I's a Scream Baby [Scream 1 fanfic]

Chapter 5

Riley Residence

Tatum, Sidney and Stacey are in Tatum's room laying in the twin beds. Her room is a pretty standard teenage bedroom filled with posters and messy. The mahogany desk is directly in front of the beds and books and magazines cover the desk. Clearly, Tatum didn't use that desk to study.

The three girls are already in their pajamas and Tatum wears the most gigantic grin ever. "God, I loved it! I'll send you a copy. BAM! bitch went down." The blonde punches a blue teddy bear. "I'll send you a copy. BAM! Stace Super Bitch." Tatum laughs, earning an eyeroll from Sidney.

Stacey chuckles. "It felt good in the moment. She deserved it for taunting Sid."

Dewey appears in the doorway holding an ice pack. "I thought you might want some ice for that right hook." He hands to Stacey who smiles.

"Thanks, Dewey." She places the pack on her knuckles and winces.

"I'll be right next door. Try to get some sleep." He smiles at the girls.

Sidney sits up straight on the bed and turns to Dewey. "Any word on my dad?" She asks hopeful.

"Not yet, but we're looking." Dewey shakes his head softly. "If you need anything..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Tatum motions at her brother to leave and he smiles before closing the door.

Sidney lies on her back and places her feet at the head of the bed. "Just another sleepover at the Riley's." The brunette states.

"Just like old times, ain't it?" Tatum smiles widely.

"No, nothing's like it used to be." Stacey claims and looks at Tatum. "Sometimes I wish this was just some nightmare."

Tatum sits next to Stacey and puts one arm around her shoulders. "Stace, I know we haven't talked much but I just want you to know that you're still my best friend."

Stacey's green eyes fixate on Tatum's hazel ones. "Even after I stole your boyfriend?"

"How could you steal something that wasn't mine to begin with?" Tatum hugs her friend. "Stu was always crazy about you."

Sidney suddenly rolls over at her side and looks at her friends. "Do you really think Billy did it?" Tatum asks the brunette.

"He was there, Tatum." Sidney sighs.

"And he had a phone." Stacey states.

"I knew this guy was too perfect." Tatum nods. "He was destined to have a flaw."

"Too bad his flaw is being a secret psycho." Stacey rolls her eyes and Tatum chuckles while Sidney remains silent.

There's a soft knock at the door and an older woman peeks inside. It is Mrs. Riley. She smiles at the girls. "Telephone, dear."

"Who is it?" Tatum asks while knitting her brows together.

"It's for Stacey." The woman replies.

"My mom?" Stacey smiles and Mrs. Riley nods, causing the blonde to jump out of bed and running towards the phone. "Hello, mom."

"Hi, honey." Ellen greets her daughter. "Dewey sent me a message and I just got it. He said you were safe but were attacked at Sidney's house. What happened?"

Stacey takes a deep breath. "I got your note but I didn't feel like staying alone so I decided to go to Sidney's." Her hands start shaking. "The killer called and then attacked us."

"Do you need me, sweetheart?" Her mom asks.

"No. I'm staying at the Riley's and I feel safe." Stacey smiles softly. "Don't worry about me."
