Scream For Me (Scream 5)- Chad Meeks

--The Night With Lily --

Maya woke up to the sound of a constant beep from a heart monitor and the sound of footsteps.

She opened her eyes and saw Chad pacing back and forth at the end of the hospital bed she was sitting in. He hadn't noticed her waking up yet so he continued to chew at his nails while striding across the room.

She saw a figure out of the corner of her eye and she turned to see her mom, Sharon sitting in a pair of scrubs looking down at her foot that was tapping away at the floor.

"Mom" Maya's voice sounded so fragile and small but the woman heard her and looked up at the girl with a pained feature on her face.

Chad had also heard this and ran over to the other side of her bed and grabbed her good hand.

"Hi sweetie, everything is ok. Your safe now." Maya's mom said while brushing her hand over her daughter's hair.

That was the moment that Maya burst into tears. "I was so scared." Tears were streaming down her face at this point. Chad took the sleeve of his jacket and carefully wiped away any tears that spilt.

"I know sweetheart, but luckily Chad got there in time." Sharon continued to stroke her hair.

"They weren't going to do it. They said that this was just the teaser and that there's more to come. I don't know if I can take it anymore." Maya said shaking her head.

"Listen, Maya, I will stick by your side every second of every day if that makes you feel safer ok. I will not let anything happen to you." Chad said sounding angry at what this person had done to his girlfriend.

Maya nodded her head, looking between the two people she loved. Then she heard the door open. She looked over to see the doctor walk in holding what must have been her file.

Everyone looked towards her. "Hi Maya, I'm Dr. Williams. How are you feeling?" the doctor said while shining a light into the girl's eyes.

"Um. I have a headache. My arm hurts a lot and so does my face. Other than that, I think I'm ok."

"You do have a concussion, so we monitored you overnight and you'll be ok to leave today. Your arm had a clean break so we've put a cast on for roughly eight to twelve weeks. There is a large laceration on your face which we needed to stitch up."

"Will it scar?" She asked in concern.

"Unfortunately, due to the depth of the laceration it most likely will." Dr. Williams said with sadness behind her eyes.

"Great," Maya said looking down at her hands that she was fidgeting with. Her mom took her hand to calm her down.

Maya looked up over to the chair in the corner and saw a tracksuit she owned folded up waiting for her to change into. But she realized that it must have come from her bedroom. Oh shit.

"You went into my room," Maya said looking over at her Mom.

She didn't get to say much else before the door opened again.

It was Judy Hicks.

"Hi Maya, How are you, sweetie?" She said slowly walking over to the girl.

"I've been better," Maya said as she looked around for her phone but it was nowhere to be seen.

"Looking for this?" Judy said, pulling her phone out of her pocket.

Maya sat looking at the phone in the sheriff's hand.

"M, why didn't you tell us that this fucker has been harassing you," Chad said sitting at the end of the bed so that the sheriff could step toward the girl.

"Because I was scared of what they would do to me if I went to the cops. I was scared they would bring up what happened the night that Lily-" she couldn't finish the sentence but everyone knew what she meant.

"What exactly happened that night Maya?" Judy asked sitting down and taking the girl's hand to comfort her.

Maya started to explain everything that happened that night.

-=-=-=-=-=- Mentions Of Suicide and Self-Harm-=-=-=-=-=-

Maya and Lily were belting Taylor swift's Cruel summer while driving back from the lake where they spent most of their evenings in the summer. 

The sun was setting in the distance and they were heading back toward Lily's house for a girly night. 

As Maya sat on Lily's bed the door opened revealing Lily with a bottle of vodka in her hand. "Surprise."

"Where'd you get that?" Maya said sitting up and crossing her legs.

Lily handed her a shot."I found it in mom and dad's stash."

"Are you sure they won't notice?" Maya said feeling slightly nervous. 

Lily was already on her second shot."Oh, come on Maya don't be a pussy."

Maya reluctantly took the shot from Lily's hand and threw it back.

After ten minutes the girls had taken multiple shots and were starting to feel the effects.

They were dancing around the room to Taylor Swift once again. Maya grabbed Lily's arms and spun her around. Once they stopped Maya noticed something on Lily's wrist.

"Hey, hey stop moving." Maya stopped the music and grabbed Lily's arm seeing cuts running up her arm. 

"Let go. Let go Maya!" Lily said ripping her arm away from the girl. Walking over to the opposite side of the room.

"What the fuck Lily. Are you hurting yourself?"  Maya called out to her friend.

"Oh, as if you give a shit!" Lily screams across the room.

"Of course, I care your my best friend," Maya said trying to get closer to Lily but she just took a step back.

"My best friend, Maya you don't give a shit about me and frankly I don't give a shit about you and your fucked up life!"  

"Lily," Maya said in a disgusted voice.

"What Maya? You can't deny that. Your mom wants fuck all to do with you. She works more so that she doesn't have to deal with your sorry ass. Your dad's fucking dead. I mean fuck I constantly deal with your problems. So why don't you just fucking leave so I can learn to deal with mine." 

Maya was shocked at the words that had just come out of her best friend's mouth. Before she could think her mouth opened first.

"You know what fuck you, Lily. You can go and find yourself a new fucking friend because I'm done Ok! I'm done."

 Maya said grabbing her stuff and not even looking toward Lily. She just stormed out of the house and walked home, even though it was a far distance she didn't care. She needed to be alone. 

By the time she got home, she was exhausted and knocked out. She woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. It was Amber. "Maya, Lily is being rushed to the hospital. She... she tried to kill herself."

Maya sat frozen in her bed. She couldn't help but think this was her fault.

By the time Maya got the story out tears were flowing. 

"Oh, Maya sweety it isn't your fault." Judy Hicks said holding her hand.

"I can't help but think it is."

"Maya you couldn't have known that that was her plan. She was trying to push you away so maybe it wouldn't hurt as much if you were angry at her." Her mom said.

"Maya, We are here for you ok. This fucker is using this to scare you." Chad spoke up from the bottom of the bed.

"I was just afraid that everyone would think it's my fault she's gone." Maya got out before bursting into tears. She finally broke down in front of the people she loved.

At least the story was out to the people she loved most. But how would she tell Amber? This would break her.
