Friday

    Your eyes skimmed the pages of the black notebook. You started reading on the day that you came back home...

    9/23/1996

    Y/N is back, what timing too? Billy has been talking all this crazy nonsense about Friday, about a party that hasn't been planned yet. It makes me wonder if he has ulterior motives to try and do something with Sid. But I'm about to go to a movie night at Y/N's house. I don't know what is wrong with me, I really like Tatum so much but when Y/N is around I have to consider how much I think I really like Tatum. Y/N and I also had our first-ever talk today about why I didn't talk to her for so long, I didn't know how to tell her I had been trying to mask my feelings for her because of Tatum... But at any rate, I gotta go to movie night.

    You read that entry about a hundred times, he didn't know Billy and him were going to cause a massacre... You would continue to read to the next journal entry.

    9/24/1996

    Last night I stayed over at Y/N's place and I kinda did something bad... When she fell asleep and everyone for that matter I moved her from where she was sleeping next to Randy to sleep next to me. I know it was wrong but it just didn't feel right watching her sleep so peacefully next to someone else. I also got us stuck in detention today so that was a setback. I've also decided that I extremely hate Steven Orth. That little asshole already stole my ex-girlfriend, why does he need to try and take Y/N too. I might break him if he goes near Y/N again after the shit he pulled at the party tonight. I didn't leave her side until a good hour after she fell asleep just needing to cool off before I did something stupid.

    Wow. That makes a lot more sense looking back on that week. You had been around Steve an awful lot before his death. You thought about the brunette and remembered hitting him, assuming that was the next entry you would read.

    9/25/1996

    I did something bad. I did something really bad. I was with Y/N and Randy and Steve walked in and I almost lost it. He put his hands on her again, I couldn't let that happen. After watching his hands land on her once that was it. I knew if I ever saw him near her again I would go insane. Billy told me that Steve was planning on breaking up with Casey for Y/N, and I was distraught... Billy told me the only way to stop it was to kill him. Was to kill the boy who put her in harm's way once but never again. I did something really bad...

    Billy gaslit Stu. You thought back to everything seeing this in writing made so much more sense in your brain. Billy was Stu's best friend, why wouldn't Stu trust him? Your eyes skimming the lies that Billy spewed, this was all to push Stu-.

    9/26/1996

    I promised myself it would never come to this. That it would never come to hurt her. But I had read somewhere that if someone is in the hospital with a head injury, they couldn't be discharged for at least twenty-four hours for observation. So when I saw her show up at Sidney's house I knew I had to do it, I knew I had to keep her safe until Billy's plan was fulfilled. But I feel like something went wrong, I forgot something, I don't know what I forgot I just did. But as of now I refuse to hurt her ever again, seeing her in the hospital was way too much. And knowing it was because of me made it even worse...

    What the fuck? You read the words over and over again. He knew about the party, he knew that Billy's goal was to kill Sid, why didn't he stop him? Why didn't he say anything? Why would he host the party with all of our friends there putting them in harm's way?

    9/27/1996

    It's a couple of hours until it's all supposed to go down. I already called the police leaving an anonymous tip that there was a party at my place. That should keep Y/N away. I also heard a hilarious joke at the video store when I went to go fuck with Randy. He asked me if I thought he even had a shot with Sidney since Billy was in jail for the night, I mean can you believe that? Downgrade from Billy Loomis to Randy Meeks? I wish I could have told him not to allow Sidney to be the end goal seeing as if Billy gets his way tonight he will never meet someone to fulfill her. And he especially can't move on to Y/N...

    What? Where is Tatum? Why is there nothing even remotely about Tatum? Why is it all you? You felt terrible that Tatum's name didn't make it into that week especially seeing as how she was his girlfriend. It made you think about things. Your heart broke for Tatum as you reread the passage but you couldn't help but feel warm inside. What was wrong with you?

    You would flip through a couple of pages before finding what Dewey must have been talking about. Your eyes skimmed the page that read your name all over it. You read your name each time. Different fonts, colors, pressures, inks. You looked at the writing noticing that not once did it ever look like Stu's handwriting. It was all boxy or bubble or cursive writing, none matched the writing that you read only a couple of pages prior.

    You would close the notebook as you heard the door swing open. How long have you been reading? You looked up and saw Hallie who looked at you with wide eyes as she walked over grabbed your wrist and dragged you from your bed.

   "Ow Ow Ow kinda hurts ow ow Hallie would you stop?!" You scolded yanking your writs from the girl's grasp as she led you out of the building. You saw the cameras as she started walking with you towards where all the hoopla was.

    "Gale Weathers" You muttered as you and Hallie would stand watching the conference from afar. Your eyes skimmed the audience as you watched Randy and Derek approach you. Derek's arms wrapped around your waist as his chin rested on your shoulder. 

    "What all this?" The boy spoke as he also glanced over the huge crowd as Randy looked at you then at the crowd.

    "Looks like Gale is back to stir all this around again" Randy spoke as you nodded feeling a kiss being placed on the side of your head and hearing the clearing of someone's throat from just behind you.

    You felt Derek's arms leave your body as the group turned around finding sisters of Delta Lambda Zeta standing all with smiles upon their lips.

    "Hello, sisters!" Hallie would speak as you smiled at the girl who greeted them with such excitement.

    "Hello Hallie, Y/N, we are just here to make sure you both will be attending the party tonight" The blonde spoke with immense excitement as you held down your laugh as Hallie elbowed you in the side.

    "Of course, we will be there" Hallie would speak as the girls nodded.

    "Cannot wait to see you there" The blonde would speak as the group would turn around proceeding to spread their 'I'm-better-than-you-ness' everywhere else.

    "Do we-" You spoke simply as you looked at the girl who cut you off without a second thought.

    "We are going" She hissed at you as you put your hands up in defense. Now you guys were turned back around paying attention to the press conference that was unfolding in front of your eyes. You watched as Gale Weathers looked to be the hungriest out of everybody for answers.

    "Still starved as ever" You heard Randy mention under his breath so only you could hear as you found yourself chuckling about his comment. She had taken your, Randy's, and Dewey's stories and made them into her brand. Yes, she went through it but she was the only one profiting from all of your trauma. You wouldn't be surprised if she was in the process of writing another book where Stu comes back and continues what Billy started. You hoped that the woman didn't know about Stu's recent disappearance. 

   The group of you stood there listening to the questions and comments of the conference not gaining much except that they had no leads or any idea where to even start. You looked to Randy finding his eyes already on you as you motioned that you guys should go before Gale saw you guys. As you and Randy turned beginning to leave, Derek and Hallie followed suit making your way back to your respective homes to get ready for the party later that night...
