Psycho For Red

Chapter 8

I arrived outside Stu's place and knocked on his door, it was such a stunning house to me.

The door opens and Stu immediately hugs me.

"Hey Stu" I frown but hug him back.

"You heard from Billy? He said that he would call me and hasn't" He sounded panicked.

"Oh, Billy was arrested..." I trail off.

"What?! Why?!" He asks, anger crossing his features before settling on concern.

"Sidney accused him of being the killer.." I trail off.

"Complete bullshit!" He shouts causing me to frown at him as he rubs his face "Why did she say he was the killer?" He asks me.

"Apparently the Killer in his costume attacked her, but disappeared and a few moments after Billy climbed in her window, he heard her scream and wanted to help her.." i try explaining as i am pulled inside by him quickly.

I walk into his living room, seeing a blanket, bowl of popcorn and a movie on the TV.

I smile at that "movie night?" He looks down at me.

"Always" he grabs my hand, dragging me to the couch and sitting down before wrapping the blanket around us.

I found it strange "Stu, you do know i like guys?" He blinks at me before shrugging over dramatically.

"Shh, just watch the movie" he says, unpausing it and grabbing the popcorn before leaning his arm on the back of the couch.

I inch away from him slightly before leaning back.

I wasn't about to try it on with one of the girls' men.

After a while I hear light snoring and I glance at Stu, he was positioned at a weird angle.

I stand up, sliding out from the blanket and lifting his legs up before gently lowering his head to the armrest.

I cover him with the blanket, turning off the TV and head upstairs.

I check each room, trying to find one that wasn't as occupied with their belongings and find one.

I walk in, taking off my converse and climbing into the bed tiredly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to the sound of a voice downstairs.

I frown as I listen more closely, it didn't sound right, not quite human.

I stand up, walking to the top of the stairs, no longer hearing anything as I slowly make my way down, gripping my pocket knife as I turn the corner tightly.

I run into a warm wall and fall back.

"Oh, shit! Alex, you okay?" Stu caught me by my waist hurriedly.

Jesus this guy had some strength.

"Sorry Stu, I thought I heard something and came to check" I admit as I quickly step away from him, glancing at the white box in his hand before looking up at him face "you going to bed?" He nods at me and I jump as the landline rings.

He groans and walks towards it, I follow him, frowning as he turns on the kitchen light and glance at the wall clock.

It was only Midnight.

God it felt later.

"Yo, Macher residence?" He says and I chuckle at how grumpy he sounded.

He was quite cute, he reminded me of a tired toddler.
