#gale nolan

[random-lil-illing]

thinking about how welton handled neil's suicide.

the way mr nolan's speech about neil committing seemed rehearsed, how they barely spent any time talking about him and more time talking about the investigation.

it got me thinking... how many students were there before neil? how many, before him, had done the exact same thing for similar or differing reasons.

how many times had mr nolan have to repeat that exact same speech? or maybe it was more heartfelt with the first student, but as each year, yet another students couldn't take it anymore, mr nolan's speech grew shorter and colder.

maybe they covered it up just as well, or even better than, neil's suicide. maybe there were no inspiring teachers back then, no one that gave the students a reason to metaphorically stand on their desks.

i don't know, i'm just... thinking.

The First Dead Poets

Neil William Perry

trigger warning: death, suicide, shitty parents

        The first time he heard Neil’s name, he almost broke down. The ironic part was, he heard it everywhere. Neil was the top of his grade, he excelled in every class, and he participated in almost every extracurricular that was offered. His name was unavoidable. To add insult to injury, he was Charlie’s best friend. So with Charlie it was “Neil this” and “Neil that”. And while he was glad Charlie had such a close friend, he couldn’t help but wish that he had chosen one with a different name. But he was a good kid. He brought an energy to every room that made it impossible for John to feel resentment towards him.

       As the year went by, John noticed something in Neil. Something that as he saw it, made him finally realize why he needed to come back. It was something that he hadn’t seen in 18 years. Because, the horrible truth was, Neil reminded him of James. He had the same bright energy that seemed real until it suddenly wasn’t. The same overbearing father that he wouldn’t talk about. But he thought back to when James died, and remembered the promise that he made that day. He would never let it happen again. And he wouldn’t. He would be able to save Neil before it was too late.

       It was a chill November day when John needed to speak to Neil about his poem. It had been brilliant, but slightly concerning. He walked down the hall to the room that Neil shared with Todd Anderson, another one of his extraordinary students. He knocked on the door, and when there was no reply, he knocked again. He tried the door, and it was locked. Suddenly a wave of nausea hit him. Was he too late? Panicked, he ran to Mr. McAllister’s office, asking to borrow his keys. When he returned to the door, he took a deep breath, praying that he would find nothing behind the door. What he did find, however…was not at all what he had expected. He swung the door open, calling Neil’s name, only to reveal Neil and Todd sitting on one of their beds, kissing. He slammed the door shut as quickly as he could. He prayed that neither had noticed, but the frantic footsteps behind the door said otherwise. As the door opened again, Todd rushed out, his cheeks flushed a bright red. A moment later, Neil appeared in the doorway, his eyes painted with panic.

         “Mr. Keating, I-”

         “Mr. Perry, I came to speak with you about your poem, but, uh, it seems we may have something else to discuss. Will you come into my office?”

        As soon as the door was shut behind him, Neil began to speak, “Mr. Keating, please don’t tell my father.”

         John put his hand out, “I would never dream of it, Neil. This will stay between the two of us, I swear it.”

          “Thank you, Mr. Keating. Before you say anything-”

         “The issue here is not that it was the two of you. I, frankly, believe that anyone caring about another man’s sexuality is stupidity of the highest degree. However, you must be more careful. The second you hear a knocking, you must be aware of it. Had it not been me opening the door, I’m afraid this would not have gone the way it is. I…I had a dear friend when I went here who wasn’t careful enough and…You are very lucky it was not Mr. Nolan or Dr. Hager. But know that I do not care who it is that you love. As long as you are happy, that’s the only thing that matters in the world.” Neil hesitated for a moment, before throwing his arms around John. He embraced him back, thanking God that it was not as he had thought. As Neil pulled back, John noticed the tears starting to run down his face.

          “Are you quite alright, Neil?” he asked.

          He wiped his eyes, “I’ve never heard that before. No one’s ever told me that it was alright.”

         “Neil-”

        “I have felt like a freak my entire life. I have lived for seventeen years thinking that there was something entirely wrong with me, but…you said that it’s alright.”

        “Because it is, Neil. Of course it is. How can love be wrong?”

        “Do you really think so?”

        “I know so.”

        Neil looked around the room, his eyes settling on the photo frame on John’s desk, “Is that your wife?”

        “That is.”

        “She’s beautiful.”

        “She’s also in London,” John replied with a sigh.

       “How are you able to be that far away from here? Doesn’t it hurt?”

       “My dear boy, it hurts like hell. But we decided it was best for me to come here, at least temporarily.”

       Neil paused before noticing the other photo on his desk, “Hang on, Captain, you’ve got a son?”

       “Sorry?”

      “In that photo over there, is that your son?”

      “Uh yes, that is.”

      “Why did you never tell us you had a son?”

      “He died last year.”

      The smile immediately disappeared from Neil’s face, “Oh my god. Captain, I’m so sorry, I-”

      “It’s fine, Neil. You had no way of knowing.” He paused. “His name was Neil.” It was silent for a moment, a heavy weight hanging in the air.

      Neil stood, “Thank you, Mr. Keating, for everything.”

      “Of course, Neil. Now if you need anything, you can always come to me.”

      As the weeks passed, Neil came in to talk more and more. The day that Neil came in crying, heart broken that his father was refusing to let him continue the show, John didn’t know what to do. What could he do? So he told Neil to talk to his father, to try to talk some sense into him. Deep down, he knew he wouldn’t. And as he watched Neil on stage, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride. He couldn’t put it into words, but it was like watching a child of his own. And when his father dragged him away into the car, he prayed to God that it would be fine.

      John awoke the next morning to a rapid tapping at his door. He opened it to reveal Mr. McAllister, wearing his night robe, eyes dark.

      “How can I help you, George?”

      He looked around cautiously, “May I come in?”

       “Please.” He opened the door wider and he sat down in the chair by his bed.

      “John, I wanted to let you know before Nolan calls you in.”

      “Has something happened?”

      “Neil Perry…he shot himself last night in his home.” The world stopped. He had failed. He had failed yet again to save a person he cared about. He shouldn’t have come back. He thought he could bring a solution, but all he brought was his stupid fucking curse. His curse that cost everybody he knew their life. Even this child. This child who deserved so much more than the unfair world had given him. Neil was dead and he couldn’t do anything about it.

      “Mr. Keating, we have been informed that you encouraged Mr. Perry in the theater, knowingly disobeying his father’s orders.”

     “With all due respect, Mr. Nolan, I was simply encouraging Mr. Perry to live.”

     “And look where that ended us. His father is threatening to sue the school. Do you know why?”

     “Why?”

     “Because of your blatant disregard for authority. You cannot deny that it is all your own fault.”

     John stood up, “Excuse me?”

     “Sit down, John.”

     “You know who’s fault this really is, Gale? His father’s. Your’s. This school’s. You churn out empty people who follow the mold you set. And when people try to break out? They end up suspended, or expelled, or dead. Do you remember James Foster?”

     “Do not speak that name here.”

     “You know, I always thought you were just a terrible person, but it turns out…”

      “What?” Mr. Nolan spat out.

      John pushed his chair back and as he reached the doorway, he turned around, “You’re just a coward.”

My Boyfriend's Back: Epiloge

A/N: This is short, and I hate to say it, but this is the end of the story. I will not be continuing into Scream 4, 5, and 6. I will be moving on to Killer Geek next. A very OOC Randy Meeks x Loomis Reader. I don't know when I will be posting anything on that story, probably not until I have at least ten chapters. I hope you enjoyed this story. Thank you for reading and being so patient with me and my lack of updates recently. I love you all. xoxo

Ten Years Later

We moved out of California like we said we would. Stu changed his name and looks. It's been ten years, and nobody has seemed to recognize him. Reese is eleven and in the sixth grade. Everything has been great. We got married seven years ago. I got back into my music and released an album, and Stu went back to school. He got his GED and then went to school for film. We live in a gated community and have the most expensive security system I could get.

I know it sounds ridiculous and over the top. I live with the man who started at this shit but I didn't want to be caught off guard one day. There had been the occasional prank calls here and there with someone pretending to be ghostface. I wanted to keep purpose daughter our of that life. She knows everything. It was hard to hide as she got older. She's smart and sneaky. I probably shouldn't have kept newspaper clippings of everything.

Dewey and Gale are married, still living in Woodsboro. Dewey is the sheriff now, and Gale hasn't written a book in years. But Stab movies keep being made. Of course, after the third movie, Sidney and I threatened to sue if they made any more stable movies based on our lives. The movies have gotten worse and worse.

Speaking of Sidney, she moved out of California too, right after our dad passed away. He had a heart attack a few years after the Hollywood murders. She wrote a book called Out of the Darkness." The books about her…our lives, and how she has dealt with it. She also married Randy, which let me say it was a huge shock. But they grew closer, and she agreed to let him take her on a date. That date turned into another and another, and before she knew it, she was saying yes to marrying him.

Randy wrote a script he had been working on for years, and then he made it into a movie. He produced and directed it himself. He's a big director now and had made dozens of movies, at least of them being his own. Stu has helped on a few of them, co-directing with him. Sidney and Randy also have two kids together, Lily is five, and Nolan is three. They live a few houses down from us, and we have dinner every Friday night.

Life couldn't be any better. It's not what I was expecting it to be, but it all worked out. I still have a small part of me that wonders if Stu ever gets the urge to kill. He's very protective of me and Reese. Randy and Sidney weren't all to on board when I told them about getting back with Stu. They both thought it was a horrible idea, but over time, they have learned to put the past behind them and accept it. I made Stu get rid of anything that linked him back to the ghostface murders. So far, we haven't had any problems, and I hope it stays that way.

Abandoned

A woman walks into the Los Angeles City Hall at night, followed by a sinister figure keeping to the shadows. The chiaroscuro cinematography for the scene, by the accomplished William Daniels, and the presence of Raymond Burr as the stalker, place Joseph M. Newman’s ABANDONED (1949, TCM, YouTube) squarely in the world of film noir. Yet the actress, Gale Storm, would seem somewhat incongruous in the world of corruption and double-cross. It’s not that she’s bad. She’s thoroughly competent. It’s what her later image brings to the film. In a way, that’s symbolic of how what could have been a distinctive, hard-hitting treatment of sexual hypocrisy goes soft because of the Production Code.

Storm is a small-town girl trying to find her older sister, who vanished after giving birth in a private hospital where nobody has any record of her stay. Reporter Dennis O’Keefe helps her dig into the case, which leads to a baby adoption racket led by respectable society matron Marjorie Rambeau. Irwin Gielgud’s story was inspired by an actual L.A. case from the year before and oddly prefigures the case against Mary Tan’s Tennessee Children’s Home Society a year after the film’s release. For 1949, the implication that Rambeau preyed on unwed mothers was hot enough, and the suggestion that the rich and socially prominent were using the unfortunate almost subversive. But the Code cut Gielgud’s suggestion that the missing woman had run from an incestuous relationship with her father, who had refused to pay for an abortion. All that remains is Storm’s line about their father: “He never would leave either one of us alone.” It’s supposed to explain his hiring Burr to track the older sister and later trail Storm, but even without context, it sounds like an accusation. But it still doesn’t quite explain why he’d hire a thug like Burr in the first place or how he stumbled into hiring someone who just happens to be connected to the adoption racket. And it blunts what could have been a noirish nightmare image of the American family.

The film is highly entertaining nonetheless. Newman keeps it moving well, and Daniels’ photography is a joy to watch. Storm isn’t bad, but her apple-cheeked charm (she’s like the teen Shirley Temple, only with more baby fat) just feels out of place. She’s at her best flirting with O’Keefe, who has some good wisecracks provided by writer William Bowers. Jeanette Nolan turns up more restrained than usual as the head of a legitimate home for unwed mothers. Also featured are Jeff Chandler as the district attorney, Will Kuluva and Mike Mazurki as Rambeau’s muscle and, very briefly, Frank Cady as O’Keefe’s editor. Main acting honors go to Rambeau, who in one scene shows how to use stillness to dominate an actor as large and imposing as Burr.
