Welcome to Jealousy! This story is based on after Scream 4 when Gale and Dewey are still married, Sidney is alive, and everything is just swell…for now! Everyone is now living in Woodsboro where it all began! I appreciate constructive criticism but please don't be rude. Enjoy!
Dewey P.O.V.
I sighed inwardly as Gale continued her rant on the store not having her size in a new pair of red heels. I ran a hand through my hair before saying "Gale please don't worry about the shoes…"
She twirled around to face me with a dark scowl before saying "Don't worry about the shoes?" She huffed and said "I really wanted the shoes" as I dragged her out of the store. As we walked down the streets of Woodsboro I couldn't help but let my mind drift to our past here.
The murders, the sick and twisted killers, the ghost face mask, everything just seems like a blur to me…an all too familiar blur. Gale gently squeezed my hand as she held onto it before whispering "Thinking about it again?" I nodded numbly but continued walking without another word.
As we walked towards the police department I saw Sidney standing near the door with a torn look on her face. "Hey Sid!" I called to her causing her to look in our direction. A small smile lit up her features as she said "Hey Dewey, hey Gale." Gale smiled back and said "How have you been?"
She half heartedly smiled back and said "I have been better honestly…apparently there has been another death…" My eyes widened in shock and a small amount of fear as I said "Another killing?" Gale's eyes widened as she squeezed my hand even tighter than before.
How could there even be another killer? All of the options had been taken into consideration! "Sid maybe it's not the same kind of killer…maybe its something else." She shook her head and said "Dewey…he was stabbed." I shook my head before walking into the station.
Gale held onto my arm and Sidney followed close behind us as I walked over to Deputy Judy Hicks. She smiled warmly towards me and said "Dewey." She then glared hard at Gale before saying lowly "Gale…" Gale barely acknowledged her presence and said "Mhm."
I just shook my head and said "Deputy what are the details of this murder victim? Are there any witnesses?" She nodded before handing me a file which Gale read over my shoulder. Apparently it was a boy around the age of 24 who attended the same college as Sid. He was stabbed four times in the chest and on the wall of the small apartment building that he lived in was the words 'What's your favorite scary movie?'
I shuddered at the memory of those words as Gale said "Wait…I knew him! He auditioned to be my camera man when I first started out." This couldn't have possibly been a coincidence…could it? I looked back at Sid and said "Who is possibly left that would want to go after you?"
Judy looked directly at me and then glanced at Gale before saying "Maybe the killer isn't after Sid this time…" The gears in my head began to turn as I whispered "Gale…" Her eyes widened in fear as she said "A killer? After ME?" I sighed heavily before turning and asking Sidney "What do you think Sid?" She shook her head and sighed before saying "It seems like it…but I could be wrong!"
Gale grabbed my arm and said "I thought this was all over!" I shook my head and said "I won't let anything happen to you Gale…you mean the world to me." She gave me a weak smile before saying "You are my world too Dewey it's just I don't understand why a killer would be after me!" Sid sighed and said "Jealousy maybe?" Judy nodded and said "But who would kill over being jealous of Gale?"
The way she said her name made my insides cringe a little. She said it with so much hatred and anger but she hid it with fake wariness and nervousness for the situation. I looked at her curiously before saying "No matter what Gale I will protect you…nobody will hurt you as long as I'm around." She smiled and gently kissed my cheek before saying "I guess I know how you feel Sid…" She shook her head and said "Just wait."
I grabbed the folder and said "Let's go back to our house…Sid you should come too." She nodded numbly as Gale, Sid, and I walked back to our house in an uncomfortable silence. Due to our recent discoveries everyone was a little tense especially Gale. I mean she was always on the other side of it mostly but now this killer was based fully on her it seemed.
When we arrived back at our house something felt off. It didn't feel right being there. I looked between Gale and Sid before whispering "It feels…different." Gale nodded slowly as we walked into the house and looked around. Out of nowhere the phone rang and the shrillness of the tone made all three of us jump.
Gale ran over to answer it with a sigh of relief and said "Gale Weathers?" Her eyes widened in fear as she said dryly "Who is this? Is this some fucking kind of a sick joke?" I titled my head in curiosity as she slammed the phone down and whispered "It was that voice…and he asked me what my favorite scary movie is…" My eyes widened along with Sidney's as tears slowly streamed down Gale's face.
"Of all of the times for this to be happening…why now?" Gale said while rubbing her hands over her face trying to wipe away her tears. I walked over to her and pulled her into my arms before whispering in her ear "I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure you are safe."
