Pretty Girls Make Graves

𝒅𝒂𝒌𝒐𝒕𝒂

I woke up to the sound of music, playing softly on a radio beside me. You made me feel like the one... you made me feel like the one... the one... I don't know we are going now...so take a look at me now. I rubbed my eyes and opened them. I heard a door open and a nurse walked in. A wave of deja vu fluttered over me and I shot up. I yelped as my wound spasmed. I felt someone put a hand on mine. " Hey, it's ok. She's not here." They whispered to me. I sniffed and layered back down, looking up at who it was. It was Billy. I suddenly remembered all that had happened. "Where's Stu?" I asked, my voice breaking from not speaking for so long. A voice chuckled from behind Billy. " The first thing she asks- where is darling Stu". I smiled with relief and he got up and sat by Billy. "You really scared us, Kenz" he murmured as the nurse left the room after putting a glass of water by the hospital bed. Billy stayed quiet, intensely watching me. "I'm sorry, I just got caught by an adrenaline rush" I whispered back, looking away from them both. "I'm not going to die am I?" I added, looking from the both boys to my oxygen tank. Billy squeezed my hand sympathetically. "No. I won't let you." He said, sounding kind of possessive as he said it. I blushed, I loved him so much. He gently kissed me on the forehead. "Do you need me to get you any food, love?" Stu asked a few moments later as I sat sipping my water. I nodded and he went out on a hunt for food in the maze of the hospital. I worriedly looked at Billy.

"What happens next?" I asked worried that the boys hadn't planned for this. "You stay in hospital and get better. Once you do we can choose either to stay in Woodsboro or we can run away together" He whispered to me. My expression changed at the last part. "Run away together?" I repeated what he had said. He nodded. " Yea, don't you want to?" He said sounding slightly crestfallen. I held his hand tightly. " Sure I do! But is that not going to be obvious? A mass murder and then we both run away? Billy have you thought about this? What about Stu? We can't just leave him!" I murmured to him, trying to explain that it wasn't necessarily going to work. Billy pulled away and sat back in his chair, putting his head in his hands. "Come on Kenzie we can have a new start somewhere. You can start a job as an illustrator and I-" he paused. " Can just be me. We can live a quiet life and forget all of this" he mumbled through his hands. I sighed frustratedly. "Billy we can't live a quiet life of you carry on killing people-". He ran his hand through his hair, pulling at it. "I think you forget that you kill people too" he hissed, his manner suddenly growing slightly aggressive. I narrowed my eyes, offended. "I didn't want to!" I exclaimed. Billy leant in, his brown hair falling over my face. "And yet you still pulled the trigger. Still stabbed." I squirmed in my bed trying to get away from him. It was the first time I felt slightly scared of him. " Oh and now you're scared of me? You're pathetic"He grinded his teeth together and stomped out of the room. I sat in bed for a minute, processing what had happened, tears forming in my eyes. I swung my legs out of bed and called after him "Billy wait! I didn't mean to say it like that!" I dropped down onto the floor and rushed to the door, ripping out my oxygen tube as I did so. "Billy!" I shouted down the corridor, but he was gone. I stumbled over a trolley of equipment as I struggled to catch up with him. "Kenz, what are you doing out of bed?" Stu asked me, standing watching from the opposite side of the corridor. I gathered myself up and ran past him. "I got you chocolate!" I heard him exclaim after me. He huffed and stood watching me run. 

I looked from left to right. He wasn't anywhere to be seen. The hospital was so chaotic I wouldn't even be able to see him even if he was in front of me. A thought flashed into my mind, as I was reminded of when I first met him. I gasped and looked around for the men's toilets. I glanced around for anyone who would stop me from going inside and slowly opened the door. "Billy?" I whispered, quietly stepping inside the toilets. There he was, sat on the edge of the sink, smoking a cigarette. "You found me quick. It's almost like you knew where to find me." he mumbled, not looking at me. I sat up next to him, gasping at the pain in my stomach as I did so. He passed me a cigarette but I pushed it away. "Will you look at me?" I whispered, brushing his brunette hair out his face. He glared at me with his brown eyes. I laughed "Don't look so pained Billy" He rolled his eyes and rested his head gently on my shoulder. "Im sorry, ok. I over reacted." He mumbled. I stroked his hair "It's ok" I said calmly. He looked up at me, his aggressive state fading and a more vulnerable one appearing. " Your- you're not scared of me? Are you?" He asked. I felt my heart shatter. "Of course not" I reply straight away, my voice cracking slightly. "What about the night Casey died? Were you scared of Stu?" He murmured sitting up to look at my expression. I sighed. " Well of course I was shit scared Billy. I had no idea who it was, I thought I was going to die that night." I replied wondering why he asked if I was scared of Stu.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. I believed him, after all he didn't know I was Casey's cousin until the day after her murder and Stu told him. I smiled weakly and slipped wobbly off the sink. "I should get back..." said feeling my head rush as I did so. Billy nodded, copying me and took my hand as we walked back towards my hospital room.

When we got back, Stu was sat on the bed eating what was supposedly my chocolate. "Sorry love, I got hungry" he said with a mouthful. "It's alright" I laughed and went to wipe away the chocolate smears on the side of his face. He caught my hand as I did so and his concerned eyes locked with mine for a split second "You ok?" He mumbled. "Yeah I'm fine?" I said, sounding slightly confused. Stu glared at Billy, who was already giving him a hard death stare. I rolled my eyes, sensing the tension in the room. "Boys please, the sexual tension in here is killing me." I giggled, I found it funny when they both fought over me when they didn't think I was looking. Stu looked back at me and laughed "I know love, sorry". I giggled, a little taken aback by his reply "Woahhhh". Billy smirked slightly, trying to maintain his 'intimidating' state. I rolled my eyes and moved his chin to face down to mine. "Why'd you look so grumpy, Mr Ghostface?" I said playfully, making a sad face. His mouth flickered into a smile. I knew how to make him smile. "You need to stop calling me that, sweetheart" he chuckled, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind my ear. I stuck out my bottom lip. "Awww". Billy rolled his eyes, still smiling. " Don't cry sunshine" he said playfully. I wavered my hand In the air, ignoring the pain in my stomach. " It's alright pretty boy" I said sweetly, my heart fluttering when I saw his expression as I said it. I loved him. To me he was my world, universe, future and past.
