Scream (but Broughton Astley)

Act 1

"Guys, where's Harry and Andy?" James said, unsure of the twos whereabouts.

"I'm not so sure, they're running a little bit late aren't they?" Jamie inputted, feeling a little gutted that they were late to his party.

"I'll give Andy a ring, Jamie can you ring Harry?" Holly ordered, wanting answers to their absence.

"Sure, can do."

Holly stepped off to aside, rummaging through her contacts to try and find the whereabouts of Harry and Andrew. Before she dialled him, the front door opened.

She turned towards the door, being alone in the darkened corridor - her heart rate accelerated.

"...Hello?" Holly said, nerves tickling her skin.

There wasn't an answer, yet something felt off... the door was placed ajar, with nobody around to have opened it.

"Give me a sec Holly-" A voice said, grunting.

"Harry? Fuck you, you scared me." Holly accused him of this, annoyed.

Harry let out a laugh, "Seriously? You got scared by that? You should see what I get up to alone - now that'll scare ya."

"I don't even want to know- anyway have you seen Andy?"

Harry shook his head, "No why? Has he not showed up like usual?"

"Well- yeah, but he said he was coming!"

Harry let out a small chuckle before sighing, "It's not out the usual for Andy to not come, don't let your mind wander."

Holly briefly smiled, nodding towards him. "I'll still give him a call, maybe he had last minute plans."

"Sure, you do that." Harry said, before walking into the dining room where the rest of the group were situated.

Holly began to ring Andrew in hopes of getting an answer.

Ring ring... ring ring... ring-

"Hello, who is this?" A man said over the phone, which sounded nothing like Andrew.

"Oh, hi is Andrew there?" Holly replied, slightly caught off-guard.

"Ma'am, Andrew was attacked earlier. He is in critical condition and currently being transported to the hospital as we speak. If you would like to visit him, please contact the hospital."

Holly felt her stomach plummet as her guts began to swirl with thoughts.

"Did you catch them?!" She said, frantic in her response.

"Unfortunately no, though we are looking into it and once Andrew wakes up then we will have more answers than we do now."

Hollys stomach churned with disgust, who would do this to him?

"Thank you..." Holly said, before hanging up.

She now frantically rushed into the room where everybody glanced over at her like she'd just had seen a ghost.

"You good?" Harry spoke first, seeing the dazzled expression on her face.

"Andrew- he-"

"Spit it out" James added, thinking she was going to answer with what we were all thinking.

"He's been attacked- he's on the way to the hospital right now..."

Jamies eyes widened, "Fuck- are you serious?"

"Is he okay? Who the fuck did it?" James added.

"Oh shit oh shit-" Will panicked.

"Should we go see him?" Chloe suggested.
