( chapter four : eye to eye )
MELANIE HAD been in the hospital for a good three days now and it was no shock to anyone that she was bored out of her mind. She couldn't walk without feeling horrible pain, the food was stale as shit and Tatum could only visit every two days before she had practice, so she was stuck in her lonesome. And unfortunately, today was one of those days.
Melanie stared up at the tv while it broadcasted another news story about the Woodsboro murders, this time detailing of the pranks some kids were pulling to make a joke. If only the joke was funny. Horrible little shits Melanie thought, knowing that they probably went after Sidney since her being attacked was all over town. Why couldn't they just get a life.
She lifted the spoon to her mouth and quietly ate the jello while Gale Weathers ranted on and on. Snatching the remote and changing the channel was a no go as she didn't feel like watching cartoons. While taking another bite, Melanie's room door quietly opened and she turned to meet eyes with Stu and Billy. The last people she thought would visit her.
"Guys! Holy shit, hey" She sets the cup down and immediately accepts the hug Billy gives her and then turning to accept Stu's. It was weird knowing that they were even worried enough to come to over, let alone let her touch them "Not gonna lie, didn't even expect you guys to show up. Especially not you Billy"
Billy's face flashed a betrayed expression while Stu leaned over Melanie's hospital bed with a pout on his face, "Oh come on Melanie. You're our friend too, of course we'd be worried" Stu pats her hand and it sends a shiver down her back. Something in the brunette couldn't trust them. Mel didn't know why.
"Well, since you're here now, mind telling me how Tate and them are doing?" Stu's face shifted at the nickname and Billy's lips rose in a smirk "They're doing just fine. Tatum's upset she can't visit you more frequently and Sidney's stressing out over the fact that they can't find her Daddy" The last part worried Mel more. Neil Prescott hadn't been heard of since Casey's murder, and while Melanie didn't wanna pin it on him, she had found it entirely strange that he mysteriously disappeared when more kids began to drop like flies.
"That's extremely suspicious" "Extremely" Melanie keeps eye contact with Billy for a minute before looking away and meeting Stu's. While inspecting his face, she caught sight of the horrible bruise on his temple. That must've hurt like hell. She reaches a hand out to brush it before Stuart grabs her hand "Quite the knocker you've got there Stu" He shrugs it off nonchalantly and says "Coach was a angry at practice today" Mel raises a brow at that "Doesn't look like a sports injury to me"
"And what does it look like?" The tension that was already present in the room got stronger, you could've cut it with a knife. Melanie looks down at the hand Stu is holding with a expecting look and he sends a malicious smile, gripping it harshly for such a quick second that she thought she was hallucinating before letting it go.
