Tonight is Halloween and I have never been more excited in my life. I mean who doesn't like halloween? Weirdos.

My whole night is planned out Delilah and I are gonna stop at the halloween party for a few hours then go back to my place and have a movie marathon. 

This is our halloween movie marathon list:

-Scream

-Practical Magic

-Frankenweenie

then to the scary movies later in the night

-The conjuring

-IT

-Pet Cemetary

Matt's family doesn't support halloween and thankfully is making him stay with them all night which means I get Delilah all to my self tonight. 

I am currently in my room with Delilah getting ready. She wanted to make our costumes so I have no idea what I am going to be tonight. 

So far she has straightened my hair and done my makeup she won't let me see what makeup she did thought she claimed it would 'ruin the costume surprise'

After finishing with my hair and makeup she did her own. She curled her hair, and layered on green eyeshadow. 

She hands me the bag that my costume is in and told me to go put it on. 

I put on the knitted crop top and ripped mom jeans. Then I buckle the straps of my white heels. 

Heading out of my bathroom I see Delilah in a velvet green dress and a pair of wedges. 

"Who are we supposed to be?" I ask her and she laughs. 

"Isn't it obvious?" Im confused I have no idea. 

I shake my head and she gasps.

"We are Gillian and Sally." I look at our outfits and it clicks.

I see it now. 

My phone pings letting me know we should head out to the party now so we have enough time fo our movie marathon. 

"Lets go Gilly bean." I say hooking my arm through Delilahs.

We head down stairs and get into Delilahs car before driving off to the party. 

The party is packed. As the two of us shuffle through the crowd I have already run into 5 Harley Quinns, 4 Angels, 2 Zombies and 3 Play boy bunnies. 

In the kitchen we both grab a cup and fill it with beer. 

I see Noah approaching us with Derrick, Brady, the raven haired girl, and Chelsea following behind them.

"Nice costume." I say to Noah and he smirks. He's dressed as a frat boy. He's wearing a light blue polo shirt, khaki pants and sperrys. His hair is slicked back.

"What are you supposed to be?" Chelsea asks with disgust laced in her voice. I look over to see she's dressed as a play boy bunny. 

I roll my eyes. I have recently decided not to even waste my breath on Chelsea. So now every time she speaks to me I pretend she doesn't exist. 

"She's Sally and I'm Gillian." Delilah says from beside me. 

Noah and Brady both seem to understand now. Every year Delilah and I would make the two of them watch Practical Magic with us. 

"Why would you choose to be them?" The raven girls pipes up. I would be nice to her but after the party my brother threw she decided to become Chelsea's lacky which mean tormenting me along with Chelsea. I really don't get what their problem is. 

"Who are you again?" I ask her feigning confused. I know who she is to an extent. I don't know her name though.

She scoffs, "I'm Renee, we've literally been in classes together since kindergarten." I bite my lip to keep my self from laughing. 

Thats on me honestly. I don't really care to learn peoples names of those who I don't hang out with. My bad. 

Now we are all just kind of standing around the kitchen. To be honest its super awkward. Maybe we should just make it a full movie night. 

"BAILEY" someone shouts and we all turn our attention to the guy. My eyes widen. No way.

"Elliot?" I ask running up and hugging him. He picks me up off the floor and spins me around.

A clearing of someones throat makes us break away. Everyone is staring at us confused. Noah looks like he's ready to punch Elliot and so does Derrick and Brady. What the heckers?

"Oh" I laugh to my self. None of them know Elliot, "This is Elliot we went to camp together." he waves at them and most of them wave back. Renee looks like she wants to pounce on him and Chelsea looks like she'd rather be anywhere but here. 

Elliot and I go way back. From the summer after 5th grade all the way to the summer after freshman year I went to camp for a month. Every time I would hang out with Elliot. I never liked him in any other way then as a friend and the feeling was mutual. 

It was so refreshing to hang out with someone who didnt know my brother or Noah. Who didn't know about any of my day to day problems. Our last camp we both decided it would be our final one. He was already a sophomore, being a year older than me. 

We follow each other on social media but don't have each others numbers. None of my friends here knew about Elliot. 

"How have you been?" I asked him looking at his costume. He's wearing a pirate costume. 

He laughs, "Good, College has been stressful though. How about you?" he asks running his hand through his blond locks. 

"Interesting senior year is definitely taking a toll on me." I say referring to the amount of assignments we get. 

He nods in understanding, "Yeah my sister was saying the same thing." 

We chat for a while catching up before he had to head off.

I look at the time and notice Delilah and I should go home and start our movie marathon. 

"Hey Dee lets head out." 

She nods her head and we head back to my house. 

***

We are currently watching IT. I don't know why I agreed to watch this I hate clowns. 

Delilah and I are sitting on the couch when suddenly the tv shuts off. 

I gulp, "Thats not funny Brady." I yell. 

No response. 

Delilah grabs my hand and we stand up from the couch.

"Bailey." Delilah says looking behind me. I freeze.

I feel a hand brush against my arm, so I throw my elbow back, hitting the guy in the stomach. I hear him groan.

"Fucking shit." Delilah turns on the lights and we turn to face Noah laying on the ground holding onto his ribs.

I burst out laughing, "Thats what you get bitch." I yell at him. 

Brady comes out from behind the couch.

"We were just having fun Bailey." he says helping Noah off the ground. 

My laughter halts. He actually spoke to me. 

I feel like I should still be mad at him, but I just can't. 

"Wanna finish the movies with us?" Delilah asks the guys and they both nod in agreement. 

We turn off the lights and turn the tv back on. Delilah and I sit on the couch. Brady sits on the single chair and Noah sits between my legs resting his head against my knee. I subconsciously begin to play with his hair. 

He doesn't say anything about it as his thumb rubs circles on my calf.

The rest of the night we spend watching movies
