Emma's POV

I finished texting and turned the screen off on my phone, leaning on Will's shoulder. We were all just hanging out at Brooke's place, she had thrown another party and the place had finally cleared out.

"Does anybody need another drink?" Jake stood up, looking around. I handed my cup over along with Will.

"Alright, I'll be right back." Jake said, taking the cups. It was getting really late, I figured in an hour or so we should get out of here.

"I'm gonna be ready to go in an hour.. It's getting really late." I looked up at Will, he nodded and grabbed his cup from Jake.

"Thanks bro." he said, taking a sip.

"Thanks Jake." I said, holding my cup in my hand.

"What is up ya'll?" a guy with the thickest accent ever yelled as he approached the couches. Noah looked at him, waving.

"Hey? Do you go to our school?" Noah asked, settling back into the couch.

"Hell yeah dawg!" he yelled.

"Dude, why the fuck are you so hyper?" Will asked, I could tell he was getting annoyed by his loud voice.

"It's a fucking party dumbass!" he yelled, laughing out loud. Jake and Will stood up, shoving him to the ground.

"You mother fuckers are gonna regret that man..." he said, taking a glance at me. He stared at me, his crystal blue eyes felt like they pierced through me without even touching me.

"What the fuck are you staring at?" Will asked, pulling him by his hoodie.

"Will, calm down." Noah said, standing up.

"Shut up nerd." Jake turned to him, but turned back towards the other guy.

"I think you should listen to your friend... Will.." the guy said, his voice was low and slightly growling. I don't know what it was, but this guy gave me the chills. Since Will had stood up, I decided to sit beside Audrey and Noah. I felt safer here than I did closer to the guy.

"I don't think what I do is any of your fucking.." Will started, but didn't finish.

"You fucker!" Jake said, chasing the guy. Will just stood there, I wasn't sure what was wrong until he fell backwards.

"Oh my fucking god!" I screamed, getting down beside Will.

"I'm alright.." he said, his hand covered in blood.

"Emma.. we gotta get out of here." Will said. I looked back at Noah and Audrey, then looked back at him.

"I'll help him, you and Noah just go find Brooke." Audrey said, putting his arm around her neck.

"Be careful Audrey. We'll try to find Jake too." Noah said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"I'll be fine.. You guys need to be careful." she said, walking Will towards the door. I looked at Noah, shaking. We had to get him somewhere safe, but we had to get Brooke out of this house as long as he was here.

"Brooke?" I asked, walking up the steps.

"Do you think she's in her room?" Noah asked, constantly turning around. We heard a smash come from downstairs, it must've been the back doors.

"Oh fuck.." I said, beating on her bedroom door. It was locked.

"Brooke, please open the door." I half whispered. There was a lot going on downstairs, we could hear fighting and struggling. I was too scared to go down there, and I didn't want Noah going down there and leaving me alone.

"What?" Brooke finally opened the door, making me jump with the movement.

"Brooke, let us in." I said, almost pushing myself through the door. She stopped me from coming in, giving me a dirty look.

"What? There is a crazy fucker in this house. Let me in." I said, still half whispering. If that was him downstairs, which I'm pretty sure it was, then I didn't want him hearing me up here. But Brooke's loud ass music wasn't helping much. She rolled her eyes and let me in.

Jake was in here, his shirt was off and he was laying on the bed.

"Seriously?" I asked, looking at him. He opened his eyes, they got big when he noticed me.

"I lost him.. I think he left." Jake said, but I could tell he was making an excuse.

"Apparently he didn't go very far. I think he's downstairs. You're a great friend Jake." I said. I couldn't believe he chose to come up here and sleep with Brooke instead of making sure that asshole never came back here.

"Wait.. if Jake is up here.. Then who is he fighting down there?" Noah asked, looking at me.

"What in the hell is going on?" Brooke asked.

"Brooke, you stay up here and get on the line with the cops. Me and Jake will head down and see if we can help whatever poor soul is getting attacked by him." Noah said, trying to get more heroic on his end. I knew that he was terrified, just as scared to go down there as I was.

Audrey's POV

I had put Will in my car, but I wasn't leaving without the others. I snuck back into the house, wondering if he was still here. I grabbed a knife from Brooke's counter, holding it close as I prepared to see him. I wanted to make as little noise as possible. I started for the stairs, but got tackled to the ground.

"Nice to see you again bitch." he said, trying to hold my hands down.

"Get the fuck off of me." I said, trying to stab him with the knife. I tried to force it up through his chest or anything, but I wasn't strong enough.

He turned the knife around, starting to send it towards my shoulder. I grunted and fought with all my force to keep it out of my shoulder.

I was able to turn the knife and shove it in his eye, his blood dripped all over me. He fell on me, but I pushed him off. I was half covered in blood, this crazy bastard was dead. Had anybody even thought to call the cops on this crazy bastard?

"Audrey?" Noah's familiar voice came from the steps.

"I'm fine, I got him." I said. My hands were covered in blood, this wasn't something I wanted to get used to.

Noah hugged me, getting some of the blood from my shirt on his. I kept looking at him, something didn't feel right. It slightly felt like he shoved his own face into the knife, but he was dead either way. I don't know why I felt off.

"You sure you're okay?" Noah asked. I nodded, moving my hair to the side. He pulled out his phone, the only one smart enough to dial 911.

"Nobody thought to call that sooner?" I asked, watching Jake climb the stairs.

"No, we weren't sure if it was some kind of prank. I mean, it doesn't seem real. Where's Will?" Noah asked.

Noah's POV

I was so thankful that Audrey was alive, we had made it out of this incident.

"Out in my car, you guys..." she said, stopping suddenly. She put her hands to her shoulder, I saw the end of a knife poking out. It disappeared as he pulled it out.

"Audrey?" I asked, holding her shoulders. I saw that guy's figure grow from behind her, he was much taller than her. She fell into me, she was bleeding bad.

"You son of a bitch!" I screamed, holding on to her. He just stood there, smiling at me. The knife was still sticking out of his fucking eye! How was this possible? How had I not seen him stand up?

I tried to drag her body to the steps, I had to bring her upstairs. I was shaking and my best friend had just been stabbed right in front of me. She was barely going, I can't imagine how that felt.

He let out a loud, cackling laugh in front of me. Pulling out the knife from his own eye. This had to be a prank that Will and Audrey planned, it had to be.

"What in the fuck?" I looked at him, I could only imagine how wide my eyes were. I looked to the top of the steps, Jake ran down and tackled him.

"What in the hell happened?" Emma ran down the steps.

"Oh my god! Will and now Audrey?" she said, crouching down at me. Jake had tackled the guy through the doors, I could hear them struggling outside. My hearing was in and out, I couldn't lose Audrey. Her eyes were closed, but when I felt for a pulse.. she still had one. Her eyes opened a bit, looking around.

"We have to get out of here.. Where's Audrey's car?" Brooke said, trying to look through the door.

"Right outside, come on Noah.. Bring her too. We'll head to the hospital." Emma said, rubbing my back. I nodded my head, tears rolling down my face. I helped Audrey outside, we looked around the yard for any sign of Jake.

"Jake?" Brooke asked, yelling across the yard.

"Are you serious Brooke? There is somebody after us." Emma said, grabbing her arm. I agreed with her, the last thing we needed was him coming back. Brooke just replied by rolling her eyes, she did that a lot.

I pulled Audrey's keys from her pocket, handing them to Emma as we approached her car.

"Emma, go ahead and drive." I said, getting in the back with Will and Audrey. It was hard to get her in a comfortable position, I imagine no matter what she would be in an uncomfortable position.

"Audrey, please stay with us.." I said, observing the blood all over me. This was so fucked up, this situation was just fucked up.

We finally got away from that crazy bastard, how was he still alive? He had a fucking knife lodged in his eye. I was fighting with what I found to be true and excuses to cover up the nonsense that this really was.

Will coughed, knocking me from my mind.

Emma's POV

I sped down the road, I couldn't help but glance back at Audrey and Will. They woke up a couple of minutes after we started driving. I looked in the rear view mirror at headlights approaching us. They were speeding closer than they should have been.

"Emma!" Brooke screamed. I looked in front of us, a person was crossing the road. I swerved to the left, trying to avoid them. I looked to the side, that truck was still speeding. I screamed as it bashed the car. Everything went black around me.
