That very late evening, Amber arrived in Woodsboro at her parents' home, where they had dinner and lots of conversation together before she went up to her room to rest and fall asleep.
The next morning.
POV AMBER:
I was so happy to have been able to chat with my parents last night, i really missed them and by their reaction when they saw me, i think that they missed me a lot too. I'm glad because in general they're not very affectionate, we don't talk much and then I see them very, very rarely because of their jobs, they're never around... The main reason I came wasn't just because I had to pick up few things or because i missed them, but because I had to have a discussion with Dewey about Stu and Tatum, and about Ghostface. He's lived in fear of dying for most of his life, and I need his advice to get better... Especially with what happened with Sam yesterday.
I felt like I could have killed her, I was able to do it, i'm sure of this... I felt a sensation of power, adrenaline, the desire to do harm as someone had done to me ... I feel like i've become someone else, someone who's capable of a kind of violence that's beyond measure ...
Anyway, today I need to see Dewey and talk with him, so I'm sending him a message, even though I'm stressed.
Me to Dewey:
Hey Dewey, how are you? I'm in Woodsboro, can we meet later today?
I've worked up the courage to send him this message, hoping he'll be available, normally yes since I'd already spoken to him about it, but well, you never know.
He replies directly.
Dewey to me:
Great Amber and you, how are you going?! We can meet in front of the police station around 1pm if you want ! Or 6pm, your choice. I'm glad you arrived safely
I automatically smile at that message, it sounds so sweet, so "protective"
Me to Dewey:
I'll be there at 1pm :)
I'm going to shower and get dressed, I need to be at least potable to talk with him, it's still important.
While I'm showering, I get a call from Mindy.
"Hello Mindy, ? I'm in the shower" I say
"I've already got you naked Freeman I don't care!!!" She says
"What do you want?" I ask her
"I want you to put your camera up so I can see you... GRRRR" She says laughing
"MINDY" I shout
"No, actually I wanted to know if you have anything planned for Tara's birthday on Monday?" She asks
"I wanted to do it at my place, is that okay?" I ask
"Should we tell Quinn and Anika to come?" She asks me
"If you think it's cool yes" I say
"Chad and Ethan too" She says
"Not Ethan wtf Mindy" I say.
"Why??" She asks me
"I don't know him I don't want him in my house" I answer
"You're afraid he'll steal your sweetheart ,your lover, your life, your baby, your pookie, your soulmate, your horse, your-" She says before I hang up on her.
Mindy is really unbearable when she gets down to it. And no, I'm not afraid of him stealing Tara from me, it's not a little prick like that with his badly curled hair who's going to steal my girlfriend from me.
I get out of the shower, have a quick chat with Tara and Quinn on message, and then get dressed. It's already almost 1 p.m., so I hurry to get to Dewey.
When I get to the police station, he's already there. I arrive in front of him and he gives me a little hug. I wasn't expecting it at all, but it makes me happy.
"Are you okay Amber? it's good to see you" He says smiling and holding my shoulders.
"Yes, I'm great," I say.
"Come on, let's have lunch, at the pizzeria down the street." He says
I follow him to the pizzeria, we chat on the way, then sit down at a table.
"How are you feeling?" He asks me
"Now in New York or since what happened?" I ask
"Both, I want to know how you're doing" He says
"In New York it's going well, and then otherwise I think it can go.. and you?" I ask
"I'm always okay, you should know it!" He says laughing and giving me a big smile, "With Tara..how is it going?" He asks
"It's fine, we had some problems... but it's better now, FINALLY" I say, smiling.
We chat for a while, order some food and he insists on paying for both of us.
He knows very well why I wanted to see him and he knows about what I wanted to talk about, but I get the impression that we're both uncomfortable and embarrassed to have to talk about it. Anyway, he's basically my uncle, I know he doesn't see me as his niece, that's normal, but I don't know what kind of relationship I should have with him or just if he just wants me in his life.
"Dewey?" I say as I take a bite.
He looks at me, eating like a child, really making me laugh.
"Can you tell me about Tatum?" I say.
He grins then sets down his slice of pizza.
"Of course Amber, my little sister is an extraordinary person. I know you probably don't think so, since you were adopted, but the only reason she did what she did was because, at the time, things weren't right... She found out she was pregnant some time before the first attack... From Billy and Stu. She almost lost the baby, you know, because of all that. It's a miracle she's still alive after all those stab wounds she took, lucky she managed to get out through that cat flap," he says, looking at me.
I can understand how complicated it was to keep a child in that kind of condition. I can totally understand that, but why didn't she try to get back in touch with me? Why did she never come back to see me?
"Do you think one day she'll want to see me?" I ask
"I'm sure she will" he says
"Have you talked to her about all this?" I ask
"Of the attack yes but without lying to you... I haven't dared tell her about you yet" he says scratching his head. "I hope you're not angry with me" he says
"Not at all, Dewey I'm not mad at you" I say smiling
"Gale is going to live in New York, and she asked me to come with her. I don't know what to do, I'm talking to you because now you're part of my life and I want to be able to see you so it would be nice if I could go with her but I'm going to have to give up my job" he says
He keeps talking but I'm not listening to him, I can't hear a word he's saying. He's just told me that i'm a part of his life and that he wants to spend time with me. I'm holding back tears, even my own father never said anything like that to me, NEVER. I can't thank God enough for putting Dewey in my path.
"It would be great if you went with her.... And then you'll find work there for sure," I say, smiling and biting my bottom lip to keep from crying because I'm moved. "But I understand that it's a complicated choice, it's normal, you've always lived here" I say, smiling.
"You know Amber" He says, rubbing his forehead, "Except for Gale and now you, I had nothing left to tie me to Woodsboro, I should have even left this town a long time ago, if you know what I mean" He says, laughing
"Clearly..." I say
We chat for at least another hour before he has to get back to work. I promised him I'd come and say goodbye before going back to New York tomorrow, we hugged and then I went home. He wants to be part of my life, he's made it clear that he wants to make up for all the time we've lost, and to be honest nothing can make me happier than that right now, I've even forgotten about my altercation with Sam yesterday. I can't wait to tell Tara about our chat, really, I'm sure she'll be really happy for me.
I get home and spend the whole afternoon and evening with my parents before calling Tara to put us to sleep on the phone, she sounded a bit off, like she was thinking about lots of other things at the same time and when I asked her if anything was bothering her, she said no, and that she's just tired because of the move.
--
THE NEXT EVENING
I returned to New York, and took the time to say good-bye to Dewey as promised before leaving.
Tomorrow is Tara's birthday, and I want it to be perfect, to be one of the best birthdays of her entire life. I want her to feel lucky to have me in her life.
I send her a message to let her know I'm home and she replies that she's coming to see me and that she'll be here in 30 minutes.
I quickly pack up the things I've brought with me, tidy up the living room a bit and she arrives at the same time. She comes straight in.
"Hey," she says, coming over to give me a hug.
I waste no time and kiss her directly, I've spent so much time away from her, it's no longer possible for me not to be close to her.
"We need to talk about something" she tells me, pulling back from our embrace.
No. No. No. No. No. I can't take this kind of talk anymore, I have bad memories of it, traumas. Every time we've had this kind of discussion it's because she's broken up with me or done something serious.
"Tell me now," I say, stepping back from her and glaring
"Amber, it's nothing serious... calm down baby" She says grabbing my hand
"Then why are you saying it like that Tara you know you can't say that... you know that I..." I start to say
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell you that your talk with Sam the other day eased tensions" She starts to say grabbing my other hand as well "But I have a question to ask you, what's all this craziness with the knife?" She asks me
I was sure Sam was going to tell her... So now it's either I'm lying or I'm being honest. I'm all for honesty in our relationship and I think if we keep lying to each other, especially about nothing, we'll never get out of it... We've already been through so much together.
"I don't know," I say as I go to sit on the couch and pull her with me to sit next to me. "She started "threatening" me with it then she dropped it and I got it back" I say looking her in the eyes
"But why did she do that... You know I can't understand her anymore..." Tara says
"That's not the worst of it Tara" I say
"What??? What did she do to you!?" She says, squeezing my hand
"It's more what I did... I mean what I felt." I say, looking away
"You can tell me anything, you know Amber... im here" She says
"Tara when I had the knife I felt so good ,I felt safe, I wasn't afraid of anything and I knew it was her who feared me.... Since Liv and Richie I've never felt like that, I've always lived in fear and now I feel like... that I can scare other people. It's weird to say, but that's how I feel," I say, looking at her.
"Scare other people?" She asks
"The feeling of power, of strength. I don't want to scare you by saying this, it's really not my aim I just want to explain what I felt but...-" I start to say, but she cuts me off by putting her hand over my mouth
"You'll never scare me Amber" She says smiling, "I'm glad you're talking to me about how you feel, really, and I wish you'd do that every time.... You know you can talk to me, I'll never judge you, no matter what you do" She says as she removes her hand from my mouth and strokes my cheek.
I place my lips on hers, she puts her hands behind my neck and moves closer to kiss me.
"Can you stay with me tonight?" I ask, placing kisses on her neck
"Is that really a question?" She asks, smiling and starting to kiss me again.
I put one of my hands on her waist and rocked on top of her, continuing to kiss her. They're fleeting kisses, it's been a very long time since it happened, a VERY VERY long time, and the way things turned out, we both missed it and both craved it
"I missed you..." Tara says as she tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear and takes a jerky breath.
"I miss you too T" I say as I lay her down fully on the sofa and straddle her.
She tucks one of her hands into my shirt and strokes my back, then her other hand into my hair.
"Do you want it...?" She asks, and I smile and kiss her.
She really doesn't need to ask me this kind of question. My actions speak for themselves.
SMUT🫦
I straighten up and take off my t-shirt, I don't have a bra underneath, so she has my breasts on display in front of her. She starts touching and titillating them, biting her lip. She's wearing a shirt - well, wearing one, since I'm unbuttoning the buttons one by one and taking them off. She straightens up so that I can remove her shirt and bra at the same time.
I kiss her breasts one by one, starting with the left and then the right. She moans and squeezes my buttock and presses against my face with her other hand. I kiss every part of her body to which I have access, her cheeks, her neck, her breasts, her belly. She starts to unbutton her jeans, and I help her by lowering her jeans and black lace panties straight down. I can't help but smile.
"Why are you wearing panties like this one?" I ask, whispering in her ear.
"For you" She says as she grabs the back of my neck and kisses me.
I take off her pants and panties completely, then stroke her thighs, then her inner thighs, before landing at her vagina. I move up to kiss her,
"may I?" I ask
"it's yours, Amber" she responds with a moan and taking my hand to place it on her private area
"Tell me what you want... i can do whatever you want" I ask into her ear, causing her to shiver.
"I just want you to touch me Amber...." She says, moving her hips.
I start caressing her gently, she tightens her thighs around my hand and bites her lip. I straighten up to feel more comfortable caressing her but above all to observe her body, she's so beautiful, she has a perfect body, without any flaw, I'm so lucky to have her all to myself.
"You're so beautiful Tara, it's crazy to be gorgeous like this, really" I say, dropping kisses all over her belly, all over her waist, making her tickle. I reach down and nibble her thighs, continuing to caress her, then start dropping kisses around her intimacy. She relaxes immediately and spreads her thighs, giving me free access to the whole of her body. I know what she wants, and I'm going to give her absolutely everything she wants, but I'm going to make her wait a bit first.
I take off my pant and lie on top of her, totally naked. Feeling the warmth of her naked body on mine makes me feel extraordinary sensations, I feel as if our two bodies are linked, our two bodies complementing and belonging to each other. She grabs me by the nape of the neck and places her lips on mine, asking for access to the inside of my mouth with her tongue, and of course, I give her this access. It's so strong, we desire each other, I've never wanted her as much as I do now. I straighten up and smile as I look at her, she smiles too as she understands what I'm about to do.
I grab both her thighs and lower myself to her crotch to kiss both her inner thighs and her vagina, before starting to lick her as she deserves
"Amber I would have given anything to experience this again..." she says, pressing my face to intensify the contact of my tongue and her vagina.
Tara if you only knew... you can experience this absolutely every day, anytime, just come to me.. and I'll do anything you want.
She tightens her thighs around my face, it's the first time she's done this but wow. I could stay here for hours... At the time, she's really more than excited, I've never seen her in such a state, it's true that it's been a long time... She's wiggling all over the place, grabbing my hair, my hands on her thighs... She's doing everything to turn me on even more than I already am.
"Get on top of me" she says, pushing my head out of her vagina
"Huh?" I say breathlessly as I move up to the level of her face.
She kisses me and bites my lip,
"Get on top of me, let me lick you at the same time.." she says before giving me another shy kiss.
My heart is on FIRE, FUEGO, FEU, anything you want
"You should get on top of me, I'm too heavy compared to you..." I tell her softly
"I want to feel you on me" she says
She doesn't need to ask me again, I get on top of her, my vagina level with her face and start licking her again. At first she caress me with her finger, then she starts kissing and finally licking me back. It's incredible what's happening. She's in a trance, her body's burning up, just waiting for me.
I straighten up so that I'm literally sitting on her face 🎠🤠 and she's never done me as much good as she's doing now... I caress her clitoris with two fingers while lying back on her belly.
Her legs are shaking and I love knowing that I'm making her feel this way...After a few minutes, she finally has an orgasm, which brings me one too, at the same time as her. I fall back on my side, she gets up and climbs on top of me to give me a hug.
"We inaugurated your sofa" she says, laughing.
"TARA" I say, laughing.
We go for a quick pee and clean up before heading back to the couch.
"That was great..." I say holding her cheeks
"As always" she says smiling,
"I'm too tired to get up and go to bed" she says
I get up, carry her in and lay her on the bed on my bedroom. I cover her, lie down beside her.
"Do you want pajamas...?" I ask
"No, I sleep like this, it's nothing..." she says in a tired voice.
"Okay.." I say as I pick up my phone from the bedside table, it's midnight
"Good night Amber, I love you" she says
"I love you too Tara, Happy Birthday my love" I say, kissing her forehead before we both fall asleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
I wake up before Tara, make her breakfast and text Mindy to ask if it's still okay for today. Tara doesn't seem to know that we wanted to celebrate her birthday at my place today, so good, she'll be happy. We have breakfast, then lunch together and then we spend the whole day cuddling up in my bed and watching TV shows together. Around 6pm, we take a shower together, then I get dressed and give her some of my clothes so she can get dressed too.
"Shall we go out...?" She asks excitedly
"Just get dressed Tara" I say, laughing
"I'm not getting dressed until you tell me" She says sitting up and crossing her arms, totally NAKED
"Tara get dressed!!! We don't have much time" I say as I walk over to her and try to get her dressed.She struggles for a few seconds before bursting out laughing and getting dressed
A few minutes later, the doorbell rings and she looks at me, raising an eyebrow.I open the door, it's Mindy, Chad, Anika, Quinn, Ethan... and Sam. I'm stunned to see Sam, but it's Tara's birthday, so I'm not going to make any waves tonight, and I'm going to make sure I don't pay any attention to Sam or Ethan's presence.
I said no to Mindy to bring Ethan... Anyway. They brought a cake and their presents, I already had drinks and snacks at home. Tara gives me a big hug, kisses me in front of everyone and thanks me.
I'll do anything for you, Carpenter, When are you going to understand this ?
I'm going with Mindy into the kitchen to put the cake away, while Tara chats with everyone.
"I told you no about Ethan," I say
"I thought you were kidding, it's nothing" She says with her bitchy grin "are you really jealous of him?" She asks me
"Me jealous? Besides him? You don't know me very well" I say, putting the cake away in the fridge
"He said he liked Tara" She says, tapping her fingers on the worktop.
I turn around and raise an eyebrow
"Get this guy out of my house" I say
She bursts out laughing "I'm just kidding, calm down furry" She says
We go back into the living room, we all chat, I even shock myself by answering some of Ethan's questions, but I'm doing everything I can to make sure Tara has a good time, that's my ultimate goal. I feel Sam's gaze on me for most of the evening, so I keep calm and, above all, avoid it.
Sam comes and sits next to me
"Can we talk in the kitchen?" she asks
I get up and she follows me into the kitchen
"Stay away from the knife drawer" I say.
"Very funny Amber" she says, sitting down on one of the chairs.
I lean against the wall
"I'm sorry for what happened and I'm sorry I ever thought you were one of the ghostfaces... I've been through a lot with what happened with Richie and I know he used you too.... I did wrong Amber and I'm sorry." She said, looking down at the floor
Samantha Carpenter apologizing? I've never heard that before. I don't think it was Tara who sent her to apologize, otherwise she would have told me, Tara doesn't know how to hold her tongue, in every sense of the word🫦😝
"It's okay, Sam, don't worry," I tell her.
"I want things to go well between us, for Tara" She says as she stands up and walks over to me.
"Me too, your sister is the most important person in my life" I tell her.
She puts her hand in front of mine
"Let's make peace?" she says.
I shake her hand and we smile. We both love Tara, more than anything. We can't tear each other apart without tearing Tara apart in the process, and neither of us wants that...We return to the living room, having made our peace, the evening is shaping up to be a really good one. We're all laughing, there's music playing in the background, no arguments, no problems, no ghostfaces... I'm getting really friendly with Quinn, who's a really great girl, funny, intelligent and above all very interesting, we always have something to talk about. But she's mostly obsessed with sex... Maybe that's something we have in common.
We end the evening in style, blowing out Tara's candles and giving her all our presents. She cries when she opens them... She's far too sensitive and emotional for this kind of "surprise birthday", I knew she'd react like this, it's totally successful and makes me the happiest in the world.
Around 3 a.m. everyone starts to leave, there's not enough room for everyone to sleep at my place, although I've offered anyway.
I see Sam and Tara chatting while I tidy up the living room, then Tara comes over to me
"I'm sleeping here again tonight, unfortunately for you" she says, smiling
"Well fortunately" I say "Sam sleeps here too?" I ask
"No she's going home with Chad and Mindy" She says to me
"Okay" I say
I say goodbye to everyone, and it's just Tara and me at the end of the night. We both lie down in my bed, exhausted.
"Thanks Amber, this is the best birthday of my entire life" She says to me.
"Really?" I ask with a laugh
"You know damn well it is" she replies, kissing me.
"You said the same thing to me when we were 14 and I gave you a chocolate muffin for your birthday," I say
She bursts out laughing "You're silly ... all the birthdays I spend with you are the best... I wish we could have spent last year's together" She says
I kiss her and stroke her cheek
"We'll never miss any now" I say with a smile
She smiles and snuggles into my arms before falling asleep.
-------------------------------
Several months later, October 31.
Today is Halloween, and Anika is organizing a big party at her house. The first day of school went very well, I spend a lot of time with Quinn since we're in the same class, and we've become very close. Everything going well with Tara, we love each other more than anything else and nothing will ever be able to keep us apart. I finish putting on my disguise and head for Anika's place, where a lot is going to happen tonight
