          “ Ignore Hannah, you know how she is; romantic to a fault. ” Beth says, rolling her eyes good-naturedly and watching as her sister strolls her way to the bathroom. In the meantime, she leans in, CURIOSITY brimming in her eyes. “ I have to ask. You know I do. Do you actually like Josh? ” Could it be? If so, boy did she have knew for Miss Samantha Giddings!

❛ ..s-- sam, i--- ❜  his voice stutters to a halt, encumbered by fear and biting cold.  josh has already been in the mines for too long.  his body aches to the core in ways he’s never experienced before;  where there aren’t bruises, his skin is covered in scratches.  ❛ please, please listen to me f-for a second. ❜  with mike gone, he finds himself urged to speak, as though a part of him knows they don’t have long.  josh steps closer and reaches for her, taking sam by the arm for only a moment---  before he thinks of his actions, thinks of the way he chased her, the way she  screamed,  and releases her just as quickly.

                             what was the  harm  ??       he didn’t   kill   anybody,       despite what   michael   believed. no one was actually       h u r t       in this prank of his.   sure   there’s a few cuts   &&   bruises,       but he didn’t   stab   anyone              or   hit them   with   a baseball bat   for that matter.   (  who  actually  did that again ??  )   her response causes his   loopy gaze   to fixate on her.       (  oh right.   she did.  )   understandable.   he did show himself   “ dying ”   to her   via video.       is that the  new   “ breaking up via text ”   ??               explains her   aggression,       and possible  feel  of   betrayal.      but,  her reaction        he didn’t  regret.     her reaction, was his   favorite.       THIS WOULD ALL BE GREAT FOOTAGE !       but no cameras were set-up.   no,           no     no   no   …           they were going   off-script.       as they have been the moment sam and mike showed up       &&       crashed   the scene.

                             ‘ ‘       uh   …   no,   no   …   i don’t.      ’ ’               he insists with   soft confusion   clouding   current facial features. the gaze of green eyes grows  distant   once more, as his jaw hung loosely           mouth   gaping   open, mind   idle   in it’s work, leaving his face   hanging   there numbly.               ‘ ‘       i don’t        d-don’t   …   i don’t     remember     killing anyone.           despite what this   m-m-moron    is   tuh-t-telling … you.      ’ ’               a   sharp   look   is sent michael’s way. he would   prefer   samantha didn’t see any of this. or see what michael and christopher wanted him to believe was happening. christopher   already   got     “torn a new one”,     after josh’s shouting       (   &&   thrusting   ), and overall   mocking   of his choices. but the conversation with michael got cut   short   with sam interfering.       she didn’t like the prank.       (  which was fair.  )       which prank   did   she like ? neither ?               can’t play hard to get sam,       it’s   not   that fun.

                             ‘ ‘       what’s the matter,   pussy   ?       ’ ‘               a smile  twirls  by the corners,   his tongue   swiping   against his   upper lip,       wettening a   dried mouth    from his   constant,       but   slowed      cold breathing.               ‘ ‘       didn’t  like  the scare   ??         awww        c’mon   !       i thought we had   a   moment.      ’ ’               soft laughter  resembled the pacing of       hiccups,   though even  those  sounds managed to slur together  effortlessly.       eyelids grew  lazy,       lowering,       though he was still looking at sam.                 ‘ ‘       a   connection.       ‘ ‘               he’d   breathe   as he       leaned closer             but,     he found himself still currently   stopped   by the plastic ties that kept his arms bound.               ‘ ‘       you can’t   lie   to me, sammy.       did you  like  the thrill of it  ?       i bet you  like  me as the   psycho.   a       schemer.       ’ ‘               there’s   playful   squirming around in his seat.                   

                             ‘ ‘        crazy     is     obsession     is     passion     is     love.       now,   i know  i- i … i know,  taking-     uh … t-taking your  clothes, might’ve been a bit … c-cruel     …     but,     it’s all in good fun  right ?       RIGHT ??      ’ ‘               arms start   aggressively   moving against the wooden post,   frustration boiling within josh. his eyes flick to look upwards in   concentration,       tongue pressing against the top row of his teeth.           ALMOST GOT IT ??   NO ??   NO.       FUCK !           these   suckers   were going to     call  the  police     on him.       &&       here he thought, sam coming was a       stroke of fortune.         SHE WAS GOING TO LET THEM, WASN’T SHE !?

                             voices by his ears   whispered,       filling him with the ideas that made him       b e l i e v e       that,   truly.       SHE BETRAYS HIM,   DOESN’T SHE ?   it’d be the    “perfect ending”.      not that he could stay   mad.       SHE’S A HORROR MOVIES’     FINAL GIRL,       AS HE INTENDED.       he’s sure they   could’ve   had their moment this past year. there were several opportunities that he   missed       …     but         …   the rules   apply !       the virgin lives,       and the rest   usually   died   some   painful       &&       brutal   death.                                    (   though,   not   literally.   he couldn’t   actually   kill anyone.       AGAIN.       DESPITE WHAT THESE  FUCKERS  BELIEVE !   )

                             ‘ ‘       not like i could       help myself.       ‘ ‘               he practically  whistles,       before   slyly   resting his back against the post . he sends   a look   to the other two, a  sleazy  grin appearing,       &&       a shrug following after.               ‘ ‘       nice view.      ’ ‘               he comments, brows raising  briefly.               ‘ ‘       you should’ve seen it,   bros   !       ’ ‘               laughing  erupts  like a howl from josh,   wriggling   his arms again.       but   a vicious glare   is sent chris’s way. despite what his invitation sounded like,   ( or heavily implied. ),   he’s sure he’d   actually   resort to murder if he found someone looking at sam        ( the way he did. )              

                             ‘ ‘       not that       y-you’re       missing out. being ashley’s  HERO       and all. i’m sure she’s  wet   from all that       BEST FRIEND KILLING       you’ve done.      ’ ‘               his gaze is   immediately   turned back to samantha, more of his energy spent on   her.               ‘ ‘       …   all   i   did-was a little…      okay,     a lot,   of harmless f-fun. so, whaddya say …      l-let’s break this joint      sam   …       sam!        ’ ’               his brows   furrow   together in   impatience,   arms   thrashing   against the wooden post       again,     a       g l a r e       now  thrown at  her,               ‘ ‘       LET ME OUT OF THIS  FUCKING  CHAIR   !       ’ ’                 he  lashed  out, unexpectedly.       his anger   burning   quickly, before it was   blinked   away,       his head   shaking   briefly.   guilt   pooled   into his eyes, as his focus shifts all around the room, in   uncertainty.       visibly growing more   nervous   by the second. more   afraid                        of being   alone.      isolated,   in this very spot.  he   couldn’t   be alone but they were going to   …   to   leave   him out here.     weren’t they ?

Miscellaneous:

WAS  THAT  A  TINGE  OF  GREEN  in her big brown eyes ?  given the confident bravado that courtney sports regularly ,  it was a shock to most that she was incredibly paranoid and insecure .  she projected as a part of her superiority complex in order to compensate for those anxious feelings .  so it takes every inch of her self control not to glare daggers at  SAM GIDDINGS  while she was joking around with josh in a way courtney never could and never would .  it just wasn’t her personality . 

however , getting close with josh’s best friend was  REALLY  important to him ,  and courtney also wanted it for the sake of her blood pressure .  she didn’t  like  constantly being on edge or assuming the worst ,  it was just habit and something she carried with her from a toxic past filled with stress and infidelity .  she had to learn to trust again .  once sam returns to her seat across from courtney as they enjoyed a coffee together and josh made his leave ,  courtney smiles ,  albeit uncomfortably .  ❝  wowwww ,  you two are sooooo . . . ❞   she trails off with clenched teeth ,  grip tightening on her mug .  ❝   --  close !!  ❞
