5.0 Serial Killer

Chapter 21

"Will hold on," I said. " I don't think Pedroia could kill anyone. Honestly, I think they all were retards."

"Just listen," Will said. " Caitlyn obviously was stupid. She was sitting on the edge of the cafe balcony railing, on her phone probably, not paying attention to herself. So she fell. She was dating me at the time right? So when I went out with Livian. He sabotaged the cooking station in class before he left school the day prior. Pedroia must have heard from school gossip that Ana and I were going out to eat. So because he's friends with the "Waun-a-eat" manager, he asked for nuts in the flavor of the day."

"Ok," I said, " What about when I almost died?"

"Well, I don't know yet. What if he put something on your plate of shellfish you ate that day at lunch, or snuck into the hospital and tankard with your medicine!" Will said.

I rolled my eyes and rubbed my face.

"Will, he probably did nothing because the shellfish took care of it. I didn't even want shellfish in the first place, remember? I mean sure I don't remember what happened, but I was unconscious for a while. And apparently I banged my head".

"Damn." Will said.

"I think all those girls are stupid. That's my theory." I said.

"I still think he did it." Will said.

"Will," I said, "Caitlyn sat on the edge of the railing: dumb. Livian in AP chemistry, didn't wash her hands before cooking: dumb. Ana didn't check to see if flavor of the day had nuts in it: dumb!"

"I guess your the only smart girl I've ever dated then Liz Tiz." Will said.

"You know what, get evidence against Pedroia, then I'll believe you." I said, which could have been risky, if they somehow linked them to me.

"Will do Lizzie." Will said giving me a gentle but passionate kiss on my forehead.

I woke in the middle of the night to a very fast pace beating. I sat and tried listening to what it was. I then realized it was my own heart beat. I put my finger on my pulse, it was beating so fast I couldn't count the beats.

I started hyperventilating, my whole body began shaking. I looked around: my lamp was on, my door wide open. I knew I wasn't trapped, but I still felt so.

I felt tears fill up my eyes, and I couldn't tell if my vision was going black because I was dying, or leftover makeup got in my tears.

"Will". I croaked. My throat muscles were very tight.

"Will" I said a little louder. I knew his door was open across the hall, but he was sound asleep.

I started to make panic wines. My eyes were spewing with cold tears. My lungs were so tight I was getting no air. I took my covers off as my whines turned into cries. I noticed Will's figure in the door way. He had heard me.

"Lizzie?!" He said shutting the door. He probably didn't want anyone to wake up.

He jumped right next to me and pulled me on his lap. I grabbed his hands as he put them around me. I could feel his face right next to mine.

"Shhhh Lizzie baby shhhh your ok. It's ok. Your safe right now." He said very gently. He gave me kisses on my cheek bone. 

"Will, I-I c-can't-"

"Shh" Will interrupted. "Lizzie just breathe. You'll get some air, ok? Just take a breath in, hold it for five seconds, it'll fill up your lungs."
