AILEEN SAT IN The back of Arianna's car with Richie while Scarlet and Arianna were at the front of the hospital. Aileen flinched when she heard Scarlet's screams when she saw the body bag pull up. That can't be Dewey. Can it?

"Don't look.." Richie scooted closer to the window, trying to block it with his back, not wanting to scare Aileen.

Aileen tried to look over Richie's shoulder, but Richie wouldn't move. 

"Richie.." Aileen looked at him, tearing up.

Richie hugged her, kissing her head "I'm sorry, beautiful..."

Aileen cried in his arms, not wanting to let go. Richie sighed, sadly heartbroken with his girlfriend's cries.

"I got you, I got you." Richie comforted Aileen, looking out the window, frowning at Arianna as Scarlet's screams were all he could hear outside.

This can't be real. This has to be a dream.

AILEEN AND SCARLET Sat outside the hospital smoking cigarettes together while Arianna and Richie were inside with Dylan and Sam. Vince walked over to Scarlet and sat next to her, holding out his arms for her. Scarlet looked Vince up and down then started to cry again, wrapping her arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Vince cooed, rubbing her back, rocking them back and forth knowing how much Dewey meant to Scarlet.

Aileen tossed her cigarette to the side, walking into the hospital seeing Roman, Courtney, Gale, and Sidney.

"Mom?" Aileen teared up, walking up to Courtney, hugging her.

Courtney sniffed, hugging Aileen back "Hi, beautiful."

Aileen pulled away from Courtney seeing Roman's arm "Dad, what happened?"

Roman lifted up his arm, looking over to Courtney. Courtney sighed, nodding at her husband.

"After Vince came to talk to me and after Judy and Wes were killed, Ghostface called me and slashed my arm when I tried to get them out of the house. Lottie's fine, I left her with Jennifer." Roman explained to Aileen as he rubbed his bandaged arm.

Aileen looked down at her feet then back to her dad "Dad, someone in the friend group who knows you were one of the originals is after you. This is my fault."

Sidney shook her head "Hey, baby. This isn't your fault, someone who knows that my idiot brother and his wife were the real Ghostfaces of 2000 is probably someone not only in your friend group, but a major fan of Stab and it's sequels, including the one that Roman was supposed to direct."

Aileen covered her mouth, looking over to her parents. Roman rolled his eyes, looking over to his sister.

"Sidney." Roman sighed, rubbing his face.

Courtney giggled, rubbing Roman's back "Baby, you are an idiot."

Aileen laughed a bit, shaking her head. Her parents were adorable.

Richie stepped away from Sam and Dylan "Hey, we should get going. Hi, Mrs. Roberts."

Courtney waved a bit, smiling slightly "Hello, Richie."

Aileen walked over to Gale, hugging her tightly "I'm so sorry."

Gale hugged back, rubbing her hand up and down Aileen's back "Thank you, sweetheart. Get home safe."

Aileen nodded, smiling a bit "We will."

Richie wrapped his arm around Aileen, rubbing her back, guiding her to the car "Scarlet's going home with Vince?"

"They have some unfinished business to talk about, it's weird. They used to be inseparable now it's like since she left he doesn't know what to do." Arianna frowned, looking over to Richie.

Aileen rolled her eyes, sighing "Gross."

"There's a party at my dad's old house, wanna crash it?" Arianna grinned, getting in the car.

Richie was about to object but Aileen covered his mouth.

"Sure, why not." Aileen giggled, getting in the backseat while Richie sat in the front.

Arianna started the car then drove to Amber's. Aileen knew Arianna wanted to make her happy, so she didn't want to object to going to the party. Time to party.
