Oakland Bones

Season 1: Episode 4

Elias Rivers (POV)

A little slap on the wrist is an understatement for what I was going to do to Robert Love, for killing Cecelia. The motherfucker deserves to rot in hell for his unspeakable actions. I may have never met him, but when I do, he's going to wish he never met Cecelia.

Isabel: "It's not for certain."

Bullshit.

Isabel: "Elias stop being pissed, we don't know if he actually killed Cecelia."

Bullshit.

Isabel: "We don't know if Sarah Hills is telling us the truth. She's still a suspect to us, her face just screams guilty. She was the she devil of Middle School, I'm pretty sure she's capable of killing-"

I stopped walking, and held in a tear. The neighborhood around me was baron and had no sign of life. This was Cecelia's favorite neighborhood, and now I knew why.

Me: "Do you ever stop to think, maybe the obvious is the obvious?"

Isabel: "So? A lot of things are obvious, like you and Mitchell had a thing last summer, and the sky is blue."

Me: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Isabel: "Don't be so coy, Elias. I saw how he looked at you, and I guessed that maybe he would try to make a move. Then you guys got all blank the past year."

Me: "I'm not gay, Isabel."

Isabel: "A man doesn't have to be gay to love another man."

Me: "Isn't that the meaning of 'gay,' do I need to get the dictionary for you."

Isabel: "It also means happy, but whatever."

Me: "Still, Mitchell and I, did not have a thing."

Isabel: "You're such a bad liar."

Me: "Look, we just had a weird fall out after he did something, just don't ask me about it."

Isabel: "Fine, but I still think Sarah killed Cece."

Me: "You tell me this, why would she kill Cecelia?"

Isabel: "Um, first reason, Jealousy."

Me: "That's such a cliché reason, and if she was actually jealous of people being with her, why wouldn't she just kill the people that she was involved with, without her knowing, and they could continue on with their lesbian porn life."

Isabel: "Maybe she was sick of just being second to anyone, so she killed her to get over her?"

Me: "Okay, Isabel. Let's just worry about Robert Love now."

Isabel: "Yah, what kind of name is Robert Love?"

Me: "The kind you name your kid so he would never be suspected of sexual and physical abuse."

Isabel: "Can't it still be love, like even if you hit or hurt you're significant other?"

Me: "I'm pretty sure the love is gone once you resort to that."

Isabel: "Hey, I actually think you could love someone, even if they go all 'hit me baby one more time.'"

Me: "Name one scenario or example, where abuse works with a love in a relationship."

Isabel: "That's easy, Fifty Shades Of Grey."

Me: "That was barely love, the girl in those books only stayed with that abusive guy, obviously, because of his money."

Isabel: "So you think Robert Love, is rich?"

Me: "Sounds reasonable. By what Sarah said, it took a long time for Cecelia to leave him. Maybe it was because of his money."
