Chapter 11
Emma was sitting there thinking that she should take Audrey's hand and make it clear to Gina that Audrey wasn't free. Emma really wanted to do it but realised that it wasn't her place, she didn't know if Audrey liked this girl. Though she had a feeling Audrey didn't since she looked like she was stuck in one of those torture coffin things with spike in each direction. Audrey was so stiff and wouldn't budge it was like she'd turned into stone.
For a second Emma considered Audrey was seeing Gina but she hadn't known about it and that was why she acted so strangely… and why she reacted that way about the kiss. Emma's heart broke a little at the thought.
Now that she considered this avenue Emma couldn't wait for the movie to be over so she could get away.
After a while the movie finally ended both Emma and Audrey shot up at the same time ready to leave. They quickly glanced at each other in surprise then turned to leave the aisle. Gina looked up in surprise then quickly moved out of the way.
From the side Noah and Brook looked at their two friends who seemed to be in a hurry to leave. They both had a mischievous smile, "you two are shameless," said Stavo from Brook's side and shook his head with a smile.
Noah went to see Gina who seemed confused, "I thought you said she was single," Gina said to Noah.
"She is," he answered her.
"Doesn't look like it," she said pointing toward where Emma was.
"Sorry," Noah said half-heartedly.
"You don't seem sorry," she said with a small smile.
Noah was in a way sorry he wasted Gina's time but at the same time this might be what Emma needed to figure out things and he wanted his best friend to be happy. If Noah knew one thing is that Emma would make Audrey extremely happy if she reciprocated her feelings.
"No I really am sorry I wasted your time but I'm also happy for the development there," he said pointing toward the theatre's exit door where moments ago Audrey and Emma went through.
Outside Emma and Audrey were walking toward their separate cars when Brook stopped them, "hey guys wait up," she said trying to catch up with them. "Do you guys want to go for coffee?" she asked with a large smile.
"I've to do som—"
"I need to go—"
Both Emma and Audrey started speaking at the same time. Brook looked at them with that look the meant, I don't know what's going on but I think I like it. "Oookay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" She said and left with a smile.
Emma and Audrey glanced at each other then quickly went their separate ways. They drove away in their own cars.
The drive home was very strange for Audrey, her heart was pounding hard in her chest and she could feel adrenaline heighten her senses. She wanted to turn the car around and go to Emma's to straighten things out but she had the feeling Emma wouldn't be in the mood. "Damn it!" she said and slammed her hand down on the steering wheel.
5 minutes away from Audrey's place Emma was pulling over in her driveway, "really, are you serious?" she said out loud in annoyance. She walked up to her door and was about to enter when she stopped herself. "Screw this," she said and went back to her car. Emma drove straight to Audrey's house and she did so in anger. Emma parked her vehicle aggressively in Audrey driveway, she was glad to see her car was there and she hoped to god she was alone because she was angry enough as it was. Emma knew her anger wasn't rational; she didn't have any real reasons to be angry. Audrey hadn't done anything wrong but jealousy would make people act irrationally.
Audrey was sitting on her bed with her finger hovering over Emma's name. She was debating calling her, eventually she made up her mind and decided to text her instead, 'can we talk?' She texted. She was startled when her door flew open.
"Yes we can," Emma said roughly and was satisfied at the sight of Audrey's reaction. Audrey jumped to her feet with her hands up in front of her in a stop I surrender kind of way.
Audrey could feel the anger coming from Emma. Somehow she understood why Emma was angry even though she really hadn't done anything wrong. "I didn't… I don't," she tried to explain but she was stammering nervously. "It wasn't…" Audrey was lost she didn't really know what to say.
Emma came in ready to argue with Audrey but seeing Audrey at a lost for words washed all the anger away and brought that loving feeling back. Obviously Audrey had been uncomfortable with Gina's presence because she thought Emma would get the wrong idea…which she did. Audrey's struggle was almost amusing and Emma started to approach Audrey.
Audrey was a little worried when Emma started walking toward her. She knew how Emma could be when angry, she had felt it earlier this year and she really wasn't interested in feeling it again. "Okay, okay, wait a second," she said while walking around Emma, changing position so she now had her back toward the door instead of the window; instinctively getting closer to an exit route. Emma followed Audrey's movement and closed the distance. Audrey's breath caught she wanted to tell Emma so many things at once that nothing was coming out.
"Gina?" she said like a question. All Audrey was able to do was shake her head and that was all Emma needed. She kissed Audrey, yet again and this time she wasn't letting her back out without them talking.
When Emma's lips touched Audrey's she tensed; she really wasn't expecting it. Then quicker then Audrey wanted Emma pulled away.
"I want this," she said to convince Audrey not to back away like she'd done before. "It's not guilt… It's what I want." She said.
Emma was close to Audrey still; the words she was saying were like the sweetest words Audrey's ever heard. Her heart filled up with a bundle of emotion; happiness, excitement and the most distinctive one… Love. Audrey took Emma's face in her hands and kissed her. This kiss lasted a while this time and when it did end no one felt strange. It felt like the most natural thing and Emma it also felt natural when Emma asked to stay the night. They both settled in Audrey's bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Emma was at her house she needed to tell Audrey something before she lost her courage so she quickly called her. Emma felt like the phone was ringing forever until Audrey answered. Before Audrey could say anything Emma cut her off, "I need to tell you something before I convince myself not to... I love you and I have for a long time but just hadn't realized it. I want to be with you." She said with conviction.
She waited for a response, Emma heard something on the other end of the receiver, "well this is awkward." The voice said, it wasn't Audrey but the voice was familiar and the sound of it sent a scary chill up Emma's spine. "This one is going to be more fun than I thought." The killer's voice said with a sinister laugh then the phone went dead.
Emma stared straight ahead dumbfounded, her phone slipped through her hand and crashed to the floor
Emma woke with a start, she had cold sweat covering her body and she was hyperventilating. "Audrey," she whispered and bolted out of her bed. Emma was confused she couldn't tell what was reality and what wasn't. Then Emma realized she wasn't in her room she was in Audrey's. A movement cought her attention, someone shot up from the bed and went straight to her. Emma had the instinct to fight that person but quickly realized it was the only person who could make her feel better.
"Emma, what's wrong," Audrey was concerned; she took her arms softly and got closer. "Emma you're safe, I've got you," she said to reassure her though the only thing that actually reassured Emma at this moment was feeling Audrey's hands on her arms. This simple contact grounded her to reality and she knew what was real.
Emma let herself fall in Audrey's arms in relief. "Do you want to talk about it?" Audrey asked softly.
"I dreamt that I told you 'I love you'," she said with a soft chuckle. Emma felt Audrey tense.
Emma's words scared Audrey, not because she wasn't ready to hear those three words but because Emma had a nightmare about it. Now Audrey feared Emma was having second thoughts and her subconscious was trying to tell her.
"I called you to tell you but it wasn't you that answered," she said to explain, knowing that Audrey was thinking the worst. "He did, he had you." She added this time her body had a tremor.
"I'm right here," Audrey whispered.
"I do you know," Emma said in Audrey's embrace.
Audrey wasn't sure what Emma meant but Emma clarified.
"I do love you," she said.
Audrey smiled even though Emma couldn't see it, "you already know how I feel about you but I can say it again if you want." Audrey said.
"You want to show me instead?" Emma asked.
Audrey didn't answer with words but with actions and she would continue showing her forever or as long as she wanted her to.
The End.
PLEASE READ: Sorry it took so long to update this story, I've been working on another Scream FanFic where I'm writing what I would like to see in season 3. I hope you enjoyed the ending to this story… Yes this was the last chapter but if you enjoyed this story I strongly suggest you check out "The Nightmare Never Ends" which is, like I mentioned before; my hopes for season 3. This new story will come in a little while because I'm going to try and make each chapter longer then the ones I've done so far. Please be patient with me. "The Nightmare Never Ends" will be detached from this story, it's going to follow season 2's ending and it's final Halloween Special.
Thank you to all of you that commented on this story I have to admit that without comments it's hard to stay motivated and continue writing. So again thank you to all that supported this story. I hope to hear from you in my next project.
