It's A Death Wish 2
Scream Prequel
1995
As the hour passed, you were getting ready to meet Billy and Stu outside, closing your locker Billy came out of nowhere causing you to jump “God! What is your damage?!” you yell, lightly slapping his arm three times.
“What’s eating you?” He stepped closer into your space.
“I swear, you ARE the jump scare king. Do you get off on it or something?” You huffed.
“Eh, you’re not usually this easy.” He briefly smiled while eying your reaction.
“Mmm, yeah, you usually have to work harder.” You responded.
Billy leaned in closer and whispered, “A lot harder.”
You felt your face grow warm “Are we still looking at the Halloween stuff today?” You changed the subject.
He studied you closely “Unless you don’t want to come with.”
“Of course, you, me and Stu always go early costume shopping.” You raised an eyebrow.
Billy walked ahead of you out the front doors.
“Wait up.” You called out.
“Then walk faster.” He said, not even slowing down.
“Hey, short legs here.” You protested.
He chuckled and slowed down, matching your speed.
“Better?” He glanced down at you.
“Much-”
“Come on man, I’ve been waiting for ages!” Stu yelled out, cutting you off.
You both rolled your eyes.
“Blame short fry, not me.” Billy teased.
“Shoulda known man, come on sweetness, got the front seat ready for ya.” Stu chuckled while holding the door open.
After you all got in, Stu drove to the costume store. Once there, the three of you made your way to the costume section, looking through the selections something caught your eye.
“Cool.” You commented and pulled the packaged costume out to have a better look.
“What is?” Billy asked, still looking through the rack.
“This is, it’s classic, Simple, I like that.” You held it out for them to see “Father death…. Ha, I would have gone with Ghostface or something.”
“Oh, nice find.” Stu rested his head on your shoulder while examining it. “Totally agree on the name though.”
You smiled and put it back, turning to face them both. “So, what costumes are you guys going for?’
“Micheal Myers, Duh.” Stu mimicked the knife motion.
You rolled your eyes and groaned. “Seriously? Again?”
“Yeah, you went as that last year. Original.” Billy sounded unimpressed.
“Well, what’s your idea princess?” Stu replied sarcastically.
“Hmmm, Maybe Buffy’s prom dress.”
Billy and Stu both groaned.
“What?” Not surprised by their reaction.
“Isn’t it bad enough that you made us watch that crap when it came out? Twice.” Billy groaned at the memory.
“Worst movie… Ever!” Stu made a pumping motion with his hand.
“Coming from you that’s rich, do I have to list the shit I’ve sat through for you guys?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Eh, I’d rather see the cheerleading outfit.” Stu joked.
“Oh, shocker. What about you?” You pointed at Billy.
“Yes to the cheerleader outfit.” He smirked.
You rolled your eyes “That’s not what I meant and you know it.”
“I’m thinking Officer Brody from Jaws.” He shrugged.
“Ohhhh, I like that. Love a man in uniform.” You teased, watching a light blush appear on his face. “That reminds me, you know tomorrow?”
They both nodded “Yeah?”
“How about we ditch movie night and go to the lake.”
“Pfft.” Billy huffed, annoyed at the suggestion.
“But we always do a movie night.” Stu protested.
“Exactly, we always do.” You shrugged, looking between them both.
“Ah-huh and who else do you want to come?” Billy questioned.
“I was thinking us, Sidney, Tatum and Randy… The gang.”
“No way.” Billy held firm.
“The king has spoken.” Stu joked.
“Oh come on, drinks, swimming, it could be fun.” You suggested.
“We vote no.” Billy replied.
"Oh, come on." You turn to Stu, knowing you could get him on board. “What do you think Stu?”
“Hmm, bathing suits, beer and chicks” He raised his eyebrows.
“Hells yeah man, count me in.” He wrapped his arm around your shoulder.
“Seriously?” Billy questioned.
“What? I’m totally a feminist.” Stu happily proclaimed, sticking his tongue out.
“You buying this?” Billy glared.
“Since he’s my needed vote, I am.” You side-eyed Stu.
“Why the sudden change of plans?” He leaned in close, keeping eye contact. "You can't lie to me."
You sighed “Look, Mrs Prescott mentioned that Sid might be feeling left out, it won’t kill you to have it as a group thing every once in and while.”
Billy groaned in annoyance “Whatever.”
“You know she doesn’t like horror movies so I thought this would be something fun.” You counted feeling guilty.
Billy nodded, defeated. “It’s fine, don’t go into panic mode on me.” He scruffed your hair gently.
“Geez, wish I could get my way that easily.” Stu puffed.
You stared at him, confused. “Huh?”
“Shut it, Stu.” Billy warned.
“Just saying man, if I batted my puppy dog eyes maybe I would get my way every now and again.” He joked.
Billy gave him a warning punch in the arm.
“Oww!” He cried out.
Jumping in between them, holding your arms out to stop them “OH my god, boys! Do I have to spank you both?” You growled, looking at them both.
“Kinky, I’m game.” Stu joked.
You rolled your eyes, ignoring Stu. “So you’ll bring the beers and we all drive up?”
"See? Princess always gets her way." Stu laughed.
—---------
It was nearly 6 PM, you all were squeezed in Stu’s car, Tatum sitting on your lap. You were thankful when you saw the lake, it wasn’t the biggest but it was a nice spot with a small waterfall at the end. The boys were getting everything out of the car, while you, Sidney and Tatum stripped down to your suits, wearing them underneath your clothes.
Tatum wore this red bikini top with black bottoms, that looked like they came from Baywatch, she looked stunning in it. Sidney wore this yellow one-piece suit that complemented her body, both were beautiful. body, both were beautiful. You felt self-conscious next to them opting to wear high-waisted black bottoms with a black bikini top, wishing you had brought a spare tank top or something to wear over it.
“Hey, don’t worry, you look hot.” Tatum elbowed yours.
“Thanks.” You smiled back.
As the three of you made your way around the car, you could hear Stu making comments, you couldn’t help but notice the blush on Tatum’s face. Billy was wearing black boardshorts with coloured shaped, Stu was wearing matching blue ones, both shirtless, while Randy wore yellow ones with a matching tank top.
Stealing a glance at Billy, you couldn’t help but look, you only stopped when he caught you, quickly looking away.
You three jumped into the water, shortly followed by Billy and Randy.
“Who wants a beer?” Stu yelled out, walking over with bottles for everyone.
Randy made his way over to you with two beers. “Here”
“Thank you” You smiled, and you looked over to see Billy watching the two of you.
“Excited for Halloween 6? The curse of Micheal Myers, it’s coming out soon.” He questioned.
“Of course, opening night count me there.”
“Hopefully it’s better than the last one.” He grumbled.
You nodded “It can’t be any worse.” You joked.
“You know, the video store gives the workers movie tickets, I can score some for us.” He suggested.
“Hells ya!” You both turned to see Stu coming towards you both.
“Sounds like Stu is onboard,” You remarked.
“He never turns down a free movie.” Randy joked.
“That’s right my man.” Stu threw his arm around Randy.
He was followed by Tatum “Thought we should give the lovebirds some alone time.” She motioned towards Sidney and Billy.
The sun started to set as you sat on a rock under the waterfall, water always made you feel peaceful, letting the cool water wash down, you looked over to see Stu and Tatum alone, leaning in closely, talking. Randy was up at the car playing with the radio, and Sidney was cuddled up to Billy, kissing his neck. You silently watched, catching eye contact with Billy, his eyes bore into yours then slowly his glare roamed your body.
God, what am I doing? not looking away. You watched as his smile grew, his eyes watching the water run down your curves. Taking a deep breath you dove back into the water, swimming towards the edge. You grabbed a towel and sat on the grass, drying yourself when Tatum sat down next to you.
“You looked like you were having fun.” You teased.
She faked surprise “Who, Me? A little but nothing happened, I told him I don’t mess around with someone else’s boyfriend. No matter how much I don’t like the girl, I won’t do that.”
You laughed “I know you wouldn’t Tate, don’t worry.”
She nodded “Good, it matters what you and Sid thinks. Fuck everyone else though.”
“Aww, if I didn’t know any better I would think you’ve had too much to drink.” You joked, earning a laugh from her.
“Right? Enough of this fluffy shit.” She leaned on your shoulder “Hey, are you going to be alright tonight?” She asked.
“Yeah, I’m used to mom taking off with whatever boyfriend it is for the week.” You tried making a joke out of it but honestly, you did get lonely. “Thanks for asking though.”
“Of course.”
“Hey, not to be a buzz kill but it’s 8:30, I should get back.” Randy popped out of nowhere.
“Yeah, by the time we get back it’s my curfew” Tatum added “Hey lovebirds, times up!” She yelled out to Sidney and Billy, still down in the water.
“Already?” Sidney asked, walking toward everyone else, her face was flushed and slightly out if breath.
“Gotta get Cinderella home before midnight.” Stu joked following Randy.
Everyone dried off and threw their clothes on over their suits, pilling back into the car. "Don't mind?" Tatum asked before sitting on your lap, "I mean, it could be worse" you joked, patting your knee, she laughed, taking her seat. "Hmm, gotta love watching you girls get along." Stu joked, watching you both through the mirror. "Don't we always get along?" Tatum joked back. "Last I checked." You laughed, wrapping your arms around her waist, she leaned back into you. Watching Stu's basically pop out was worth it, you both couldn't hold in the laughter.
First to be dropped off was Randy, Then Tatum and Sidney. You were last.
“Hate to say I told you so.” You teased Billy as you got out of the car.
“Yeah, yeah.” That was all he said.
“Night guys.” You walked up to the front door, unlocking it, but looking back to find they were waiting to make sure you went inside. It made you smile, they always did that. Locking the door once you were inside, you made your way up to the bathroom. “Shower” You moaned out.
``````````
You stirred from your sleep, rolling over, hearing a glass break, you practically jumped out of your skin with a scream.
“Chill the fuck out.” You heard a familiar voice hiss out.
Turning your bedside lamp on to find Billy climbing through your window “What the hell is wrong with you?” you grumbled.
“Couldn’t sleep, figured I’d check if you were up for a movie.” He simply gave.
“Couldn’t call?” You groaned.
“I always come through your window" he shrugged.
“Yeah and normally I’m awake.” You sighed “What’s up?”
“Why does something need to be wrong?” Billy replied while climbing into your warm bed.
“Last time you snuck in while I was sleeping, it…” You stopped yourself.
“You can say it, was when my mother left.”
“Sorry, I know you don’t like talking about it…” The elephant in the room, his mother.
“Mmm, got any new movies?” He asked, changing the subject?” quickly jumping back out, looking through them.
You pointed to your TV, where a pile of movies sat. “What time is it anyway?” You were mostly asking yourself as you rolled over, checking your alarm clock, it read 2:45 in the morning…. “Pick anything.” You gave in, guessing that family issues were keeping him awake. Billy flashed a video, showing Candyman 2, you nodded. The TV light hurt your eyes for a moment, Billy came up next to you “Move over.” He motioned with his hands, you huffed as you did so, watching him closely as he got in next to you. “How are you not tired?” You asked while yawning.
“Look all I’m gonna say is stuff about my mother is on my mind and I just needed some company.” He gave, avoiding eye contact, he did that whenever he felt awkward.
You nodded, yawning again “Want to talk?”
“You always ask and I keep telling you no, so why bother?” He eyed you.
“So you know that you can if you want to, but I know it was a long shot.” You smiled.
He seemed satisfied with that and went back to watching the movie. “Don’t blame me if I fall asleep.” You commented.
He laughed “I’m used to it, and I’ll sneak back into my room before my dad wakes up.” it wasn’t long into the movie that you fell back to sleep curled up next to Billy. It happened often, he would sneak in to watch movies or just to hang out, you normally fell asleep before he did.
--------
The phone ringing woke you up, answering it still half asleep “Hello?” checking the time, Why so early? shielding your eyes from the morning sun.
“Y/N!” You heard Randy’s voice in panic
“Randy? What’s up?” You jumped up, suddenly awake.
“Have you seen the news?” He inquired.
“I just woke up dude.” You rolled your eyes.
“It’s Mrs Prescott…She was murdered last night.”
Your stomach dropped, everything went blurry. “Wh-What?!” You cried out in disbelief.
“Sid… She found her, it’s all over the news.”
