WEIRDOS

On the car ride to the bar Wes and Aurelia had been blasting music singing along feeling relieved now that they know Tara is okay.

"Wes do you find Richie kinda weird?" Lia asks turning down the music

"A little. But maybe its because hes just meeting everyone. Why do you ask" Wes replies to his girlfriend

"I dont know just get an off vibe from him" She says furrowing her brows "Just feel like hes a secret weirdo"

"Is this because he said your name is weird?" Wes laughs out turning to look at the girl placing a hand on her leg

"No! Well kinda but not all that!" She exclaims trying to defend herself "I'm serious Wes i really dont like that guy i dont trust him at all"

"Lia you just met the guy at least give it a day and then i'll be on your side i promise but you met him for literally 5 seconds" He says attempting to shut down her thoughts which seem unbelievable and unlikely to him

-o-

"Hey look who came" Mindy calls out to the couple placing down the cue stick

"Wheres James?" Aurelia asks putting her bag down noticing Liv is back with the group

"Yeah wasnt this all his idea" Wes adds along running his hand through his hair

"He texted saying something came up and he couldnt make it" Chad adds to the conversation "Has anyone else noticed how weird hes acting recently?

"oh my god i thought it was just me!" Amber says showing that everyone in the group had realised how much he'd changed "He used to never shut up and now he says one word every hour whats going on with him"

"Everytime i mention him acting weird he gets all pissy and leaves or just denies it" Aurelia adds on to their points

"Changing the topic because i have no more to add" Chad starts off  "Sam is so cool" 

"You only say that because she let you wear pokemon onesies to bed for a year" Mindy responded resulting in the rest of the group laughing

"That's..true. That is a true statement" Chad agrees passionately

"No, trust me. Sam is not cool" Amber starts off, bringing down the mood, once again "Her dad left her mom right? Walks right out when Taras eight, Sams thirteen. Sam started acting out, getting in trouble with the cops, Wes' mom specifically, and then on her eighteenth birthday, she leaves. Ghosts them all. Maybe Sams changed but i just dont want to see Tara hurt again" She finishes after airing out all of Tara and Sams dirty laundry

"So what, you're protecting Tara from her own sister now?" Wes asks the girl annoyed

"Amber do you realise how absurd that is. Tara can make her own decisions" Aurelia adds on the the boys point

"Not only that but its an amazing motive." Mindy adds staring at Amber

"What?" the black haired girl asks

"No one is good enough for her but you, she doesnt want you back very convincing motive" She continues her explanation walking closer to the raven haired girl

"Oh fuck you mindy" Amber says annoyed at the girl "I dont like Tara shes my best friend im just looking out for her, and if anything you're the killer. You're so obsessed with those stupid movies you would know how to play the perfect ghostface" She continues glaring mindy down

"Lets just say everyone is a suspect how bout that and drop this before it gets out of hand alright" Chad says defending his sister not wanting a fight to break out between them, again.
