I walk home a few hours later with my phone blowing up like crazy. Multiple missed texts from Chad and mindy but I don't even care. I walk into my empty room mentally exhausted.I sit down on my bed my whole body heavy.I can't believe it.Wes is dead .It's my fault Wes is dead.My phone rings and I glance down
Chad
I answer it not wanting to hear the ringtone anymore
Luna-Hello
Ghostface-Luna we meet again
Luna-That line only works if we're in the same room ass-hat
Ghostface-Who says i'm not
I walk around the house grabbing a knife and car keys.I start my car and start speeding to Amber's house
Luna-I have a question for you
Ghostface-Oh Go on I would love to hear your last question before I gut your friends at that party
What party? I suddenly flip to my texts and see the invite from Amber. Why is she having a party when our friend just died!
Luna–What's your motive huh ?
Ghostface-Huh?
Luna-What's causing you to do this.
Ghostface-Stab.The Stab legacy deserves to live on so I decided they need source material
Luna-At the expense of others though
Ghostface-What did they do for me huh? Is it my fault they were related to Stab characters
Luna-Is it their fault?
Ghostface-Get to the point
Luna-Or maybe we just don't have guts to survive... Or maybe I'm a stalling bitch
I hang up and run into the house where a party is in full bloom at the moment .I run around until I finally spot everybody taking shots
Luna-Are you guys ok
Amber-We're fine are you okay
I didn't want to cause a panic so I didn't say anything and just sat down next to Chad and lean my head on his shoulder
Chad-I'm sorry Luna.I know how close you guys were 
Luna-I am too he should be here with the rest of us acting like he's drinking when everybody knows he's really not
Chad-I don't get how he thought we weren't gonna notice
I smile up at him and lay my head back down.
"You know what fuck this" Liv says storming out of the room 'What's wrong with her?' I question looking up at Chad
Chad-We kinda broke up
Luna-Really I thought you two were in love
Chad-She cheated on me with Vince
Luna-Oh shit You ok?
Chad-Yea.You?
Luna-I don't know anymore honestly but I'm not talking about that right now I need a drink
I get up and head to the kitchen grabbing the last beer.
Mindy-Hey I wanted that
Luna-Too late
Mindy-I hate you
Luna-Love you too
Mindy rolls her eyes as she searches for another beer.She goes to the basement with Amber as I go back to sit next to Chad who's blowing up Liv's phone.He gets up and starts to head outside. I follow him and just when he's at the door I stop him in his tracks.
Luna-Where are you going?
Chad-Going to look for Liv
Luna-Then i'll go with you.Power in numbers
Chad-That's not happening
Luna-If I can't go you can't go.There's a killer stalking us for God's sake  and your going outside alone
Chad-I can't just leave her out there Luna she could-
I interrupt him by smashing my lips into his.He's surprised at first but he kisses me back.The butterflies in my stomach erupt more as the continues on .When we finally pull away I whisper into his mouth "I'm going with you Chad whether you like it or not".He sighs and opens the door.I walk out with him closely trailing behind.
Luna-Let's split up
Me and him go our separate ways and after a few minutes I hear a sudden scream.I panic and run back to where I heard the loud noise.I cross to the back shed and see Chad groaning in agony.I rush over to him turning him around and putting immediate pressure on his stomach ,the tears quickly pouring down my face.
Luna-Oh God! Chad Im right here ok Im right here
Chad-Luna you have to leave
Luna-I'm not leaving you here ok im gonna call the police and we're  gonna be alright!
Chad uses all the strength in his body and cups my face to wipe my tears
Chad-I love you
Luna-No No don't say that we're gonna be ok
Chad-I love you with all my heart you're my light in the darkness.I don't know how to survive without you.I love you ,all of you.Every single twinkle in your eye every tear that's fallen down your face.I'll love you at your very worst I always have and will.I love you Moon
Luna-Don't worry your going to be ok alright  I promise
Chad-If I die I want you to live your life . I want you to be happy Promise me you'll be happy
Luna-No Chad don't say that ok your gonna make it out of here we're gonna be ok we're gonna go to college and live a life outside of this godforsaken town.You and me together
Chad-That'd be nice
He smiles as his eyes start to droop
Luna-Hey No sleeping ok stay awake for me please
Chad-I love you
Luna-I love you.I love you so much.So Much.
Chad smiles
Luna-Please don't die on me Chad please don't die on me
His eyes finally shut as I let out a sob.A figure towers over me but I don't care I want it all to end
GhostFace-Time to finish what we started huh
I look up to see Ghostface with a knife right on top of me.I try to move but my mind won't let me.
Luna-So the party's the finale huh
I swallow,numb.
Ghostface-You know you're a pretty smart girl.
Luna-I got full ride to Blackmore didn't I
Ghostface-You Chad Mindy and Tara were going oh wait...
Tears sting my eyes as I kick him in the stomach.I get on top of her and start stabbing his shoulder over and over.He starts to choke me and I let go of the knife to grab my neck to pry him off of me.I wrap my legs around his back and start to push his back.His hands get looser and looser around my neck.I do the final blow and head butt him.I grab the knife and dash back into the house to see everybody evacuated and screaming.I run back to see Mindy bleeding out unconscious
Luna-What the hell is going on.
Amber-Stay the fuck back
Liv-Jesus Christ!
Amber-I was with Tara, but the rest of you were wandering around One of you is the fucking killer!
Luna-Me and Chad just got attacked outside so don't pin this on me
Liv- fuck you Luna you too Amber fuck you!
Sam-Why is there blood on your hands?
Liv-What? Oh I found Chad outside
Amber-You're fucking lying
Liv-No
Richie-You're the killer
Liv-No, I'm not
Amber-Liv, stop
Liv-fuck you!
Amber-Liv, just stop!
Liv-fuck you, Amber I'm not the fucking killer!
Amber-I know
Amber pulls out a gun and shoots Liv in her head making the whole room jump
Amber- Welcome to Act Three
Richie: Run!
Sam: Holy shit!
Richie: Sam, come on!
Run! Go, go, go! Go!
Sam: Oh, my God... Tara!
I grab Tara's arms and hoist her up running with my one good leg into a back room.We hear footsteps up the stairs while Amber's screaming one phrases

"Come out Come out Wherever you are!"

I put my hand over Tara's mouth so nobody can hear us.We sit in the silence of the back room's closet when Amber suddenly appears.She grabs my wrist and bangs my head against the wall knocking me out.When I wake up I see i'm on the floor in the kitchen while everybody is being held hostage.My hands are free so I kick Richie (who currently has a knife lodged into Sam's stomach)right in the knee.Her knees buckle as a burst of pain shoots out of my foot.I look down to see my Air Jordans with a hole in them.
Luna-Really in the foot?
Richie-I know It's a bummer it's me but it really was the best choice for the movie
Sam-This isn't a fucking movie!
Richie-No But it will be - That's the point, right, Amber?
Amber-Right, hon!
Luna-Wait Hun! Oh God I knew there was something off about you from the start!
Amber kicks me in the face causing me to buckle down to the ground.I lay there hoping body nobody actually realizes I'm not unconscious
Amber-As I was saying Third Act bloodbath, check Killers revealed, check Time for the big finale
Sam-Richie...
Richie-Okay Okay
Amber-Let's get 'em into the kitchen Let's go, bitch!
Richie-Someone has to save the franchiseYou see, no one has made a great stab movie since the first one Not really Hey, baby, you want to go get the very ex-Mrs Riley?
Amber-Yeah, I do
I gag internally at the word.Jesus How did I not notice these red flags before.I hear rustling around but I block it all out so I can focus.How the hell am I going to get out of this situation.I overhear them laying out their entire plan and all I can think about is how dumb they are.They clearly have only watched Stab movies.Amber soon leaves the room to go and get someone who im guessing is Tara.The phone rings and I smile knowing Tara got out
Richie-Yeah, like your gimpy little sister's gonna make a difference She's our f*cking pincushion at this point Amber! Fan out She couldn't have gotten far
Ambe- I can't find her!
We hear a loud scream from the other side of the house
Richie: Amber?
Sam soon attacks him and runs off, Richie follows her holding his arm.
Richie-Sam! Where are you going? Your big scene's coming up!
Amber runs into the room and I take it as my chance I trip her making her drop the gun
Luna-Sorry Btich!
She gets up and grabs the knife and lunges at Sidney who swiftly blocks it .I toss Sidney the hand sanitizer and she smashes it on Amber's head
Amber-The f*cking hand sanitizer?
Sidney and Gale grab her and toss her over the counter. I pick up the gun and help corner Amber.
Amber-No, no, no, it's not my fault! It's not my fault!
Sidney-Let me guess, the movies made you do it?
Amber-No, it was the message boards! I was radicalized
Gale-By movie fans?
Amber-Yes, they're so mad! Please, it's not my fault I'm just a dumb kid I wanted to be a part of something
Gale- "A part of something"? You killed my best friend!
Amber-Yeah and he died like a pussy
Luna-Oh Im done.
I punch her right in the face but she soon bounces back and grabs my neck.She's soon pried off me and I slide against the fridge holding my neck trying to get it to work again .She straddles Gale while choking her.I try to get up but I can't find the strength
Amber-I was the last thing Dewey saw before he died too I can't believe I get to do you both No last-minute saves this time Your story's over! Time to pass the torch
Gale-It's all yours, bitch!
Gale headbuts Amber and kicks her causing her to stagger back into the stove.I stand up and grab the gun
Luna-You wanna do the honors
Gale-I'm good
Sidney-This one's yours
Amber-No, stop, stop, stop! I'm sorry about Dewey and Wes
Gale-fuck you
I shoot her over and over until she's set on fire.All 3 of us watch her as she tries to fight it but then eventually crumbles to the ground
Sidney-Enjoy that torch
Luna-Hope it burns
Sidney lays a hand on my shoulder and leads me into the hall where Sam is standing over Richie's dead body.She lets go of the knife and pants exhausted
Sidney-Careful, they always come back
I shoot him in the forehead 3 times not flinching
Gale-Okay, then
A scream rings through the air as we see Ambers discombobulated face run toward us until she falls to the ground.We turn once again to see Tara with a gun raised
Tara: I still prefer The Babadook
I slowly make my way to her while she drops the gun.I hug her silently
Its finally over

—--------------------------
         
I sit on the curb while somebody attends to my face which has multiple cuts and bruises on it.I spot Mindy and run over to her to check on her and I'm soon accompanied by Sam.I give Mindy a small smile and she soon returns it.Mindy turns around and gives somebody a thumbs up.I turn around and see Chad in all his glory smiling back at Mindy.His face turns into a grin as soon as he sees me making my way over to him.I sit down next to him.I grab his hand and let the tears fall down my face
Chad-Don't cry pretty girl I hate it when you cry
I tremble as he wipe the tears off my face."I thought you died" I say my voice breaking."You can't rid of me that easy " he jokes.I look down at his lips and I gently kiss him less hungry than the predecessor.I pull away from him and rest my head on his.
Chad-Ms.Jordan
Luna-Yes Mr.Martin
Chad-I know I don't have good timing but.Do you wanna be my girlfriend.
I smile and kiss him again not caring that the doors are closed and that we're driving off .I don't care about anything but the Meeks Martin boy in front of me
