Wednesday's POV
Enid looks terrified. It could be from the trauma she just endured, but I doubt that's all of it.. The moment she saw Xavier, that's when the fear in her eyes ignited.
He couldn't have done it. Thing identified Rodriguez. Yet the intensity of her reaction can't be ignored.
He could've been involved in some capacity. As much as I want answers, now is not the time. Enid needs medical attention, and it's imperative she stays calm. I can only hope she doesn't reveal anything in front of Xavier. If he's guilty, alerting him now would be a grave mistake.
Stay strong, Enid.
Enid's POV
Why is he here? I thought Wednesday said they caught him! Did they get the wrong guy?!
The sight of Xavier is making it impossible to focus. The pain is intensifying. I'm starting to feel faint.. No! Stay strong Enid! You need to stay strong so you- so I can tell Wednesday what happened.
I can't say anything now. I'll wait till we get to the hospital.. if we make it there with him driving. But blabbering about what happened with him in the car would only increase the chances of us driving off a cliff. Just make it to the hospital. Stay awake, Enid. I need to stay awake.
Xavier's POV
I wonder when Enid will try and tell Wednesday what happened? What is she waiting for?
It doesn't matter. Mother's plan will work. Soon enough, Enid will be out of the picture, and Wednesday will finally-fully and truly-be mine.
No One's POV
When they arrive at the hospital, Wednesday explains Enid's injuries to the staff, her voice sharp and efficient as always. The doctors take Enid—half-conscious now—into a room, leaving a visibly worried Wednesday standing in the hallway with Xavier, who remains eerily quiet.
Wednesday's POV
How could I have overlooked Xavier? He and Enid clearly weren't on the best terms. Not to mention they both hold.. emotions for me. He should have been high on my suspect list.
Have my own emotions clouded my judgment? I never harbored the romantic interest in him that he so desperately wanted, but I did consider him a friend of sorts. Could that have blinded me?
I've let my emotions overpower me far too much lately.. My thoughts are interrupted by a doctor approaching me.
"Are you Wednesday?"
"I am."
"Your friend is going to be fine. She has some stitches in her back, but nothing too severe. You'll need to help her apply this cream to the area daily, preferably around 6 PM, to keep the wound clean. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Good. She's awake and has been asking for you. Follow me."
Enid's POV
Wednesday enters the room, and suddenly I'm overwhelmed. My nerves are all over the place. Part of me wants to scream about why tf Xavier isn't in handcuffs, and the other part of me is just giddy about Wens confessing her love for me.. still hoping she didn't mean it in our bestie way.
"Wens," I blurt out, "why the hell is Xavier not in jail?!"
Wednesday's POV
So my suspicions were correct.
"How was he involved?" I ask.
Enid's POV
What does she mean, 'how was he involved'? He stabbed me in the back—that's how!
"Wens, he's the one who stabbed me! And kidnapped me!"
Wednesday's POV
Xavier? But he was with us during the search for Enid. And Thing saw Rodriguez do it.
Unless...
"Enid, was Mr. Rodriguez involved in this at all?"
She looks confused. "Who? Oh, wait—you mean our teacher? No?"
"I see."
Enid's POV
What's that supposed to mean?!
"Wednesday, what's going on?"
"I'm just thinking."
About what?!
"You believe me about Xavier, though, right?"
"I do."
Good. For a second there, I thought she didn't. But what's going through that mind of hers now?
