I looks down at my ankle and sigh in relief. There's nothing too bad that I can tell with it, just gonna be in pain for a day or two.

I move my ankle around so I get can a better look at it, it's mostly red and a little purple. To me it looks swollen, but I can move it fine and there's no bone popping out so It shouldn't be broken.

Somehow Javi and his car got in front of Tripp and us, probably because Tripp drives like a grandma. Soon when the straight road stops and turn into a left or right turn; Javi turned right and Tripp turned left. Both turning off their ignitions.

Tripp was the first one out, then Conrad and Clem. I open my door and swing my legs out so I can hear their conversation, but stay sitting. "Eleanor, thank god."

"I can't believe it. All our friends. All those people..." Tripp and Eleanor hug in the middle of the road and they pull away as Eleanor finishes her sentence.

Everyone looks at Conrad. He's has his back turned to us and staring at where Prescott used to be. "Poor Conrad." Javi looks down in a sad manner before speaking, "I'm sorry Conrad."

"You're sorry? You're sorry?!" He turn around pissed and starts walking at Javi, "you're the reason they came to Prescott in the first place. She's dead because of you!" I get it he's hurt and saw someone he loved die, but that doesn't give him the right to yell at people and blame it on them. The right person to blame are the people that killed her.

Tripp steps up, "Conrad—easy buddy. This wasn't his fault."

"Bullshit. Francine, Prescott...all because this washed up cheat walked through our gates. I should've know that the second I looked at you. You ain't gonna stand up for nobody, but your own." Javi looks down before saying what was on his mind, "We...we just lost someone too. So...say what you have to say."

Gabe gets out of the car when Javi says this, making Gabe feel more upset. "What, that supposed to make me feel better?" I scoff, "My god Conrad shut up. I get it you saw someone you loved die, but so has everyone else. That doesn't give you the right to yell at people and blame them when they weren't the ones who killed her." He looks away from Javi and to me annoyed.

"And who said you were in this conversation? You weren't even a part of Prescott."

"You're just pissed off that I'm right, and you guys are yelling in the middle of no where. Figured anyone had a say in the conversation." Tripp looks back at me and gives me a face that means shut the hell up, but I ignore it.

"Calm down, Conrad, please."

"All I know is, if it wasn't for him" He points his finger at Javi and shoved him. We all stop when we hear a gun click. We turn our heads and see Gabe pointing a gun right at Conrad's head. "Uh oh."

"Back the fuck off. Now." Conrad's mood easily changes and he puts his hands up. Javi's eyes widen and he's walks towards Gabe.

"Just back away!"

"Easy son."

"Gabriel! Put it away! Now!" When Javi yelled 'now' I honestly flinched, he wasn't messing around. "He's gonna hurt you. No way." I take a step down from the van and start limping towards Gabe, "Gabe listen to me, this isn't gonna help. Conrad is just mad thats all. He's not gonna hurt Javi, it's okay." I put my arms forward and try to get him to listen to me.

He just looks into my eyes, thinking before he shakes his head and get in a better shooting position towards Conrad. "Just do it already! I don't even care anymore." I'm now a little bit in front of Javi still trying to slowly ease my way towards him.
