Elizabeth Jensen walked down the hall at Liberty High School with Jessica Davis, and got stopped by Ani Achola. "Eliza, have you heard from them yet?"
The girl shook her head. "What? Who?" Jessica questioned her friends.
"Justin and Clay are with the police." Elizabeth explained to Jessica as the three started to walk again. "They found the security footage from last spring of Clay and Justin outside of Bryce's house." Jessica nodded in response.
"Shit." Jessica sighed. "Of course that house had a security camera."
Ani's eyes widened at Jessica's response. "You knew this happened."
"I told her." Elizabeth shrugged.
"You don't think Clay-" Ani paused for a second, trying to collect her thoughts. "You don't think he could have actually done something, do you?"
"No." Elizabeth looked up at Jessica waiting for her answer.
Jessica looked down at the ground. "I don't know."
"Was he in love with Hannah."
Elizabeth snorted. "That's an understatement."
"Did he not tell you?" Jessica furrowed her eyebrows. "About Hannah, the tapes, the trial?"
"Almost nothing." Ani shook her head.
"Jesus." Elizabeth scoffed.
Jessica looked into a classroom to see if it was empty. "In here." She said before entering that classroom.
The duo began to tell Ani everything that happened during the past two years. "So, Clay went after everyone on the tapes?" Elizabeth nodded. "I mean, I knew he could be obsessive, but.."
"And when the trial started, it was like," Jessica took in a deep breath before finishing, "he cared more about Hannah than me or anyone else who was alive." Elizabeth took Jessica's hand in her own. "I mean, that's not fair, because I think he knew that I was hurting, but.."
"But he didn't respect that you weren't ready to speak about it?" Ani asked.
Jessica nodded softly. "I mean, I'm glad I ended up testifying after everything. It made me feel stronger." She looked down at the ground. "But after that night, after Bryce, I was constantly afraid. I had to go to school every day and see him. I was just starting to get over that, and Clay- God, he made me feel.." She paused, trying to find the right word. "Hunted."
