Cursed

Seventeen

"Hey Tatum" Sam said from the other end of the phone
"Hey Sam, is my dad there?" Tatum asked
"He's just inside. Can you come here though?" Sam hesitated
"Sure" Tatum smiled to herself, believing her dad was alive.

Tatum arrived at the same time as her mom. Her mom had a tear in her eye and Tatum wondered what was wrong then she saw it. A body bag being brought out of the hospital. She started walking towards the body bag before she was grabbed by Sam.
"No. It can't be. He promised me" Tatum shook her head with tears in her eyes
"I'm sorry Tatum" Sam looked at Tatum. Tatum looked at her mother and ran to her.
"He's gone" Tatum cried into her mothers shoulder. For the first time in years they finally hugged each other, they both cared for Dewey.

"It's my fault he's dead" Tatum said as she sat down beside her mother
"No it's not Tatum" Gale placed a reassuring hand onto Tatum shoulder
"Yes it is. If I would've gone with him he would be alive" Tatum looked at the floor
"But you could've been killed" Gale looked at her daughter but Tatum just shrugged as if she didn't care that she could've died
"I would rather die then live without him" Tatum mumbled
"Tatum, he wouldn't want to live without you. You're young and have a full life ahead of you. Your dad has already lived his life" Gale tried to help her daughter.

"Gale?" A familiar voice said. Tatum and Gale both looked up and there stood Sidney Prescott.
"Sidney" Gale ran over to Sidney and they hugged each other
"Sid" Tatum hugged Sidney.
"Are you okay? Both of you?" Sidney looked at Tatum then at Gale
"Are you?" Gale looked at the expression on Sidney's face. Sidney nodded her head
"You know what. Fuck this" Tatum mumbled before leaving
"Where's she going?" Sidney looked at Gale
"I don't know" Gale looked at Sidney then looked at her daughter walking away
