You just finished answering questions, still sitting in the station. Sidney didn't even come to comfort you. But it didn't matter, you had Scarlett. "Can I leave now? You ask. Sheriff Burke nods. "Use the back way. Avoid the circus." "Okay, Scarlett responds. 

You and your best friend walk out the door, hoping to not see Gale Weathers. Scarlett would be driving you home, even if Dewey offered riding you home. It was better this way. "Hello (Y/N), Gale approaches you. "Some night. Are you alright?"

You said nothing, it just was better to hold back snarky comments than say anything. "What happened? She asks. "She's not answering any questions. Just leave us alone, okay? Scarlett responds.

"It's okay, Scarlett. She' a just doing her job. Right, Gale?"

"Yes, that's right."

"How's the book?"  

"It'll be out later this year."

"I'll look for it."

"I'll send you a copy."

You turn around, punching Gale straight in the face, She fell down briefly. But you managed to get out of there quickly. You both got to Scarlett's huge house. Scarlett had 1 older brother, 1 younger brother.

"God, I loved it, "I'll send you a copy. BAM! Bitch went down. I'll send you a copy BAM!(Y/N)Super Bitch!" 

You smile. "Do you think Sidney is pissed at me?" Scarlett sighs. "Why would She be pissed at you?"

"I put her boyfriend in prison pretty much."

"She might be, but I highly doubt so."

You hoped it was true, but you were never close with Sidney in the beginning. In fact, She didn't even come to see you, or even call you. She went to see you the first time by force. You knew it. You didn't even have to ask. 

Perhaps it was due to your mother's death. But nonetheless, You didn't bond with your only sibling. You kept the ice pack on your knuckles from punching Gale Weathers. She must've been pissed off, but it was worth it. 

"Just another sleepover here, You chuckle. "Just like old times, isn't it? Scarlett asks. You frowned. "No, nothing's like it used to be." You were right, everything changed the moment your mother vanished before being found murdered.

Maybe if she lived, things would've never changed. You turn to the other side of the bed. Scarlett frowns. "I miss Casey, too. Steve was just there. I tolerated him." "You didn't like him either? You asked. She shook her head. "He despised Quinn, who despised Steve." To be fair, He only got in the group due to Casey, something none of you were pleased of besides Casey herself.

"Do you really think Billy did it? Scarlett asked. You reply," He was there, Scarlett." She sighed."I always had a bad feeling about him." You frown. "Me too. But I still feel horrible about arresting him."

"Come on (Y/N), He tried to murder you."

Suddenly, Scarlett's mother comes in, "Telephone." "Who's it for? Scarlett asks. "It's for (Y/N), Her mother replies. "My father? You ask. She shook her head.

"Take a message, Scarlett says. You pipe in, "It's fine. I'll answer." You get up, going to respond who called you. You hoped it was Sid, even if you didn't like her too much. "Hello? You say.

"Hello (Y/N)."

"No! No! No!"

"Poor Billy, An innocent guy doesn't stand a chance with you."

"Just leave me alone!"

"Looks like you fingered the wrong guy, again."

Everyone kept telling you to hang up. But you asked, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry, You'll find out soon enough. I promise, This is gonna be fun, (Y/n). Just like old times."

You froze, why were you being targeted? But it was better than hurting anyone else so it might be the way to prevent more murders. The phone goes dead, Scarlett hugs you, calming you down.

You just decided to go to school then stay home tomorrow or something. Entering the campus, everyone's eyes were on you. You got attacked once more. But why? Even you wanted to know. Your sister rushed over to you. 

"(y/n), can we talk? She asks. You reply coldly, "Save it, Sidney." You walked off from her, leaving Sidney dumbfounded. Scarlett smirked. "You showed her!" You shrugged. "She needs to face reality, you know?"

She nodded. Your parents didn't favor Sidney, but she definitely needed to wake up, you wouldn't take her shit anymore. She never supported you, so why support her? "Tatum does too, Scarlett mutters. "God, She's such a bitch."

You chuckle, going by your locker. Scarlett tells you, "Try to relax. He won't hurt you here now in school where everyone can see him." You sighed."if Billy was innocent, it could be anyone here right now!"

"Serial killers are smart by definition.They minimize their risk. They plan and pre-calculate everything. Showing uphere would be like the most lame-brainmove he could make."

"Be promised me he'd be back!"

"I wouldn't put too much stock in apsycho's promise." 

Suddenly, Pranksters wearing the same costume walk by screaming. You frowned. "They think this is funny?" Quinn shrugged, his arm around Scarlett's waist. "They're so insensitive. I bet if their friend got murdered or attacked, they'd be acting differently."

You nod, Quinn had a point. This is why you hated this school, full of insensitive dicks, girls included. You clutch your books in your hand. You regretted going to school already. But whatever, It was too late now. 

"This is a mistake. I shouldn't be here, You mutter. Scarlett hugs you."i want you to meet me right here after class, okay?" Nearby, Billy was with Stu, Tatum and Sidney herself. You bit your lower lip. "shit, Billy's here. I bet he's pissed."

"You're the one who should be pissed, She tells you. "Just ignore him. You had good reason to think what you did." You nodded, ignoring him will help you get through the day. What bothered you the most is Sidney stuck by Billy, even though he was accused of attacking you. It proved everything to you.

Sidney never cared, and never will.
