leeches;
you came into my life when I was on the verge of death, you embraced me with open arms and laced my flesh with the leeches of your broken heart.

love quinn was dead, her face and name plastered on every single newspaper article and headline. A house fire, that was the cause of her so-called death. Of course, only one person knew the truth of her so-called accidental death.

Joe Goldberg had killed his wife, gave away their child and then fled all together. He had succeeded in escaping his haunted past, and now he could finally find the one, without the fear of being killed.

London was a beautiful place to call home, a new identity and a clean record. It was something Joe deserved after having dealt with Love.

He didn't know of the faces that haunted him behind his back, of the woman who had watched every step he took. Each friend, lover and ally were all potential targets of murder.

The first victim was just an accident, but the second one had made Joe prepare for the worst, someone knew about his past, of his secrets.

Corey Becker had survived, after another year of being targeted by ghostface he took his bags and left woodsboro. Paris was a place he didn't see himself ever visiting, yet he felt drawn to the place.

He didn't have to hide behind hats and cheap sunglasses here. No one cared who he was or about his reputation with ghostface. He could be himself for once, be free of his haunted past and demons.

It was almost too perfect, Corey had always expected someone to be hidden behind his back. Watching his every move as he tried to survive another day.

When the murders started, he thought the worst of it all. Ghostface had come back for him, so he did what any sane person would do, he faked his death.

With a supposed drunk driver hitting him and killing him on the spot, he fled once again. London was beautiful and he doubted his past would follow him all the way here, he was dead for a reason.

The woman who he worked for was perfect, almost too perfect in his opinion. She held herself with such caution and the burns on her body she kept hidden away from any prying eyes, yet he saw them.

Corey could sense she had a dark past, or made him feel uneasy at first and then it made him feel alive. He didn't think he'd find himself falling in love so easily with someone who clearly had a broken heart.

Yet he latched onto her flesh and he held on, and for once she didn't let go, she was normal and Corey was finally getting back to his old self. No more ghostface and no more murders and chaos.

Then it all changed in a matter of seconds after he befriended a man named Joe Goldberg. It was almost as if every single person he would be introduced to was slowly going down a path of self destruction.

The first body didn't bother him, it was an accident but the second body made him paranoid. Someone out there was coming for him, they had found him.

The leeches on his flesh were crawling with such paranoia and desperation he didn't know she was the one who put them there.

authors notes:
I'm not ashamed of another Corey Becker book, this man will always be back and you can't escape it!!!! He would be in every single book I made if I had the energy for it. I would write an actual book about this man, that's all much of a hold he has on me. He's not even real and I'm obsessed with using him as an Oc for everything! I call it the Corey Becker Saga, where he's in different fandoms. We already have him in scream which is the og story he's from. We have yellow jackets, which I need to work on that lol, and now we have the you universe! There's a lot more fandoms he's in, I have drafts of this man. A lot of scream what ifs mostly, but still he's my entire draft list on this app. Anyways enjoy this, I was suppose to get 3 other drafts out but it's about to be 7AM... so i should like sleep... also Christmas is in like 8 days that's insane man. I'm sleep deprived, this is long and my phones dying so see ya later! Also sorry if summary sucks I can't make sense of any word right now due to sleepiness, but I wanted to get this out, anyways this week is bookmas!!! A new book will be published every single day, and then next week on Monday, my update schedule begins.
