If I can't have you no one should

Prologue (kinda)

Amber's pov:

Ding!
I hear my phone ring as I'm brushing my hair.
-"let's see what we got here"
I say as I pick my phone up to check my notifications. I've got a few, some from Tinder, some from Reddit, but the only one that really matters is the one from Tara.

-"Dude I think Wes just asked me out 🫤
What do I do??"

The text read. I scuff.
-"Jesus Christ seriously Wes? I knew you liked her but god damn"
I mumble to myself as I think of a response.

-"oh god Wes? Ugh poor lover boy 😔"
-"so what do I do??"
-"well there's a simple question you gotta answer first"
-"which issss"
-"we'll do you like Wes ofc 😂"

I smile a bit. There's no way Tara likes Wes back, he's not her type.

-"well...idk honestly it might be worth giving him a shot I mean right?🧐"

I feel my heart sink a bit.
-"excuse me!?"
I scuff in disbelief.

-"wrongo, you just gotta let him down easy I mean... do you REALLY wanna be sheriff Judy's daughter in law 😬"
-"omg ewww yeah no I can do without 🤢"
-"exactly. Wes is sweet and all but he's not boyfriend material yk?"
-"yeah your probably right, thanks Am"
-"any time Tara, yk I'm always looking out for you :)"
-"Ik 🥰 anyways I'm probably gonna call it a night, I love youuu 😘😘"
-"love you too sweetie nighttt😚🥰"

-"well that should just about do it"
I say as I lean back in my chair. I mean I'm happy Tara's not going out with Wes but that doesn't mean my chances of getting with her have increased any..

Ding!
I check my phone again. Hmm looks like it's from that Stab message board I joined last week. It's just some dude replying to my thoughts on the franchise, seems like he agrees.

-"OMG definitelyyy the film makers don't care about us at all! Those last three movies were just insulting!"

I laugh a bit. He really understands.

-"LITERALLY! Like is it really so bad to care about something?"
-"exactly like for a lot of people these movies were what started their love of horror movies! But no people just ridicule slasher films and their fandoms like we're some kinda joke"

I'm so glad there's someone out there who doesn't look down on slasher films, Tara would've already been talking about how Hereditary is sooo much better. She's way more into elevated horror but honestly give me a good slasher film any day.

-"hey think we can talk privately? I'd love to hear more about your views"

Hmm...honestly this probably isn't a good idea to continue talking to this random guy but whatever, what's the worst that could happen? I laugh a bit, Mindy would be telling me if this was a horror movie I would've already jinxed myself by thinking that. I create a private message board and me and him continue talking.

-"so what's your name anyways cutie?"

He asks.

-"not even gonna ask my age? And your just gonna call me cute without seeing what I look like? 😂"

I reply with a slight laugh.

-"oh shit valid points. Whatcha look like?"

I send him a pic off my insta.

-"looks like I was right to call ya a cutie 😉 so what's your age/name?"
-"my name's Amber, I'm 16. Hbu?"
-"damn, young, intelligent and beautiful...I'm smitten 😵‍💫 my names Richie Kirsch, I'm 22"
-"oohh smitten? Looks like I have a gentlemen on my hands 🤭"
-"ah so I see you don't care about age? 😏"
-"as they say it's just a number right? 😏"

We soon start talking about horror movies again.

-"yk what...we should make our own movie"

He texts.

-"hmm ya mean like direct?"
-"something like that..."
-"care to elaborate?"
-"I think the real issue with the Stab movies is that their running out of ideas, I mean the 5th one has time travel which is absolutely terrible"
-"true"
-"the first 3 we're based off of real life Sidney Prescott and are easily the BEST movies in the series so...what if we gave Hollywood some more real life inspo?"
-"and how do you propose we'd do that?"
-"I don't live too far from Woodsboro and it's almost the 25 year anniversary of the first Woodsboro killings, care to have some fun?"

I'm gonna regret this aren't I...

-"well actually...I live in Woodsboro in fact I live in the old Macher family house"
-"woah no shit?"
-"mhm! I also happen to have the perfect villain for our movie..."
-"oh? I'm listening"
-"what if I told you Billy Loomis had a daughter?"
-"😱"
-"her names Samantha Carpenter, she's a bitch. I say if we're gonna do this we should do it right, I even know Randy Meeks niece and nephew"

Fuck. Why would I say that? Yeah Sam's a bitch who abandoned Tara but- actually you know what? Fuck it. She abandoned Tara she doesn't deserve to live OR be the hero of this story. Yeah I feel a bit bad for throwing Mindy and Chad under the bus but hey who says their gonna die? They just gotta be apart of it in some way.

-"oh Amber...I think I'm gonna like you 😏"
-"I think we'll be good partners but if your serious about this there's just one person I need gone"
-"sure anything my love 🤷🏼‍♂️"
-"yk Judy Hicks from the third movie?"
-"hmm yeah I believe so 🤔"
-"she's got a son named Wes...I kinda need him out of the picture for...personal reasons"
-"oh I do believe we can make that work, this is gonna be the best requile of all time 😈"

A/N
(945 words)
So basically in this "chapter" I wanted to set up the plot. Amber likes Tara but is too afraid to tell her especially since Wes also likes Tara. Amber meets Richie who she teams up with and eventually starts dating while she and him strive to make the perfect Stab movie. I know this isn't the strongest start but believe me it'll get better
