006.
Celia rushed off her bike and went through the gate running through the backyard and to the house that belonged to Wes and Judy Hicks. He had invited her over but said he would probably still be in the shower by the time she arrived, so he told her to go in through the back which was something she was used to considering the numerous times he snuck her in at night. She slowed her run once she made it to the back door and stared at her reflection fixing her hair, she tucked the small box in her hand under her arm and walked in.
She didn't hear anyone downstairs. Assuming Wes was still in the shower she walked upstairs to go to his room and wait for him but she never heard the shower running. She walked to the bathroom door and lightly knocked,
"Wes you in there?" She paused for a moment before trying again, "Wes?" She sighed, exaggerating it of course and scolded him under her breath.
"Wes please don't scare me. I have something for you and I'm not in the mood to joke around."
Still nothing. Celia was actually starting to get worried now, she could feel her heart beat quicken in her chest and she walked back down the stairs making her way to the kitchen but instantly stopped when she walked past the front door and saw blood. Lots of it.
Oh you're fucking kidding me.
The blood went from the door to the kitchen but it stopped there. She set the box that she still had with her onto the kitchen counter and walked back up the stairs. She knew it was stupid but she couldn't help it. She cared for Wes and the thought of him being hurt and left alone is what made her go up.
She slowly walked up to her bedroom door and paused, she let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding and opened the door. Wes's lifeless body laid there. It didn't look like he was just stabbed and left there, his body was mutilated. She let out a scream and quickly rushed down the stairs and to the front door, it wasn't over yet. Judy Hicks lifeless body laid there out in the open and no one seemed to notice. She leaned over the railing and threw up. The smell of copper filled her nostrils and she couldn't stand it anymore.
She pulled her phone out dialing 911, she leaned against the wall sliding down it and began to sob.

Celia didn't even realize she had fallen asleep until she jolted awake off of Chad's shoulder. Some dream huh? He looked at her startled,
"You alright?"
"Yeah," She replied, "Sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep on you."
"You're good, you needed it. We all do." She gave him a small smile, which he returned. She stood up onto her feet and pulled out her phone, she had a shit ton of messages from Mindy.
"Hey, I'm gonna go over here." She said motioning to one of the empty rooms, Chad nodded taking his attention off of her once he noticed Tara walked into the room. Rushing into the other room she opened her messages with Mindy and began to read.

She knew no one would answer her so sighed turning her phone off and putting it into her back pocket. She walked out of the room she was in, she wish she hadn't because she walked into Chad and Tara kissing.
"Uhm."
The two turned in shock and looked at the girl standing in-front of them awkwardly.
"I totally didn't see that coming." She said giving them a small but very awkward smile, "Cute though."
Tara and Chad both awkwardly put their heads down until Chad motioned for Celia to come over. She walked over and was pulled into Chad'd arms along with Tara,
"You know I really love you guys," He spoke, his voice mumbled since his head was resting on Tara's, "We're all gonna be okay, we stick together alright?"
"Yeah."
