CHAPTER FORTY SIX fools

"I'm just glad you're okay." Nora smiled as Natalie returned home before going to see Clay in the hospital. "It's disgusting what they did out there."
"I just feel so bad for Clay. I need to go see him." Natalie said as she packaged her stuff up.
"Natalie. I've listened to that voicemail hundreds of times. We need to figure out what we're going to do." Nora said as Natalie took a deep breath, realizing what she had said.
Natalie shrunk into a seat in the dining room table. "I don't know what to say, mom. I didn't mean for this to happen."
"Well it's Justin's, I'm assuming." Nora says and Natalie nods, saying yes. "Do you want to keep it?"
"Yes. There's not a doubt about that." Natalie shrugged.
"This is gonna affect college and graduation. You and Justin are both going to need reliable jobs and housing. I'll want to sit down with The Jensen's and talk to them. The high school drama is gonna have to quit." Nora lectures but her tone not even angry.
"I get it." Natalie shrugged, her and Justin really hadn't ever explored any options besides keeping it but she knew it was what she wanted to do.
"But I believe in you." Nora says, giving her daughter a hug. They didn't do that very often.

"Natalie knows something. Why else would she not give up the person who killed her brother?" Winston tells Estella. "But look here, in the playbook. Monty and someone are writing back where forth using a number. He said 'Twenty one basically told me he did it. Twenty one, using the drugs Bryce gave him.' So I guessed, that's gotta be a jersey number. Sure enough, my theory checks out. The only reason Natalie wouldn't say something is if twenty one, her lover boy, Justin Foley did it. Diego is gonna try to pry it out of Zach today."
"And you really think Natalie knows?" Estela asks with a sympathetic look. No way Natalie knows who killed her brother and let them get away with it.
"She has too." Winston shook his head.
"Natalie is the only person who knows what I'm going through and I just don't think she would hide something like that." Estela shakes her head.
"Not even to protect her boyfriend who she openly took the side of over Bryce many times?" Winston shrugged.
"I just, I just thought she was better then that." Estela looked back down at the playbook.
