Adrienne

Chapter 11: Grams

After a little while, she woke up.

"Adrienne?" Said Brandon.

"Yeah, what the fuck just happened?" Asked Adrienne.

"Somebody knocked you out... Doesn't your arm hurt?" Asked Aaron.

"Yeah, it hurts like hell!" Said Adrienne and looked at her arm. "What? Help him or he dies?"

"Who do you think he is talking about?" Asked Brandon.

"He's talking about Carl isn't he and if I don't you, Brandon are probably going to die..." Said Adrienne as a tear started to go down her cheek.

"Adrienne..." Said Brandon and took her hand. "It's going to be alright!"

"No, it doesn't look like it!" Said Adrienne crying.

"It will!" Said Brandon.

"If it had worked... Maybe this wouldn't be happening!" Mumbled Adrienne to herself.

"Oh, come on baby... Don't ever say that again! Please!"! Said Brandon and opened his arms.

Adrienne walked over to him and hugged him. She began to cry even more.

Isabella looked at Aaron sadly. Aaron was nearly breaking down.

"Aaron, are you alright?" Asked Isabella.

He walked out of the living room and into the kitchen.

"No, i'm not alright... My best friend or one of them is crying because she could lose her boyfriend, my other best friend if she doesn't help the guy who is suspected of the murder of my grandma... How will she recover from that when it's over? I'm just scared she won't..." Said Aaron.

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Isabella.

"What if she won't make it or try that again?!" Said Aaron.

"I'll talk to her if you want?" Said Isabella.

"Thanks... Maybe!" Said Aaron.

"Should we check out how they're doing?" Asked Isabella.

"Yeah, sure..." Said Aaron.

They walked in the living room.

Adrienne opened up her phone and texted Carl to see if that would work.

"If you see this can you tell me where you're at?"

She began to think about how she would save him. She wrote down the ideas she had.

"How do we even begin to find him?" Asked Brandon.

"I know a hiding spot he used to hide at, it's little far from the school but you can see it from there!" Said Adrienne.

"Okay... That's a good start!" Said Isabella.

She got a text. She opened up the phone and read the text:

"I'm at my old hiding spot... I'll be good here for a couple of days I think..."

"K. I can't meet u tomorrow... But what about monday? "She sent the reply.

"That should be ok... What did he do to u?" Sent he back.

"He knocked me out and cut a message on my arm: Help him or he dies..."

"Oh, i'm terribly sorry..."

"I'm just helping u so my boyfriend will live!"

"Yes... I know..."

"First of all, ur 7 years older than me. Second of all ur arrested for murder... At least suspected with one..."

"Wait... Do u believe me?"

"No... Idk... Maybe..."

"Wow... I would've never guessed that..."

"Huh... Ok, I gotta go..."

"Bye."

"Yeah... Uh bye...."

"Brandon can you drive me to the police? Now!" Asked Adrienne.

"Yeah... Sure?!" Said Brandon confused.

"Okay good! Let's go." Said Adrienne.

They walked outside and got into his car.

"Adrienne? What is it? What do you need to tell the police?" Asked Brandon.

"He didn't murder her!" Said Adrienne.

"How do you know?"

"He sent me a text when I sent: First of all, you're 7 years older than me. Second of all you're arrested for murder... At least suspected with one... He sent back: Wait... Do you believe me? I just know he didn't do it!"

"Okay, I believe you but you have to have a reason in order to substantiate the case!"

"Yeah... I forgot about that... I'll just have to make something up!"

"You can try but... There is a possibility that won't work!"

"Brandon! I'm not going to let you die... Even if it means I have to lie to the police and save a kind of creepy guy to save you then that's what i'm going to do!" Said Adrienne and looked him in the eyes.

"Thank you... But you can't risk your life by meeting them..." Just to save me!

"I'm going to do it Brandon... I'm not going to let anybody else die because of me!"

"Other? "

"Grams..."

"Adrienne, that's not your fault!"

"Yes it is!"

"Adrienne, don't that to yourself! You don't deserve that!"

"Yes... I do..."

"No!"

There was just silence for a couple of minutes till they arrived at the police station.

"Come on... Do you still want to go in?" Asked Brandon and stroke her shoulder.

"Yeah..." Said Adrienne.

They walked out of the car and into the station.

"How can I help you?" Asked the woman who was working.

"Can we see the chief?" Asked Adrienne.

"Well can you tell me what this is in reference to?" Asked the woman.

"Carl Brown didn't commit murder!" Said Adrienne.

"How do you know that?" Asked the woman.

" I just know! Can we please talk to the chief?" Asked Adrienne.

"I'll see what I can do. Please take a seat next to that door." Said she and pointed at chairs next to the door into the chief's office.
