SOSS X Scream

The Guilt

This takes place after Griffin came home from the Conwell Residence

Griffin's POV:

Holy shit. I can't believe it. I actually killed someone. Oh my god. I mean this is what I agreed to, so why do I feel so bad? Why do I feel guilty? Why do I feel regret? I agreed to do this, and I was aware there was murder involved, and that there was a possibility I would have to murder someone. I just- I can't believe I actually did it.

The Next Day

"Griffin! Did you hear?" Zoey said as soon as I came down stairs.

"Hear what?" I responded, still kind of tired. I was up for a while last night, I just couldn't fall asleep.

"A girl got murdered last night." Wyatt answered. Immediate guilt. All the memories from last night. The breaking in, the fighting, the stabbing, the screaming. It was playing on repeat.

"Do they know what happened, or have a lead on who did it?" I asked, praying they didn't.

"The police don't want to expose too much to the public right now." My dad answered.

Fuck. What if I accidentally left something behind, or they somehow got a piece of my DNA, what if they're coming to arrest me right now?

*Doorbell Rings*

Oh my god.

But it was just the Dunns, coming to work on the hotel. What if Harper finds out? What would she think of me? Ok, I need to calm down. I'm being very paranoid right now. Although, Harper is very smart. And plus did you see how little proof she needed when we first time travelled? She believed it right away. If she got even the tiniest clue that I was ghostface, would she believe it just like that?

"Griffin, you okay?" Harper asked. Harper was in front of me now, and our parents, the twins, and Topher went off.

"Uh yeah I'm fine, just- spaced out that's all.." Well that totally wasn't suspicious at all.

"Okay then." Harper responded.

Later That Day

I can't shake this feeling.

"Uhm I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I say. I need a minute, and I really don't need Harper continue to see how anxious I am.

I walk out of my room and to the bathroom and sit on the floor.

I'm not sure how i'm supposed to continue doing this. I'm really anxious, super paranoid, and extremely guilty. Doesn't Joey feel this way? But I mean, why would he? I mean these are bad people, Right..?

*Ring Ring*

It was Joey.

Harper's POV:

Griffin's been acting so weird. I mean the spacing out, being nervous all the time, what's going on with him? Maybe I should ask him. Would he even tell me the truth? Maybe I should look around, I mean I am in his room. But wouldn't that be wrong..?

Whatever, fuck it.

As I'm looking around, I can't find anything. Nothing that has any hint as to why he's acting weird. Then I hear the door knob turning, so I sit on a chair in the corner of his room.

"Uh, whatcha doing?" Griffin asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask, hoping that he doesn't think anything's up.

"When I left you were on the bed, why are you all the way over there-?" Griffin asked, confused.

"Uh I just felt like moving around a bit and I decided to sit in this chair." I respond.

"Uhm- okay then?" He said. I can't tell if he bought it.

"Uh anyways I should get going. Bye!" I say quickly running out of the room.

"Oh uh bye-?" Well that was awkward.

Griffin's POV:

What in the world just happened-? Harper doesn't usually act like that. It's probably nothing. At least I hope it's nothing.

I should probably focus on tonight anyways.
