ONE OF US IS BURNING (ONE OF US IS LYING FANFIC)

Chapter 56: Bronwyn

I don't expect you to understand my situation.

But what I do expect you to understand is my feelings.

It's like back-to-school.

You dread it when you're a kid.

but you know it's coming one way or another.

And,

in this case,

I felt that about the case of the Scott arson.

It was still all over the news.

still.

even though I almost have it.

I almost  have the culprit.

There was only one thing I needed to prove my case:

and it was Addy.

But there was something else I needed to get addy.

Summer.

But she was in the hospital.

she was in danger.

So all that's left was to try.

I picked up my phone.

I waited.

I waited for the answer.

So I did what I could.

Then I got an answer.

but not from Summer.

"Listen, Nate. I don't know if you want to hear from me right now, given our last conversation, but I need your help. Please." I said softly into the phone.

His voice was the only thing that made me feel safe.

Even if he wasn't the same.

"Bronwyn. It's okay. Of course I will help. What's up?" He asks.

His reassurance made me smile.

I sighed in relief.

"I need you to meet me at the police station in 10 minutes, okay?" 

"Uh, okay. Did something happen?" 

"Uh, yeah, kind of. I'll explain when you get here."

"Sure. Meet you there in 10." He answers, and then hangs up.

I sighed and got in an uber.

Once I got there,

I was kind of blank.

Sure,

I'd called Nate,

but was it because I knew what to do,

or I was just calling because I still love him?

All of these thoughts scrambled my mind.

I couldn't contain them.

My heart was racing.

I was getting breathless.

I went outside for some air.

I breathed it in, and tried to calm myself down.

I told myself it was just fine.

I felt fine.

I was okay.

soon enough Nate showed up,
