All of them waited for Jessica and Justin to be done with the police. Bella stood on the sidelines, as she watched Clay sit nervously. She walked over to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

'I'm sure it will be okay for both of them' Bella reassured

'Yeah I know' Clay said, 'I'm just worried that even doing this will not put Bryce away'

'I'm sure it will and it will start a criminal case against him' Bella said, 'It's taken everything in Jess to do this'

'Yeah I know' Clay sighed, 'But I can't help but think about Bryce getting off'

'Yeah I hope it doesn't happen like that' Bella smiled as she patted Clay on the shoulder

He had been going through hell recently and Bella wanted to be there for him. But she's never been in love with someone who is now gone. Scott wasn't gone, but it did feel like he was a ghost that followed her around.

Suddenly, her ghost walked into the police station. Bella noticed his dark blonde hair walking over to the front desk. She didn't want to get up, but Clay noticed Scott.

'What is he doing here?' Clay asked her

'I don't know' Bella shrugged

Scott turned around from the front desk and made eye contact with Bella for a second. She didn't know why he was here, but he was walking toward her. She believed that she had no choice, but to speak to him.

'Bella can we talk?' Scott asked looking over to Jessica, who was finished with the police

'How did you know I was going to be here?' Bella asked ignoring his question

'Zach told me' Scott said

Bella made a mental note to talk to Zach later, 'What do you want Scott?'

'I just want to make this better Bella' Scott pleaded, 'I fucked up and I can't stop thinking about you'

'Scott' Bella warned

'I know you don't want me back' Scott said, 'I get it, but I want to help. Do you want me to testify against Bryce, because I can'

'What will you say?' Bella said, 'Most of the time you were with me, when Bryce would do these things'

'That's not true' Scott said as Bella raised her eyebrow, 'I was there when he was raping Chloe'

Bella stood speechless.

'It was when you were away on some camp' Scott said

'Aquatics camp last year?' Bella asked as Scott nodded

'I didn't want to go to the clubhouse but Monty forced me, plus I had nothing to do' Scott explained, 'You were not in town, so I went'

'And you saw Bryce raping his girlfriend' Bella said horrified, 'And you stood there and did nothing?!'
