Psycho Killer (Billy Loomis x Reader)

7 - Fuck You, Tatum

After school, you, Tatum, and Sidney sit on the porch of Tatum's house. Tatum's stereo blasts music. It's been a little quiet. You regretted your decision to join them. You had a bad feeling about this. Tatum finally speaks up.

"Maybe Cotton Weary was telling the truth, Sid. Maybe he just had sex with your mom." She says. You turn to Tatum. Bewildered that she would ever say that, you know how Sidney's gonna react. She almost instantaneously goes off.

"So you think my mother was a slut too?"

"I didn't say that. But you know about the rumors. Your dad was away a lot on business. Maybe your mom was an unhappy woman." Tatum suggests, soon regretting her decision to speak on the matter.

"Okay, if they were having an affair, then why couldn't Cotton prove it in Court?" Tatum stands up, twiddling her thumbs.

"You can't prove a rumor, that's why it's a rumor."

"Created by that tabloid twit, Gale Weathers." You snap at her. Why on earth would Tatum suggest that? Of course, you understood that she was trying to see both sides, but bringing it up to Sidney in a condition like this was far from wise.

"It goes further back, Sidney. There's been talk of other men." Sidney stands up, angry.

"Oh, you believe it, don't you?"

"Well... you can only hear the Richard Gere-gerbil story so many times before you have to start believing it." Oh my god. Sidney narrows her eyes.

"Fuck you, Tatum."

"Sidney!" You yell at her. You felt dizzy. Sidney sits back down, seemingly a little calmer.

"Guys..." You begin.

"If I was wrong about Cotton... and the killers still out there..." she bites her lip, blinking back tears. You hug her.

"Okay, now you sound like some Wes Carpenter Flick." You tell her mid hug. Sidney smiles.

"Don't freak yourself out. We have a long night ahead of us." Tatum tells her and they smile.

"You're right. I'm cracking up. Ignore it." She tells you.

"Come on," Tatum says, standing up and opening the front door. "Let's rock!" She walks in the house. Sidney follows suit. You linger, taking a deep breath and looking out to the street. You stumble. Ghost face is standing right there. You blink, and he's gone. Just my imagination. You think.

"Coming, n/n?" Tatum shouts from halfway up the stairs. You give a quick "yes" and look back.

Billy takes off the mask, breathing heavily. Did she see me?

Tatum and Sidney run to the grocery store to get food and liquor while you go to the Blockbuster to grab some movies. Walking in, you see Randy and Stu talking. Stu notices you.

"Hey, y/n!" He shouts, gesturing you over. Immediately, you see Billy talking to 2 girls. When Stu calls your name, Billy spins around to look at you. You smile and give him a wave. Walking over to Stu and Randy, you overhear their conversation.

"If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath, would you stand in the horror section?" Randy asks Stu. You laugh slightly.

"Not if you were guilty." You tell Randy, leaning on the shelf that Randy was restocking. Little did you know, Stu gave you a nervous look. He knew what was happening.

"It was all a misunderstanding, remember? He didn't do anything. They checked." Stu tells you and Randy. You nod. Randy looks at Stu, annoyed.

"Stu, you're such a lap dog. He's got killer printed all over his forehead." Randy tells him, obviously annoyed. Stu rolls his eyes.

"Then why would the police let him go?" You ask, fiddling with videos.

"Simple, my dear Y/n, they obviously don't watch enough movies. It's standard horror movie stuff. Prom Night revisited." Randy tells you. You smile. That's stupid. Billy's no killer.

Author's Note:
Shortest one yet! Told you I'd spread 'em out. So, advice, should I make a second book and Billy's side to the story? We don't see him much and it'd be interesting to see what he does. Thoughts?
