I Hate That I Love You ✔️

Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Scream franchise. This is written for fanfiction and entertainment purposes only.

Author's Note:

I wrote a Quinn x OC story because I feel like she's underrated. I wish she had more scenes in the movie. This chapter takes place toward the ending of Scream 5. Enjoy reading! :)

"Fuck you, Amber! I'm not the fucking killer!" Liv, Elijah's ex-girlfriend, yelled at her.

"I know," Amber smirked and pulled her gun out of her pocket and shot Liv's head. Her blood splattered onto the walls as her body slumped to the floor. "Welcome to Act Three." Amber had an evil smile on her face and her eyes darkened as she turned her gun onto Sam ready to shoot her.

But Tara came to the rescue when she grabbed Amber's arm to pull upward and a bullet hit the ceiling. Richie, Sam's boyfriend, quickly took Sam, and they ran away downstairs to the basement.

Elijah felt himself get shot at the shoulder as Amber was shooting everywhere while fighting Tara, Naomi, and Amber's sister, Gabrielle.

"Elijah!" He heard his girlfriend, Lucy Schneider, scream and ran toward him. She helped him get up, so they could go into the kitchen to safely get away from Tara, Naomi, Gabrielle, and Amber's fighting. 

Naomi and Gabrielle fell to the floor when they got shot a couple of times.

"Go help the girls, Lucy!" Elijah told her through the pain of his gun shot wound.

"No, I'm not leaving you! I'm not going to lose you, too!" Lucy vowed with determination as tears freely streamed down her face. She already lost her big brother, she didn't want to have her boyfriend receive the same unfortunate fate.

In that moment, Elijah remembered why he loves her.

As he was leaning onto the kitchen counter, their eyes connected, and he used his other good arm to pull his girlfriend in for a kiss.

"I want you to be safe." Elijah said honestly.

"I want you to be safe, too," Lucy insisted. "We have to hide somewhere. Think you can come with me?"

"Yeah." He replied, grabbing her hand and let's her lead the way.

Elijah found himself hiding in some bedroom that looked too neat and perfect like it was for guests. Lucy quickly locked the door and they sat down on the bed together, holding onto each other. It was the most terrifying moment of their lives.

"Anyone hiding, killer or not, you have five seconds to show yourself!" Elijah heard his mother's voice from downstairs. 

It was as if all blood drained from him and he felt fear for his mother. Why would she bring herself to this house?

"Mom..." Elijah muttered under his breath, being horrified. He was about to get up, but Lucy stopped him.

"No, don't-"

"It's my mother, Lucy." He got up anyway and went outside, his girlfriend closely following from behind.

The two teenagers went downstairs and Elijah saw his mother at the closet with a gun in her hands.

"Mom!" He called for her. Him and Lucy jumped when Sidney got spooked herself at his voice and turned the gun onto him. 

But Sidney immediately relaxed once she saw it was only her son and his girlfriend. She lowered the gun down and her arms were at her sides.

"Oh, Eli, my baby..." Sidney approached her son and her heart broke at his bleeding shoulder. But she hugged him anyway, being careful not to hurt him. Elijah hugged her, too.
