Scream For Me (Scream 5)- Chad Meeks

--Pinkie Promises--

Maya lay sprawled across the couch in the waiting room in the hospital. Her head was propped on Chad's lap, as she stared up at the ceiling.

She hadn't slept the whole night. As a matter of fact, nobody did. They all just sat in silence waiting for the news that Tara was ok.

"I'm going to grab something from the vending machine. Do you want anything?" Chad said looking down at Maya just below him.

She shook her head and sat up to allow the boy an easy departure from the couch.

As she sat up, she looked toward Gale Weathers who had been sitting with a look of grief on her face.

Maya walked over to the woman and sat beside her putting a hand on her arm.

"Gale. I'm so sorry about Dewey. I didn't know him for very long but for the amount of time that I did know him, he was a good man."

"He was a good man. He helped a lot of people." Gale looked over to the girl beside her with the smallest smile on her face.

"I wish I could have stopped him. We tried to get him back into that elevator but he was determined. I'm so sorry." Maya said shaking her head at the thought of the man being alone when he died.

"Hey... hey. No that wasn't anyone's fault." Gale put her hand on the girl's shoulder in a similar manner to Dewey. The girl smiled at the memory of the man's comfort in the car the day before.

There was a silence between the pair for a short while before Gale speaks up again.

"How are you doing after Wes? I heard you were close friends."

"I'm trying to be as strong as possible. He was my best friend, you know. I can't imagine what life is going to be like without him. Well. That's if I get out of here alive."

Maya received a slap to the shoulder. She looked toward Gale in Shock. "What was that for!"

"You're being stupid! You've got to fight Maya, Ok. Promise me you will fight through this no matter what it takes." Gale puts out her pinkie finger for the girl to take.

"I promise." Maya Pinkie promised the woman that she was going to fight till her last dying breath.

"You know Gale. Today I learned we are very much alike. We both lost our best friends on the same day. I also have always wanted to be a reporter, you know. I was a bit distracted yesterday by everything that was going on that I didn't get to tell you how much you've inspired me." The two smile at each other.

"I really needed to hear that today sweety." Gale puts her hand on the girl's head caressing her hair in a motherly way.

The two didn't notice Sam walking over. Maya looks up at the girl.

"Ok, well. I've got to go call my mom. She was meant to be working but she isn't here. She must have thought I went home after everything and probably went there to see if I was ok." Maya says standing up and giving the girls a wave before heading to the bathroom.

She opened the door to see that the bathroom was vacant. She quickly checked all the stalls to be extra safe. She didn't want to have a run-in with any more killers today.

As she looked up in the mirror the girl was shocked by her looks. She was so busy thinking about everyone else she had completely forgotten about what she was going through.

Her eyes were lined with bags bigger than Prada's. Her bandage that was covering her gash was slowly peeling off revealing the horror beneath it. Her hair looked like she had just gotten off a roller coaster. Her wrist was still all wrapped up from the fracture luckily not getting damaged along the way.

"Damn." She said to herself trying to brush out her knotted hair hoping to make herself look a tiny bit decent.

Once she was finished she pulled out her phone. She pulled up her mom's contact and started calling the woman.

Ring...Ring...Ring...

She didn't pick up. After a couple of tries Maya gave up. It was strange her mom wasn't answering but she just assumed that maybe she was asleep at home. She had been working long shifts at the hospital and must have been exhausted.

Maya let out a deep breath and walked back over to the sink to wash her face to help her feel refreshed.

She avoided her bandage as much as possible while dousing her face with water.

When she looked up in the mirror there was a tall figure behind her.

Maya jumped in fright, going to hit the intruder in the face and try to make an escape.

She landed the hit to the intruder's cheek. They let out a groan and before Maya ran, she realized who it was.

It was Chad. She had just hit her boyfriend.

"Oh shit! Chad I'm so sorry baby." She said bending down to his level to inspect the damage.

"No. No. That was my fault. I shouldn't of snook up on you. Damn, Adams you really know how to pack a punch." He said putting his arm around her shoulder.

He noticed the look of discomfort on the girl's face. "Hey, everything ok."

"Yeah. My mom just isn't answering any of my calls. I'm sure she's fine probably just at home asleep."

"Hey, what do you say we take our mind off of things? Ambers throwing a little get-together for Wes. It might distract you from everything."

Maya thought about it for a second before deciding. "Sure but can we stop off at my house first? I look like a total mess and I would rather not be seen like this."

"Seen like what? You look very beautiful to me," Chad said kissing his girlfriend on the forehead.

"Alright sweet talker let's go." Maya grabbed the boy's arm before heading to the waiting room.

"Hey, guys we are going to head if that's ok," Maya shouts over to Sam and Gale who are chatting.

"Ok, Maya. Stay safe. That calls for you to Chad." Sam said waving at the couple.

Before she could step out Gale called the girl.

"Hey, Maya. Remember what you promised me ok." Gale smiled at the girl.

Maya waved her pinkie at the woman giving her a smile and the couple head out the exit.

They hadn't noticed Sydney Prescott arriving at the door of the hospital.
