-Chapter 24: Meeting Michael Again-

...Amber.

"Amber?" You called her name and approached Amber's desk; her expression continuing to be one of despair. "Is everything okay? You seem so...glum..."

"Oh...hey (Y/n)..." She miserably mumbled, looking up to lock eyes with you.

"What's going on?" You reached out to touch her shoulder, but that made her break down.

"Laura and...and Cadence...they're still...they're still in hospital." Amber wept and wrapped her arms around you in a huge hug as she stood up.

"T-The knife thrown at Laura...It...It had to be pulled out and she...she was in so much pain." Amber was crying into your chest by this point, traumatised. "C-Cadie is still hurt too...and they both haven't left the hospital yet..." Ah, so that's why they were MIA today. 

"Aw Amb, I'm sure they'll be out soon." You returned the hug and tried to comfort her, "These types of injuries take time to heal."

"I know, I know, but..." She broke away and wiped at her eyes, recovering from her sudden outburst. "But what if they don't recover? What if the injuries are fatal? What if—"

"Amber, you're overthi—"

"What if they never ever leave the hospital!?" Amber clutched at her head and you placed your hands on her shoulders, shooting her a soothing look.

"Amber, listen to me." You attempted to console your panicked friend and calm her down - not wanting her to continue freaking out. "They're going to be fine. I'm sure if they were fatal wounds, the doctors would've informed you. I'm also pretty sure Laura and Cadence will return to class soon."

"How can you be so sure?" Amber spoke anxiously, picking up her bag and gripping the strap. Because thinking that way is common sense - is what you wanted to say, but you held your tongue; wanting to cheer her up.

"Because their parents both have phones, so they would've texted you if something majorly bad was going to happen." You pointed out. "Or the doctors would have. Wouldn't you agree?"

"That...That makes sense..." She nodded and pulled herself together, relief washing over her face as her fear faded. "Thank you, (Y/n). I...I really appreciate you helping me out."

"Anytime." You smiled whilst you pushed Freddy and Michael to the side, wanting to make sure she was somewhat alright. "Hey, would you like to walk home together?"

"Oh, no thanks." Amber rejected your offer with a weak smile of her own, "I...I have something to do. I'll be going now."

She left before you could say anything back to her, confusion clouding your mind as you simply stood there. "Take care then, Amber!" You didn't even know if she'd heard you or not, but hopefully she did.

You walked out of the room yourself and hummed under your breath, wondering if your walk home was going like normal. Wait, Freddy had promised you that he'd take you to see Norman, hadn't he? So you sent a quick message to your mom and told her you'd be late home, due to having to do something. A second or two later a gasp slipped through your lips, not expecting to see Michael standing right behind the corner. W...What was he doing inside the building!? And why was he even here in the first place? Surely this couldn't be because of you - otherwise this stalking thing was spiralling way out of control.
