Ever since you were children, you and Tara had been best friends. When her father and sister left town and her mother would drink, you were always the one there for her. You were safe and reliable.
Your other friends growing up had been the twins - Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin, and Wes Hicks. Then at around age 10 or 11, Amber Freeman moved to town and she became part of the picture. Liv became a part of the group sophomore year of high school. That was the group!
Aside from you, Tara was closest with Amber. You never liked nor trusted Amber but no one trusted you. Mindy even teased you, saying you just didn’t like Amber because you were in love with Tara. Tara eventually started dating Amber. You didn’t like that, because you didn’t trust Amber and because, yeah, you were in love with Tara.
Amber was manipulative, possessive, and controlling. And insane, because last year she teamed up with Richie Kirsch to become Ghostface and go on a killing spree. Killing your friends, hurting Tara, and breaking Tara’s heart obviously fucked with Tara.
So you, the Carpenter sisters, and the twins all moved out to NYC. Mindy started dating Anika. Quinn Bailey became the Carpenter sisters third roommate. Ethan Bailey was Chad’s dorm-mate. Gale was already living out in NYC.
Life was moving on but there were still the scars and nightmares. Tara had a limp from her broken right ankle and a scar on her left hand. Everyone knew her and all her nights were accompanied by memories. But you were still there, safe and reliable.
All your life you had been in love with Tara. You never made a move because you were afraid of rejection, and then because she was with Amber. Lately you’ve been giving Tara space and time to mourn and everything. But Tara’s been giving off vibes. Sometimes you think that you have a chance! And other notice. But whenever you try to be serious about it, Tara diverts.
You’ve realized that you’ll never compare to Amber Freeman and her ghost. Which is fucked because she was a toxic girlfriend and a psychotic human being. You’d do anything for Tara! Are sane and healthy. How can you not be better than Amber? Especially in death! It was tormenting you, and you already had your own trauma to deal with.
