The boy next door (Dylan O'Brien)

Chapter 38- last chapter

Ella's PoV

I woke up in hospital. I saw my mother leaning over me

"Baby your awake" she cheered with tears in her eyes. What happened. I just saw tubes everywhere and my stomach was hurting

"What happened" I breathed out. I was slightly confused and dazed but I needed answers. Dylan shot me I should have died

"I found a note from Dylan" she whispered "it said an address on it and then said sorry at the end, so we went to the address and well" her face cracked and she tried to compose herself

"We found you and Dylan. Dylan was head, he shot himself in the head but he only shot you in the stomach, so we found you called an ambulance, waited a day or two and now here you are" she said as a tear fall down her cheek yet she smiled. I found that odd yet comforting. Dylan was finally dead and gone from my life. I was free from his torment and rape but what I found odd was why did he shoot me in the stomach. He knew that it most likely wouldn't kill me, which it didn't. I mean maybe it was an aim thing but then again why not try to ensure I was dead.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and a man came in

"Hello I'm PC Jackson I need to just ask you a few questions. Also the Dr who conducted Dylan's post mortem (IM OFF TO SEE TWO POST MORTEMS LIKE GIRL YASS) found a note for you" he said. a note? A note, this ment my theory was correct. Dylan didn't want to kill me, but why?

The police man came and sat next to me and my mother began to leave the room.

He began to ask questions and I told him about the Dylan I knew, the one who was a murder and hurt me. I told him that he told me why and that he wanted us both to die and how his parents were dead in the house next door.

When he was done asking me questions he handed me a scrunched up paper saying "for Ella" on it. The police man then began to leave and I looked down.

I slowly began to un-scrunch the paper and began to read

To Ella

I bet you didn't die did you. Wow a surviver well done. I told you everything and that's made me lose my ground and I thought it's best if we both died. Destroy that secret. The reason I didn't do it alone or before is that I was too scared. For a long time j wanted to escape this world, but I couldn't bring myself to it. I'd kill other and envy it so I'd hurt them, just so another human felt my pain. So I knew I wasn't alone. But then I realised you didn't deserve to die. You never wronged me, in fact at times I feel like you somehow saved me. I don't know what else to write and I feel like I'm humiliating myself. I'm suppose to me a monsters yet inside I'm a fucking mouse. I'm sorry Ella, I know sorry won't cut it just take my forgiveness please. Give your mother my best wishes. Bye Ella

I slowly scrunched the paper back up as a tear fell down my eye. My mum walked back in

"What's that, is that the letter" she asked. I turned to her and nodded

"Deep down he had a lot of issues, and I guess he couldn't deal with it so he did what he did" I said nodding slightly

"Poor boy, I wish I knew I could have helped him" she sighed quietly and I shook my head slightly

"He beyond helps reach, anyway it's over now" I whispered and threw the note in the bin

It's finally fucking over
