CHAPTER EIGHT
The party was already in full swing by the Tatum and Sydney had arrived, dumping the food on the counter before walking into the living room and sitting next to Randy on the couch.
"Have you seen Indie?" Sydney asked the horror movie loving boy.
"Her and Stu went upstairs about half an hour ago. Haven't come downstairs since." Randy wiggled his eyebrows.
Ten minutes later, the two teenagers eventually made their way back to the party, still unable to keep their hands off each other. They disappeared into the kitchen and reappeared a couple of minutes later, each with a beer in hand. Stu sat down on an armchair before pulling his girlfriend down onto his lap and whispering in her ear.
"How many 'Evil Dead?' One? Two? How many 'Hellraiser?'" Randy asked the group that had gathered to watch horror movies.
"Hellraiser right here." Stu teased, tickling his girlfriend and chuckling when she squirmed.
"The Fog, Terror Train, Prom Night. How come Jamie Lee Curtis is in all of these movies?" Sydney asked, flicking through the DVDs.
"She's the Scream Queen!" Randy announced.
"Tits." Indie said bluntly.
The doorbell rang and Indie noticed her sister jump. Stu slid his girlfriend off his lap as he got up to answer the door.
"I'll get it. Hey Tate, grab another beer will ya? There's beer in the garage." He asked as he noticed the girl had also finished her beer.
Jamie Lee Curtis was still the topic of conversation by the time Stu walked back in. However, the mood soured a bit when Deputy Riley and Gale Weathers walked into the room.
"Dewey?" Tatum stared at her brother, embarrassed that he was here, then she noticed Gale. "What is she doing here?" Tatum spat.
"She's with me." Dewey said, pride on his face and Indie tried not to smile. "I'm just checking things out."
"So you did. Now leave and take your media mouth with you." Tatum hissed, hating the woman for the shit she caused for the Prescott's. Unfortunately, the other girls at the party thought she was awesome and crowded around her.
"Have you found my father?" Sydney asked once she saw Dewey.
"I'm afraid not." Dewey replied gravely.
"Should we be worried?" Indie asked, stepping into the conversation.
"Not yet."
Nine o'clock came around quicker than expected and soon Stu was ushering people out of the house. The only ones left were Indie, Sydney (who was waiting for Tatum) and Randy.
"TATUM! Come on! Do you know where she is?" Sydney called, wanting to get back to her house on time.
"BOO!" Billy yelled, coming up behind Sydney and Stu, scaring both of them. Indie who had seen him coming, tried to hide her laughter. However, Stu noticed the smirk on her face and ran after his girlfriend, catching her in the kitchen and tickling her sides until she apologised.
"Oh Billy, Hey!" Sydney greeted.
"Billy. What are you doing here?" Stu asked.
"I was hoping to talk to Sidney alone."
"You know if Tatum sees you she'll draw blood." Sydney warned.
"You know, why don't you guys go up to my parents bedroom? So you guys can talk, whatever." Stu offered. "My room is off limits though." Stu winked at Billy before wrapping his arm around Indie's shoulders, who elbowed him in the gut.
"Subtlety Stu, you should look it up." Billy teased.
"No it's okay we need to talk." Sydney came to her sister's boyfriend's rescue.
As the ex-couple walked past the new couple, Billy whacked Stu on the head causing him to pout. Indie 'kissed it better' per his request.
"What's leatherface doing here?" Randy finally got off the couch.
"He came to make up." Stu said bluntly.
"There goes my chance with Syd. Damn it."
"As if, that's all I'm going to say, as if." Stu chuckled.
"As if?" I'm going to check on them."
"Do whatever you want. Just stay out of my room." Stu warned before dragging Indie up the stairs, grabbing her arse.
The young couple walked back downstairs afterwards and saw that Randy and a couple of guys were still watching Jamie Lee Curtis horror movies. Stu and Indie sat back in the armchair they were in before and listened to Randy ramble on about rules.
"There are certain rules you must abide by in order to
successfully survive a horror movie. For instance. #1 you can never have sex. Big no-no Big no-no." Randy advised causing most of the teens in the room to let out moans of disappointment.
"We'd be so dead then." Stu chuckled to Indie.
"Sex equals death okay? #2 you can never drink or do drugs. This is sin. It's an extension of number 1. #3 never, never, ever under any circumstances do you ever say 'I'll be right back' cause you won't be back." Randy continued.
"I'm getting another beer you want one?" Stu asked, making Randy stop his rant.
"Yeah sure."
"I'll be right back!" Stu teased, kissing Indie on the top of her head before leaving the room.
"Ooooo!" Everyone joked.
"You push the laws and you end up dead. I'll see you in the kitchen with a knife."
