"HEY IT'S HANNAH, Hannah Baker. Don't adjust whatever device you're hearing this on, it's me live and in stereo. No return engagements no encore and this time absolutely no requests. So get a snack, settle in, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life, or more importantly...why my life ended. And if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why."
Chrissy could barley control the sob that escaped her lips, her hand reaching up to cover her mouth. She was one of the reasons Hannah Baker ended her life?
"I'm not saying which tape brings you into this story, but fear not, if you received this lovely little box your name will pop up...I promise."
Oh god, Chrissy's head was spinning trying to process everything that had just been said from her fathers old boom box. She was trembling, her eyes permanently watered, her finger nails between her teeth out of nervousness.
How many people had already heard this?
What did she do?
Was it bad?
How many reasons are there?
"So Christina Jensen, step up, you are tape 0. I wouldn't exactly say you are a reason for my death, but you did something and there is also something you should know. But that won't come up until later, and remember you're being watched so keep listening."
The whole world stopped, she felt frozen as she paused the tape after almost every sentence to register the nightmare that was happening. The guilt that would later be on her shoulders for the rest of her life, and the curiosity for the next few tapes. What did she need to know? Why?
"Bet you're wondering what you did? It wasn't much, and I'm yet to apologize for the death of Jeff, but we'll get to that later."
Confusion. 'We'll get to that later'? What did Hannah know about Jeff's death?
"You were one of my first friends at the small town. You found me in the girl's bathroom after the picture of me leaked, you told me that there was also a picture of you in a few people's phones fully naked. I suppose you had it worse than me but yours wasn't sent out to everybody, but you didn't have to tell me about, you knew it wouldn't make me feel any better, you just wanted somebody else to know. You always tried to help me when I was down, tried to bring me back up. I'd say we developed a good friendship until that night..."
Chrissy released a breath, before pressing down the play button again.
"...I told you about the people you were associating with, I told you all your friends were bad news, but why would you even listen? They'd been friends with you for years, I didn't want to tell you what they'd done to me. To destroy your friendship, even though you at least deserved to have the knowledge of what happened to you, what happened to me."
