Alex was annoyed, he sat on the end of Tara's hospital bed as he held tightly onto his phone. He could hear the bickering of Amber and Richie even through the loud music that blasted into his ears.

Officer Judy looked annoyed herself, her hands grasping onto a notepad as she wrote notes. Each one after the other looked more rushed, like she wanted this moment to be over with.

Alex's gaze meant Sam's, and he couldn't help but grin when her cheeks reddened. He looked away from her first, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable as he paused his music.

He ripped his headphones out rather quickly, the ends snapping against his thighs as he pushed himself off the bed. He let out a rather obnoxious sigh as he walked towards the doorway.

"Where are you going?" his eyes meant officer Hicks "the bathroom, didn't know it was a crime to take a piss?". He huffed as he left the room rolling his eyes in annoyance as he walked down the long hallway. "Alex! Wait up!" he smirked to himself, hiding it when he turned around and frowned.

"What's up Samantha? I was being serious when I mentioned it wasn't me running around killing people, more so attacking at this rate".

She shock her head "no that's not what I wanna talk about" she looked out of breath, her eyes looked so much brighter up close. "It's about Tara, I.. I think I'm gonna tell her the truth about my father".

He rose his eyebrows slightly "you're actually gonna tell her? I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention this sooner, seeing she's older now".

She sighed "I just couldn't, I didn't wanna ruin things for her, but now with her being attacked, and the killer knowing, I need to tell her".

She pressed her hands against her lips, thinking "I can go with you, just sit by in case.. things go bad". She smiled and gosh he wanted to kiss her so badly at that very moment. "You'd do that for me?".

He nodded letting out a heavy breath as she hugged him. She pressed her head into his chest, smiling softly "I really missed you Alex, and I know the last time we saw each other it didn't end well...".

"I hate you! I never want to see you again! I fucking hate you Alex! Stay the hell away from me!". The girl threw her bags into her car before she drove off in a rage.

"It wasn't very pleasant on my end, rather aggressive if anything. But I couldn't just pack up and leave, I'm not the type to run away".

His eyes hardened "I should've just came back and apologized sooner, I felt so awful about how things ended for so for long. And seeing you here with Tara, gosh I felt like shit".

He couldn't help but chuckle "you've had that shit on your mind for that long? I got over it within a few weeks, it's not like we were really a good couple anyways, we'd never work".

She let him go, like she was offended by his words but she didn't express it. Not fully at least, he could tell by the way she strained her neck. She was slowly going insane, he loved messing with her.

"I'm kidding Samatha" he grinned softly as he pressed his hands behind his back. "You know I still love you, I always will. I'm glad you're doing good for yourself, I know five years is a rather long time, but we can still be friends".

She smiled her cheeks turning red as she looked away from him. He chuckled slightly "you're still beautiful Samantha, I remember just yesterday when we were sitting behind that creepy old house. In the grass complaining about the bugs and how itchy the grass made our arms, practically drank and took anything we could get our hands on".

He leaned back slightly and her eyes grew wide like she had forgotten about her past. "Yeah, I'm not proud of those days" she blinked letting out a shaky breath. "I remember when you were in the hospital for a month, you overdosed... I didn't know what to do at the time, I was sixteen, I panicked".

He blinked "yeah those days are all fuzzy for me, my mother tells me I likely forgot or shut them out, I just remember the grass, it was damp that day since it rained in the morning, I laid in it, and you were there with me, we watched the clouds and the rest is just blank".

She smiled sadly "I'm sorry for leaving you behind and not calling, I should've called more...". He smirked to himself "you really should've...".

His tone was dull, but she didn't pick up on it, nor the way his eyes darkened when Richie appeared down the hallway. "Well I better get going, I'll grab you something from the cafeteria Samatha".

She smiled at him as she nodded, he walked off down the hallway his face sneering angrily. He turned into a hallway his hand grabbing his phone, he clicked onto Tara's name.

"Heading home to shower and grab some the clothes, be back in thirty". He entered the small storage closet beside the entrance way, the costume smirking at him as he grabbed a hold of it.

Sam sighed deeply as she walked back into Tara's room, Richie trailed in behind her "can I have a minute alone with Tara? It won't take long". The boy smiled "of course, I was kinda hoping to grab something from the store anyways, the cafeteria here doesn't have anything appetizing".

Sam smiled at him "grab me something?" he grinned "of course". He kissed her quickly before stepping out of the room, he hummed to himself as he walked outside nearing his car.

His phone started ringing and he frowned deeply at the sight of an unknown number. He pressed his phone against his ear as he unlocked his door.

"Uh hello?" he shivered at the cold air that tugged away on his skin. His keys falling towards the ground making him groan in annoyance.

"What's your favorite scary movie?" Richie couldn't help but laugh slightly "okay Sam, is this you? Just because I watched the stab movies doesn't mean you'll scare me".

"Who said this was Samantha, oh you're such an amazing guy Richie, I can't wait to cut you up into tiny little pieces and send it to your family. I can't wait to rip your heart out and feel the blood on my hands... you really ought to know by now... Samantha's mine... you can't have her".

Richies eyes widen at the reflection of a ghostface figure behind him. He screamed out when the knife stabbed into his back, the phone falling out of his hands. The figure laughed as they grabbed his head and smacked it into the car window.

Richie cried out as the glass shattered and collided into his skin. The car alarm was loud as his body was thrown onto the ground. "No please! No! Just let me go, I'll leave... I won't..".

The figure tilted there head down at him as they grabbed his ankle and dragged him along the ground. He screamed when the glass scratched his arms and back. "You really don't get it Richie..." his body smacked into the car.

The knife stabbing his chest as his hands wrapped around the mask. "You can't have her!" the mask fell towards the ground Richies eyes widened in horror "Alex.. holy shit man!".

The boy smirked as he dragged the knife upwards, Richie cried out. Blood splattered all over his flesh and face as his body was thrown into the ground. Alex put the mask back on Richie screaming as his chest was cut open.

Blood gushed out of his mouth rapidly as he felt a burning sensation on his heart. His eyes widen in horror when his heart was pulled out of his chest. Then he fell towards the ground, dead.

Alex let out a heavy breath, the loudness of sirens being heard in the distance as he smirked down at Richies corpse.

"Oh my god Richie!" Sam ran outside the second she heard police sirens. The boys body wasn't hard to miss, his guts laying all over the ground as his body was on top of his car. Blood was everywhere and his windows were all shattered.

Sam let out a whimper as she pressed her hands against her mouth. She could hear the whispers of the officers "his hearts missing, we haven't located it anywhere on the scene".

The car pulled up slowly, the door opening "holy shit!" Alex's eyes widen in horror, his hair and body coated in water as he ran toward Sam.

"Samantha! are you okay? What happened! I saw the sirens when I was driving back". He held tightly onto a bag of food but he acted like his appetite was gone as he gagged at the sight of Richie.

"Oh god, who could do something like this..." Sam let out a shaky breath "we can't stay here, it's not safe here... oh god Richie...". She cried pushing her head into Alex's chest as she sobbed.

He wrapped his arms around her "hey it's gonna be okay, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise". She sighed sadly and he held onto her tightly as she kept her face buried in his chest.

The sirens dulled down as Richies body was placed into the back of an ambulance. Alex looked down at Sam, his eyes darkening as he smirked.
