“What are you talking about? Ahjussi.. He can’t do that. I know him!” Laura whispered in fear as her eye lashes flapped.
“That’s what you think if you trust people too much” Deborah smiled
“You’re a big Liar” Laura scoffed, and walked away. She met Murphy and shivered in fear.
“I guess you are done?” He asked. Laura nodded, feeling a little scared.
“Hey?? What’s wrong with you?” He noticed Laura’s weird behavior.
“Nothing–She whispered. Murphy nodded and walked past her.
“Ahjussi!!” She called. Murphy turned to her.
“I can trust you right?” She asked
“I don’t un-derstand what you even mean” He scratched his head.
“I trust you so there isn’t a nee-d for fear. I’ve encountered her before. So, her mere lies can’t scare me” Laura said. Murphy just looked at her, very confused.
“What’s she saying?” He asked himself. Laura chuckled, waved to him and left.
“Aiiish!! She almost scared me. I thought Murphy was the bad a-ssistant!” She thought as she walked away from sight.
Meanwhile, Deborah was in the cell. She was in de-ep thought and could be seen bi-ting her fin-gers.
She was in trouble! She knew that! She couldn’t believe she actually scared Laura, As she thought!. She just wanted to put fear in Laura so she would really think she would kill Ethan.
Suddenly, Deborah started laughing. She clapped her hands loudly as she looked at the walls of the prison.
“What am I gonna do? I just wanna kill that Darn guy, Aiiish!!! This is so annoying! No one is gonna help or offer me a-ssistance! I can’t rot in jail like this! No! No! No! Ethan should pay for this! I don’t care! Laura will watch him die and I don’t give afu-ck! She will have to feel the pain and sorrow” Deborah said to herself aloud as she smiled.
(DEBORAH’S LAST TRIAL/JUDGEMENT)
“Here goes Joseph Deborah’s judgement…
Due to the hit-and-run and not having a feeling of remorse for her evil deeds. She’s to be imprisoned for 6 years without any granted bill” The judge said as he hit the gavel on its sound block. Mrs Joseph yelled loudly in cry. She rolled on the floor, as she continued wailing.
The others looked at her with sympathy. Most of them were like, She sure deserved it!. Laura took Ethan’s hand and interlocked his fin-gers in between hers.
Meanwhile, Alexa was watching the two seat together, like every couple would. She sighed de-eply. Her parents were also there and Alicia sat with them. Collins sat with Elizabeth. She felt a bit sad of her sister’s predicament even though she knew Deborah was wrong.
“I wish she learns her lesson after coming out of there” Elizabeth whispered to Collins. He sighed softly and patted her shoulder stylishly and gently.
“Rise” The clerk said in a loud voice. They all stood up watching the judge leave while a police man brou-ght Deborah from the derk wearing a hand cuff.
As soon as Deborah was out, She fell down at his pocket side.
“Hey? You okay?” The police man asked standing her upright. Deborah smiled and nodded.
When she was finally lifted, She hit the police man ha-rd with her cuffed hands. He walked backwards with his hands on his nose. It was alre-ady bleeding.
Everyone was surprised by this scenario. Suddenly, Deborah raised her hand up ex-posing a pistol. Actually, When she fell. It was intentional. She did that to get the gun on the policeman pocket. She was one kind of a weirdo!.
“Drop the gun!” The other police man warned raising his own gun to her.
“No! It can’t end like this!!” She yelled.
Two other police men co-cked their guns towards her.
“What’s happening?” Everyone whispered as they shivered in fear.
“Stop it… Stop it, plea-se! It’s over alre-ady!” Mrs Joseph cried.
“What does she think she’s doing?” Elizabeth bit herl-ips clenching her fists. They all watched the drama, on their feet.
Many people there started pleading, and asking her to drop the gun. Her s-entence would be higher than the 6 years, instead of getting less-ened due to her upcoming mistake.
“Drop it… Or we will shoot” The police man warned again
“Shoot then.. My bullet is also gonna run throu-gh someone’s head!” She yelled. Everyone screamed in fear. They wanted to rush out when she yelled.
“Nob©dy leaves!”
Everyone froze instantly and looked at her. Deborah smiled as soon as her eyes met with Ethan.
“I didn’t know he was this cute” She smiled, staring at Laura and Ethan.
Ethan looked at her confused. He looked behind thinking she was probably referring to someone else.
“Don’t tou-chhim!” Laura yelled.
“We will see about that. Hey! Come over–
“Me?” Ethan pointed at his che-st puzzled.
“What do you mean? What do you want from him??” Alexa suddenly shouted.
“Hey! Tomboy, You’d better keep your mouth zi-pped! Unless, you’re gonna be bl-own by this” Deborah warned lifting the pistol, higher.
“I said… Come over! Yeah.. You! I’m talking to you, Ethan!! Yeah… Come over… Close to me… Yeah, Now… Face me, That’s more like it” Deborah smiled
“I’m sorry. But do we even know each other. Why do you want me here?” Ethan asked
“You owe me something” Deborah smi-rked. Eric and Ken watched with fear and confusion.
“What? Tell me… Because, I never owe anyone debt. And I’m sure I haven’t met you in person before”
“You talk too much. Anyways, Let’s get to the point. Mr Ethan… You owe me your life”
“Huh? What’s that suppose to mean?”
“Ahhh… Laura, You didn’t tell him?” Deborah chuckled. Laura felt tears streaming down her face.
“Oh… I un-derstand. Probably because you wanted him to avoid spoilers? Aiish… I totally un-derstand now”
“Can you tell me what thefu-ck you are saying right now?” Ethan interrupted
“I told you before…..I have to kill you!”
“What? And why?”
“Because you owe me?…No one can take my down like this.” Deborah chuckled and raised the gun to his face which pointed directly to his forehead.
“Nooooo!!!” Alexa and Laura both yelled. Mr Lynn had been covering Alicia’s eyes and ears to avoid unnecessary things to be seen and heard.
“Oh… So, You guys don’t wanna see him die? Wow… Anyways, Let’s see if I can kill him and both of you. Then, maybe you all can enjoy yourself in heaven?” Deborah chuckled
“Drop the gun alre-ady!!” Murphy yelled from the corner, he was aiming his gun from.
“Sorry Guys… You will just have to kill me first!” Deborah smiled,focusing the gun to Ethan’s che-st. She quic-kly pu-lled the trigger, and The gun made a loud shooting sound which made everyone terrified and horrified.
Everyone eyes turned to the next scene. What truly happened after the shot??
~~~ Deborah was shot on the che-st by Murphy. She fell down and died instantly. Everyone screamed loudly while others cried.
They looked in front and met Ethan on the floor with Laura on his legs. Alexa was beside them watching the “Romeo and Juliet” drama.
Alexa and Laura had run just like flash to shield Ethan. However, Laura was fas-ter. Ethan was saved by the bullet but Laura protected him, taking his place.
“Open your eyes. Everything will be fine…I promise” He had tears flowing.
“I’m glad her her threats were empty at the end…… I’m sorry I’m leaving so soon–
“Don’t say that! You won’t leave” He interrupted her whispering, fragile voice.
“Find someone else to stay with you. Too bad, This is my fate… Laura whispered, as her eyes started gently closing.
Eric called the ambulance which took Laura to the hospital. Ethan went with Laura.
Eric and Ken drove Alexa’s family and Elizabeth to the hospital. Alicia kept shivering and sobbing in fear.
“I hope nothing happens to her” Alicia sobbe-d loudly.
“Everything is gonna be okay” Mr Lynn tried to enlighten her mood.
“If anything happens to her. It’s my fault!” Alicia blurted
“Oh no! No! No… Gracious Goodness, Don’t ever say something like that again” Mrs Lynn frowned,ti-ghtly holding her hand.
“No… I’m right. If you think about it well. It’s actually my fault. I for-ced her to say things she would have kept a secret. Because of me, The case was reopened. I even promised her nothing would happen to her if she confessed all. What’s going to happen now? It’s certainly my fault. I should have kept still! Yet, I kept pushing it. Now, Can y’all see the results?”
“Hey? Alicia… It’s okay. Nothing is gonna happen. Switch off the negative thoughts” Collins sighed
“Let’s just pray nothing would happen to her” Elizabeth chipped in.
“Yeah. I can’t agree more. Everything is well” Ken whispered. Alexa interlocked her fin-gers in de-ep thoughts.
“Everyone. Cheer up. I’m sure everything is going to be fine” Eric said as he stepped on it, ma-king the car drive with more speed.
~~~Immediately, They got to the hospital, They met Ethan on the floor. He was crying loudly and badly.
“Hey? Hey? What’s it? Huh? What did the doctor say?” Mr Lynn asked tou-ching him.
“…..She couldn’t make it. She died before we could reach the hospital…She’s in the mortuary right now” Ethan cried loudly.
Everyone felt heart broken and most of them couldn’t hold their tears.
“Why did she have to die! It could have been me!!” Ethan said.
Alicia became disturbe-d and emotional. She cried her eyes out with her face on her father’s b©dy.
“It’s my fault” She kept whispering. Her father held her close. Many sympathized with Ethan though he was still going crazy by what had just happened. Alexa and Lizzy hu-gged each other in sadness.
“Dad… Alicia whispered in a dry voice.
“What’s it hunny?” Mr Lynn asked. Alicia inhaled de-eply and to-uched her head.
“It’s really hurting me” Alicia gro-an ed.
“Huh? What’s that? Tell me?” Mr Lynn asked, frightened.
Alicia couldn’t reply. It seemed her strength had left her. She squee-zed her forehead with her hands, closing her eyes in pain. She suddenly started sweating.
“Hey? Sweetheart… You okay?” Mrs Lynn asked. Alicia simply shaked her head.
“No… My eyes is dizzy. I’m kinda weak–Alicia paused and fell down on the floor.
They shouted immediately. The others gathered around them.
“Call the doctor! plea-se!” Mrs Lynn yelled, shaking the unconscious Alicia who la-id on the floor.
Alexa was really scared. Collins ran to call the doctor while Alexa followed. She caught Ethan running out throu-gh the entrance door.
“Where’s he off to?” Alexa thought and stopped. She continued looking at him, perplexed.
Her father noticed it and walked to her.
“Go… We will take it from here” He told her.
“Uhhh… No, Dad.. I was just–It’s nothing. I’m just gonna stay with Alicia”
“No. Just follow him. Everyone is here for Alicia. She’s gonna be fine. However, He’s lonely. No one is there for Ethan. So, Go alre-ady”
“…….Thank you so much, Dad” Alexa whispered in tears. Mr Lynn nodded and hu-gged her ti-ghtly. He broke the hu-g and signalled her to run to him. Alexa nodded and didn’t hesitate to run out.
Soon, Alicia was taken to the hospital ward. The nurses and Doctor came in to run few tests on her.
**********************
Alexa kept walking and walking but she couldn’t find Ethan. The sun was setting alre-ady.
“Where could he be?” She looked around, running her eyes. After minutes of thinking, She finally thought of something unusual. Something he shouldn’t dare do!!!
“There’s no way…. He shouldn’t dare think of such!” She thought as she began running again.
“plea-se… Don’t kill yourself, Jeball!!” She cried out as she continued running, while the strong wind blew her long hair.
Alexa stopped, with a look of fear. She looked at the bridge before her and met Ethan on it. He was standing staring at the clear sea. Many people were there, Taking photos and recording videos.
“Ethan… No! plea-se! Stop!!” She yelled running to him,pushing the foolish onlookers off the way.
He turned to her and sighed de-eply.
“Why are you here again?” He whispered with this sore eyes,looking de-eply at her.
“Again?” She was confused
“Yeah… “Again”. I know you were the Tomboy of 5 years ago–Don’t tell me you are here to save me again?” He asked
“……..Ethan… Enough alre-ady! Don’t be like this!! It’s annoying!” She was crying alre-ady in a loud voice.
“Alexa… I’m sorry but you won’t be able to save me this time”
“Don’t say something like that–
“I caused her death! My mom’s death too! Why do I keep causing others to die!!”
“It’s not your fault! It was unexpected,Stop being delusional!”
“But I’m scared!!” He cried
“Why…should you be scared?”
“What if I cause you to die? Then, I think I might really go crazy out of confusion and self-hatred! So, It’s better I leave now” He was ugly-crying now.
“Ethan!!”
“I don’t want anyone to die! Especially you! Don’t stop me… Because it isn’t gonna work”
“plea-se… plea-se, Listen to me” She wiped her flowing tears.
“Goodbye”
“No… No… plea-se, No”
“Alexa–
I’m sorry, But I love you” He smiled. Alexa watched as his legs left the bridge.
“Nooooooo!!!” She screamed as she ran to his falling b©dy.
