"Tara! Sam! Let us in!" You yelled as you pounded on their apartment door, Mindy, Anika, and Chad right behind you. The four of you had been hanging out when you had seen the news about a murder in town and ran there immediately.

"What?" Tara hissed as she swung the door open, the four of you completely walking past her and ignoring her question. Tara had never liked you, you were Amber's twin sister and the two of you had never gotten along. After your sister had been revealed as Ghostface, Tara and Sam never trusted you again.

Thankfully Mindy and Chad knew you didn't have anything to do with your sister's actions, and they were as close to you as they had ever been, but that didn't mean the Carpenter sisters liked you.

"Have you seen the news?" Mindy asked as she walked into the living room where Sam and Quinn sat on the couch.

"No why?" Sam asked, immediately noticing you there and rolling her eyes as she grabbed the remote, changing the channel on the TV. As soon as she saw the news you could see the color drain from her face.

"What, what is it?" Tara asked as she entered the room, her eyes falling onto the TV, the same look of shock and fear on her face. "No..."

"Yeah, we saw it on the TV so we came right over to make sure you guys were okay-" Chad started to say, but Tara quickly cut him off.

"Why the fuck would you bring her with you." She spat as she looked at you, her shoulders tense and her jaw clenched, "I mean, we all know who did this."

"What?" You replied, taking a step away from where she was standing. "You really think I did this? I've been with them all night." You knew that she didn't trust you but you never thought she would so blatantly accuse you of murder.

"She was with us all night." Anika smiled lightly at you.

"Okay, then who are you working with? Hm?" she spat, stepping closer to you as she pointed her finger.

"Are you fucking kidding me-" you began, but you were quickly cut off by Sam.

"You are the sister of a killer, we have reason not to trust you." She spoke as she stood up from where she was on the couch.

"And you are the daughter of one, am I supposed to think you did this?" You hissed back, walking toward the door to their apartment.

"Y/n, where are you going?" Mindy asked before Sam had a chance to reply to your comment, watching as you swung the door open.

"I'm not gonna stand here and be accused of this for any longer." You spat, beginning to walk out. You then felt a hand on your shoulder, Sam pulling you back.

"No you are staying here where we can keep an eye on you." She pulled you fully inside and shut the door, locking it. "Let's just all calm down okay?"

"Calm down? You called me a killer." You replied harshly as you went to sit on the couch, the room going silent.

You knew that they didn't fully trust you because of what Amber had done, but you never thought they would go as far as to truly think you would repeat her actions.

"Come on, let's go talk," Tara said as she grabbed Mindy, Anika, and Chad, the four of them plus Sam going into the kitchen where you could no longer hear what they were talking about.

"If it helps at all," Quinn whispered, standing up from the couch, "I don't think you did this."

"Thanks, Quinn." And with that she headed into her room, some dude still in there from earlier, the two of them going right back to whatever they were doing.

You turned the TV back on and watched some random nature channel, the other room suddenly bursting out in laughter, the atmosphere in there seemingly lifting.
