They walk towards us determined looks on their faces.
Little did they know
"You have some nerve-"
"I know everything now", I say cutting off Sierra.
All of their eyes widen and their faces pale. Silence rings throughout the entire room.
"I know that you all think I drugged Izzy and the truth", I say my face completely serious.
After I say this I see all of their faces revert back to normal almost as if they were relieved about something.
"What gave you the impression that I would ever do something so heinous", I say staring directly into the eyes of Sierra and Carter.
My voice held a certain authoritative tone that scares even me, I don't think I've ever unlocked this certain side of myself and based on the way I'm feeling right now I think I wanna keep this side of me locked up.
They falter a bit and I can see it in their eyes.
Those two were the main ones who knew my character, the closest to family. They truly made me question how it all went wrong.
I had yet to deal with Izzy and Rick.
"No seriously tell me would it make sense for the person I am or sorry 'I was' to have drugged Izzy?, for what gain. What purpose", I say making a heavy silence fall over the room.
Suddenly Mia speaks up another person in the group who doesn't seem to have a voice majority of the time.
"Wait you're saying you don't know anything about drugging Izzy...that means we- we", Mia says before also getting cut off.
"Mia shut the fuck up", Rick says making his presence obviously more visible. His voice visibly sends a chill down her spine.
Mia listens and gradually moves to the background fading. They've already replaced Demi.
I take this chance and get a good look at Rick, he looks even worse than usual. Rough and almost off the rails.
Why were they sticking beside him?
"Summer just cut the crap Izzy, Rick and Demi told us themselves after the incident", Carter says with an annoyed sigh breaking me out of my thoughts.
"I can't believe this bitch", Sierra remarks with a scoff.
I block them all out this time focusing on Izzy and her body language.
She bites her fingernails while darting her wide doe eyes that I've always been a bit jealous of.
"Izzy told you huh?", I question Izzy's eyes finding mine and freezing as if they've been caught.
"Izzy can you even remember anything from that time", I ask getting to a point.
"Yes Summer she can remember in clear detail", Sierra says more calmer than usual.
It was like she was coming to realization.
"Of fucking course she can what the hell type of question is that, You SCARRED HER SUMMER!", Austin adds speaking up.
I hardly knew Austin if I was being honest, he was only saying shit that would prove my point even more nonetheless.
"I wasn't asking you bitch", I say looking back to Izzy.
Izzy looked terrified.
"You know Demi had just been on the phone with me and told me everything concerning the situation", I said my voice echoing.
"The truth", I say
Confused looks pass between some of them yet I press on.
"Izzy what were you wearing?", I ask.
It's silent.
"She was wearing-
"Of course you know Rick but I wasn't asking you dumbass", I say glaring at him the tension being so visibly thick.
"Uh-...um", Izzy starts.
I feel bad for the poor thing, being gaslighted by her abuser due to fear. While also being surrounded by stupid people.
"I remember some flashes here and there- um but uh", she says her breathing getting heavier as she stutters and stumbles.
"She doesn't remember most things", I say.
"Then how did you tell them what really happened?, who even told you?", I ask.
"Who told you your own story?", I question.
a tear escapes Izzy's eye before she quickly wipes it.
She knew it was Rick and she knew I knew.
Ricks face loses color and something changes in his eyes like he's finally been backed up into a tiny corner.
I think that's why he chose to snap.
"Summer shut the hell up if you know what's good for you", Rick begins to walk up to me but gets stopped immediately,
Nolan, Mikey and Kai who had been closely watching get up and shove him back with immense force as he approaches me.
"Don't", Kai warns sternly.
Rick grits his teeth and balls his fist with frustration.
And with that I resume my interrogation.
"I recorded Demi's phone call", I say a smile coming to my face.
"She had told me many interesting things", I say.
"Demi had actually added on to the story after Rick told you all that I drugged Izzy if I'm correct?", I question.
They're all quiet and it's amazing watching the pieces come together and their minds realizing it visibly on their faces.
I take out my phone playing the recording.
The horror after is more than palpable.
By the end of it pale faces are everywhere, Rick being the worst of them all.
"It's fake guys.", he says rushed.
I scoff out of disbelief because everything about that was so painfully obvious and real.
"Remember that we're too far in", he suddenly says in an odd cryptic way.
What? Is this really happening
Now it's as if he's talking to them more than me. It was like the rest of us weren't even here.
What happens next leaves us all unsettled
"Yeah it's obviously fake", Sierra agrees her voice shaking.
What the fuck
Something else was clearly going on here, something beyond even me now.
Izzy looks sick to her stomach, like she's constantly reliving a nightmare.
"She's talking out of her ass let's go", Rick says walking off with not even a glance back at any of them.
They all follow him much quieter than they were when they came in.
It's like he knew they would follow him, but why?
The door to the center closes after they scurry out and we all look at each other.
"Kai let's go, your driving"
I know what I had to do
