Mickey rolled his eyes "just get dressed, Sidney's finally coming out of her shell, we need her to trust us, so we need to be on time for lunch".

Corey would've made a joke but he stopped when he saw Mickey's eyebrow twitch. This guy had some serious issues, and Corey thought he was mental.

"Relax man. Lunch isn't for ten minutes, besides it'll be suspicious if we both show up at the same time, I'm technically in class right now, so I'd be halfway across the campus, while you're here in the dorm on your free hour".

Mickey sighed in annoyance as he sat down on his bed "why must you be such a smart ass" Corey chuckled "because, it helps us not die, you're not exactly smart yourself, one of us has to have brains"

Mickey let out a laugh "yeah right! I came up with this whole plan, so I have the brains of us both". Corey pushed his shirt over his head as he smirked "sure, whatever you say Mic".

Corey chuckled when Mickey threw a pillow at his face, "just get dressed asshole!".

   "I haven't seen you around much, how have you been Corey?" Sidney Prescott was a sweet girl, in some alternate world. He liked to imagine they'd end up together, married with kids. The two bonded for life and yet he just didn't see it in this world.

She looked beautiful, she always did but he couldn't see himself being with her. Not when his life wasn't going down a bad path. "Busy trying to survive I guess. Kinda regret this whole college thing".

Sidney smiled lightly "well college isn't for everyone, and honestly it doesn't seem like your type of thing". Corey shrugged his shoulders as he sipped at his can of soda, Hallie sat beside Sidney.

The girl going on about a Halloween frat party that was going on next week. Derek, who Corey only meant once, was stressed as he talked about having classes all day. Sidney just sat in silence as she picked at her food, she looked so lost.

Corey's thoughts were interrupted when Mickey sat down beside him, his bag smacking his side slightly as he smiled brightly at the group.

"Alright guys, we gotta totally crash that Halloween frat party next week. I already got my costume". Corey rolled his eyes as he looked at Mickey "and what is it? Some lame ass Star Wars costume?".

Mickey gasped dramatically "i don't even like Star Wars, I can't believe you would even suggest me wearing that as a costume". Corey huffed "Star wars technically isn't a costume, you'd need to like pick a character from the movies, Yoda is pretty badass"

Hallie chuckled "yeah right. We all know Anakin is the best of those movies, he practically saved the franchise from utter doom, Yoda just hid away half the time, that's not badass. That's cowardly behavior".

Corey smiled "see she knows the facts, how is it that you haven't seen a single Star Wars movie Mickey? They're literally the best movies made". Corey felt Mickey's hand rest on his thigh, it made his body tense up. "I've seen the first one, but it wasn't that good".

Corey pushed Mickey's hand off his thigh as he looked at Hallie "so you wanna go to the Halloween party with me next week Hallie? We could match costumes even, I'll be the best plus one you could ask for".

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself when he saw the way Mickey grew tense. The boy's hands were likely gripping the table so harshly it snapped.

Hallie smiled "you know what, sure why the hell not, I ain't got nothing else to do". Corey smiled "so does that mean you'll be attending as well Sid? You and Derek could ride with me and Hallie while Mickey likely gloats alone in the back".

Mickey rolled his eyes "I can go with literally any chick around here, besides I'll likely show up late anyways, knowing me I'll be trying to find a costume last minute, I do that every year".

Corey patted Mickey's shoulder "you're always late" Corey finished the rest of his soda before he grabbed his bag from beside his feet.

Hallie smiled "well, I think it'll be a good distraction from the whole... well everything. It'll be fun, we need more fun in our life's, I mean we're in college!".

Corey chucked "and that's exactly why I asked you to be plus one. You know how to have fun. Who gives a shit if a killer is running around, I'm getting wasted and wearing the stupidest costume you can think of. I better get back to my dorm, my professors gave me a shit ton of work".

He stood up pushing his backpack over his shoulder, he looked at Hallie "maybe we could be Padmé and Anakin for the party, seems perfect for us".

She blushed "sure, I think you'd make a perfect Anakin Skywalker". He grinned "see you then, I'll pick you up at eight next Saturday".

He winked at her before he walked off towards the doorway. He smirked at the sound of Mickey trailing behind him "you trying to push my buttons or something man? Seriously... you were obviously flirting with Hallie back there".

Corey shrugged his shoulders as he walked along the hallway "I have no idea what you're talking about, it was just a conversation about a party".

Corey kept walking as Mickey huffed in annoyance "don't do that again, you're not allowed to flirt with chicks, let alone Hallie!".

Corey turned "sounds like you're jealous, I made myself pretty clear the other night, it was a one time hookup, we got caught in the moment. End of story".

Corey pushed open the door of their dorm with his feet as he walked inside. "I don't care who you sleep with, but Hallie is off limits, I mean it Corey".

Corey sighed as he turned and looked at Mickey "I can screw whoever I want! Just because I flirted with her doesn't even mean I want that. We're going to one party together, we'll likely be drunk, so having sex won't be on my mind. Hallie is good company".

Mickey pushed Corey into the wall angrily "I'll fucking kill her, if you even think of going to that party with her, let alone even look at her".

Corey pushed Mickey back "fuck off! You're not my goddamn keeper, I can do whatever I want, Hallie is my friend, last I checked we've been friends since college started, why does this shit matter now!".

Mickey punched Corey, the boys head flying harshly to the side. He could taste the blood on his lips as Mickey punched him again. He groaned when Mickey hit him again, his nose bleeding as Mickey gripped his shirt angrily.

"I should fucking kill you" Mickeys expression was dark as Corey looked at him. His eye swollen as it began to bruise, blood ran down his nose as he chuckled. Blood stained his teeth as he spit it into Mickey's face angrily.

"That's the best you got! Come on Mic, you can't be serious right now". Mickey sneered angrily as he pushed Corey into the ground.

Corey felt the blow of his hits increase with strength. His head felt dizzy as Mickey punched him, his body hovering over his. Corey gripped Mickey's neck pulling him closer to his face.

Mickey let out an angry breath as he punched Corey again, Corey pushed his head back as he laughed. "Fight back! You piece of shit! You're mine! You hear me! You're fucking mine! I'll gut that bitch if you even think of seeing her!".

Corey let out a heavy breath as Mickey gripped his face, he looked down at him intensely. "You're nothing, if it weren't for me you'd be dead! I let you into my life, into my plan! Into my movie! You should be thanking me Becker, you're fucking pathetic".

Corey let out a sigh as he leaned into the ground, his hands resting on his sides as he smiled weakly. "Go on man, tell me more things I don't already know, you wanna be with me, just say it!".

Mickey punched him again, Corey's vision blurring as let out a weak chuckle. "If anyone's pathetic it's you Mickey, can't even admit the truth, you're a pussy".

Mickey hit him again, Corey felt his cheek bruise at the impact. Mickey pulled Corey towards him by the collar of his shirt, his hand gripping his throat.

"If you think for even a second, I'd let you live after this. You're wrong, I'm gonna beat the shit out of you, until all that's left is blood and bone".

Corey licked the blood off of his lips "you like me too much, that little move you pulled in the lunch hall made it pretty clear, you think about me all the time, and it drives you crazy... so damn crazy you'd beat the shit out of me just to shut it off".

Mickey let out a heavy breath as his hold on Corey loosened "you're nothing! You hear me Corey, I don't give two shits about you, I don't care about you".

Corey leaned into Mickey slightly, his hand shaking as he gripped the boy's shirt tightly. He felt the material in between his fingers "I deserve it, that's why I won't stop you Mic, I won't stop you".

He groaned as his head slumped against Mickey's shoulder. Mickey let out a heavy breath as he gripped Corey's face, he let his thumb circle on his cheek slowly as he looked down at Corey's face.

Corey looked at him as blood ran down his forehead, he let out a shaky breath as he gripped Mickey's face. The boy's face was rough, he felt the light stubble on his chin as their lips mended into each other.

Corey's hold tightened on Mickey's face, his teeth clashing with Mickey's as they pulled at each other's clothes like they were on the verge of death.

Corey grunted at the pain in his face as he leaned into Mickey, his hands shaking as he ignored the pain of pulling his shirt over his head.

    Corey sat at the edge of the bed, puffing at the end of the cigarette as he watched the clock. His face felt numb after he finally settled down, he would likely bandage it when he had energy.

He hummed slightly when Mickey sat up behind him, leaning his chin on his shoulder as he ran his hands along his back and chest. "I really am sorry, for beating the shit out of you, I just lost control.. I was angry, the thought of you being with Hallie..".

Corey took another drag from his cigarette as he let the smoke coat the air. He watched the clock tick as Mickey kissed his neck softly.

"Why don't you go clean up, I'll handle the kill tonight". Mickey sat up from the bed as he grabbed his pants off the ground, Corey chuckled.

"It's five in the morning Mickey, I doubt anyone's awake right now". Mickey shrugged "we are, which means one sorry asshole is too, I need to blow some steam, stabbing someone seems the best solution".

Corey stood up off the bed "beating the shit out of me didn't do that already? Or the sex? You seemed pretty relaxed after both of those situations".

Corey put his pants on as he put his cigarette in his ashtray "what can I say, I have needs and wants, sure they were satisfied for a while, but now I want more".

Corey grabbed his towel from his dresser letting it dangle off his neck "whatever, I'm going to shower and bandage myself up, don't get caught". Mickey scoffed "I never get caught".

Corey rolled his eyes before he walked out of the dorm and made his way towards the bathroom hall. The air outside was freezing as he turned towards the bathroom hall building.

He grabbed a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it as he leaned into the side of the building. "Holy shit, Corey what happened?" in all her glory, Hallie walked towards him, a towel hanging off her shoulder.

He couldn't help but smirk to himself as he pushed himself away from the wall. "Bar fight, got nasty" Hallie put her hand on her hip "yeah right, was it.. ghostface? Did you get attacked? If it was, I gotta tell..."

He shook his head as he walked closer to her "no it wasn't ghostface". Hallie sighed "was it Mickey? Did you get into an argument or something?".

Corey blinked "nah, he's been sleeping since his last free period, I snuck into town, wanted to get wasted... I don't have a nice reputation around here, just some assholes, I got away so it's fine".

Hallie touched his face, he winced and she smiled sadly "it's not fine, you're in pain... let me patch you up, it's the least I can do". He smiled "what are you doing awake so early anyways?".

He pulled open the door of the men's bathroom hall but she sighed "I shower early so I can have enough hot water, everyone's always stealing it... come on there's no way in hell I'm going in there".

She grabbed his hand and tugged him towards the girls bathroom hall. He chuckled as he pulled the cigarette out of the corner of his lips and let it fall towards the ground.

She set her towel down onto the sink as she grabbed a cloth from her bag. "Whoever did this, you should press charges, you could've been killed from this".

Corey shrugged as he leaned into the sink, he winced when Hallie wiped blood off his lip slightly. "It was just some drunk asshole, it'll heal and I'll be fine".

He groaned when she pressed the cloth against his eye "sorry, I'm trying not to hurt you". He leaned back as she wiped around his nose "you don't deserve this Corey, you're a good person".

He looked miserable "no I'm not, I'm the opposite of being a good person, if anyone's a good person it's you, I mean you're here.. helping me, despite me wasting your time". She shook her head "you're not wasting my time, now you gonna tell me who really did this, I'm not buying the bar story".

He was silent, for once he regretted his actions, being a ghostface, killing people. Hurting Randy all because Mickey told him too, he didn't want this life. Yet he didn't see any other way to survive the world.

"It was just some guy, what's it matter?" he groaned when the cloth touched the cut on his forehead. Hallie gripped his face softly "I think you're lying, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone, if it was Mickey....".

She paused when he grabbed a hold of her wrist, stopping her from moving the cloth anymore. He looked at her intensely "drop it Hallie, it won't do you any good if you knew anyways, you shouldn't even be here... it's dangerous".

He whispered the last part as he let her wrist go "it was Mickey?" he nodded keeping his mouth shut as he let her clean the cuts on his lips.

"He scares me, always has since we all meant at that party. The way he looks at you, it's like he is obsessed with you, and he gave me such an intense look earlier after you invited me to the frat party, it was like he was threatening me or something".

Corey winced when she ran the cloth over his eyebrow "I won't let him hurt you Hallie, that's why we can't be friends anymore. Just go with someone else to the party, I'll be fine alone".

Hallie scoffed "you think I'm gonna let some asshole ruin our night together? It's a party, we're going and I'll kick Mickey's ass if he tries pulling this again. This night isn't all about him, it's a distraction for Sidney from the ghostface drama".

She set the cloth down and Corey smiled at her "you're not gonna listen to me are you?". She shook her head as he grabbed a hold of her waist, she ran her hand along his cheek "i miss us, I miss you".

He sighed "Hal... we can't, he'll hurt you if he caught us.. if he knew about us". She pushed his hair back so she could see his face fully "please Hallie... I can't lose you too, I made sure he didn't know about our relationship for a reason, he'll kill you".

"I know, but I don't care anymore... when you came to me that night, bloody and on the verge of tears. When you told me what he made you do to Randy, I knew I had to get you out, and I still can".

"I haven't told anyone else... you can't tell anyone Hallie, I'm in too deep, I can't get out, this ends when he gets to the final act of his stupid movie, I only got involved so I could protect you... protect Sidney".

Hallie smiled "I know, but who's gonna protect you? You're getting yourself killed if you keep going forward with this. We can stop Mickey, at the party".

He hummed as he leaned into her, her hands gripping his back "god I fucking love you, why'd I ever let you go Hallie, only an idiot would do that".

Hallie chuckled "I don't blame you, we got busy with college, not enough time for each other, it was a nice few months while it lasted. I never felt love until you came into my life, so let me help you".

He kissed her, it wasn't forced or rough like with Mickey. It was soft and beautiful, he held onto her with such delicate hands as he closed his eyes.

Hallie let out a soft breath as she moved back, she smiled "I should probably shower before everyone else wakes up and steals the hot water".

He smiled "I could join you, save water, I technically did come here to shower to help with the pain". She grabbed his hand "you're not going out of my sight, I'm going to make sure Mickey doesn't hurt you".

He smiled sadly "he'll hurt you to hurt me, I can't be around you Hallie, he's paranoid, he's crazy, after this, just keep your distance, I'll try my best to keep him away from you, even if it means.....".

She grabbed his other hand "hey, I won't let you do that, if we stay out in the open he can't hurt us". Corey rested his face against her shoulder "I'm just so exhausted, I need this to end Hallie".

She held into him as she smiled sadly "I know, and it will. We'll stop him together, I promise".

authors notes:
real ones remember that in bittersweet tragedy Corey and Hallie dated and then he dumped her.... Which resulted in her being ghostface since Mickey took advantage of her weakness. I'm not gonna lie I was originally gonna have her survive and not be ghostface at all, and make her be the love interest for Corey in Bittersweet Tragedy, but I kept it as Sidney so.... I couldn't really do that. Roman was never gonna be an option either, Hallie would've been in that slot for act three if I went down that route, to think of the possibility. I had so many damn love interests lined up for Corey, where it would change each act and he wouldn't have an endgame with Sidney. I honestly could write so many books for Corey where he ends up with different people, tempted to make this one he Hallie endgame... but Roman! Idk it's a hard choice! Anyways enjoy this long ass chapter, I got carried away.
