Liberty High - A 13 Reasons Why Story.

Another Tape?

~Emily~

"Sooo...?" Tony asks.
"Yeah. I'm gunna text her when I'm on my way over there." I tell him.
"Okay. Well hop in then." He laughs.
I laugh as well and get in the backseat.

We get to Tony's house and and head up to his bedroom. Me and clay head straight to his bed and lay on it.

"Oh my God why can't my bed be as comfy as this." I say.
"I know. Mine to." Clay says.
"Oh... By the way... I got a boyfriend!" I tell them both sitting up.
"You." Tony starts.
"Have a boyfriend?" Clay finished.
"Mhm." I nod my head excitedly. "Tony's bed!" I laugh as I lay back down on it.
"Oh my God Emily you nearly have me a heart attack!" Tony tells me sitting down next to me on the bed.
"Me too!" Clay sighs laying back down besides me.
"So what was it you wanted to tell us anyways?" I ask Tony.

He stands up and heads over to his cabinet. He pulls out a cassette tape. He brings it over to us and sits down on the bed sighing.

Me and clay both sit up now looking concerned at Tony.

"Okay... So this for dropped of at my front door the other night. With this note..."

Tony pulls out a note and shows it to us. It reads:

Hey, so I know that Hannah left you the tapes before she passed. And I just wanted to do the same with this tape. I didn't know who else to give it to... I really do hope that I can trust you not to tell anyone. Unless it's necessary. Unless you think they need to know. I don't really know why I think I can trust you... Like we've talked once or twice and you seem like a nice guy... So why not? You helped Hannah right? And you seemed as close to her as you are to me. So here you go. I only have one tape though. Enjoy listening to my story.

Tyler?
What could this be about?

I looked up at both Clay and Tony.

"So why you showing me this?" I ask Tony.
"Are you actually dumb?" Clay asked me.
I hit his arm.
"Well... You're obviously becoming closer to Tyler. Seen as you're hanging out with Mackenzie. And Cyrus hangs out with Tyler. And Cyrus is Mackenzie's brother. So I thought I'd tell you. And give you the tape to listen to.
"And clay?" I ask him.
"Clay would find out one way or another anyways. Plus he was coming to stay at mine the night anyways.
"Aw. Cute." I laughed.
Tony and Clay both gave me a death glare.
"Joking! Joking!" I laughed.

We listened to the tape. It was deep. I now know why Tyler doesn't like my brother. He doesn't just shove him into lockers anymore... He also gangs up on him in the school toilets and... Gets a mop... I don't even want to think about it. And Tyler is also thinking of something for everything to stop... It swore that he wouldn't kill himself like what Hannah did and how Alex tried... So what the hell is he thinking of doing?

"Shit." Clay says.
"No no no... Monty... What!?" I shout but it comes out as more of a whisper.
"I... I'm sorry but I think I need to get to... To get to Kenzies. It's getting late." I look up a Tony, then at clay.

Tony looks at me with sadness filling his eyes.

"Em... I'm s-" he starts but I cut him of.
"Don't... I'm sorry but I really need to get going." I tell them both with tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

They both nod.

To Kenz<3: Hey, I'm on my way :)
From Kenz<3: okay! Cya when you get here! Also do you want pizza? Me and Cyrus are gunna order a takeout.
To Kenz<3: sure! I love pizza! Pepperoni :D
From Kenz<3: On it! :D

I head downstairs and Tony gives me a lift up to Kenzies house.

The drive up there was silent. I really hope Tyler's not staying as well. I can't bare to see him. Not at the moment. Not now that I know what my brothers done to him.
I don't even know how he's bared to see me. I'm surprised he evens speaks to me anymore.

"See you later yeah?" Tony asks me with Clay smiling at me.
I nod.
"If you wanna tell them. You know... Mackenzie and Cyrus, go ahead. I wouldn't blame you." Tony tells me.
I nod again. "Thanks for the lift." I tell him giving him a hug. He hugs back. Clay also joins.
