Die For You ━ E. Landry

ii.

AFTER THE PARTY, valentina started getting ready for bed. she took off most of her makeup and put on more casual clothes, but her head was pounding.

it probably wasn't the smartest idea to drink so much.

everytime she had a headache after a party, she would text chad and tell him to bring her tylenol. you would think that after it happening so often, valentina would buy some of her own. but, she doesn't have the best memory.

so grabbed her phone and texted chad.

after sitting on her bed aimlessly scrolling on instagram for a few minutes, she heard a knock on the door.

"come in," she spoke softly, knowing if she spoke any louder she would hear a ringing in her ears.

ethan opened the door and set a bottle of tylenol on valentina's nighstand.

"oh, hi," valentina said, expecting to see chad.

"chad told me to bring these," he said.

valentina nodded, and the two just looked at each other for a moment before ethan broke the silence.

"i'm sorry, by the way," ethan spoke while valentina furrowed her eyebrows.

"for being so awkward. i get nervous around pretty girls."

valentina blushed, "oh. thank you." she smiled.

ethan went to talk again, when he was interrupted by mindy yelling, "val! ethan!"

the two looked at each other before running out of the room.

they looked at the tv and saw that two students from blackmore were murdered.

"oh my god." valentina said as she sat down next to tara.

"chad, go get sam." mindy told her brother.

within thirty seconds, sam walked into the apartment.

"what's going on?" she asked, as the guy from across the street trailed behind her.

chad pointed to the tv.

quinn pointed at the guy behind sam, "cute boy. nice." she smiled.

"their names have just been released by police, jason carvey and-" the reporter went on.

"holy shit, that's that chode from our film studies class, the one obsessed with argento."

sam and tara looked at each other.

"pack a bag. we leave in ten," the older carpenter sister spoke.

"sam," tara stood up. "sam- wait sam."

"we're getting out of the city."

"what?" cute boy said.

chad turned around and started pushing him out the door, "thank you very much, suspicious new guy, but i think we got it from here. have a good night. get home safe."

"sam? sam?" tara questioned as her sister was looking through their knives.

"hold on- hold on. no wait because let's talk about this for a second, 'cause this- this might now have anything to do with us."

"are you serious?"

"it's a big city! it's halloween, everybody's wearing masks!"

"tara this isn't a coincidence! you knew him!"

"barely." tara argued.

"chad, mindy, back me up."

"i mean it is a little bit-" "close to home." the twins said.

"see?" sam said.

"well- quinn, your dad's a cop, right? can you call him and find out what's going on?" she turned to sam, "before you make the unilateral decision to abandon my college education and flee the fucking state."

"i'm calling him now," quinn said, putting her phone up to her ear.

"thank you," tara said.

everyone froze when sam's phone started ringing.

sam went over to her phone and saw gale weathers on the screen. she declined it.

"why did everyone just freak out when her phone rang?" ethan asked.

"oh you poor sweet thing," valentina sighed, shaking her head.

"sam," quinn handed sam her phone, "my dad wants to talk to you."

everyone looked at sam as she talked to mr. bailey.

"mr. bailey, hi," she paused, "well my sister thinks i'm probably overreacting," mr. bailey spoke and sam responded, "what do you mean? what's going on?"
