The Girl Next Door

Chapter 38

Beyoncé skids into the driveway nearly ramming Jay's car. She jumps out and races to the house and rushes in, crazy with panic, choking on the smoke.

Beyoncé : Jay ? Blue?
A MOAN comes from behind the island. Beyoncé finds Jay clinging to life.

Beyoncé : Jay . Oh my God.

Beyoncé: Blue??? Where is she?

Blue runs through dense trees. She looks back for Y/n and her foot catches a tree root. She tumbles to the ground.
She lies there for a moment, listening. Silence. Then, the CRUNCH OF FOOTSTEPS and an eerily calm voice.

Y/n: I know you're here, bro. I can
smell you.
Blue sees her walk by, less than thirty feet away. The KNIFE IN HER HAND glints in the moonlight.

Y/n: Come out and fight like a woman.
Even your chickenshit father did in the end.
Y/n disappears behind some trees. Blue takes off in the opposite direction.
Y/n hears her and turns to see her shadowy figure heading deeper into the woods. She follows, the gleam of the hunter in her eyes.
A faraway SIREN WAILS as Beyoncé pulls Jay to safety.

Beyoncé: I've got to find them.

Jay:
No. She'll kill you ...

Beyoncé :I love you, Jay .
She runs off toward the woods, stopping only to grab a SHOVEL leaning against the garage.

Blue stops in the clearing. With the RAVINE up ahead and Y/n right behind, she's got nowhere to run.
She spies the FALLEN SYCAMORE and tucks herself under its massive trunk, accidentally brushing against the TIRE SWING and setting it in motion.
Y/n enters the clearing.

Y/n: Come on, Blue . I'm not going to
hurt you. I just want to talk.
She notices the tire swing moving. She goes to it and stops it. Her eyes scan the area.

Blue sees Y/n's  legs so close she could reach out and touch them. She barely breathes.

Y/n: circles the clearing, searching, as DISTANT SIRENS grow louder. Her impatience builds.

Y/n: So you're just going to let me get
away with it? I fucked your mother, man. You should have seen her. Begging me for it ...

Blue shakes with rage, but remains silent.

Y/n: I fucked her so good... Just like she wanted it.
Y/n stomps around with growing frustration, slashing the brush with her knife.

Y/n: I fucked your girlfriend, little
whore. I fucking butchered your old man right there on your kitchen linoleum. And you're just gonna run away and hide, you candy-ass son-of-a-bitch!
Suddenly, Beyoncé's voice echoes through the trees.

Beyoncé: Blue !

Here comes mommy, Blue . You going
to wait for her to rescue you? She calls out, mimicking Blue's voice.

Y/n:  Mom!

Beyoncé:
hears Y/n's call as she runs through the woods.

Beyoncé :I'm coming!

Blue:
scrambles out from her hiding place.

Blue(calling to Beyoncé )
She's got a knife!

Y/n: Finally. A set of balls.
Y/n lunges for Blue with her knife. Blue dodges her . Y/n comes at her again, but this time Blue grabs her wrist.
They lock in a struggle over the knife. The blade inches ever closer to Blue's throat.
Finally, in an act of utter desperation, Blue knees Y/n in the groin. While Y/n is doubled over in pain, Blue tackles her. The knife goes flying.
The two girls wrestle. Blue lands a couple of lucky punches, but Y/n quickly gains the upper hand and pummels Blue until she PASSES OUT.
Straddling Blue , Y/n raises a large rock overhead and is about to crush Blue's skull with it, when...WHACK!
Beyoncé's shovel bashes Y/n upside the head. She keels over and lies motionless in the dirt.
