Sitting with Randy, I saw Tatum come through the door with Sid in tow "Sid" I shouted walking up to her Sid threw her arms around me "Where have you been?" she asked hurriedly I shrugged impassively "I took a walk."

Sid's eyes softened she knew that talking a walk meant stopping by the local cemetery where our mother lay 6 feet under.

My sister pulled back and looked me up and down with a smile on her face "Wow you look great" I felt happy at my sister's compliment I knew my outfit was cute, but it was always nice to get affirmation from my literal other half.

I smiled looking at what she was wearing Sid was always predictably plain, "and you look... like you, but that's okay because I like you" Sid smiled at me brightly as I said that it had been a long time since I'd ever admitted I liked her.

"Have you been drinking Kat?" Sid joked as we stood talking to each other more amicably than we have since our mom died, we got along fine, but I was a lot colder, and she was more emotional than before last year.

Grinning I pulled her into the kitchen where Stu is funneling beer into the mouth of an already drunk Garrett as Tatum scoffs sitting on the counter with her legs crossed "Oh that's mature" Stu turns to her and shrugs "Your tardy for the party, so we started without you."

Tatum looks pissed that everyone had gotten her before her and were already having a great time "Oh, my man" Stu bro-hugged with Garrett when he finished his chug swaying as he stood tall knocking me over into Stu who caught me with a laugh.

Seeing me in Stu's arms Garrett cheered "Head cheerleader nice one Macher!" moving out of Stu's arms, who was still laughing at his drunken team member, I rolled my eyes as Tatum let out a small hiss behind me.

Pouring myself a drink I playfully pushed Garrett who stumbled out of the kitchen along with Tatum who forcefully pulled Stu into a kiss before turning around strutting away with narrowed eyes as my sister following behind like a little lamb.

"I think I'm gonna go home" I announced as Stu's head shot up worried "What why, you can't go," I sighed standing closer to him, "I can't be here knowing what we did, what we are and not killing her for that." I muttered offhandedly with a sigh as my head spun.

I wasn't actually going to kill her, she didn't even know anything had happened between us, so I couldn't be mad, but I couldn't stay here and watch her drape herself all over Stu now that we've committed ourselves to each other.

Stu put his arms around my shoulders and tucked me under his chin "Don't worry, she won't be a problem soon" moving my head back I raised an eyebrow at his vague response "I'm gonna tell her I don't want to be with her and she'll leave" he explained to me seeing my expression.

I nodded slowly wondering if that's how it'll really go down; Sooner or later she'll find out about us especially if she sees us together at school "is that before or after she tries to maim me?" I laughed, placing my arms around his waist.

Stu glanced around and leaned to down to kiss me softly before patting me on the butt and walking off becoming the fun host once more, seeing Tatum cuddle up to Stu while schmoozing with the others like some Stepford wife had me boiling.

I sighed and took a shot of tequila before grabbing myself another beer from the fridge and walking into the living room, I saw Sid and Tatum sat on one sofa with Stu who was plainly ignoring whatever Tatum was talking about.

His face changed as he watched me sit on the two-seater drinking my beer while Peter, a guy from school, was trying to flirt with me which mostly consisted of me ignoring his stupid pick up lines.

I gave Stu a subtle wink as Tatum struggled to get his attention "Stu. Stu!" he turned to her, but she just huffed and turned to talk to my sister, I laughed making him look at me with a shit-eating grin.

Randy stood up with videos in his hands and addressed the room, "How many Evil Dead? One? Two?" Randy was counting who wanted what film "How many Hellraiser?" I raised my hand along with Stu and a couple of others.

"Hellraiser right here," Stu called out as I laughed at how childish he sounded. Sidney picked up the rest of the films "The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night. How come Jamie Lee Curtis is in all of these movies?".

Randy shook his head in disappointment at my sister's lack of horror knowledge "Tits" I told her with a smirk as Stu leaned forward to high five me causing Tatum to scoff and hit him.

"She's the Scream Queen!" Randy exclaimed as if it was common knowledge "With a set of lungs like that she should be" Stu shouted allowed making Tatum huff annoyed "Tits, see?" she said half smiling at me, but I couldn't smile back knowing soon she'd have her heart broken because of me.

The doorbell rang out along with a small banging noise bringing me out of my guilty thoughts, "Hey Kat, can you get that?" Stu asked softly while subtlety motioning in Tatum's direction, nodding I realized he was going to talk to Tatum "sure."

Getting up off my seat, I passed my beer to Randy who was trying and failing to sweet talk my sister who looked like she was bored out of her mind but also looking for someone.

I'm guessing she's waiting for Billy to turn up, she knows if Stu and I plan a party Billy isn't far behind us.

Opening the door, I came face to face with Dewey and fucking Gale Weathers whose smile had dropped off her face seeing me, and she took a subtle step behind Dewey "What the fuck are you doing here?" I shouted angrily stepping back as Dewey and Gale walked in like they owned the place.

"Hey you're that chick from top story" Stu exclaimed suddenly standing next to me with an arm around my shoulder like he was trying to keep me reined in, my punching Gale had made the rounds, but there was little evidence to back it up.

I glanced around but failed to see Tatum. I thought she would have kicked up some drama after Stu told her that he was splitting up with her but by the look of it either he hasn't told her or she's being the bigger person.

"Your underage son.." Dewey said taking a beer of Garrett before laughing and giving it back ".. I'm kidding have a good time" he joked around like he was trying to be cool, but it came off desperate.

Gale moved around the room talking to people and smiling as they fawned over her like she was a major celebrity "Dewey?" I called beckoning him over to the corner, pissed that he brought Gale here.

"What is she doin' here?" I fumed pointing to the she-devil who was laughing it up with my friends "She's with me" He told me excitedly, and I couldn't help but notice he was blushing "I'm just checking things out."

"So, you did. Now leave and take your media mouth with you" I told him forcefully I couldn't handle being around Gale even if Dewey had a crush on her, the older Riley sibling was like a big brother to Sidney and me, but it was all a bit too much right now.

After everything Gale had written about my mother, albeit mostly true, I didn't want her around my sister and I. She was utterly toxic but for some reason Dewey sees something in her he likes, I just hope she wasn't using him.
