P.S. ~ Don't mind the cover. I know it's for the Scream movies and this is a lab rats fic, but that is the bloodiest thing I currently have in my camera roll and I thought that it goes perfectly with the story (besides the fact that it's a different fandom of course).
Also, Chase and Bree are twins instead of older sister and younger brother. Bree is still gonna be older, but only by a couple of minutes. I don't know why, but I like the idea of Bree and Chase being twins. I guess it's because it gives them a sort of bonding that the others don't have.
