PSYCHOPATHS [+18] SCREAM

Chapter 2

After my shift at the diner, I ended up getting back to my apartment pretty late, Thanks to the rude douchebag who decided to make my life a living hell with his group of friends who didn't even leave a tip, just a big ass mess.

I groaned while stretching my body lately. I've been pushing it too much but I couldn't stop working. I needed the money.

The floorboards creek due to pressure but not from me. I Pause looking toward the hallway toward my bedroom. The phone rang loudly making my heart race but there was no way in hell I was answering. I grab my bat from under the couch calmly walking toward my bedroom. I observed my room making sure nothing was out of place, everything seemed right until I saw one of the drawers was open.

Before I can even think I hear a rustle of fabric behind me feeling the instinct I duck turning my body toward the killer before swinging, It connects hard with his chest. I hear a deep groan as he lands on his back holding his chest.

I breathe heavily two seconds go by before I go to swing again but he slides back. Before I could swing again he tackled me down hard making me drop my bat. my head gets slammed down again making me feel extremely dizzy. I hold my head trying to stay awake.

A sharp pain in my thigh makes me scream out. I push at the masked intruder but a sharp knife against my neck makes me stop. Finally able to see straight I see he took a syringe of my blood once full he roughly pulls the needle out. He stands up watching me for a few seconds before leaving me there.

I breathe out in relief, that was the weirdest encounter by far. Why the hell did that freak take my blood? After passing out I woke up in the hospital with Tatum, Cotton, and Stu standing around me.

"How'd I get here?" I groan lifting. Cotton kisses my forehead cradling my head with his hand. "I'm so glad you're okay, I came as soon as Tatum called," My lip wobbles as I try to hold back tears, feeling awkward I pull away from him.

"You're welcome," Tatum whispers before turning to the nurse. "Where the fuck is your doctor she's awake now,"

"Right," the nurse mumbles out nervously before leaving. Tatum mumbles something about her being an idiot, making me laugh. I feel Stu stare at me but I don't look at him. I'm not sure who attacked me but until I find out I'm not trusting any men around me.

"Did you tell the police whoever broke in took my blood?" I ask, everyone's eyes go wide including Stu which surprised me. Maybe it wasn't him.

"Where's my bat?" I ask, looking around worried when I don't see it. Stu smiles, pulling it from behind his back before handing it to me. I whisper a thanks and feel my cheeks heat up when our fingers touch.

"Thanks for coming Stuart but I think me and Tatum got it from here," Cotton says with a fake smile, Stu looks like he wants to argue but decides not to and leaves but not before giving me one last glance.

"I don't like that boy.. Or Roman. They can't keep their eyes off you,"

"Cotton" I scold, not wanting to hear what he has to say about either of them. "Don't get me started on the things I heard about Loomis," I glared at him, making him laugh, putting his hands up in surrender.

"Sorry, I'll butt out,"

"He's just being a dad," I glare at her but she just shrugs back at me.

It gets extremely awkward when Sidney walks into the room with Randy by her side, who keeps opening and closing his mouth like he wants to say something. "I'm gonna go check into a hotel," Cotton says after a few seconds.

"You're gonna stay?" I was surprised. "Are you sure you don't wanna go back to mom and make sure she can handle herself," my voice sharp as I hint to him that I need him with her for a reason?
