Be Normal: A Heathers Fanfiction

Chapter One

"Why can't people listen for once!" Heather McNamara screamed running out of her dad's house.

You'd think she was being a normal angsty teen but you'd be wrong. She had been acting like this for quite awhile now. Maybe it was because of Heather Chandler's death. Or maybe it was from how Heather Duke had been acting. I'm pretty sure you get the point.

Heather's parents had been divorced for a couple of years so she was used to the whole switching system but today wasn't a switching house day. It was in the middle of the week, a Wednesday to be exact. She fumbled with her car keys, trying to unlock the door. Once she got in the car she sat there for a second. Heather Mac banged her head on the steering wheel in frustration. She let out several screams. Her eyes became red and a familiar stinging sensation appeared. Tears began to form.

She needed to get away. She needed a break from this chaos. She wanted to run away but the cops could easily catch her. Her heart raced, her breathing quickened, and her vision became blurry. It looked as if this was all a dream.

Heather started the car quickly and began driving. Unknown of where she was going, unsure how long this would be, uncertain of what she was doing.

An hour had passed and she was still driving. Around this time it was 7ish, Mac kept driving. She was the type of person to runaway from their problems. She was the type of person who would try to escape everything. The type who wouldn't face their fears. She was scared. Definitely frightened. Her thoughts were interrupted by the honking of a car. She looked up and saw headlights coming at her.

"Fuck!" Heather screamed.

All of a sudden she woke up, drenched in sweat. Heather was gasping for air. Her throat felt scratchy, it felt like a desert. She swallowed a dry lump of air and scanned her room, quickly. It was pitch black besides her nightlight which was placed below the clock that read: 3:36am. Well, now she couldn't fall back asleep. She was wide awake.

Mac sat up, rubbing her eyes. She stood up, wobbling but got her balance. "Ugh." She groaned while flicking on the light. "Ahhh" She hissed then proceeded down the stairs. Heather found herself in the kitchen, by this time it was around 4:05am.

As the sun rose she sat at the window drinking her morning coffee. Heather had been ready for the day since 5am. She grabbed her bag and took off to the bus stop.

Heather McNamara clutched a notebook and textbook close to her chest, almost like a security blanket. Her peers flooded the main hall of Westerburg High. A familiar face made her way through the crowd. Heather Duke.

"Heather!" Duke called.

"Oh, hey Heather." Mac stuck a cheesy smile right on.

"Did you hear the news?"

"What news?"

"Kurt and Ram killed themselves. They were found in their underwear in the forest. Supposedly, they were hiding their gay forbidden love." Duke spoke cracking up.

"Oh my god," Mac gasped and brought a hand up to her mouth. She was stunned. First Heather Chandler and now Kurt and Ram. Who was going to be the next victim of suicide? Was it going to be her? If so, would anyone care? Would everyone just laugh?

"Heather?" She snapped her fingers in Mac's face.

"Uh, sorry." She spoke quickly.

"You we're out for a few seconds. Anyway, hopefully they cancel school soon."

"That's what you're worried about?" Heather M said in an annoyed tone.

"This was bound to happen, Heather. We all knew they were gay...well, I guess someone didn't." Duke spoke in a snarky tone.

"Heather killed herself because everything was too much for her. She couldn't handle it. No one realized she had feelings. Next Kurt and Ram kill themselves because they had to hide their love for one another. Don't you see what's happening? Westerburg High is collapsing around us. This is all too much for everyone! Suicide is now looking for its next victim. One of us could be next!" Heather Mac was cut off by a familiar cackle. It was an evil chuckle.

"It could be you." The voice whispered into McNamara's ear.

"Heather? Is that you?" Mac spoke, eyes widening.

"Why don't you come join me, Kurt and Ram?" Heather Chandler whispered again. Suddenly the voice was gone. The girl in red was gone. Everything was completely normal.
