i didn't know any of this would happen. how was i supposed to know i would've actually fallen in love with tara? i knew i couldn't be in love with her, but yet here i was willing to give up my mask for her.

tara's older sister, sam had killed my oldest brother, richie last year and ever since his death, my father had recruited, me, my twin ethan and our older sister, quinn to help avenge our brother richie.

my father had it all planned out after richie's death and i was more than happy to kill sam and the ones she loved. that is, until i eventually fell in love with tara.

my father had me, ethan and quinn apply to blackmore university and to our surprise, we all got in. quinn was sam and tara's roommate, ethan was chad's roommate, who's also a good friend of same and tara's and i? well, i was tara's girlfriend.

the plan wasn't for me to pursue tara, but once my siblings saw how tara would flirt with me they told our father and he insisted on me being with tara. being with tara would make our big reveal all the more painful and it would also make them think i wasn't ghostface.

three months had went by and at first i did not feel a single thing towards tara. i hated having to pretend to like her. i didn't dislike her as a person. in fact, tara is a beautiful person inside and out.

i was just so annoyed that my family made me be with her. it wasn't until last month that i started to actually have feelings towards tara. we hadn't kissed once since we started to date, but the moment we did i felt like i was on cloud nine.

my pretending to like her turned into me actually liking her. maybe even loving her in all honesty. that kiss made me realize that i do in fact love tara.

this past month had been such a roller coaster of emotions. i was dealing with having to lie to my family about my feelings for tara. ethan had questioned if i did have actual feelings for tara.

i tried my best to convince them that it was all part of the act, but i wasn't sure if they truly believed me. on the other hand, i was dealing with lying to the woman that i love.

everything was coming to a halt and i simply couldn't figure out what the hell to do. i started to care for tara, mindy, chad, anika and even sam. the woman who killed my brother. if my family
knew the truth, they'd probably kill me.

i loved my family, but killing innocent people felt entirely wrong. at first it felt right, but realizing that richie was a complete psychopath, thanks to sam and the others, made me want to stop all of the madness that was about to endure.

we were in the living room when we heard on the tv that ghostface had killed two students from our college. "guys, what the fuck? is ghostface back?"
mindy asks with a scared tone in her voice.

my father was the one who killed those two boys. he had told my siblings and i that the boys needed to die. it scared me to see my father become a murderer. it scared me that tomorrow night we would try to kill sam.

sam sighs and rushes over towards tara. "pack a bag, we leave tonight." she says as she grabs tara's hand. i look over at ethan and he mouths, 'go' to me, telling me to intervene with sam and tara.

i do as my brother says and get in between sam and tara. "sam, you can't possibly think that this has anything to do with you guys, right? i mean, come on."

sam rolls her eyes at me while tara grabs my hand. "y/n, you wouldn't know anything that we went through last year. tara and i are leaving tonight." sam angrily says, but tara intervenes.
