The Golden heart that cracked || Scream 1996

33.

[Novalee's outfit]

A month had passed, it was September 24, and in four days would mark the one year death anniversary of Maureen prescott.

Novalee had stopped talking to Casey and steve , as well as stu and billy. Billy would occasionally get into a fight with steve but he would be held back by novalee or stu.

Stu hasn't told novalee or billy about what he was hiding, and it was putting a bit of strain between his and Billy's relationship.

Billy just wanted stu to tell them, to trust them, but stu wouldn't and novalee could tell that it seemed to be to painful for stu to talk about.

It seemed like billy was getting upset with almost everything, and stu stopped talking, and novalee was trying to help them, to keep them together but with each passing day it was getting harder and harder with how stubborn stu and billy were.

Sidney has been trying to talk to her again but novalee has been ignoring and avoiding her.

She had enough problems already and she doesn't to deal with Sidney. Tatum has seemed to be on speaking terms again with everyone,

She keeps trying to flirt and trying to get stu to talk again, it pissed the hell out of billy and it annoyed novalee.

Randy had sensed the sudden changed between his three friends and tried to keep things lighthearted, and he also tried not to piss of billy.

Novalee was currently in her room, trying to figure out a way to help stu and billy.

She let out a deep sigh, dropping her head on her arms, softly repeatedly hitting her head on her arms,

She heard a small thud, confused, she glanced back at her pets who were sleeping on her bed,

She looked down at the floor, seeing a small key laying on the ground, confused and slightly curious, she bend down and picked it up, before examining it.

"Mm." She looked up and glanced at her books, before reaching out and grabbing the book that was locked and she could never open because she needed a key,

She put the key inside and turned it,it unlocked, she put the key down before opening the book, her neatly handwriting staring right back at her.

Today is my 14th birthday , My dad had just given me this book. It's cool isn't it?

This is my first time writing, so this isn't going to be long since my mom had thrown a party for me.

Today was a great day, and I hope that I have more day's like these,

I have to go now because my bestfriends Stu macher and randy meeks are trying to eat the cake already, and it looks like my other bestfriend billy loomis is trying to set something on fire.

Novalee let out a small giggle, shaking her head before skipping a few pages, before stopping on other page

I know I haven't been writing much, I've have been so busy lately.

I've gotta tell you something though, my mom has been coming home very late. I can hear my mom and dad arguing with each other at night.

I think they might be getting a divorce soon, but I hope not. I don't want my family to separate.

Anyways, I've gotta tell you something else. I think something might be wrong with stu,

He's been acting weird, I tried to talk to him about it but he just changes the subject, but stu promised me not to tell billy,

I don't know why stu doesn't want billy to know, but I hope that he is okay.

Well, I have to go now, I think my mom finally came back home, and I have to turn off my light before my parent's see that I'm still awake.

Novalee quickly scanned through the rest of the pages ,before she found the page she was looking for,

Hey Nova, B, if you are reading this, it means I went through with it. I'm sorry that I wasn't strong enough.

I just couldn't do it anymore, I'm so tired, and the only bright part of my day are you guys,

But I'm so tired. I can't handle my parent's anymore...can't handle my dad anymore,

I guess that I'm dead now, it doesn't really matter if you guys know or not ,

My mom was abusive, but my dad...he's worse,....my dad has been touching me, has been going in my room at night, I tried to lock the doors once but he made sure it hurt that time, so I never locked the door again.

I know I'm pathetic and a coward for killing myself, but I couldn't deal with it anymore, and I'm sorry for not coming to you guys,

And I'm sorry for writing my suicide note in your diary nova,

Please don't be sad or blame yourselves.

Thank you for being my friends and the ones I got to love.

Tears spilled out of novalees eyes, sliding down her cheeks, down her chin and falling into the book,

She turned the pages but nothing else was written, she shut the book and quickly stood up, rushing out of her room,

She needed to get to stu's house,and she doesn't care if she has to run all the way there.
