A/N: Hey guys, just wanted to say happy Halloween! And I hope you enjoy the chapter. Stay safe.

Violet's Pov:

I still didn't know why we had to do this. It was the middle of December for crying out loud. But I still found myself and Clem walking up the steps to Louis's house.

Back when I had been put in the hospital I had missed Halloween. My friends had still come to visit and had brought me some candy, but it still hadn't been the same as dressing up and hanging out with my friends. I still had pictures on my phone from previous years when we'd all dress up and Louis would throw these ridiculous Halloween parties. Don't get me wrong, they were loads of fun. But Louis would always fail at trying to scare everyone. If Louis was one thing, it wasn't scary.

But I guess I should be thankful for that, considering I hated horror. I hated to admit it, but I was a big scaredy-cat when it came to horror. I had been scarred in third grade by watching a Goosebumps movie in class. I'd been afraid to walk around my own house after watching it. So now I didn't enjoy watching horror or anything scary. Which is weird considering that I used to live with the devil.

But now I was faced with a problem. Louis had invited me and Clem over to watch scary movies since I had missed out on Halloween. But I guess I shouldn't be too concerned considering Louis was terrible at being scary. What's the worst he could pull out?

My only fear was Clem finding out about my fear of scary movies. I didn't want her to think any less of me for it. I already seemed like a coward around Minnie except for the last time we met. I didn't want Clem thinking I was even more pathetic than I already was by not being able to handle a movie.

I know she'd still love me, but I was embarrassed. I was afraid of a movie, something that wasn't even real. I just hoped that whatever we watched wouldn't give me nightmares about dead guys trying to suck the blood out of people or anything. I can still hear the voice of the characters in the Goosebumps movie saying how hungry they were. And a chill ran up my spine. I felt like we were being watched now.

I latched on to Clementine's hand, which she didn't think anything if it. She just thought that I wanted to hold her hand. But truthfully I was terrified of what was to come.

AJ had wanted to come with us, but Clem had said that this party was only for big kids. I had felt bad for him because of how disappointed he had been, but I was honestly glad that he wasn't here. I think the movies would have been way too scary for the little guy. Especially if they scared me.

The front door opened but no one was there. Then all of a sudden BAM! Louis pops out from behind the door in a red and black cape and some fake, white plastic fangs. "Welcome to my haunted house party!" He said in a lame Transylvania voice.

I, however, wasn't amused and just rolled my eyes at his accent. "What? Too much?" He asked.

I responded by giving him a playful punch to the shoulder. "Ow! Okay! Okay! I'll quit it."

I smiled knowing I had succeeded in getting him to stop, but my eyes grew wide once I entered the house. Louis had decorated the entire inside to be Halloween themed. Paper skeletons hung from the walls. He had a cauldron filled with different types of candy. Louis even had a carved jack o lantern sitting on the table with a light in it. Orange lights outlined the windows and plastic spiders were spread out on the table.

"Surprised huh?" Louis smiled, proud of himself.

"This is amazing Louis," Clem said awestruck at the decorations set up.

"Figured I go all out since our sweet Vi here missed out on Halloween. And look Vi, I got your favorites." Louis pulled out a plain Hershey bar from the cauldron of candy along with some white chocolate Kit Kat's and a box of nerds. Well, at least he got one thing right. I was still worried about the movie though.

"Alright dudets, let's kick this party into overdrive!" Louis exclaims.

"What'd you have in mind?" Clem asks.

Louis smirks behind his fake fangs and grabs a movie case. "Behold...Jeepers Creepers 2!"

I think I turned as white as a ghost as the color drains from my face. I know this movie and let's just say I don't have very fond memories of it. Clem however seems totally intrigued.

"Awesome! I love this movie." She says excitedly.

"Hell yeah!" Louis replies. "Let's grab some snacks and pop it in."

He goes over to the DVD player by the TV and pops open the case and puts the disc in. The TV turns on and the previews start to play. We grab the bowl of candy and a couple of sodas and place them on the coffee table. I and Clem take a seat on the couch and Louis sits in an armchair next to us.

The previews play through and we come to the main menu. My heart is beating fast as Louis presses play. The movie hasn't even started and I was already scared.

Throughout the movie, I try to focus on the snacks that we have in front of us, but nothing can fully distract me from the suspenseful music playing on screen. My heart sticks in my throat as some creature posses as a scarecrow and launches at a little boy and takes him away.

And later I feel sick to my stomach when I see a boy with bloody gashes going across his stomach and chest and a big one on his head. He's trying to warn the bus, but his attempts fail. And I feel my heart rate elevate when the bus breaks down for the second time. I'm so scared for the people on the bus.

My anxiety only gets worse as the daylight turns to dark in the movie. Not to mention that it was growing dark outside. Nothing but the TV and the orange lights illuminate the room now.

On-screen we get glimpses of this creature flying over the bus and I feel myself tense. The girl has a vision and I see a kid with no eyes. I want to cuddle closer into Clem, I want her to hold me. But I'm worried that she'll feel me jump if I'm too close to her.

Everyone is huddled up on this bus and the creature leaves long scratches in the roof of the bus scaring the kids. I hear the long scraping and I try to refrain from covering my eyes with my hands. I don't want to look like a little kid peeking through my fingers, but I'm really scared right now as I wonder which person will fall victim to this creature next. It already got the teachers.

It attacks the bus again and I jump. Which Clem takes notice in. She smiles at me and pats the spot in front of her. "Come here, babe."

I don't want to seem like somethings wrong so I go and lay down in front of her and Clem wraps her arm around me, spooning me. I'm thankful for the comfort but I'm still as tense as a bowstring. I don't want to see the monster's creepy face again.

Lucky me I get jump scared again when the monster attacks. Clem feels me jump and her grip on me tightens. I don't notice it at first but I start shaking. I don't want to see any more people die and I'm at the edge already.

Clem can feel me quivering though. "Everything alright, Vi?" She whispers to me.

I shake my head. No, everything is not alright. I can't help it as I feel tears gather in my eyes. I'm trying to hold it together but I'm so scared right now. I just want this movie to end.

Tears start to stream down my face. They drip off and some land on Clem's hand. That's when she realizes that something is very wrong. "Vi?"

I sit up and my whole face glistens with tears in the TV light. "Baby what's wrong?" I get asked.

And that's when I lose it. I start full-on crying. I can see Clem's worried look through the tears. "Violet, talk to me babe. What's wrong?"

I make grabby hands towards her and Clem brings me in for a hug. I let myself cry into her shoulder. My whole body is shaking as sob after sob escapes me. "Baby what's the matter." She asks me again. Then I hear screams come from the TV and I shake even harder. And I think Clem pieces it together. "Is it the movie?"

I nod into her shoulder.

"Louis turn the movie off." I hear Clem tell him. Then I hear the eerie sounds of the movie stop.

I slowly lift my head from Clementine's shoulder and peer around. The lights are back on and the TV is off. Then my eyes connect with Clem's and I can see the concerned look on her face. "Violet, are you okay?"

She and Louis are both staring at me and now I'm uncomfortable. I just ruined the night. I blush hard. I'm really embarrassed now. And I begin to cry again.

"Violet, baby, it's okay. You were scared of the movie, right?" Clem asks me.

I look at her and nod, but my face is bright red. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I couldn't hide the truth anymore. I was scared. I didn't want some creature to swoop down and eat me.

"Hey, it's okay," Clem reassures me. "You don't need to be embarrassed Vi. It's okay to be afraid."

I look into Clem's eyes and see only sincerity. "Come here." She says and she brings me in for a hug. She starts to rub my back reassuringly. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay."

I nod and remove my glasses so I can wipe the tears from my eyes. Clem pulls back and looks at me, but I look down at my lap in embarrassment. "Baby, why didn't you tell us you were scared?"

I pull out my phone and type a response. "You were excited to watch it and I didn't want you to laugh at me if you knew I was scared."

"Violet, we wouldn't laugh at you. We understand if you're afraid of scary movies. All you have to do is tell us." Clem explains.

I look up and mouth out the word, "Really?" I'm actually surprised at how understanding there being. I would have thought they would have hated me for ruining the Halloween movie party. Especially since the two of them were so excited to watch it.

"Of course Vi," Louis says. "This is your night after all. If you don't want to watch Jeepers Creepers 2 then we don't have to."

"And besides, you matter way more to us than some scary movie," Clem adds.

I sniffle and wipe my eyes one last time before I mouth out the words, "Thank you." I'm so relieved that I don't have to sit through any more of that movie. Though I have to say, I'm wondering how it ended. But I'm in no rush to find out. No way was I going to finish watching it. I've had enough of creatures hunting down and killing people for food.

"How about this?" Louis suggested. "Why don't you go grab some more snacks from the kitchen and I'll pop in a new movie for us. How does The Nightmare Before Christmas sound?"

I smiled at Louis and gave him a thumbs up for my approval.

While Louis switched the discs I went to go to the kitchen for more snacks, but I stopped. The kitchen was dark and it seemed like a long way away. I looked back at Clem and she sees my hesitation. "I'll come with you."

She grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen. There she turns on the lights and the kitchen lights up. "See nothing to be afraid of." She reassures me. Then Clem goes and opens the fridge. "Okay, let's see what we've got. Hey, check it out!" And she pulls out a big tub of caramel. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" She asks me.

Next thing you know we're seated back in the living room eating caramel apple slices and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. A movie I can definitely get along with.

We're about a quarter of the way into the movie when I realize that I need to use the bathroom. But just like the kitchen, I'm afraid to leave the safety of my friends. So I sign to Clem that I need to use the restroom.

She puts down her soda and nods. "You want me to come with you?"

I blush a little and nod. But Clem is totally understanding. "Sure thing babe. Louis pause the movie will be right back."

Clem walks me to the bathroom and turns on the light for me. "See, nothing scary." But she notices how I look at my shoes. "What's wrong, Vi?"

So I sign to her. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I get asked.

"For being afraid."

"Aww, babe. You don't need to be sorry. It's okay. It happens. And don't worry." Clem grabs my hand. "I'll stay with you as long as you need me."

I give her a shy smile to show that I'm thankful. And I go ahead and use the bathroom. Then we walk back and finish watching the movie, but not before I give Clem a peck on the cheek as a way to say thank you for her help.

I cuddle up to Clem this time and allow her to spoon me once more. And this time I'm no longer afraid of what will happen and I get to enjoy the Disney film and the feeling of Clem's arms around me. So overall it ended up being a pretty good night, and I had my wonderful girlfriend to thank for that. And I guess I a little part of Louis to thank for it as well.
