After Movie Novels & Stories

“She’ll be at the shelter Friday night. After the meal run. If she wants to talk, she’ll step outside. If she doesn’t, don’t follow her. Don’t make this worse.” Meekey nodded, hands trembling slightly. “Thank you.” Zoe stood. “Don’t thank me yet. You’ve got one shot.” As she walked away, Meekey gripped the note in her hand like it was made of glass. One shot. And this time, she wasn’t going to miss.

"Sherry, I'm really glad you're moving forward. Life always keeps going. We need to learn to let go." I stood outside the infirmary for a long time afterward. It was just around the time the nearby Werewolf Academy let out. The street came alive. The sounds drifted into my ears, close enough to hear but distant enough to feel like another world. My phone buzzed, and a photo came through from an unknown number. It was the same one I had shredded, but it had not been awkwardly taped back together.

The woman lifted her head. Elara gasped. Marek leaned forward. “No way…” Selene’s jaw dropped. Lucian took a step back as if struck. His voice came out barely above a whisper. “…Mother?” Elara’s eyes flew open. “Your mother? But you said she died when you were a child.” Selene whispered, stunned, “She did. I…Lucian, I was at the funeral. We all were.” Lucian stared at the screen, frozen. “That’s… that’s her. I’d know her face anywhere.”

he said simply, reaching over to squeeze my shoulder, "Figure that out first, everything else can wait." I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. "Alright, enough heavy stuff," Adrian announced, grabbing the remote. "I found the perfect movie, it's called 'The Proposal' and it looks absolutely ridiculous." "I've seen it like ten times." “Perfect, then you can quote along," he said, pressing play. "Now help me open this popcorn before I break a tooth." We settled in, blankets and snacks spread between us, the opening credits rolling on the screen, and for the first time in days I felt like I could actually breathe.

Mike seemed genuinely into it, leaning forward during the intense scenes, and whispering sarcastic comments in my ear that made me smile. I tried to focus. I really did. But every time the lights dimmed and the screen flashed, my thoughts went back to Tristan’s hands on me, the way his shoulders had tensed when he saw my texts with Mike. Just how affected was he? Did he like me a lot? When the credits rolled, Mike turned to me with a grin. “That was intense. Want to blow off some steam at the arcade? There’s one right next door.” I was hoping the date would end after the movie, but I nodded anyway. “Sure. Sounds fun.”

"Then you know what to do. And please do not be late." "Alright. I will call you later to tell you how it went." “Alright. I pray it works in our favor. Byeee." I ended the call and stood in the hallway for a moment longer and took a deep breath. Then I straightened up and went downstairs to the kitchen.

‘Babe, there are only a few minutes left’. ‘I know, but I’ll only be a sec’. I just shrugged and turned my attention back to the film as Michael and David started their fight. . . Roman still wasn’t back by the time the movie ended and as the ending credits started to roll, the screen switched off and the whole room was plunged into darkness. I sat there for a minute, but eventually, it got too creepy and I stood up, ready to head out, back into the lobby and find Roman, but as soon as I got out of my seat, the lights came back and Roman was there…

The door opened and Janelle's mum smiled her way into the room. Janelle, who was still busy with her designs, looked up from her mum and gave her a weak smile. She was still feeling very bad after her brief and disturbing encounter with Tope. The thought stuck with her even after Tara had assured her that it was nothing of the sort. Tara had always been good at making her feel better. And even after they had gone off to Candy's, she was of no help at all.

" She says and I shake my head. The Film is based off a Horror novel; BEFORE DARK. Katie already read the book. She's a basic nerd which is understandable since she's a Writer. I only read it well tried to when Voltage brought the contract to me. "Haven't you already read the book?" I question. I push my empty plate forward then wrapped my finger around my glass of milk. "Yeah but I still don't want you spoiling the movie for me." She says with a shrug. I roll my eyes.

"Yes Lilly, I'm sorry for being mean to you." "All is forgiven, let's do something fun to forget all about this." "Ok, what do you want to do?" "Buddy, why don't you choose?" "Ok, Do you want to go back to my house and watch the movie that we didn't get to watch." "That sounds wonderful, if it's OK with your father."
