The mixed emotions after the deaths of Lorraine, Anika, and Quinn.

TW: OD, depression, guilt. (Overall angst)

(Mindy, Sam, Chad, Tara)

LORRAINE:

Her mother was distraught of course, having no clue her daughter was alive and well hiding under a barn with Billy Loomis. Her mother cried herself to sleep for the entire first night after, and couldn't get out if bed or sleep. Two days after the death of her daughter, she ended up killing herself. She OD'd on her anxiety pills, and was found after a rotting smell was reported from the neighbor, because of her decaying body.

Mindy was going through a lot of mixed emotions at the moment. She missed her best friend, and she never even got to say goodbye. She never told her how much she appreciated her as a person. She just wanted to tell her how much she loved and cared for her and her presence in her life for the past seven years, when she mer her in the seventh grade. She wanted to latch onto her in a bone-crushing hug and never let go. She had a deep connection with her since they both had fathers who passed when they were young. Mindy felt at fault for her death too, seeing as if maybe Mindy had been the last one to the latter, she would be there instead of Lorraine.

Sam didn't know Lorraine very well, but she knew that Lorraine was a very concealed, and careful person. Lorraine never let herself get too close with anybody, and she was never considered Sam a friend, just Taras, but since Tara, Chad and Mindy was distraught about her death, she went with them to her funeral to help soothe them.

Chad was going through the motions with this one. He always thought that when it came down to it, she was an incredible person to be with when upset or in need of a shoulder to lean on just to listen. Lorraine never judged him.. at least out loud she didn't, and he appreciated that more than he ever got the chance to tell her, and he wished he did. He didn't when share his feelings with Mindy very much.. just Lorraine, and he felt that when he left the apartment that night, that he had betrayed her. He could have grabbed her and taken her with him and Tara. Unbeknownst to him, that was the last time he was ever gonna see her before he left, and he can't change those last moments. He cried admitting at her funeral, and Ethan and him embraced, sharing with each other their best moments with Lorraine.

Tara didn't want to get out of bed for the first two days. Sam was the one who forced her to eat after about six hours of laying down and crying. Tara was the one who introduced Mindy to Lorraine in seventh grade. Tara knew her since the seventh grade as well, and they were incredibly close until last year when the killings happened for the first time. Tara was also the only one who knew about her father dying when she was eight, on her birthday. After the Woodsboro killings last year, she was also the one who signed her up for therapy. Tara cared deeply for her, and wanted her to heal as much as possible, and then she ditched her. Lorraine ditched them all. She just left for eight months with no contact, and then came back and seemed fine. She then left for another two months, and then cane back to them like nothing was happening in her life. And then when Tara saw Lorraines throat get slashed, Tara fell to her knees when she heard the news from Sam. She ugly cried at her wedding, and didn't stop the entire day.

ANIKA:

Mindy had never known what it felt like to truly come home to a cold bed alone at night, after her passing. Mindy didn't sleep for almost a week, until Tara gave her sleeping pils on the fifth day. Mindy had never felt that depressed or in a state of longing for someone before. Now, whenever she held onto someone, she imagined Anika in her arms. She wished Anika would have gone first in the latter rather than her. She wished nobody died that night. She just wanted to hug and kiss her girlfriend, snd tell her how much she longs for her.

Sam missed Anika. Her and Anika were seemingly close, seeing as Anika was good friends with Quinn after the halloween party that one night. She was at a loss of words when she saw her fall from the latter. Mindy was so close to holding onto her hand and pulling her up, but she was only a second too late, and that second was brutally crushing. Losing someone was hard enough, but losing a friend? Now that's one of the worst feelings in the world.

Chad wasn't close to Anika, but he knew how in live his twin sister Mindy was, so it made Chad crushed go hear her passing. Mindy hugged and cried to Chad all night long the first night, not being able to feel any emotion but sadness. Chad wanted to tell her it would be ok, but he honestly wasn't sure about anything anymore. He wanted to be sure that everything would be ok after this, but with the trauma of Mindy losing the love of her love.. it broke his heart just thinking of, and he couldn't even begin to muster what his sister was feeling.

Tara didn't know Anika well enough to say they were close but she was a great and honest soul. Anika loved to always be near Mindy, either in an embrace or just by her side. Tara did introduce Mindy to Anika though.. and that makes Tara feel horrible for putting her in the middle of this whole ghostface ordeal. Tara held Mindy close at Anikas funeral, making sure to comfort her the best she could.

QUINN:

Mindy actually liked Quinn, and after she saw she passed, she felt sorry for calling her a suspect. If she could say one last thing to her she'd say she was sorry. The guilt made her feel horrible for making Quinn feel guilty. Mindy appreciated Quinns company overall, and ended up silently crying at her funeral, once the funeral attendant mentioned how excited she was to be a part of a friend group.

Sam loved her as a roommate. Her death took its toll on her, more than the others besides Tara. She felt that Quinn was literally just the saying "wrong person, wrong time." Quinn was there by circumstance, because of her roommate ad online that Sam set up when looking for one. She grieved Quinn heavily, and didn't forget the good times with her.

Chad didn't know Quinn well, but knew that her and Tara were good friends. Chad comforted Tara in an embrace when Tara cried at the funeral, making Chad feel horrible about the whole situation. Because of this stupid bitch who decided to be a cool guy and kill his friends, he and his friends were distraught. He wanted this all to be over, and over quickly. He wanted nobody else to die, except the person or persons doing this.

Tara was beyond distraught and horrified when she saw Quinns body fall out of the room. She loved having her as a roommate, and appreciated her as a person wholly. Her, Sam, and Quinn were the closest out of everyone else. She won't ever forget the good moments and memories with her first and favorite roommate. Tara wished she had only a moment left with her to tell her she appreciated her, and wished to see her again.

MEANWHILE..

Quinn and Lorraine were playing a competitive game of uno, with Quinn eventually rage quitting, and sighing dramatically, flailing in a fit of rage, with Lorraine laughing at her.

Billy then played with them the next round and won, making Lorraine groan in annoyance, from him breaking her winning streak.

Third round was the most competitive, with Wayne joining in, so it was everyone except Ethan who was now being forced to be at Quinns funeral by Wayne, so it would be more believable.

Third round was won by Billy again, making Lorraine throw her cards at his face saying "Yea, I hope you get a fucking paper cut you man-whore.", making Quinn snort on her drink.

"Round four?" Billy said cheerfully.
