The Monsters Inside and Out (Scott Howl x Depressed Reader)

17. The Game (Part 2)

Alex, Dawn, and Micah. The three people who have made your life more miserable every day. Alex was the boy who would trip you in the halls, smack stuff out of your hands, take your lunch money. Dawn was the girl who always commented on your looks, calling you an accident, made fun of the way you dressed, the way you looked. And Micah was the one who used to be your friend. You two were close, and you loved spending time with eachother. But one day it was decided that you two barely knew eachother. She became popular, after developing early. She became the biggest slut in the school. You didn't miss her though. She was an abusive friend. So it doesn't matter anymore. She started talking. "You have got a lot of nerve coming to this game, after what you did. You killed some of my favorite people. I understand why you wanted to kill the fucking dork, but why you thought you should kill MY friends is beyond me. I knew you couldn't take a joke, but I didn't realize you'd be willing to kill them." You could feel the area getting hazy. Your heart started beating faster and your breath became heavier with every second. Your started feeling light headed and your vision started blurring. "Hey! Leave us alone, we're not doing anything wrong!" You look up, and saw it was Polly talking. She was standing up straight, and staying stiff. She even looked sober. "What happened at your school wasn't a joke! It wasn't funny! (Y/N) had no control over what was happening, and shouldn't be blamed for it!" Dawn takes over. "Yeah, sure, little cut-myself-for-attention here didn't have control over murdering people! Next thing you know, they'll be punching pregnant women on 'accident' too!" Amira chimes in, "So you think (Y/N) is gonna punch you?" "I'm not pregnant!" "Oh.. Could've fooled me~" You all chuckle at that comment. It wasn't the best joke, but it doesn't matter. Finally, Alex gives his shot. As he speaks, he inches closer to you. "And look at you. Little pussy. Hiding behind your friends? You let your little freakshow here deal with us, because you know you can't do it yourself. And look at you now." He is becoming uncomfortably close. "Shaking, crying, staying silent. Your mommy always dropped you off at school, where's the baby's daddy? Did he see the bitch you are? Did daddy leave because of his failure?" He grabs you by the collar. "Maybe that's why your the only one. Daddy left so you couldn't get a brother or sister? Or maybe mommy and daddy just didn't want another failure after you?" Dawn added.. "Maybe they did have one, but then (Y/N) killed it too!" You fall to the ground.

And hear your mom shriek. You open your eyes, and see the ceiling of your room. You look over on the other side. His bed is empty. You get out of bed, and head down the hall, following the direction the scream came from. She was looking into a room with her hands covering her mouth. "M-Mommy, what happened?" She looks at you with shock and horror in her eyes. She looks into the room, and shuts the door. "Oh, it's a-absolutely nothing s-sweetie.." She puts on a calming look, but you know it's fake. "Do you wanna go to the park, honey?" You gazed at the door, ignoring her. She grabbed your shoulder, and led you to your room. "C'mon, let's get you ready." Your mom left the room, and you got ready. You made our way into the kitchen, but your mom didn't notice you right away. She was on the phone, and you could hear her half of the conversation. "Yeah.. The blood is everywhere.. Please.. It was my husband.. No, I don't.. He's currently in the room.. He's asleep, and holding a knife.. The blood's all over him too.. I'm sure of it.." Your mind went back to the room. Is that what she was talking about? Before she could see you, you turned around, and went down the hall. You reach the door your mother closed. You put your hand on it, and slowly turned the knob. The door opens, and your met with a horrific sight. Your father was asleep on the couch, a knife in his hand, and covered in blood. Your brother, Acasius, was in the middle of the room, in a pentagram. He was dead. His lifeless body laid on the floor. You noticed half of it was missing, and you could see his organs spilling out. The tears welled up in your eyes, and you couldn't move. Your dad shuffled a bit in his sleep, and you shut the door as quickly and as quietly as possible. You came back to the kitchen, where your mother was waiting. She perked up when she saw you, saying, "Are you ready to go, honey?" "W-what a-about Acasius?" She looked at you with worry, then fake relief. "Him and Daddy are running some errands." Your mom strapped you into the back seat of the car, and started driving. You learned something that day: Don't trust what others say. On the drive, you fall asleep.

And wake up in someone's arms. They feel warm and comforting. You start to get up, and your eyes meet Scott's. In a worried tone, he says, "(Y/N)! Are you okay?" You nod your head. Scott yells "They're okay!" to the field. He helps you up and pulls you into a hug. "You got hit in the head with the football.. I was so worried you'd be hurt.." You did have a headache, but Scott doesn't need to know that. Being in his arms makes it bearable anyway. You pull away however, and tell Scott to get back to the game. He runs back, and when you turn around, you realize you had an audience. People from both Spooky High and your old school were all around. It started becoming difficult breath, and that's when Amira started clearing the area. As people left, you heard the indistinct chatter of your former classmates, making comments about you and what just happened. You ignored them though, because the only people who were left were your friends, and the other three. You got up, brushed yourself off, and turned to your friends. "Welp, I'm getting thirsty, can we get a drink?" Amira smiled, and said, "Yeah, let's go." The four of you began to walk away, when Micah said something. "Hey! We're not done here!" Oz turns and tells them, "WE are." "What, you think you can run away? Just because your boyfriend made you feel better?" You thought about punching her square in the face. But you can't. That's just what she wants. You continue walking. "He looks like an idiot though. He's gross, and ugly, and it looks like he sucks at football, he'll probably lose the game for you guys. Cuz he's just a dirty animal. Unlovable. I guess your perfect for eachother." That's it. You turn around, ready for a fight. But it looks like someone beat you to it. You smirk as the leader of the Wolfpack grabs Micah by her shirt collar. You say, "Heyyyy guy, what brings you out here?" He replies with "Well, I needed to take a piss really quick, but then I heard this bitch talking shit about our boy Scott. And you know, the bathroom is SO far away, so I guess this will have to do." He throws her on the ground, and pees on her. As she's screaming, Alex and Dawn watch in horror, while the rest of you laugh at her. Polly and Amira take a video, while you take a few pictures. He finishes, and gets back to the game. As Micah sits in horror, the four of you walk up to her, and say, "Smile for the camera!" She runs away crying, and her friends run to her, flipping you all off along the way.
