Today's chapter is dedicated to hypedaddy thank you for being active and reading this story ❤️
This chapters question is: who is your favorite character(s) on 13RW? Mine is clearly Zach and I love him so much.
Hope you guys enjoy this chapter :)
"Come on Indi it wasn't your fault" Zach said as he held me in his lap.
"Clearly it is Zach if she talked about it in these tapes" I said quietly into his chest.
"Listen to me" he said as he cupped my cheeks in the palm of his hands, holding me head to look at him. "It is not your fault. Hannah chose to do what she did" he said softly.
"I know, but maybe if I didn't yell at her, maybe we'd still be friends and she would still be here" I said as a tear fell down my face.
"Baby you never know what could've happened, let's listen to the rest of the tapes, see what everyone else did" he offered. I nodded softly and continued to play the rest of the tapes.
"Bryce raped Jessica... and Hannah seen the whole thing... and Justin let it happen" I said quietly as I paused Justin's second tape.
"We don't know if it's true" Zach said looking down at me.
"Why would she lie?" I asked him.
"I don't know Indi" he sighed, running his hand through his hair.
"Hannah said that whoever receives these tapes are on them, they go in order right? That means everyone we've heard so far, has heard them. Including Justin and Jessica. So we can ask them about it, on Monday after school" he said to me.
I nodded softly before listening to the rest of the tapes.
"I told you there were more stories about the night of Jessica's party, so here it goes."
"Dude You're leaving?" Jeff asked Clay as we stood outside of Jessica's house.
"Uh, yeah, I kinda am" clay spoke.
I looked over to Jeff "looked like shit was happening in there for you" he said.
"Did it? Didn't it? I don't know man, I just I don't ever know anything" clay said as he threw his hands up in the air.
"That's why you got me man" Jeff said to Clay who looked like he wanted nothing more than to leave and go home.
"I know" Clay sighed.
"Whatever happened in there, just give her a minute. Then go back inside, and just find her" I said softly towards Clay.
I knew Jeff was talking about Hannah because I had seen them go up to a room earlier.
"I'm going home" Clay said towards the two of us.
"Just hang with me for awhile man, I'm going on a beer run soon. Come with me" Jeff tried convincing Clay.
"You're driving?" Clay wearily asked.
"Coca-cola my friend. Two beers, two hours ago. I'm good" Jeff said to Clay who wasn't very fond of the idea of Jeff driving.
"No, thanks Jeff but I'm going to take a long walk home and consider the wreckage that is my life" Clay spoke as he began walking away.
"You're a funny guy Clay" Jeff said with a smile.
"So I've been told"
"See you Monday?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah" Clay softly replied before leaving the party.
"Hey I'll see you Later Ind" Jeff said wrapping his arms around me.
"Okay bubs" I said as I hugged him back.
That was the last night I seen Jeff.
I stopped the tapes with tears flowing down my cheeks "they were the ones who knocked down the stop sign" I cried.
"Sheri didn't call and-and my brother is dead because of it" I said, choking on my words in the process.
Zach looked sympathetically towards me and pulled me into his chest.
I pulled around the corner with Zach, who I was driving home from the party.
I seen police lights and got out of my car to see Clay talking to some people who were on the sight.
"Indigo" Clay said walking up to me.
"What happened?" I asked, turning my head to look at the scene of the crash.
My heart dropped once my eyes landed on the familiar car.
"Jeff" I cried rushing towards the smashed car.
"Ms you can't be here, this is a crime scene" I heard as a police man came up and tried to pull me away from the car.
"Where is he? Where's my brother" I cried towards the man.
I turned my head to see my brother lying on a gurney, being wheeled towards the ambulance.
"Jeff" I cried rushing over to his body.
"Indigo come on" I heard Zach's sympathetic voice behind me as he placed his hands on my arms.
I pushed him off of me "come on Jeff, wake up. Please you need to wake up" I cried bringing my hands to his bloody face.
"Please Jeff" I cried, setting my head on his lifeless chest.
"You need to leave" I heard the same police officer.
I let out a cry as Zach tried pulling me away from my brothers body.
"He's gone" I cried as Zach pulled me into his chest to stop me from seeing anything else.
"He's gone"
So I've had this chapter planned since I began writing this story, and I wasn't going to write it until later on in the story but I decided to do it now.
I'm in school writing this and I actually started tearing up because Jeff deserved so much better then what he got :(
Anyways I hope you like this story, sorry the chapters are short, I'm making them short so I can write 5-10 chapters every few days instead of just a really long chapter each week, but if you guys would rather have that, let me know.
