This is my story pls don't copy write First to read: @my4acc Brandon Oct 23 Mon 5:17 pm Brandon’s house/ basement Brandon puts his phone away and turns back to Jessica and Spencer “Sorry about that guys. That was Katie. She was wondering if yall were still here. She’ll be here in about 25 minutes.” Brandon says to them. “Ok.” Spencer says at the same time Jessica says “Alright.” “Anyways, we have to try and figure out how this girl, Elizabeth Thatcher, lost her legs if she died by slitting her wrists.” Brandon says. They all take out their phones trying to figure it out but Brandon keeps getting distracted and looking over at Jessica. She’s wearing a short black skirt with fishnets and a black crop top hoodie, looking extremely hot. He tries to think about how to ask her out but then the doorbell rings. “I’ll be right back, that’s probably Katie.” He says as he gets up and goes upstairs. He opens the door to see Katie as he expected and invites her in. “Thanks.” she says as she follows Brandon to the basement. Spencer gets up and hugs Katie, guiding her to the couch and giving her a small kiss as they sit down. Brandon glances at Jessica wishing for a small moment that that was them before snapping back to reality. ”Okay, has anyone learned anything new about how Elizibeth might have lost her legs?” Brandon asks. Katie, who was now practically sitting on Spencer's lap says “No, but I’ve been trying to figure that out.” So everyone goes back searching. A few minutes later Jessica shoots up “Guys, guys I think I found something!” “What?!” the three of them say in unison. “Ok, listen to this. Police reports say that eighteen year old Elizibeth Thatcher body was found with her wrists slit and her legs missing on September 6th 2020 at 7:28 am in summerwoods woods after a missing person’s report was filed by her mother Raven Thatcher.” Spencer blows out a long sigh. “Does it say how she got in the woods?” Katie asks. “Yeah, hold on, let me find it. Police believe that Elizibeth’s father, Charles Thatcher, may have been responsible for Elizibeth ending up in the woods, they believe Mr. Thatcher came home and saw his daughters corpse and brought her to the woods so that his wife, Mrs. Thatcher did not have to see it and an animal found her body.” Jessica finishes reading and looks up from her phone. “D.” Brandon says not knowing what else to say. A small smile flicks across Jessica’s barely noticeable. But Brandon catches it and smiles as well. “Maybe the game she wants us to play is finding out what really happened to her, not just speculation.” Spencer says his arm wrapped around Katie’s waist. “Maybe.” Brandon says doubtfully, he has a feeling there’s something else like it’s not that easy. A few minutes later they all get a text in the group chat. M: How’s the game going? Everyone looks at each other, eyes wide and full of fear. “What the f..is this?” Jessica says her voice is consumed with fear. Brandon can hear the fear in her voice so he walks over to where she’s sitting and hugs her. “I don’t know.” he whispers, hugging her tighter and closer as she hugs him back. Katie takes her phone back out. “I have to go. It’s getting late and I don’t want my parents to worry.” She says getting up. “Yeah, same.” Spencer says, also getting up. They say quick goodbyes to everyone and go upstairs. Brandon realizes he’s still hugging Jessica and lets her go. “Do you also have to go or do you wanna watch a movie?” “Yeah, I’d love to.” Jessica says happily. Brandon goes upstairs to make popcorn while Jessica chooses a movie. By the time he comes back downstairs Jessica had chosen a movie called Dear David that just came out about some guy having sleep paralysis from being haunted by some kid. Brandon really didn’t want to watch it since they’re dealing with their own haunting but wants to be with Jessica so he agrees. He sits on the couch and puts the popcorn in between them but Jessica puts it in her lap and lays against him as the movie starts. Brandon hesitantly puts his arm around her and sees her smile which makes him smile as well. Halfway through the movie Jessica falls asleep on Brandon and he takes the popcorn off her lap and slowly gets up. He gets her a blanket and covers her up, kissing her forehead lightly and whispering “I love you.” then goes upstairs to also go to bed.
