Broadchurch (an Alec Hardy Fanfic)

Blood Lines Always Return

     I walked on the beach slowly trying to remember anything and everything when I saw him. I reached for my phone and realized it wasn't there. I snuggle farther into my jacket as I walked closer. "Hello?" I called out, the guy looked over to me and I saw him. Elli's husband. We didn't talk much. Elli
And I barely talked. I wasn't a very social person, and the only family I was ever close to was the Latimer's. His eyes widened and he dropped the boat. He started walking towards me hand outstretched and I backed away. He put his hands up and I suddenly had a flash back just like this. About Danny's death. He was there. I was backed up into the cliff with my back pressed against it. I was about to scream before he cut the few short steps to me and placed his hand over my mouth. I screamed and clawed at his hands. He dragged me over to the boat and pushed me down to the ground holding onto me to make sure I didn't run. I bite his hand and he pulled away. "You were there! You killed Danny Latimer!" I screamed, he shook his head with tears in his eyes and I reached for the gun I always had with me. I got it and pushed him off me and held him at gun point. In one fast move he moved my hand just as I shot and grabbed the gun before pining me to the ground taking my breath away. I gasped for breath as he pressed the tip of the gun into my stomach. I was crying now. I could do nothing. He was going to kill me and my baby.

"It wasn't me! I didn't mean to!" He shouted, I cried silently and tried to push him off of me.

"Please don't kill my baby. Please don't do it," I sobbed. His face softened as he looked down at my stomach. I continued to cry and he put me into the boat. "Please don't do it. Please." After that I didn't pay much attention to what was happening. I curled up into a ball and sobbed. I heard him say one thing before leaving me.

"If you survive through this you can't tell anyone who I am. If you do I will murder everyone you hold dear. Paul, Alec, Chloe, and everyone else too." Then I smelt smoke, but at the moment I couldn't bring myself to care. I was too sickly. I stood up and swayed a bit and saw fire surrounding me. I saw ambulance in the distance and I coughed roughly before waving my hands and screaming frantically. Then I started to cough violently. I fell over and saw blood. My vision was starting to get hazy and I fasted blood in my mouth. It tasted strange. I didn't like it. I tried standing up again the boat shook and I heard distant voices screaming and shouting. I didn't even bother to get up again. Instead I laid there.

I couldn't get up without falling over and I couldn't breath without feeling like death. Maybe it would have been better off if I died right here right now. No more drama.
No more baby. Alec wouldn't have to worried about another child or about marrying me. All that follows when I'm near is trouble. Only trouble and death. So I didn't get up. If I lived then I would take it as a sign that that's how it was supposed to be. So I closed my eyes and let fate decide for me.

My eyes fluttered open. Everything that surrounded me was bright. I felt sick to my stomach. I didn't have one of those "and then everything from before came flooding back" moments. What I had was more like "what was I thinking?" moment. I was going to attempt and sit up but I decided against it. I knew who killed Danny, but I couldn't tell anyone. The most I would say is that he was a male. I couldn't say anymore than that. I couldn't risk it. He would get caught eventually. So I went to close my eyes again when someone burst brought the door. I looked over and saw a girl in converses, skinny jeans, and a cute long sleeve blue and black shirt. She had her long dark brown pulled back into a meat pony tail and she smirked at me with the same playful look I would never forget. Bella. "Honey, baby, sister, babe I thought you would call me when you got a boyfriend! You're such a bitch!" She exclaimed, I chuckled and then coughed. She rolled her eyes and shoved me a but so there would be room for her to sit next to me. She kicked off her converses and climbed under the covers next to me. "They wanted to put you in that rag hospital dress thing but I said no and then that hit guy of yours argued with me and was all like 'who even are you she's my responsibility.' And then I said 'well she's my sister bitch' and then he looked at Paul who just shrugged and so I won."

     "I missed you," I whispered. She laughed loudly and I giggled.

     "Oh come on you've been making enough trouble for the both of us," she said. I shrugged and she sighed before leaning on my shoulder. "I'm sorry I wasn't here before."

     "It's okay," I replied and she shook her head.

     "No it's not. You could have been murdered," she whispered.

     "You had things to sort out. I mean you had just had a kid and you needed to leave. I understand why you never came back," I whispered. "Having a kid has got to be hard. Especially without someone to keep you and the kid safe."

     "I had you. I shouldn't have left when I did. I don't know how you can forgive me for taking off four years ago. I missed you so much. I wanted to come back but I just didn't have the guts," she said.

     "I love you. No matter what.
More than anyone...when do I get to meet little Ethan?" I asked, she smiled and sat up.

     "After your out of the hospital. I'm back for good now." I smiled widely and hugged her.

     "Wait. So Alec was actually waiting?" I asked, she looked confused and nodded.

     "Yeah he's out there right now with a bunch of others. I told them I had to pee," she said. I pointed to the wheel chair and as if reading my mind jumped up and got it. Bella, my twin sister came home to me.
