Double Trouble

*Chapter 1*

The year was 1996. I was a junior at Woodsboro High School. I lived with my mom, my dad and my older brother, Steven. I had a boyfriend, Stu Macher, and I had friends. Everything was great until the police showed up at my front door one night. I was doing my homework in my room and I heard a knock on the front door. I ignored it, figuring my mom would answer it since my dad was at work and my brother wasn't home and after a couple of minutes, I heard my mom open the door and after another minute, I heard my mom scream and burst into tears. I immediately ran out of my room to the door and there was the police. "What's going on?!" I had asked them as I hugged my mom, tightly and fearing the worst. They told me the news I could have never been prepared for. My older brother, Steven Orth, was dead. "Well," the officer started, "We found Steven Orth along with a young blonde and they are both deceased. His driver's license had this address listed as his home." The officer told us. "What do you mean he's dead?!" I yelled at the police. "We're very sorry for your loss and we are doing everything we can to find whoever did this to them but as of right now, we don't have any leads. We do have officers combing the scene for any evidence." The officer told me. I broke down into tears, not wanting to believe it. "No! He's not dead! He can't be!" I yelled through my tears. "We're very sorry."  He said. The next day, I decided to go to school. I had to break the news to my friends and my boyfriend. I was sitting at the fountain my school had in the courtyard with my boyfriend, Stu Macher, my friend, Jade Geller and her boyfriend Billy Loomis and our friend Randy Meeks. "Did you guys hear about Steve and Casey?" I asked them. "No." They all answered. I burst into tears and told them "They're dead. Both of them." "Wait what?!" Stu asked me. "What happened?" Jade asked me. "I don't know! Steve said he was going over to Casey's and then he left. About two and a half hours later, the police came to the house and told us that they were both found dead! The cops don't really have a lead and that's all I know." I said still crying as I rested my head on Stu's shoulder and he put an arm around me. "Why are you here then?" Billy asked me. "If I stay home, all I'm going to do is cry and obsess about finding out who killed them. I needed to be out of the house and with you guys." I said. "Killed?!" Jade exclaimed. "So they were murdered?" Stu asked. "Yeah." I said while sniffling. Then, we heard the bell ring signaling us that it was time for us to head to our first period class. "You gonna be okay?" Jade asked me as she stood up. "Yeah." I whispered as I wiped my eyes and stood up. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and I walked to class, slow. I didn't care if I was late. I was in pain and heartbroken. As long as I had my friends and my boyfriend, I knew that I'd be fine.
