the space between them is too obvious,  only a foot gap yet it feels like a mile.   agreeing to watch a movie with her felt like a good idea in theory,  but now,  all tai can think about is how much more comfortable it'd be to have the other girl in her arms,  or even just for their legs to brush,  their hands to meet ---  anything that would remind tai she isn't just imagining mikayla here with her now.  she shouldn't be thinking about it at all;  they're keeping their distance from each other for their own reasons,  yet when they're together,  it's so easy to brush them off in her own head,  leaving her to wonder now why they can't just allow themselves the comfort of one another.  

@notvictims, "you keep staring at me instead of watching the film. what's up?"

if tai isn't afraid to call mikayla out on these moments,  she should always expect the same from mikayla  ---  and yet,  she's still annoyed when mikayla speaks,  because it means that she hadn't done a good job of keeping her cool  (  despite the fact that she hadn't even noticed just how distracted she was by mikayla.  )   her eyes roll and she quickly turns her head back to the tv,  arms crossing over her chest to make herself smaller in her space on the couch.   ❝  you are so full of yourself,  ❞   she mumbles slowly in deflection,   a smile tugging at her lips a moment later before she finally allows herself to glance back over to her.  ❝  i'm not.  i wasn't.   i just wanted to see if you were into it, ❞  she lies,   her eyes turning back to the tv once again,  suddenly realizing she has absolutely no idea what's going on in the movie.

@notvictims said, “ i can’t sleep.”

seeing tara at the foot of her bed is both relieving and nerve-racking  —-   she’s happy that tara has finally come to her when she’s struggling,  but she hates that whatever’s on her mind now is keeping her from that rest.   it seems the only good thing to come from the latest massacre is that tara is finally willing to open up,   sam hopes,   and she’ll take that.   without saying anything,   she reaches over,   bringing the blanket up and offering the space next to her up to her little sister.   ❝ yeah,  it’s not happening for me either,  ❞   she admits,   turning on her side to look at her.   ❝  do you want to talk about it?  ❞   she can’t count how many times she’s said that in the past year,  hoping that tara might finally allow herself to let it all out;   this time,  she’s slightly more hopeful,  but she’s still willing to back off like she promised if tara isn’t ready.

maybe we shouldn’t meet.   dir. drew goddard.      morgan has been single for 6 months, and decides that there wouldn’t be any harm in trying out the dating apps her friends have told her so much about. soon after it’s downloaded, morgan starts talking to matt, a charismatic and charming doctor who’s profile seems too good to be true. after a strange and uncomfortable message from matt, morgan decides that the app isn’t really for her. she cancels their plans to meet, and deletes the app. one week after they stop talking, she begins to receive flowers and gifts with ominous messages, all unsigned. then come the phone calls and texts, before morgan begins to see matt everywhere- she realizes that he intends to get her back, alive or dead. now the only thing she can do is survive. why does dating have to be so hard?     @notvictim​.

jordan riley  ,  you already are something. you always were. and you still have time to be.

                  ‘ bullshit! ’ single word reverberates loudly off of the walls, down the hall until it fades, but the anger behind it lingers between them. john bender has never been someone. all of the adults, all of his peers, they’ve taken every opportunity to tell him so. he would never make it anywhere, let alone out of high school. they said he’d be flipping burgers, dealing drugs ; he’d be just like his father ( no one knows that that’s his biggest fear ). fire filled eyes move toward jordan. where once softness lingered, fury burned instead. he knows he’s going to say something he’ll regret, but he can’t close his mouth.

‘ you think you know me so well, just ‘cause i held your hand and let you whine about your problems? ’ his voice is too loud, his tone too intense. a boy who has never porperly learned to contain or control his emotions, ready to explode. ‘ you don’t know shit, shakespeare. you can go ahead and stay in your own fuckin’ fantasy world and pretend like peace is the answer. i’m doin’ what needs to be done, ’ fighting for himself and his team and some kind of honor that he would never get anywhere else. his breathing his shallow, john barely blinking as he stands in front of jordan. ‘ silver’s th’only person who’s ever given a shit about me. so i suggest you stay away from me and cobra kai, ’ and the next words are ones john would come to hate himself for. ‘ or else you’re gonna regret it, ’     @notvictim​.

@notvictim​:            i just wanna poke my head in real quick and say, i love your dedication to sam and how much you've fleshed her out in such a short period of time. you really take the reader and plop them into her shoes and beautifully illustrate the environment she grew up in and how it's shaped her, and expand so effortlessly on what the movie gave us. that's such a talent to have and i really admire that and am glad to have you on my dash ❤︎

inbox content:            kind messages.

aaaaaaaaah this is such a surprising message to get but very very appreciated! especially from you, i really admire your account and you as a writer. thank you so much; i’ve been so enjoying writing sam as a muse and i can only hope i’m doing her justice.

                   grease covered hands work hard against the engine, john’s face scrunching a bit in concentration. he’s always been good with cars, but he’s learned a lot since starting at the garage. more than that, he’s found a home here. he found safety. finally, it seemed like john bender was on the right track. he was still trying to come to terms with the fact that maybe he was good enough to have all of these good things. it’s a learning process, still, after years of being treated like dirt, but john thought he was getting there ; slowly but surly.

he only looks up when the door opens, arm lifting to wipe sweat from his brow before eyes light up at jordan’s entrance. they always did, didn’t they? the moment his heart stopped pounding at the sight of her was the moment bender knew he was dead. ‘ well if it isn’t my very own shakespeare, ’ smirk is set on his lips, john wiping his hands clean before reaching out to put them on her waist. man sits on the edge of the car, looking over jordan’s features with a softness most would not expect to see on his face. ‘ and to what do i owe this pleasure? thought you’d be studyin’ like th’smartass you are, ’     @notvictim.

tai can't seem to figure mikayla out, and that's both incredibly frustrating and exciting all at the same time. she's tried to keep everyone at a distance ever since returning, attempted to craft the perfect persona for herself here at school, but she can't shake the way mikayla distracts her in a way that she is desperate to figure out yet doesn't want to get too deep with. because when something is good, when something feels right, it's inevitably going to crash and burn -- and she is trying so hard not to go there again.

@notvictims said, ❝ i don’t want you to leave. ❞

she was leaned forward, eyes on her shoes, ready to leave from mikayla's place because that's what she was supposed to do, but her words make her freeze, and she slowly looks back to mikayla, debating it in her head for a moment. she starts to smile, leaning back next to her instead. ❝  okay. ❞ she should, because any more time spent with her could lead her down a path she shouldn't go down, but she's greedy now, ignoring the way her mind clutters with what could go wrong, instead focused entirely on her. ❝  i don't want to leave, anyway. ❞

“ Oh for heaven’s sake, it wasn’t that good of a kiss, anyway. ”

             CUT TO : post -  ‘ That Party ’  /  ‘ That Kiss ’  ( If you know you know, you know? )  Everyone’s in agreement though that things were like ... fine three days ago, right? Leads properly getting along, filming moving smoothly, Johnny only getting annoyed at crew members mildly for hitting him in the back of the head with the boom  ( and he didn’t call anyone names ... the second time )  , wrapping early on Friday for a nice, long weekend -- all good, everyone’s happy. Now it’s Monday again, they haven’t spoken since Friday night, and one can just imagine what that means for when they see each other on set ...

              Johnny steps out of his trailer on the studio lot, dressed and holding his shoulder holster costume piece in one hand. He pulls the door closed behind him and starts to walk toward the soundstage, just as he sees Jordan come out of her own trailer, costume and all. He slips the leather holster over one shoulder, then the other, before he angles his head down slightly, sunglasses slipping down his nose just so he can look over the frames at her. And ... they make eye contact  ( only a tiny bit awkward )  but she doesn’t keep walking -- just looks at the ground for a second. If this is her being shy or something ... it’s damn cute, that’s for sure. 

              Excuse the slight half-smile as he quickly catches up to her, just in time for them to walk to the soundstage ... together.  ( This ... weird tension could totally be worse ... right? )  “ So ... Nice weekend? ”  It’s his attempt at a normal conversation for a few seconds before he inevitably brings up the elephant in the room  ( doesn’t matter that they’re outside )  . Because he has to bring it up ; something like that happens they can’t just not talk about it! And the little back-and-forth that follows pretty quickly devolves into exactly what everyone else could have guessed it would. It started with a  “ you know, we should probably talk about it ”  from Johnny and it didn’t get better from there. And then, just as they’re reaching the soundstage -- Camera rolling? Sound speeding?  ( Action! )  ‘ Oh, for heaven’s sake, it wasn’t that good of a kiss anyway! ’  ( Print! )

              Whoa, whoa, whoa! His footsteps halt and he turns to look down at her, making a face.  “ Seriously? ”  Now, he takes off his sunglasses, for the dramatic effect, and rests one hand on his hip.  “ That was totally a winning performance from me and it wasn’t  ‘ that good ’  ? ”  He scoffs and rolls his eyes.  ( Diva, much? )  ‘ Exactly! Performance! We’re actors. We were acting! ’  You know, he might be inclined to agree with her there -- they were playing the part of the happy couple, the young couple totally head over heels for each other ... for about two seconds. Come on, he can’t be alone in feeling like it just turned into something else after that.  “ I’ve won Best Onscreen Kiss before -- ”  His brows pull in toward one another and he smirks slightly, leaning down toward her.  “ -- No one’s that good. ”

                   flash lightens the wall around jordan, jonathan catching candids of the cast for the yearbook. though he wasn’t one for extracurricular activities, jordan had convinced him to do it, and had convinced the editor to take jonathan on, too. he takes one more when she realizes he’s there, smile small on his lips as he lowers the camera to look at her. ‘i’ve got plenty of shots of you on stage. everyone should see behind the scenes, too, don’t you think?’

is this how the dying prey feels as vultures circle above it? she’s tried everything  —  sneaking out back doors, wearing obnoxiously large sunglasses that block her face ... flipping the bird to ruin their photographs. nobody wants to take a goddamn hint around here, or maybe they just don’t give a shit. sure, sam’s a mourning friend, a victim of the latest woodsboro tragedy, that’s all old news. 

they want the scoop from b.illy l.oomis’ daughter  —  they want to know how it felt to enter the house where her father’s legacy began, who she'd want to play her in stab 9 ... what it felt like to take richie kirsch’s life  —  to stab and stab again until she slit his throat like a pig.

sam clutches her keys too tightly; the flash of her headlights sends the waiting reporters into a frenzy. they surround the empty vehicle, knowing that their final girl will emerge any moment. oh, just a comment samantha  —  just a moment of your time.

“just a couple times”  she admits. sam lowers her sunglasses; there will be no going anywhere for her anytime soon, lest she indulge the anticipatory crowd and let them flock her.  “they’re smarter than they look. every time i try to ditch these assholes, they track me down again. it’s like the grossest gum you’ve ever stepped in.”  

it’s moments like this (when the lurking predators want to swallow her whole, envelop her in the dark that is the worst night of her life) that sam wonders if she really will be okay one day.
