the five survivors and anika were all in the apartment getting ready since they all agreed to sleep in the same place. sereyah, tara, and chad started dinner and sereyah stood next to tara by the counter.

tara looked over at her and said, "i think you should get out of the city."

sereyah shook her head, "i'm not leaving you here, tara."

tara went to speak, "but with what happened to you last time-"

"what happened to you last time. we both got pretty fucked up, but i'm not leaving you and sam here." sereyah told her and then fully turned to look at chad, "but i think you guys should." chad looked at her expecting this from her, "go back to see your mom while we deal with this."

chad nodded slowly, "that's very thoughtful of you, but, um, i don't think i'm going anywhere."

he gazed at her and she couldn't help her at but to gaze back. friends friends friends

mindy instantly started gagging, "will you two just make out already?"

tara laughed agreeing, "no, guys, really."

chad looked at mindy while sereyah gave tara a look, "mindy, that is so inappropriate, dude."

mindy just threw her hands up, "oh, whatever. get it over with!" she yelled walking in the kitchen.

chad and sereyah looked at each other with a small smile. tara sat some blankets on the couch and mindy yelled, "sam?"

sam came in the kitchen, "yep?"

"we do not have to stay here." mindy leaned on the counter.

"well to bad. i insist. safety in numbers." sam said and sereyah agreed.

chad started excited, "this'll be so fun. a little slumber party with the final five!"

sam had no idea where that came from, "final five?"

tara looked up at him form next to mindy, "did you just give us a nickname?"

"i sure did!" he was very proud of it and sereyah shook her head at him with a smile, "we've been through a lot together, and it's a pretty cool nickname."

"that's debatable." sam mumbled.

sereyah scrunched her nose, "extremely debatable."

chad looked at her betrayed.

"you can't just give yourself a nickname, dingus." mindy insulted him.

chad brushed her insult off, "of course i can, dingus, because i just did. final five, up top!"

"no." mindy told him simply.

"down low." he held his hand out to sereyah.

"get that away from me." she tried not to smile again but it was peaking.

"up high." he held out his hand to tara.

"absolutely not."

he lastly held it out to sam who smiled at his antics, "please, for the love of god."

mindy told her, "don't do it."

"you know, i would like a little more respect and support from the fellow members of the final five..." he ranted on and they all overlapped.

everybody heard anika in the other room, "guys! what the hell?" she turned up the tv.

they all came in to see what it was about and just them completely blaming the recent killings in sam. sereyah felt bad for her becasue she knows 200% that sam isn't responsible for this she just wished everybody else could see that.

sam hearing enough went over, grabbed the remote and turned off the tv. she went in the dining area and pulled out a chair to sit in her sadness. tara joint her to reassure her a bit.

when the remaining three heard sam saying, "it just sucks being this hated."

they all joined them on the table with sereyah sitting at the end by mindy and sam while chad started, "hey. hey. just a reminder, not a single person in this room hated you. okay, we've all been through some fucked up stuff, and we are coping with it differently. but, i mean, we moved here together for one very specific reason. we are a team."

sereyah looked at him in admiration. he always does have a way with words. another thing she loved about him. he was suck a dork, but had one of the kindest hearts ever. she could only dream to have an ounce of that.

mindy added on, "we are, the final fucking five."

"thank you very much." chad smiled at her and went in with a handshake.

mindy rolled her eyes on how she liked the name, "ah, i hate myself." but shook his hand anyway.

"that's what i'm talking about, the final five."

"say it." mindy tried to convince them.

"i'm not going to say it". tara smiled, "i mean, yes, we are a team but..."

sereyah added, "i'm starting to like it." she shrugged.

chad looked over at her, "right? it's got a nice ring to it."

it got a bit quieter and sam blurted out, "i've been sleeping with cute bouy from across the hall."

everybody got quiet and and then they got to yelling, "i knew it!"

they all started talking over each other and mindy said, "i knew it from the day you had that hickey."

they all laughed together and sereyah said, "you guys thinking what i'm thinking?"

tara asked her, "high five?"

sereyah cheesed at her, "yes, i think we should high five."
chad held his hand towards sereyah at the middle of the table.

"the final five high...five?" chad said tongue twisted, "we'll work on that...but may we, please."

rey high fives him softly and him wanting to be buried in her touch they softly combined their hands together and the rest fell in and did the sam.

they were all chattering having a good time and sam pulled out her phone and tara seeing who it was grabbed the phone and held it up as they asked is that him? it was fun and they were all enjoying eachother in a bad situation. suddenly, there was moaning and bumping from quinn's room.

tara explained, "quinn and her gentleman callerare back at it again."

mindy was fine with it, "she's getting it, too? okay."

the group laughed and when all their phones buzzed at the same time and they slowly pulled out their phones finding it weird. danny, aka cute boy,  airdropped them a picture. it was ghostface attacking quinn.

the five all paused looked up at eachother and simultaneously got up out of their chairs quickly and running to the room as the screams that started sounding like pleasure switched to pain.

tara about to run to the door was stopped by sereyah who was grabbed by chad to keep her close, "wait,wait."

the screaming stopped and they all paused and looked at the door waiting for something to happen. the silver got painful and mindy said, "run."
