Survivor Girl - MTV Scream

Six

"It's Riley, the police found her killed on the station roof." Ms. Belmont said as she left the room.

"Oh my God. Riley?" Lorraine started to sob. "My vision came true! This is all my fault!" Audrey, Emma, Brook, Noah, Jake, and Will hugged her tightly.

"Hey, hey, Lori. It's not your fault."

"Yes, it is!" Lorraine stood and punched the wall. "It is! I should've watched her!"

"Lori, you were exhausted, plus you're still on edge from when this dickhead had you locked in a warehouse bleeding out!" Jake wrapped his arm around Lorraine's shaking shoulders.

"Still." Lorraine lowered her head into her hands. Audrey wrapped her arm around the sobbing girl.

"Shh, shh." She whispered. "It's okay honey."

The others' eyes widened slightly upon Audrey's pet name. Lorraine clutched the blankets under her fingers.

"This is all my fault!"

"Lori-" Emma began.

"No, Emma!" Lorraine threw up her hands. "It's my fucking fault she's dead, okay!"

Mrs. Belmont entered the bedroom holding a tray with an herbal tea and cookies. She placed it carefully in front of the teens.

"Enjoy."

"Thanks, Mom."

Mrs. Belmont nodded before she walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Lorraine grabbed a cookie and bit into it. Her tears ran down her face and stained her blanket.

"Oh, shit, guys I have to head out." Brooke stood up and grabbed her purse. She held Lorraine's hands and kissed them each. "Lori, it's okay and you're not at fault."

"Lori, we're going to head out." Audrey stood up and held Lorraine's hands. "You should get some sleep."

"N-no." Lorraine sobbed. "I don't want to be alone."

Audrey's face softened. Her lips lightly grazed Lorraine's cheek.

"I promise I'll come back and we can have a girl's night okay?"

"Okay." Lorraine uttered weakly before she laid back against the pillows.

"Good. I'll be back."

Lorraine awoke hours ago to her room bathed in darkness. Her phone vibrated against her table, she shakily reached out for it. Her vision adjusted as the caller ID was Will.

"Hello?" She groaned softly.

"Lorraine." Will's voice was quiet and rushed.

"Will! Where are you?"

"I'm at Emma's, why?"

"It's like 10 o clock, why aren't you home?" Lorraine fidgeted with her blanket.

"She and I were working on homework, anyway, she and I just finished preparing dinner, so I'll see you soon, okay Lori?"

"Dinner? It's 10 o clock at night-"

Will hung up leaving her alone.

"Stupid bastard."
