xv. the secrets they kept

This is the final chapter everyone! If you were someone who made some of the characters, please go to the applyfic planing book because I have some questions for you guys again!

    Chloe smiled, catching her breath as she ran into the police office with the money that Eliza had basically pried out of her dads. She hopped over to the desk and grinned as she slammed the three thousand dollars on the table. "Here it is, say what you want, but I got the bond. Let Royal go." Chloe demanded. There was no choice, they had to at this point. She was allowed to be bailed out, and this was the bond that they had to pay for her release, and thus, on legal laws, they were forced to. She was happy that this meant her best friend would be coming back home to her.

The person standing at the desk sighed, and informed the other police officers through the walkie-talkie. Two police guards showed up, carrying Royal. One of which was the girl who had interrogated Royal in the first place, and whom had been the one to bring her back in the jail cell.

Royal gave a big hug to Chloe, happy that the two were now free from the clutches of the law, despite them still having to wait for the court date. "You'll be okay!" Chloe kept telling Royal as they embraced each other in a lengthy and yet welcoming hug.

"How did you get all that money?" Royal asked, shivers running down her spine from the excitement.

"Eliza's parents, but that's not the thing here. You're alive. You're actually alive. I thought that you were dead!" Chloe yelled. "Okay, I did not think that. But, come on! You could have. Were you raped in there? I know that if you drop the soap in a prison cell you'll be raped. Did what happen?"

"No, I didn't get raped. Or, at least to my knowledge." She added that last sentence and the two giggled as they walked off together, happy for each other's company once more. On their way home, they passed the old library for which the drama started. She frowned.

    "You want your phone back?" Chloe asked because Chloe had been given Royal's phone when all the drama was going on with the jail.

    "Yeah." Royal said, then Chloe brought her phone out and passed it over. Royal took another photo and went back onto her instagram to make sure it was still there. She then turned her data on, and posted it onto instagram, announcing her leave from vandalism. Royal was about to cry once more, as this brought her life, but it was time to end it.

"I'm so proud of you for stepping out of the hell you've brought yourself into. You know, there's still a ton of things that you can in art - animating. I know there's a lot of animators out there on the Internet." Chloe said.

"Thanks." Royal said, and she let out a smile. Finally, they were barely safe.

    Matt walked over to Alisson. "Do you.. Want to maybe go on a date?" Matt asked.

    Alisson turned over to Matt from her locker. "Sure. I thought you did not like me like that, though." Alisson said, a worried face sprung up on her face.

    "Yeah, but I had some change of heart." Matt said, and the two walked outside together, holding each other's hand. "So, where should we go?"

    "Uh... I heard that the cafe down the block from the school is pretty good." Alisson smiled. She had turned a negative into a positive. Surely, her secret was out but did that stop her from being her best? No. She kept her happiness level up, and was proud of where she was in her life, for once in her horrible life. The two walked to the cafe, and ordered. The food came pretty quick, less then a minute. It was insane, then again, it wasn't anything fancy. It was basically fast food breakfast.
