A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Forty-Six

"We have to do something!" I exclaim jumping off the couch. "Abbi come on, you know I'd like to beat the shit out of the guy, but he's dangerous" Scarlett says trying to calm me. "No! I can't just stand by and watch as my father rips my life to shreds!" I exclaim pulling on my shoes. "Abbi please! I-I can't lose you" she stutters.

Although I wouldn't like to admit it but she's right. I keep forgetting that Scarlett has lost too. I sigh and flop back onto the couch.

"Well today really sucks" Scarlett laughs trying to lighten the mood. I laugh a little. "Sometimes I wish we could just go back to old times before everything started going down hill" I tell her.

"I don't! I probably never would of exceeded fuck buddies with Seth!" She exclaims hitting my arm. I can't help but laugh. "Don't laugh you'd probably still be secretly drooling of that dickhead Todd!" Scarlett blurts but covers her mouth. "Sorry, low blow" she mumbles. "It's fine" I assure her although it did hurt my ego a bit.

"So um lets talk about our relationships. How is your's and Pat's ship?" Scarlett asks. I sigh. "We haven't had sex in a while. We've gotten like halfway but we're always interrupted. It sorta sucks" I laugh trying to lighten the mood. "Suck" Scarlett laughs thinking of something perverted I assume.

"What about you and Seth? Any action between you two?" I ask. She bites her lips and wrings her hands. "The night you had me hack that phone? Yeah well I could tell Seth and I were going to have a really good night but Christian walked in and kicked Seth out so that really sucked. And to be completely honest I've had a hard time sleeping since the murders started and having Seth in bed with me made me feel safe. Wow sorry, I just don't have a lot of people to vent to" Scar explains. "Scar it's fine really. If you ever need someone I'm here" I assure her. She nods and leans her head on my shoulder.

"We're screwed. We have Ebola in the states, Robin Williams died, these murders, and the fact that we haven't scoodley-pooped with our boyfriends in like forever" She complains. I laugh even though these subjects are completely serious.

"So I've never told you this but I thought Christian was so hot all throughout the eighth grade" I admit. Scarlett busts out in laughter. "Why?" She asks between laughs. "I don't know" I say beginning to laugh.

"Well at least I'm not the one crushing on your brother" Scarlett laughs. "What do you mean?" I ask and she stops laughing. "Shit, I promised Maggie I wouldn't tell you-shit!" Scarlett grunts. "Scar what is it?" I ask. She sighs and starts "so you see"

"You won't believe what happened when I was over at Abbi's!" I exclaim tossing a small pillow at Maggie. "What happened?" She asks turning to face me. There's something up with her but I'll have to worry about that later. "So Abbi and I were swimming and she dared me to do a dive into the pool. So I did and when I popped back up and swam back to her I realized that my top was completely off and Connor was staring right at me! Oh my god it was so embarrassing!" I explain to Maggie. Her face is a bright red and her arms are tightly crossed on her chest. "Dude what's your problem?" I joke playfully punching her arm. She retaliates by punching me hard in the arm. "Maggs what's going on?" I ask rubbing where she punched. She sighs and plays with a loose hem on my comforter. "I have a crush on Connor" she mumbles. "What?" I gasp. "I like Connor okay" she huffs. "I totally ship it!" I squeak. "Just wait till I tell Abbi she'll"-"no! You can't tell her" she exclaims grabbing my wrist. "Alright alright I promise" I assure her.

"I would of told you sooner but I promised Maggie I wouldn't" Scarlett tells me. "Scar it's fine. That's so cool that she likes him" I exclaim. She smiles and nods.

"Scar can I tell you something?" I ask starting to get serious. "Abbs you can tell me anything" she says getting serious as well. "So do you remember when we were all at the creek together?" I ask starting to feel my stomach churn. "Yeah the one that I got so drunk I thought I could fly? And the one that I found Carly's cold, bloody, dead body?" She asks with a distant look in her eyes at the end. "Yeah" I breathe. She shakes it off.

"So what happened?" She asks. "I sort of got really drunk and had a make out session with Tod in the creek" I nervously admit. She gapes at me. "Wait you what?" She asks her jaw still hanging down. "I-I didn't mean to it just happened" I mumble. "Abbi!" She groans punching my arm. "Why the hell didn't you tell me?!" She exclaims punching my arm again. "I didn't know how you'd react. I didn't want you to be mad" I mumble rubbing the place she punched.

She didn't punch hard but it hurts emotionally. "I'm not mad at you Abbs. I'm pissed that you didn't tell me!" Scarlett exclaims softly nudging my arm. "Does Pat know?" She asks. I scoff. "Of course not and I'd like to keep it that way" I tell her. She sighs. "I won't tell him, but damn Abbi you gotta tell me when stuff happens. I'm your best friend for gods sake!" Scar reprimands. "I know" I mumble.

"Now come here" she says opening her arms. I laugh a little. "Show your bestest friend some love" Scar laughs. I shake my head but give Scarlett and hug. "Now is there anything else you haven't told me?" She asks. I shake my head even though that's not true. I haven't told anyone my plan on killing my father but that's a secret only I will know.

"Hey Scarlett you never talk about your dad, so what's up with him?" I ask. She sighs and shifts. "H-he's getting remarried a week after graduation" she mutters. "What? To who?" I ask scooting closer to her. "Her names Jennifer. She's really nice but like I don't know she's just not my mom. Like my dads a douche and I'm glad my parents divorced but like yeah. She has a seventeen year old daughter, Ellie, she's a junior and she played on the softball team with you our junior year. And Jennifer's already 3 months pregnant" Scarlett explains. "I'm sorry Scar, are you gonna go?" I ask wrapping an arm around her. She nods.

"My moms making me anyway. I have yet to ask Seth if he'll be my date" she laughs. "I'm glad we had this talk" I tell her. "Me too. It took away from the hell that is our life" Scarlett laughs. I nod, give Scarlett a hug, then get up. "Do me a favor and call Seth" I tell her. She looks confused.

"I'm heading to Pat's house so you and Seth can have some free time" I reply with a not-so subtle wink. She smiles. "Thanks Abbs" she replies. I wave goodbye and head to Pat's.
