homesick - scream 5

aristotle yawned as she sat down on the picnic table in between mattheos legs. mattheo leaned down pressing a light kiss on his girlfriends head. he knew everything that happened with tara was bothering her but not just because of tara but also because of the whispers and stares she was getting. everyone assumed it would be her or nicolas to bring back the ghostface killings because of their uncle.

"that was sam." wes mumbled, sliding his phone back into his pocket as amber immediately looked over at wes, eyeing him "shes coming?"

wes looked back at amber, "well yeah they are siblings."

"watch things get worse." amber mumbled as liv and chad were now in view as they were walking over.

"its the smartest option knowing that theres a killer on the loose. you know exactly where i am." chad continued on but aristotle wasnt really paying attention. she was more worried because her brother wasn't answering her texts and she couldnt ask her grandparents because they were away on vacation but if there was a serial killer and they got to nicolas, aristotle didn't know if she could handle that.

amber made a fake gagging noise pulling aristotle out of her thoughts and back to the group. "is this because you two arent having sex yet?"

"you make a good point actually.." chad pointed out. all of a sudden judy hicks approached the friend group.

"hi mom?" wes said.

"hi wes." she said before turning to aristotle, "can i talk to you aristotle?"

aristotle nodded before grabbing her bag and following the sheriff. "is everything okay?"

"where were you last night?" judy asked the macher girl. it quickly processed in her head what her friends mom was thinking.

aristotle scoffed, "you have got to be kidding me. i expected it from the people at school but-"

"aristotle." the sheriff cut her off, "i am asking as the sheriff not your friends mom."

"if you must know, i was with mattheo and nicolas." aristotle told her.

"and they would be able to say that?" judy asked.

"yes." aristotle said confidently as she saw mattheo walking up to the pair.

"umm sorry to interrupt but we are going to see tara." he said. the sheriff nodded letting the couple go.

"what was that about?" he asked his girlfriend.

"she accused me of attacking tara." aristotle told her.

"what the fuck." mattheo mumbled. he was shocked that the sheriff would ask that given that wes and aristotle were best friends.

"its cause of my uncle." aristotle grabbed her boyfriends hand as they walked back to their friends.

aristotle shot up from her seat standing next to mattheo once she saw sam enter the room. sam looked at the teenagers before squatting down next to taras bed. "how are you feeling?"

"you came." tara said to her sister, a small smile came to her face.

"of course i came. this is my boyfriend richie." sam looked at richie.

richie leaned down towards tara "its so nice to meet you. im so sorry about what happened to you."

sam went around the group pulling each teen into a hug before stopping at aristotle. "hi sam." aristotle hummed as sam pulled her into a tight hug.

sam stepped back next to richie as aristotle wrapped her hand around mattheos and leaning into him. sam smiled at the couple. deep down she always knew they would end up together. "these are the twins, chad and mindy. over there is aristotle and mattheo and that's wes. i used to babysit them all." sam told richie.

"which is always how i like being introduced." wes said making everyone laugh a tiny bit. sam then reached amber. "and thats amber. hey." sam said.

amber gave a sarcastic smile. "hi."

the teens stood there as the siblings engaged in conversation, "hey wheres mom?"

"she said she was stuck at a conference in london. she called me earlier." tara told her sister.

amber rolled her eyes. "yeah for a whole ten minutes."

"guys, tara is tired i think we should give her some space." aristotle suggested. everyone nodded and started heading towards the door but sam was stopped when tara said, "not you sam i want you to stay."

aristotle almost went to the bar with her friends but she just wanted to go home. she was sick of all the stares from people thinking she was the new ghost face.

"do you want me to stay?" mattheo looked over at his girlfriend as he parked the car in her driveway. she could see the light was on which meant nick was still up.

"no its okay." she told him. "text me when you get home?"

"of course." he said leaning over and pulling her into a short kiss. "i love you ari."

"i love you theo." she told him before heading into the house. mattheo watched until she closed the door of the house before driving off.

"nick?" aristotle called out when she walked into the house.

"living room!" nick called out which cause aristotle to let out a breath. she was worried that something happened to him because she hadnt heard from him in a bit.

"okay, im gonna go change then ill be there." she told him. she quickly changed before walking back to the living room where her brother was watching star wars. she shuffled over to him before laying down and placing her head on his lap. the two were close, given losing parents does that to someone.

"rough day?" he asked her pausing the movie.

she nodded, "yeah people suck. everyone was looking at me like i was the one who did this to tara."

"screw them. you love tara." nicolas said as aristotles phone went off. it was a text from mattheo saying he got home safe.

"i know." she mumbled, "nick, im scared. what if ghostface is back?"

"hey, if he is itll be okay. we will be okay." nicolas reassured his sister.
