In the town of Lakewood, it was mid-afternoon. Students were being released from school, parents were leaving work, some were going to work. A yellow taxi cab was driving down the mainroad in Lakewood, the driver took a right turn going into the right side of town. In the back seat was Caleb Roberts, a seventeen year old. His hair was short right above his ears and his bangs spiked up in a quiff looking style. He had medium-dark brown, brown eyes, average skin tone, smooth looking skin, and average pink filled lips. Caleb was wearing a light blue t-shirt, a navy blue jacket and burgundy colored pants with a pair of solid black vans. Caleb also liked guys. He never had a boyfriend though as all the boys said he was too smart, although a lot of guys and girls said he was good-looking. His mom and dad knew the big secret, however his aunt and cousin didn't. Caleb was being driven to his aunt Maggie and cousin Emma's house. He staying with them because his mother had died and in a car crash back in his hometown of San Francisco. His dad divorced his mom a year before the accident, he missed his mom and his dad dearly. They loved him a lot, but that was before the divorce and then his dad wanted nothing of him, that's why he is going to stay with aunt and cousin. Caleb remembers that cursed day when his mom was taken from him, he thought his world would crumble, especially since it was the day he was born.
Flashback: April 7th, 2014
Caleb and his mother, Jennifer Roberts had just gotten done eating at the local pizza place. His mom had taken him since it was his birthday and because he loved pizza. He ordered an all topping pizza which had all the toppings that were available at the restaurant which costed an extra five bucks, but it was worth it. As they got in the car, his mom put the key in the ignition and started the car. Jennifer backed out of the parking space and drove out of the parking lot and away from the pizza place.
"So did you enjoy your pizza?" Mrs. Roberts asked.
"Yes I did, it was delicious." Caleb told his mother.
"Really? All those toppings combined?" His mother asked.
"Yep, it beat your Hawaiian style pizza." Caleb said and chuckled.
"Whatever." His mom said, and smirked. "So where would you like to go next?"
"Hmm...well lets go to Ms. L`a Nora's Spa." Caleb said, smiling. "My treat."
"Why there?" His mother asked him, curious as to what he's up to.
"Its my birthday and I would like to treat you to a relaxing day at the spa." Caleb said.
"Its your birthday, not mine. So do something you would like." His mom said.
"I am, I want to take my mom to get a massage and have all that stress removed." Caleb said.
"Are you sure?" His mom asked.
"Yes. Please." Caleb said.
"Okay then, let's go." His mom said.
Mrs. Roberts came to the red light of the intersection, she stopped. The light turned green and they turned left, but before they could get to the lane, some guy came speeding down the road in a big truck and crashed right into the Roberts' car. The truck's front connected with Jennifer's door, sending the car flipping over twice until it came to a stop beside a streetlight.
"Oh my god! MOM LOOK OUT!" Caleb screamed.
"What?" His mom asked and looked out her window. She saw the truck just as it was a foot a way from the car. She knew they would collide as there would be no time to get away.
"MOM!" Caleb screamed again as the truck hit her side.
"CALEB!" Mrs. Roberts screamed.
The car flipped twice and Caleb could of swore he heard his mom cry out in pain, but he was sent into darkness before he could see what happened.
He awoke in the hospital a few hours later with a horrible pain on the side of his head.
"Oww...what happened?" Caleb said aloud, unaware of anyone else in the room.
"You were in an accident, car crash to be exact. You banged the side of your head against the window, hit it pretty hard too. The side of your head got cut open, needed stitches, lost a lot of blood, paramedics made it just in time." The doctor said. "Luckily you didn't sustain any other injuries."
"My mom, what about my mom?" Caleb said, remembering that his mother was also in the car.
"Mr. Roberts, I'm afraid your mother didn't make it." The doctor said.
"What?! No! You have to be joking, she can't be dead. She just can't." Caleb said, tears streaming from eyes.
"Mr. Roberts, I'm afraid she is. Four of her ribs broke, unfortunately one of the broken rib bones tore into one of her lungs. A lot of her blood ended up flowing into the tore lung and suffocated her from the inside. Its possible that she died within minutes of her lungs being tore. I am very sorry for your loss." The doctor said.
Caleb was balling his eyes out now, he couldn't believe his mother was gone. He didn't understand why she had to be taken from him, especially on his birthday.
"We called your father and told him the news. He told us that when you recovered to send you back to your house and pack any thing you wanted to keep and then have you sent to stay with your aunt Maggie Duval and cousin Emma Duval. He also left you some cash so you could travel there." The doctor said and then left the room.
After Caleb spent five days in the hospital, he was taken back to his house and packed up what he wanted to keep. He was allowed to stay in the house for two more days so he could make sure he had packed everything he was taking and so he could rest up.
"Hey kid." The taxi driver said interrupting Caleb's thoughts.
"Huh?" Caleb asked.
"We're here." The taxi driver said.
"Oh..right. Thanks for the lift." Caleb said, handing the driver the last of his money.
"That's what I'm for." The driver said, smirking.
"Could you give me a few moments, so I can get all my stuff out?" Caleb asked.
"I could help if you want." The driver says. "Free of charge."
"Thanks that would be great." Caleb said.
Caleb and the taxi driver carried his stuff to the porch. Caleb had three suitcases and five boxes. Both of them put everything on the Duval's porch.
"Thanks again." Caleb said.
"No problem. Take care." The taxi driver said.
"Thanks. You too." Caleb said.
The taxi driver got in his car and drove off. Caleb looked at the front door. It looked like the type of door you would see on those houses that have the white picket fences. Caleb knocked on the door. He could hear someone on the other side yell "Coming!" The door opened and their stood his cousin, Emma Duval. She was seventeen years old and had long blonde hair that went past her shoulders. She had green eyes, her skin tone was a little more paler that Caleb's, and her lips were a bit darker than Caleb's too. She was wearing a white button up shirt with a white jacket over it, blue jeans, and a pair of brown boots. Emma's face lit up with a big smile when she saw her cousin. Caleb and Emma grew up together before Caleb moved away. They would always have playdates when they were little. They were inseprarable until the day Caleb's mom and dad took him to San Francisco. He was only able to come on Emma's birthday and on Christmas.
"CALEB! Oh my god! You're here!" Emma said and engulfing Caleb in a big hug.
"Em..ma..can't..breathe." Caleb stuttered out.
"Oh I'm so sorry, its just I've missed you so much. How are you doing?" Emma asked, with a hand on Caleb's shoulder.
"Good, as long as know else asks me that." Caleb says.
"Oh, oh! Right, I'm sorry. That was rude of me." Emma says.
"Nah, its okay." Caleb says, putting a hand on Emma's shoulder.
"Are you sure?" Emma asks.
"Positive." Caleb says, putting on a smile. The truth was that he actually wasn't okay. He had already arrived and started feeling weird.
"Okay, so how about we bring your stuff inside?" Emma asks.
"That would be great." Caleb says.
He and Emma began grabbing box by box until all of Caleb's luggage was inside. Caleb was just bringing his last suitcase inside. When he heard someone scream his name.
"CALEB! You're here! Its so great to see you again." Maggie Duval says, as she and Caleb hugged. Maggie Duval was thirty-seven years old and had long blonde hair that went to her shoulders, but not an inch past them. She had blue eyes and wore glasses, her skin tone was a bit tanner than Caleb's, and her lip shade was close to Caleb's as well. She was wearing a black t-shirt, a navy-blue jacket with blue jeans and a pair of black flats.
"Aunt Maggie! Hi, its so great to be back. I've missed coming to visit." Caleb says.
"How are you feeling? You know with..." Maggie says, her voice trailing at the loss of her sister.
"I was okay, until I was asked that question." Caleb says.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." Maggie says.
"Nah, I'm okay. No need to worry." Caleb says.
"That's good." Emma says, wrapping an arm around her cousin.
"Oh speaking of good, I baked cookies. Come on!" Maggie says.
"Oh that's right, come on Caleb." Emma says.
"Ooooh cookies!" Caleb says, grinning like a little boy about open a Christmas present.
They get to the kitchen and Caleb sees a plate of chocolate cookies on the table. Caleb grabbed two of them as did Emma and Maggie.
"Oooh! Chocolate chip! My favorite." Caleb says, grinning. "Thanks Aunt Maggie, Emma."
"Your welcome, Caleb." Maggie says.
"No problem." Emma says.
The three sat at the table enjoying the cookies, when realization dawned on Caleb as he remembered that Maggie and Emma still didn't know that he was gay.
"Oh, uh, there's something I need to tell you both." Caleb says.
"What it is?" Emma asks.
"Well, um...please don't hate me because of it...but..I'm..gay." Caleb says, nervously.
"Aw Caleb, there's nothing wrong with that. No matter who you are or what you become, I will love you just the same. You will always be my nephew." Maggie says.
"Yeah Caleb, I don't care if you're gay. You're still my cousin, the amazing boy I grew up. You will always be my cousin, my best friend, no matter what." Emma says.
Maggie looked at Emma when she said that. "You will always be my cousin." Maggie knew the both of them deserved to know her secret, but she didn't know how to tell them.
"Thanks guys, I don't know what I'd do without you both." Caleb says and smiles.
"Your welcome sweetie." Maggie says.
"No problem. Besides whoever your boyfriend will be, I'll have to give them a talk. Wait you are single right?" Emma asks her cousin who's smirking.
"Yeah I am and I'll allow you giving my future boyfriend a talk. That goes the same for Aunt Maggie." Caleb says and laughs.
Emma and Maggie laugh too and they hug him.
"I guess I'll have to won't I?" Maggie asks.
"Mhmm." Caleb says.
The three of them laugh again.
"Oh mom, what about school?" Emma asks.
"Don't worry about that either, I already had him enrolled earlier today. He will be going to school with you tomorrow. As a matter of fact, there's a few bags of school supplies upstairs in your room." Maggie says.
"Thanks Aunt Maggie, your the best." Caleb says.
"Your welcome." Maggie says, smiling.
"Hey what about me?" Emma asks, with fake jealousy.
"Oh don't worry your the best too." Caleb says.
"I know." Emma says.
The three of them laugh.
"Lets get your stuff up to your room." Maggie says.
A bit later, Caleb, Emma, and Maggie have moved Caleb's suitcases and boxes up to his room. Maggie had went to bed early, Emma had went to go finish some homework and Caleb finished unpacking his room.
"Wow, the room looks great." Emma says from the doorway.
"Oh thanks." Caleb says, standing in the center of the room admiring the work. "Its kinda of bare but we'll get more things later on to fill it up nicely."
"Yeah we definitely will." Emma says. Both of them laugh.
"You know, I've missed this." Caleb says, sitting down on his bed.
"Missed what?" Emma asked, walking in and sitting down beside him.
"Us, what we used to be. Play-dates, secret handshakes, the good ole days." Caleb says.
"We still have that. We'll always be cousins, but best friends even more." Emma says, wrapping an arm around Caleb.
Suddenly both of them bump fists, clap their hands, cross their arms and shake hands, thumb war while high fiving then they hug.
"You remember!" Caleb and Emma say in unison.
"I could never forget our secret handshake." Caleb says.
"I couldn't either." Emma says.
Caleb smiles and a tear rolls down his cheek.
"What's wrong?" Emma asks.
"Nothing's wrong. I just love you so much! I can't lose you or Aunt Maggie. You two are all I have left." Caleb says.
"Aww, Caleb. You're not gonna lose me or Aunt Maggie." Emma says and hugs Caleb. Caleb hugs her back.
Emma yawns. "I'm gonna go to bed, I'm getting tired."
"Okay, I'm gonna get ready to go to bed as well." Caleb says.
"Yeah, you better. Tomorrow's you're first day of school." Emma says.
"I know." Caleb says and groans, but then chuckles afterwards. Emma chuckles too.
Emma gets up and walks to the door. "Okay, good night." She says from the door.
"Good night." Caleb says to his cousin, who then closes the door on her way out.
Caleb then goes over to his closet and pulls out a gray pajama shirt that has long blue sleeves and a pair of blue and black plaid pajama pants. He changes into them and goes and turns off the light. He climbs into bed and pulls the cover over him and drifts to sleep.
Somewhere else in the town of Lakewood; sixteen year old, Nina Patterson was getting out of her boyfriend Tyler O'Neill's car. Nina had strawberry-blonde hair and brown eyes, same skin tone as Caleb, and the same shade of lip color as Emma. Nina was wearing a white v-neck tank top, a black jacket, white pants and black heels. A dog barks and makes Nina gasp.
"Hi, baby! Oh, yes. The love of my life. Come on." Nina says to her dog.
A cellphone beeps.
"Music on." Nina says to her phone.
Some pop music starts playing. Nina walks down the hallway, taking her jacket off along the way. She gets to her room and starts changing into a bathing suit. She puts on a pink robe. Her dog whines.
"Aw, you want to come in the hot tub with me, don't you, Sage? You can't go in the hot tub. That would be gross." Nina says.
Her cellphone chimes. "Aw, you want to come in the hot tub with me, don't you, Sage?" Nina watches as her phone plays back her talking to her dog and changing into the bathing suit. Nina looks around and her phone beeps again. She looks at it and sees their a message from Tyler O'Neill. The message reads "How does it feel to be the star of the show?"
Nina looks around again and notices that her laptop is open and the webcam is recording. She walks to her laptop and shuts it. "Tyler, you are skating on restraining order lake." Nina says aloud.
Her cellphone chimes chimes again. She sees another message from Tyler O'Neill. The message reads "Am I on thin ice?
Nina walks out of her room and down the hall to the door, saying "Tyler! I swear to God, if you are in my house, you are dead! Sage is a trained attack Pomeranian, and she will gut you on command!" Nina says saying it loud. Nina's dog barks. Nina opens the door and walks outside.
Her cellphone chimes again. She sees a playback of her opening the door and walking outside. Nina gasps and turns around.
Her cellphone chimes. Another message from Tyler, it reads "Well maybe you'll get more views than Audrey's video."
Nina walks back in and closes the door. "Well, maybe you should grow up! And when you do, I'll be outside!" She walks to a glass door and opens it up. Her dog whimpers.
"No. Stay inside." Nina says to her dog. She walks out and the lights come on.
Her cellphone beeps. "Outdoor speakers on." Nina says. Pop music starts playing. She walks to the hot tub and sticks her legs in. She looks back at the glass doors.
"Tyler?" Nina calls out. She gets her phone and texts "Was that you?" to Tyler.
Her cellphone beeps. A message from Tyler appears. It reads "Maybe. Is this where it gets interesting."
"I may have underestimated you." Nina says aloud, while texting it to Tyler. She stands up from the hot tub and takes her robe off. She gets into the hot tub and sits down.
Her phone chimes. Message from Tyler, which reads "You're killing me."
"Then get over here and do something about it." She texts while saying it aloud. Nina relaxes in the hot tub.
Her cellphone chimes, but she doesn't hear it. Message from Tyler, which reads "Heads up." Something splashes into the water which gets Nina attention. She sees Tyler's decapitated head floating in the water. Nina screams as his head turns over so his face is seen. She grabs her phone and runs from the hot tub. She runs behind a tree and taps her phone screen. Nina wipes the screen on her arm.
"Oh, my God." Nina whispers.
Her cellphone beeps. "Call 911." Nina says to her phone.
Her cellphone beeps. A female's voice is heard. "Calling pottery barn."
Nina runs to the glass doors. "Help! Help! Somebody, please help!" She screams. Her dog barking. "Please!" She pleads. The killer slices into Nina's back.
"AHHHH!" Nina screams, as she falls to the ground. She gets up and runs towards the pool. She falls again, but continues to crawl away. The killer walks up behind the crawling girl and picks her up. "Oh, God! No! No, please!" She cries.
The killer slices her throat open and throws her into the pool. Her phone starts ringing, 'MOM' is calling. Blood forms around Nina's corpse in the pool. A white mask is seen.
