Psycho For Red

Chapter 10

I walk up the street, noticing a news van and police cruiser not far from it.

Top Story.

I walk up to the front door of the house and knock, scanning the area for anyone.

The door opens and I see Stu go from bored to excited in seconds "finally!" He pulls me inside and I notice a small group of people looking at me.

Wasn't this a party?

"Here you go" he hands me a beer and ushers me onto a love seat, sitting beside me as the two girls in front exchange suggestive looks.

I scan the room.

No Tatum.

No Sidney.

No Billy.

They must still be upstairs.

"Where's Tatum?" I ask Stu and he shrugs.

"Probably gone home" he leans forward, playing with Brigitt's hair who was just in front and I notice Randy glaring at us all.

I ignore him completely and pull out the book, showing it to Stu as everyone is focused on the movie.

"Wha-?" He starts.

"Scan the front and titles" I whisper, pulling my knee up to lean on.

He opens it up, eyes widening as he reads Sidney's Diary.

After a moment he closes it, handing it back to me, jaw clenched.

"Sorry man" I say awkwardly.

"Do me a favor, show Billy it when he manages to make it back down here" I nod slowly, confused. Why would he want to make Billy angry? "thanks love, you're the only true friend we have in this hell" I frown as he looks at me shocked "you didn't read it all did you?" I shake my head, no "you should, head out to the bottom of the garden, there is a light there that will turn on, you can read in peace.

A few minutes pass as we watch Jamie Lee Curtis run around.

Halloween.

"Look, here it comes. SPLAT!" A guy suddenly says.

"The blood's not the right color. Why do they do that? It's too red!" Another whines.

"Here comes another!" Randy states as another idiot dies on the screen.

"Predictable! I knew he was going to bite it!" Someone else comments as I stroke along the spine of the diary.

I was so lonely.

And so angry.

The thought of Billy touching her upstairs...made me feel sick.

Made me want to hurt that miniature version of her mother.

"How can you watch this shit repeatedly?" A guy who looked bored as hell asks.

Randy shushes him and I roll my eyes, the bored guy winking at me.

I look back to the movie.

Stu huffs "  I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts! When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts?" I feel my lip quirk up as I sip my beer.

Typical Stu.

"Not until Trading Places in 83. Jamie Lee was always the virgin in horror movies, she didn't show her tits until she went legit" I raise my brows at Randy in shock.

The nerdiness was real.

"No way..." A random guy mutters.

"That's why she always lived, only virgins can outsmart the killer in the big chase scene in the end. Don't you know the rules?" I look at him, confused, noticing everyone else give him the same look.
