The Last Scream (Noah Foster/ Scream Series FF)

Chapter 29

*Vex*

Walking around school, I clutched Noah's hand as we walked up to Audrey.

"There's my little felon." He said, Audrey rolling her eyes as she walked up to us. I giggled a little at his side, earning a short glare from Audrey. 

"I'm so glad my ordeal brought you two such amusement." She said, walking beside us as we walking slowly down the halls.

"It would've brought me cold hard cash hawking these bad boys, but then you got sprung early so-" Noah chuckled slightly, swaying a little as he walked. "Silver lining, my Christmas shopping's done." Looking over, I saw Audrey roll her eyes just as I did, trying to hide the small smile spreading over my face.

"Okay, before you ask about my Shawshank Redemption, no, I did not get traded for a pack of cigarettes. Or get chin-checked. And I definitely did not wear the four-piece." A short laugh escaped my lips. I had been in the same position, just a little worse actually. Hearing them joke about it, I couldn't help it. I didn't want their friendship to be ruined over something so small, it was good for a change to find something to laugh about.

"But you did Google prison slang." Noah said. Shaking my head a little, I just barely heard Audrey's reply as I let go of Noah's hand, causing him to look back at me.

"Just going to stop by my locker, you two carry on." He gave me a dimpled smile before turning back to Audrey and continuing to walk away. Quickly, I made my way to my locker, opening it swiftly and grabbing my books, only for a small slip of paper to rush to the ground. Unfolding it, I glanced down at my feet where the crisp, white paper sat. Bending over, I pinched the tip of it, pulling it up to eye-level. Carefully, I unfolded it, only to find it completely blank. Letting out the breath I hadn't even realized I was holding in, I stuffed the paper back into my locker, slamming the door shut and then walking off. Hopefully, class would go by quickly today. Walking back around the school, I bumped into Audrey and Noah who had made a full circle, their conversation and apologies obviously done.

"So, do you hate me?" Audrey asked, glancing up at me. Scrunching my brows, I shook my head vigorously. 

"Of course not. You didn't give up on me when they found the laptop, I'm not going to give up on you." A wide smile spread across her face before she pulled me into a unexpected hug. Chuckling, I hugged her back before letting go, grabbing Noah's hand.

"To class?" With a light groan, Noah and Audrey nodded, Audrey leading the way to Branson's room.

After school, I had stopped by the house to see my mom, letting her know I was okay in person before getting back in a driving away. Ever since Noah and I began dating, ever since the killings, I had spent more and more time away from home. Of course I had, I mean come on, I had been attacked in my own home; something the cops didn't think of when they found the laptop. Though, of course, it was obvious horror cliche. The killer becomes the "victim" of an attack, only for it to either be them who attacked themselves, or their accomplice. Now, driving down the road, I was headed out to meet up with my accomplice; Noah Foster himself. Pulling into my usual parking spot, I hoped out of the car and headed inside, only to be met by Emma and Noah having a conversation.

"So he doesn't die." Stepping forward, I stood beside Noah, looking at Emma.

"So who doesn't die?" I questioned. Emma seemed surprised to see me here, but her face instantly turned serious.

"Will." Then, everything went quickly. Noah grabbed his laptop, rushing over to the couch with Emma not far behind. Sitting beside him, Emma stood behind us, watching as Noah set it all up. After about 5 minutes of waiting, he finally spoke.

"DRADIS contact. I've got the phone." There was a few short noises before the laptop zoomed in on a location.

"I don't see anything." Emma said, inching closer towards the laptop. 

"Someplace out past the crossroads." Noah said. There was the sound of a door opening behind us but I didn't look, instead, my eyes shot to Emma.

"I'm going." She said.

"By yourself?" Noah asked, shooting me a look. 

"She won't be by herself." Turning around, I saw both Brooke and Jake standing there in front of the counter. 

"Guys, no. This psycho is playing sick games." Emma said. Standing up, I walked beside her.

"You're not the only one he's playing games with." I whispered softly. Emma sighed , shaking her head.

"I cannot ask you guys to come." Brooke raised her brows, shaking her head ever so slightly.

"You don't have to." Brooke said. "We've got your back. And Will's. Don't we?" Jake followed up, looking over at Noah with a smirk. My foot began to step towards him as Noah stood up.

"Wait, we?" Noah asked, looking over at me. Jake smiled cruelly, nodding his head before grabbing Brooke.

"Come on, we should head there now." Emma still seemed dazed by the sudden turn of events, but she quickly followed Jake and Brooke out, leaving Noah and I. Walking straight up to him, I shook my head.

"You. Are. Not. Coming." I said. His eyes were wide as I glared up at him. I could not risk him getting hurt. Jake, I would leave behind in a heartbeat. Emma and Brooke, I would try to save. Noah being there would just be another person to look after.

"If you're going, so am I. I'm not leaving you to save their asses if things get rough. Besides, I don't trust Jake, especially around you." Rolling my eyes, I sighed.

"I can take care of myself." Noah chuckled darkly, grabbing my hand.

"I know you can, and, no matter how much I don't want to go; I want to keep you safe." Smiling weakly, I nodded softly, reaching up and placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"You stay with me and don't leave my sight." I whispered before tugging his hand, leading him out of the bat cave and to my truck where Emma already waited, Jake and Brooke in Brooke's car.

"We'll follow you!" Brooke yelled before shutting her window. Nodding at her, I scrambled into my truck, starting the engine and backing out.

"Let's go find Will." I said.

Short chapter. I'm having some problems with the episodes so my updates may be a little slow, but I'm trying as hard as I can. Usually, and update takes me half an hour to an hour. This update alone has taken me an hour and a half because of the problems here. I'll begin on the next ASAP and I hope you enjoyed this!
