(The Next Day)

Y/N's POV

So last night was tough night. Everyone now knows that I'm the son of Roman Bridger.

I just can't believe this happened.

I'm at my house and Axel is here.

He's asking me about it.

Axel: So, it's true? Your real father is Roman Bridger?

Y/N: Yeah.

Axel: Damn, bro. That's crazy.

Y/N: You've always wondered why I take these, right?

I show him my prescription bottle.

Axel: I mean, yeah.

I sigh.

Y/N: It happened when I was ten.

Axel: What did?

Y/N: When I.... When I first saw him. He convinced me to...

Axel: What?

Y/N: Stab a student.

Axel: Oh my god.

Y/N: It happened so quick. I didn't... I didn't even know what I was doing till it was over.

Axel: Jesus Christ.

Y/N: My parents... they made it go away. Paid off the parents of the student I stabbed. God I don't even remember his name, I didn't kill him luckily. They put me on medication, got me into therapy.

Axel: Wow, that's... that's tough. Have you seen him since then?

Y/N: A few times, yeah. But not in the last couple years.

Axel: I'm so sorry, Y/N.

Y/N: It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault.

Third Person Perspective

Michelle and John bring Y/N into the house after picking him up from school. Y/N's been in a quiet state since it happened.

Michelle: Go up to your room, sweetie. I'll be up there in a few minutes.

Y/N listens and heads upstairs.

John sighs.

John: Holy shit.

Michelle: What are we gonna do?

John: The only thing we can do. Send him back.

Michelle: John, you can't be serious.

John: I am serious, Michelle. He stabbed a student.

Michelle: And we took care of it.

John: Did we? I mean, what happens if he does it again?

Michelle: He won't.

John scoffs and follows Michelle into the kitchen.

John: How do you know that, Michelle?

Michelle: Because I won't let that happen.

Michelle turns to her husband.

Michelle: We knew what we were getting into, John. We knew the first time we laid eyes on him. Who his father was, what he'd be in for.

John: Maybe we didn't think it through.

Michelle: John, do you really think giving him back is what's best for him? He needs love, reassurance, help. Only we can give that to him.

John: Michelle...

Michelle: He's my son, John. I can't just abandon him. We can't abandon him.

John thinks for a moment.

John: You're right. But this can't happen again. We need to tell him who his father was and who he really is.

Michelle: Then that's what we need to do.

(Present Day)

So I'm now at the school. I've been called in by the coach along with the superintendent and principal.

As I walk down the hallway, I see the students all staring and whispering.

I then see Tara and the group.

Tara looks at me with a saddened look.

I head into the office.

Y/N: You wanted to see me.

Principal Caffrey: Take a seat, Y/N.

I listen and sit down.

Coach Harlen and Superintendent Mitchell don't even look at me.

I look at Caffrey.

Y/N: Is there a problem?

Caffrey: Um....well...

I know what he's gonna do.

Y/N: I'm being fired, aren't I?

Caffrey: There have been calls, Y/N. About your...paternity.

Mitchell: Be blunt. You're being fired because the parents are worried about having a serial killer's son as a member of this school faculty.

Caffrey: Stop.

Mitchell: No. I can't believe your parents kept this from us, kept this from everyone.

Y/N: My parents did what was best.

Caffrey: Y/N, just give us time to work this out.

Y/N: No.

I stand up.

Y/N: I've been apart of this school for years.

I look at Coach.

Y/N: Your team. I've been apart of your team for years and you can't even look me in the eye.

Caffrey: Y/N, we will work this out. Just calm down.

Y/N: You want me to calm down?

I slam my hand on the desk.

Y/N: Calm down!?

The three of them flinch.

I chuckle.

Y/N: You're scared of me? Of me? I've won this school championship games. I was school president, I had the third highest gpa in my class and barely missed a day of school. And you're scared of me because of who my father is!?

Mitchell: Calm down, Mr. L/N.

Y/N: Or what?

Mitchell: I'll have you removed from the premises.

Y/N: Go to hell.

Caffrey: Y/N, please. Don't do anything stupid.

Y/N: Like what? Take these scissors and stab your eyes out.

I pick up the scissors.

Y/N: Or maybe I'll take them and use them to cut off every finger and toe from each of you and listen to you beg for your lives and only then will I finally end your miserable lives. IS THAT STUPID ENOUGH FOR YOU!?

I finally realize what I said as I look down and see that I've stabbed the scissors into the desk.

What have I done?

Y/N: I'm...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I immediately leave the office and bump into Tara.

Tara: Y/N, are you okay?

Y/N: I'm...

I look behind her and see ghostface.

I blink and he's gone.

Y/N: I'm uh...fine.

I go past her and leave the school.
