LOVE

"Hi Dad" Aurelia says into the phone

"Aura, hi, thank god youre okay what happened" Matt asks worryingly to the girl

"We- well Wes was attacked by ghostface, they said they couldnt find the killer after we left" The girl briefly tells her father  hoping not to worry him

"Is he okay?"  He says nervously pacing around his office parking lot

"Yeah, hes gonna be fine" She says holding back tears looking into the hospital room

"Are you okay? Mentally i mean" He replies softly knowing how much Wes meant to her

"I'm good, no one died everythings okay" She faked to her dad not wanting to distract him from his work

"You know, when Judy called me all i wanted to do was be there for you" Matt starts "They wouldnt let me leave early though, but Aura just know that its okay to feel scared thats not a bad thing. I'm sorry if i havent been that open with you about my emotions but i need you to know that feeling scared or upset or even feeling perfectly fine is okay" He says, hoping she would tell him the truth

"I know dad, and youve been the best dad anyone could ask for so dont even start" She says wiping her tears as a laugh escapes her lips

"Aura, are you okay?" He asks her once again hoping she would tell him the truth

"Yeah, i'm okay i promise"

"Hey" Lia says softly to Wes after he woke up from surgery

"Hi" he replies tiredly

"How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?" She asks, if she could she would take all of his pain and give it to herself

She hated herself for getting in the house too late. It was her fault he was in here. It was her fault he was hurt. She promised herself and Judy she wouldnt let anything happen to him and now he came back from surgery after a stab wound that was her fault

"I'm better. No pain for now i promise" He says with a faint smile "How are you? How's your face?" he asks noticing the stitches

"Its good cant even feel it anymore" She laughs out to the boy

"I'm going to kill whoever this psycho son of a bitch is" Wes starts "And if Sams right and it is someone in the group then we have an advantage, we'd see the bruises" He tells the girl already coming up with theories of who it could be in his head

"Wes im so sorry, if i got there even a bit earlier you wouldnt have been hurt im sorry" She says holding his hand getting her guilt off her chest 

"Dont. Dont you dare apologise for something you had no part in okay? We just need to be more prepared next time okay? Thats it." He says in attempts to make the girl feel better

"Wes did you. Did you mean what you said before-" Lia asks the boy before getting cut off mentally cursing herself for not asking earlier

"Hey! Theres my man!" Chad says as the twins walk in "How you doing big guy" he says while Wes and Aurelia share tight lipped smile knowing they were going to carry this conversation after everyone left

"I'm okay, i'm living we defeated Ghostface again" Wes says laughing around with the jock

"Taras worried for you guys so call her when you have the time okay?" he tells the pair sitting down next to them
