CHAPTER 5 - Sweetheart?

It was a long drive home, Elijah kept asking me questions and I just didn't have an answer..

Could it be that another person took the mask and became the very thing I dread? Or could it just be a coincidence?

Questions were surrounding my head and all I could do was just close my eyes, well that was until my boyfriend stopped the car and I looked up to see we were in a parking lot.

"I know it's weird.. but I wanted to take you out, we could have a nice dinner?", I smiled at him, "I know you have a lot on your mind right now" Elijah finished.

All I could do was smile at nod, we both walked in and waited for a table. As I sat down with him I just played with my bracelet while still in thought.

Chad went back to the station to get some news while Sam was gonna visit Tara, so my schedule was pretty nonexistent right now.

"Wanna talk about it?" Elijah snapped me out of my thoughts and I sighed.

It would be best to tell him.. I'm not sure how but here it goes.

I looked down at the table, "I'm not sure.. you know that 'thing' I told you about 11 years ago?" I saw him nod and he took my hand in his.

"I think it's back Elijah.. I'm not sure why but they seemed pretty pissed off back there, this guy was fast" I said and he listened very carefully.

As I finished talking he didn't know what to say, which I understand. I mean what would you say when your girlfriend just told you that a man or woman, after 11 years is trying to kill you.. once again of course!

"I'm sorry this is happening my love.. I-I I'm not sure how to fix this for you but I can definitely say I'll be there for you, I promise I won't let anything happen to you" he said.

I smiled and the waiter came over to our table, the guy looked pretty old with a frightening smile on his face.

"Hey folks I'm cal, what can I get ya today?" He asked, me and Elijah ordered and while we were waiting Elijah excused himself to go to the bathroom.

Again I was stuck with my thoughts, as I looked around could hear Micheal Jackson playing in the background..

That's when I spotted something.. in front of me was a booth and it was covering someone's whole face, for some reason, it was suspicious to me.

I felt a weird gut feeling when I looked at this person, but when Elijah came back it left and I just grinned at him.

After about 20 minutes the waiter came over with our food and I thanked him, as Elijah and I talked. The night was going pretty great, I even forgot some of the things that happened tonight.

Elijah was speaking about his day before he started to cough, "Sorry y/n.. I guess it's just the dust for me?" He kind of questioned.

He started to cough more and I raised a brow, that's when blood came out as he coughed and I got up in shock.

"Elijah! Shit! Are you okay?" I asked while patting his back and calling for help, "Somebody help! Call an ambulance!" I screamed as people started to crowd around us.

I held onto Elijah as he coughed more blood up, he just couldn't stop and I was so confused why, he was just fine a few minutes ago!

I just held him on the ground as people were calling 911, I beg and cried as if it didn't stop for him. Elijah was just holding me as he couldn't stop.

After a few minutes, paramedics started to run in and take Elijah away, I was shocked and let them take him away.

As I watched him leave into the ambulance I quickly grabbed his keys from the table and realized something.

There was some green stuff in his food and it didn't look natural, I quickly raised a brow and went up to the manager.

I was crying in between but showed him and he asked who was doing our orders today.

"A man! His name was Cal with hair down to here!" I showed him and the manager raised a brow.

"Ma'am.. I'm afraid no one named 'Cal' works here" the manager replied and I stopped in horror, this was on purpose.

I quickly left as I started Elijah's car and drove to the hospital, I was confused, scared, and mostly guilty. He had been dragged into this because of me!

I get a call on my phone and I pick it up while I sped to the hospital, "who is this?" I asked while slightly worried in my voice.

"You sound a bit worried y/n.. I wonder how's Elijah right now" a deep voice that I wish I never heard again replied.

I panicked even more, "You fucker! I swear to god if you hurt him, I'll kill you just like I killed the others!" I yelled and he just chuckled.

"You might.. but seems like poor Elijah won't be there to see it.." he stopped, "See you around once more sweetheart" and then he hung up.

I ran a red light and just kept going I was more confused, I haven't been called that name since.. forever.

As I got to the hospital I ran to Elijah's room before the nurses started to take me out of the room, apparently he was on his deathbed but luckily could be saved with the right doctors.

I sat in the lobby while my legs were shaking, as I put my head down I heard loud heels walking and someone sitting next to me.

"Y/n.. I'm so sorry" I look up to see Mindy and I softly smile, I missed this girl way too much.

I hugged her tight and she chuckled, "I've missed you so much" I whispered as she held me.

Once we let go she wiped a tear off my cheek, "I heard what happened about Elijah.. is he?" I interrupted.

"Ghostface is back.." I said as I looked at the office desk, "he called me and I just can't believe it right now" Mindy looked shocked but nodded.

She crossed her legs, "are you gonna stop him?" She asked and I looked at her.

"If I don't who will?" I replied and she had an expression.

She took my hand in hers and smiled softly, "Then I'm with you.. I guess I have another chance at redemption" she joked.
