Liz's P.O.V

"I think you just yanked my hair on purpose."I said,irritated.

"No,I didn't.You don't effing know how to sit still.I have done this many times before,okay."He replied (as I imagine he would be )glaring at me.

"Ew.Please tell me this is a different cloth than what you use in your activities."I said,gagging.

"Yeah.Sure."He said,smirking.(He would be,I'm sure.)

I sighed.He set me back comfortably in the seat and closed my door and went to his side.

I heard the car roaring.I adjusted my head on the car window.

And that's the last thing I remember.

"James was trying to attack Matt.I began throwing punches here and there to stop them from attacking him anymore.He was shot already.His blood pooled around him.
James got to him and shot him again.
I heard a loud scream.It was mine.I rushed to him and began reviving him.James tugged at my arm...."

I was being shaken by someone.

"Ouch!You're fine.You're alright.Elizabeth,It's me,Sebastian."I gasped and woke up and saw Sebastain waking me up.

"Sorry!I thought you were someone else."I said adjusting to the light and shifting uncomfortably.Before he could say or ask anything...

"Is everything alright,Miss?"A police officer's voice startled me and robbed of all the memories of my nightmare and the remains of my sleepiness.

"Yeah.I had a bad dream.He was trying to wake me up,Officer.He's a friend."I said with a smile.

"Sure."He said,but he wasn't glaring at Sebastian anymore.He was looking at me,precisely my now open coat that was tied before revealing my stripper outfit.Before I could have tied it back,
Sebastian followed his line of sight and found it back to me.Well,my oh-so-revealing outfit.

I think I blushed with embarrasment.Out of the corner of my eye,I saw Sebastian smirk at me.

I got off the car.I was wearing heels.High heels.I had a revealing outfit under my coat.

Shit.The Officer must have thought I was a...

I saw him reach for this walkie-talkie thingy.And I said the first thing that came to my mind.

"Sir,just to clear any misunderstanding,it's my boyfriend's birthday today."I said blushing.

I just shook my head down and took Sebastian's hand and dragged him forward to avoid any other weirdly personal questions and answers.

The Officer muttered,"Kids these days!"and drove away in his patrol car.

"Boyfriend,huh?"Sebastian said.
"Shut up."I said,still embarrassed.

"Okay.He went away with your personal secret.Now atleast let me lock the car."He said bringing me to a stop in front of him.(I was dragging him.)

After crossing a few shops,we found the City Morgue.I just stopped at the enterance and looked around hoping to find Linda here only.

But to my not-so-lucky-luck,she wasn't there.

"We have to go inside."I said to Sebastian,who was staring at someone's dead body which was being brought in.

"Yep.Let's go."He said shaking his head.

As we entered,it was like a whole different world.Nothing was gray here,just pure black.
It was quieter and a very irritating smell of steriliser,used to clean the floors wafted.I scrunched up my nose.

We went up to the desk and I said,"Matt Gringotts."

"Ma,am,are you immediate family?"She asked and raised an eyebrow at us.

"Um.."I was lost for words.Maybe it was the fact that I'll have to see him on that cold iron table.I lost my confidence,my voice.

"Yes.She's his sister and I'm her husband."Sebastian said and smiled at the nurse.

"A.T-217.The last room on the right.I'll need an I.D."She said,batting her eyelashes at Sebastian.

Sebastian handed her his driver's licence and slipped his hand around my waist.

"Thank you."I whispered.
"No problem."He said and led us through the corridor.

There were a lot of rooms,all had blinds but those blinds couldn't stop the wails of the people.The families.

I began to walk faster.I think Sebastian just put his hood on and followed me.

We turned right and saw the A.T-217.
I gulped and saw Linda rushing over to me.She hugged me and cried on my shoulder for a while.I couldn't move.
There was a black body-sized bag on the table.And the room had a lot of drawers like cabinets.

Linda was still using me as support.I rubbed her back to comfort her.She was repeating again and again"My son died a hero."as if she was trying to console herself.

"Mrs.Gringotts,sorry to interrupt,ma,am,you need to say your goodbyes now."The doctor said.

"Yeah."Linda sniffed.

"Do you wanna see him?"Linda said,looking up at me.

I couldn't say anything.I don't know what I was thinking.I nodded.

She nodded in response to the doctor.As I made my way to the table,the doctor unzipped the bag.

I went up beside the table.I think my eyes were closed.I could smell a familiar cologne behind me.Sebastian.

I opened my eyes to see-Matt,lying there.All pale and his lips all blue.A single clean shot in his chest.His eyes closed.

I was still.I couldn't hear anything.The next thing I did surprised me.I ran.I turned and I ran fast.Faster.Through the crowd.
I went outside and turned into the alley and empty all the contents of my lunch.

Somebody held up my hair and patted my back.

I turned to see Sebastian.

I released my hand from his and leaned against the wall.

"I have seen bodies before,Sebastian.I have killed people too before."I said and looked at him.

"I know.You're Elizbeth Steele.And he is your best friend.Was."He said looking at me.

"He was."I said,smiling.

"We should get back."I said and started walking.

I reached in my pocket and emptied the mint box in my hand and popped them in my mouth.
