the group walked out the subway meeting kirby in the street. chad made sure to keep sereyah right next to him to assure she won't be put in harms way again after the apartment.

kirby looked around at the group, "where are mindy and ethan?"

"they're five minutes behind us." tara informed her.

kirby just sighed, "let's get you all inside."

sam turned around to danny, "not you."

he let out a confused breath, "what?"

"don't trust anyone, remember?" sam reminded him, "we don't know you. not really."

"you know me." danny rebutted.

"you're not woodburro." sam didn't want to hurt him but this was best, "i'm sorry."

sereyah looked away with a smile at their goodbye. she didn't trust danny but he seemed genuine in his actions this whole day. she accidentally caught the eye of chad who looked at her with a feeling in eye.

sereyah looked back at him the smile not falling. chad looked a bit taken that she didn't look away but didn't complain. and all sereyah could think about,

is how much she fucked up.

kirby opened the door to the theater leading them all inside, "i cleaned the whole place before you got here. so, this is the only way in or out. he steps in through the first door, both doors lock automatically trapping him inside. we turn it into a kill box."

"weapons?" sam questioned.

"one gun, and i hold on to it." sam raised her brows ready to throw back but kirby stopped her, "i am the only one with a badge here, and that's the way it's gonna be. we're safe here."
kirby reassured but the group exchanged glances not exactly believing her.

sam switched the subject to leave, "i'm going to go check in with mindy. see if they're close." she took off her jacket walking away, leaving the three behind her to follow.

tara, chad, and sereyah were in a movie room with old snacks and a counter. tara stayed a bit before looking in between them. she walked to sereyah and whispered, "i'm going to go find sam." she bumped her hip with smile and walked out before sereyah could protest.

sereyah turned to chad who walked up her to meet her leaning and counter and she couldn't help but smile. she looked around at all the dust and dirt, "i wonder when this place even closed, it's so old."

chad looked around with scoff agreement. and he could help but keep leaning looking down at her look nervous, "are you going to talk to me now?"

sereyah let out a sigh and looked him in the eye, "i'm sorry." chad saw the tears welling up in her eyes not having seen her this vulnerable in a long time, "i thought i was doing the right thing."

"how could breaking up with me be the right thing?" he wa delicate with his question not wanting her to think of it as demand, he just needed to know.

"i'm a fucking mess, chad!" she bursted from all the emotions she's been holding in, "i came to college because we all agreed we'd stick together, but i don't even know what i'm here for. and.." she paused looking at him with heartbreak in her eyes, "i could never give you what you want."

chad titled his head confused, "what do you mean? i want you." he spoke in confidence.

"it's just..." she took a breath, "i can't, get pregnant."

chad turned to her fully, "what?"

"i can't get pregnant, chad. like ever. the doctor said after i got stabbed, she went very far down my uterus and...some more
doctor shit, but that's not my future. ours. not anymore. and i know how much you wanted a family..."

"that's not..." chad tried to cut him off.

"and i thought if i told you, you would leave me anyway, so i tried to beat you to it. and i just ghosted you for any reason..." sereyah started to ramble.

chad walked up softly grabbing her face, "hey, hey, hey. breath." sereyah took her deep breath putting her hands over his feeling the heat on them. it was comforting.

"it's okay. i'm just sad that you would think, a baby that doesn't exist, would be a good enough reason for me to leave you." sereyah released a breath at the words putting her hands on his. wrist, "i love you. and yes, i do want family, but it doesn't matter what it looks like. as long as it's with you. and i know..." chad took a breath feeling emotional himself, "we're going to have that. together."

sereyah nodded believing him even in the situation they're in, "we are. i love you. i'm sorry."

"i know. i love you." chad pulled her towards him and their lips met in a passionate kiss. they're first kiss since the breakup. they both smiled as chad leaned her into the counter.

they didn't want to let go but had to breath and chad spoke, "you don't know how much it hurt not to do that for so long."

sereyah chuckled, "well, do it again."

the smiled and moved their lips to meet again but before they could touch there was sound then sereyah felt a sharp pain in her back, "ah!" she screamed.

"reya!" chad yelled as she fell to the ground.

ghostface swung the knife at chad but he ducked and threw him to a wall. he got him down and kicked him as sereyah got up from the floor.

chad quickly grabbed her, "reya! go! cmon."

he opened the door and they both jumped at the sight of tara and sam. they instantly recovered and all ran down the hallway together to the main room.

chad went to the door but sam yelled, "it's locked!"

he turned in duress, "we're trapped!"

sereyah walked behind them as fast as she could but she could help but feel herself limp at the stab she just took in her back.

they all looked around the place and sereyah looked up, "what about that? there's an exit door."

tara nodded agreeing, "maybe it leads to the roof or something?"

"there's only one way to find out, let's go, let's go." he motioned them to go.
