I woke up to the sound of voices surrounding me. And smelt fresh linen.
I was back in the hospital. I looked up to see Officer Waley staring in my eyes. My body couldn't even flinch, I just continued to stare at him. "Blasted girl. You almost got yourself killed!" He yells in my face. "I told you we shouldn't have trusted her." Officer Webster. "Carrie. Where's Carrie?"
After everything that's all I can ask? Where's Carrie? "Oh your friend? Over there." Officer Webster asks and I turn my head and look over at her uneasy body. She was sleeping. "Where's everyone else?" I whisper. "Edwards body was recovered and taken to The Morgue. I'm so sorry for your loss." He whispers. I swallow hard and look down. I couldn't even process that thought. "Who dropped me off?" I whisper.
"You don't remember? Your sister." Officer Waley said stepping back.
I saw Jessica looking at me with soft eyes and a smile. "Jess." I croak. "Oh God Ells. Are you okay?" She whispers and I nod. "How's our little bump doing?" I ask, referring to my niece and or nephew. She smiled and rubbed her stomach. "Fine. Ellie about-" I stopped her. "I know. I know. Lets just not talk about that. Why am I here?" I ask trying to change the subject. "You didn't take your medicine." Officer Webster says matter of factly. I frown and press my lips together. "Also there's something you should know." Jessica says and I look at her.
Oh Fuck!
I was released on terms that I take my pills every other hour.
My eyes were still weak with tears and I couldn't process that Eddie was gone.
I felt my heart start to cave again. But once I started thinking about who did it....
Ant-
I couldn't even finish his name. "What are you thinking about?" Jess asked me as we sat in her car. "Everything. Brittany's dead, Courtney's dead. Eddies dead. What's next?" I whisper and begin to feel tears stream down my face. She looks at me with soft concerning eyes. "I mean. Anthony killed Eddie." I whispered, straining the last word in pain. "I don't know why he killed his own brother." Jessica said.
I blinked back and I sighed, "Wait what?" I blurt.
She looks at me confused, "What?" She whispers. "What you just said." I say breathing deeply. Her eyes widen and she blinks at me, "You didn't know." She says in a hushed tone. "B-Brothers?" I mumble and close my eyes. "I'm going to lose my mind." I groan and rub my face. She rubs my back, "Look we've been through a lot. And you're doing fine." She whispers.
"No!" I scream and feel my hands begin to shake. "No! I'm not fine! I'm not okay! I have nothing left! You hear me? Nothing! Everyone betrayed me! You even betrayed me! I was raped! I had my neck fucking slit! Do I look okay?!" I scream at her and sob uncontrollably. " Her eyes looked strained and her nose was red from her tears.
"I feel so alone." I whisper and cover my face in my hands and I feel her arms around me. "I'm here." She whispers. "How can I trust you?" I whisper, trying to calm my tears that seemed to come out like a whirlwind. "I've been here. Since birth. You're my big sister." She whispers, running her hand through my hair. "Plus who else is going to help me tell mom and dad they're going to be grandparents?" She asks and I chuckle and sit up and wipe my eyes.
"Its big news for all of us." I whisper and look out the window. "What do you want to do?" She asks me. "Go back." I whisper and glance at her.
"Go back?" She echoes.
"Yes...go back."
Going back to the abandoned house was a better idea than what my sister thought. I had everything planned out precisely and if it went through .
Everything would come to the light.
I told Jessica to wait in the car with 911 on speed dial. I wanted her away from the scene as soon as possible.
I wasn't as nervous when I flew down the stairs of the basement.
I didn't have my gun and with the information I was carrying.
They couldn't hurt me.
There was a blood stains all over the floor and I noticed Jeremy's body on the ground.
"Jeremy." I whispered and h didn't move.
Deep breaths El.
"Jeremy." I whispered again and slowly his foot began to move. I sighed and ran over to him.
He had blood all over his stomach and bruises on his face.
"Jeremy." I whispered and touched his face subtly and he flinched. "Ellie?" He mumbled.
"Yeah it's me." I whispered and the corners of my lip twitched into a smile. "Why are you back?" He whispers, blinking.
"Unfinished business." I whisper and smile slowly.
"It's dangerous Ellie." He whispers. "You care?" I ask.
His eyes gloss and he swallows deeply. "I'm sorry." He mumbled and I flinch back.
It caught me by surprise. "W-What?" I stutter.
"I'm sorry. For everything." He mumbles and his eyes flutter and his chest raises slowly . Don't die. Oh god don't die. "I know. I- I forgive you. You'll be okay. I'll get you to the hospital-" he stops me, "No. Ellie it's too late." Tears pierce my eyes. "You'll be okay." I whisper, my bottom lip trembling. "David isn't as strong as you think. Once you find his Achilles heel. It's over." He says and tries to chuckle but its cut short.
"Will you do me a favor?"he whispers, and his eyes drift closed. "Anything." I say almost in a whisper. My heart was breaking again. Just when I thought it couldn't anymore.
"Tell.." He pauses and his eyes flutter. "Tell Jessica..if its a boy. Name him Jeremy. Please." He whispers and I smile through tears and nod. His eyes close halfway and he breaths unevenly. "Look at me." He whispers. I slowly lift my head to gaze into his hazel eyes.
"I always did love you," He whispers and his eyes flutter closed.
I swallow and look down at his body and inhale sharply. Tears gathered in my eyes and I stood to my feet.
"Rest easy Jeremy." I whisper and turn around the corner.
He was in peace now. That's all that mattered.
I slowly crept down the long hallway that was lit by the light above.
I was trying to hide my fear and I had so many emotions running through me that I didn't even notice.
I began hearing voice and pressed myself close to the wall.
"Our flight leaves in an hour." I heard. It was Nick.
"You chose the right thing." He added and I heard a sigh. "I know." The voice sounded unsure and I realized.
It was Anthony..
My heart closed and I struggled swallowing.
"She'll get over it." I heard Nick says. "Or not." Anthony muttered.
"You're overreacting." Nick says and I heard a gun reload.
"No. No I'm not," my eyes widen and I notice Anthony's about to shoot...
Out of impulse, I burst through the door and sure enough Anthony is gripping his gun and its pointed to Nicks head.
"Anthony." I gasp.
"Eleanor." He says, shooting up on me. I freeze and look at Nick who's hands are up. We all stand there, looking at each other.
Would he shoot Nick in front of me? He did shoot my best friend in front of me though.
What would happen next?
"You're making a big mistake." I hear from behind me. I don't have to turn around to know it's David. I hear a gun reload and freeze. "Drop the gun or ill shoot her brain out." I feel the cold head of the gun on the back of my head and freeze.
Oh fuck.
My bottom lip trembles and I look at Anthony who looks at me.
"You can't shoot me." I whisper. And Anthony freezes and gives me a look that says 'stop tempting him'
"If you have debt to pay, you can get it postponed." I whisper.
"Yeah but only if..."Anthony's voice trails off and I use all of my strength to turn around.
"You can't shoot me because I'm pregnant."
