(Marcel's POV)

I saw Rachel's car pull up to my house and my mom and dad hugged me, and I walked out of the house. I looked different. I was wearing my brother's shirt that said Miami Dolphins on it, and his skinny jeans. I had in contacts. When i got to Rachel's car I realized I wasn't the only one who looked different.

"Ella?" She didn't say anything for a minute. I sat down next to her and she said "Hey Marcel you look different. Oh yeah well you call me Eleanor?" I looked out the window a minute for responding "Eleanor huh?" "Yeah I changed my look and I think being called Eleanor will make me seem more grown up you know?" I answered "Yeah I get it Ella-I mean Eleanor."

(Ella's POV)

Marcel was in a different mood. I couldn't understand it. I guess he's never worn skinny jeans before. They must of been WAY TOO TIGHT. I couldn't think about it. I had school now. I had to face it. My palms began to sweat as we pulled into the school parking lot. Marcel was biting his bottom lip. "Marcel i'm scared." "Yeah I am too." Rachel parked the car and turned around and looked at us "Okay Marcel and Eleanor stay together all day. I'll be with you at lunch and i'm in your student aide in your first period science class. Everything will be fine today."I looked at Rachel with my puppy dogs eyes and asked "Promise?" She smiled "Promise."

I didn't hold Marcel's hand going into school but everyone was quiet as I walked into school. I didn't know what was going on. When i got by the doors a few students opened them for Marcel and I. Then once we were inside everyone started clapping. 

I smiled "Thank you guys, Marcel and I are fine. We are happy to be here and alive."  

I walked to my locker with Marcel while Rachel went to hers. When i got to my locker I saw The jocks who used to make fun of Marcel and I. 

"Excuse me guys." "Oh my god Ella I am so sorry I didn't know I was in your way." I stepped to my locker and said "It's alright. So you guys aren't going to make fun of me?" He laughed "Of course not. We wanted to introduce our self. I'm Spencer the leader. Then Josh is my best friend. He is my sidekick or that's what everyone calls him that is." I said "Well you guys seem nice. I'm Ella as you know, but now people are calling me Eleanor. Then of course this is Marcel." Josh stood next to Spencer and said "Can we just call you Ella it's short and i'll be able to remember it." "Sure I guess so." 

That morning in science class I sat next to Marcel. Rachel sat in front by the teacher's desk and graded papers. I sat in class tapping my pencil on my arm like I used to do Marcel kept looking at the clock. I was getting worried about him. He never used to do this and he used to be focused on school work. 

By the time lunch got here I was so ready for it. I met up with Marcel and Rachel and we all three walked to lunch together. I was going to sit at the table I always did. Just with Marcel and Rachel. AS i was walking over there Spencer and Josh called me over. "Marcel Ella come over here." I walked over the table and said "Hey guys this is my sister Rachel may she join us?" Spencer said "Of course she can." 

During lunch Josh and Spencer were watching a video on there phone when the school television turned on. It was the news. The news board caster said "High school junior Damian Richards is still on the loose after committed at least 2 murders by the house of the ex missing teenagers Marcel and Ella. Richards goes to the same school as Marcel and Ella. Police are still trying to find him." Everyone in the lunch room looked at us.

Marcel looked at Spencer and Josh "So you guys know Damian?" Josh answered him "Yeah he was part of us. He was supposed to move then the next thing I knew he was on the news, he's killed people." Then it finally hit me "Marcel!!! He's the one who killed the guy by your house when he asked for money and he must of hired those two people to try to kill us. He must of had it planned then the other murder by your house must of been him as well."  Marcel said "Well holy shit I think you're right."

(Rachel's [POV)

Everything was making sense to me now. Everyone was finally playing a role in this case. After school was over I had to go Marcel's house to pick up Louis and go to shopping for a new car since his car was trashed. I also took Ella and Marcel home. "Louis is Marcel alright?" "Oh you noticed that too? Yeah I wanted to wear my clothes I let him, but I'm not for sure if he actually is alright or not. It's scaring me as well." "Well I didn't say anything to him neither did Eleanor, but Marcel has changed and Ella changed she wore my clothes contacts and she wants to be called by her real name Eleanor now." Louis smiled "Well I mean she did almost die and she's really stressed about school maybe she wanted to change." 

I took Louis out to buy a car. After looking for about 2 hours he finally found one he liked. It was just his truck like he had but this one was red. He liked it. He test drove it with me and then he bought it. 

It getting late that night and I kissed Louis goodnight "I love you so much Louis!" He hugged me and kissed me back "I love you too Rachel." 

I drove home and noticed my parents wern't home. I walked inside and found Eleanor and Marcel alseep together on our couch. I walked up quietly to my room and didn't make a sound.

(Ella's POV)

I opened my eyes and I realized I fell asleep on Marcel in my living room. I saw headlights coming through the curtains and noticed they were my parents. I grabbed Marcel's arm "Marcel get up my parents are home.He was half awake as I pulled him up the stairs "Rachel where can I put Marcel?" I guess in the closet." Marcel started laughing "ha ha once you tell me to come out i'll be coming out of the closet." He breath smelled like beer. Then i tasted it in mine. I pushed him into the closet and said "You're so drunk." 

Rachel looked at me "God you two smell like straight up beer." I laughed "I know." Then Rachel sprayed perfume on me and Marcel. When we learned my parents open the door downstairs Rachel ran and turned the light off. "Eleanor.." "Yeah Rach.? "Did you throw away your beer bottles downstairs.My eyes became wide open "Shit!!! I threw them in the trash can in the kitchen but mom always goes in there." I'll take the trash out. If you get rid of Marcel." "Rachel how the hell do you expect do that? He can't drive home. He doesn't have his license you can tell by what he did to Louis's car and he's drunk." "Okay i'll tell mom I feel sick and make her and dad get me medcine while they are there i'll take Marcel home."

(Rachel's POV)

I texted Louis "Hey im' taking your brother home soon. He's drunk. He texted back "Great again? Well i'll be waiting for him."

I went downstairs and went over to the trashcan in the kitchen he smelled horrible. Then my mom came in "Rachel what are you doing?" "Mom can you and dad go to the store I need medicine. My stomach hurts and I feel sick and this trash smell isn't helping." "Sure baby. We will be home soon." I took the trash out and ran up and got my sister and we pulled Marcel down to my car and I drove him home. 

The whole way home Marcel was singing rap songs, "Marcel you got a wonderful voice." "Well Rachel when you have a talented brother who plays guitar like mine then you outta have some talent." I arrived in Marcel's drive way and Louis came out and got Marcel. he got out of the car and said "Bye Eleanor i'll see you and dat ass of your's tomorrow at school." I laughed then Louis kissed me. Eleanor said "My god you guys are going to swallow each other."  I pulled my lips off Louis and gave Eleanor a death stare "Rachel Eleanor...Thank you for getting Marcel home safely I'll talk to you tomorrow." A we were pulling away Marcel was running toward Louis's new truck saying "NEW TRUCK!!" Louis said back to him "Yeah and you're not driving this one." My sister had a drunk boyfriend. She was drunk but not as bad as Marcel and had a responable boyfriend. Well we totally changed roles.
