Chapter 1: The Deciding Blow

Clay Jensen rushed through the gates of the Walker Mansion with the ghostly memory of Hannah Baker walking beside him.

He had the gun, that he took from Tyler, gripped by his side, ready for his act of revenge.

"You and the club house with him." he asked with a rushed tone.

"When I tried to climb out of the hot tub, you pulled me back in" Hannah repeated.

Clay becomes more tense with his tone and replied, "Tell me or ill ask him myself."

"You told me we were just having fun" she repeated in his head.

Clay's mind gets clouded by deadly thoughts as a Car rushes behind him from the gate. "Imma make him hurt, make him understand what he did to you." he said with a slightly scared tone

The car pulls up in front of him and Justin comes out with a concerned look on his face, "Clay, what are you doing?" he said in a frightened tone.

"I struggled with you, you were to strong for me, you pulled my underwear down and trapped me there." she echoed in his head.

"Where did you get that?" Justin asked again.

"You gripped my wrists and pushed yourself inside me." she said as Clay is brewing anger within himself.

"Get out of my way Justin." Clay said as he gave him a angered look.

"Come on Clay, this is fucking crazy." Justin said as he reached his hand toward him.

"It felt like a Knife cutting me open." her voice started to sink into Clay's mind as his anger gets deeper.

As Justin stepped in front of him, Clay pointed the gun toward him to make him move.

"No one is getting Justice for her! Move Justin!" Clay commanded.

"I begged you please Bryce, but you told me to relax" Clay's blood begins to boil as she continues to talk.

"I talked to Jessica today, she wants me to testify." Justin said, trying to calm Clay.

"Bullshit! No she doesn't!" Clay exclaimed.

"You told me nice and easy but you went harder and faster." Clay's mind started to spin into madness.

"You'll just, run away and fucking overdose again." Clay said as he breathes.

"When I cried out in pain, you grabbed my hair and the sound of my pain made it better for you."

"Come on Clay." Justin says as he steps closer.

"I can't count on anyone else anymore, I have to do this myself." Clay said as his tone changed.

"You don't have to do this yourself, we can get him tomorrow." Justin replied.

"I tried to leave my body, forgetting the Anger and Pain" Clay said as he hears her crying voice.

"I need to do it now!" Clay said as a tear dripped from his eye.

"For what?" Justin asked calmly.

"For Hannah!" Clay said, growing frustrated of the conversation.

"Listen Clay, I know you loved her, but she's gone, going in there and hurting Bryce now won't bring her back now, she's gone." Justin explained.

"If your lucky, you live a long life and your body just gives up." she said as her voice becomes clearer in Clay's mind.

"Ahh! I can't make her stop!" Clay said.

"Make who stop?" Justin asked in a confused tone.

Clay becomes absored to a pool of mixed emotions as the sound of Justin drowns out of his mind and the presence of Hannah haunts his conciousness. His hands shake with the gun as Justin mumbles something that he can't hear.

"Clay gimmie the gun." Justin said as he holds out his hand.

Under enormous pressure, Clay looks at the gun then at Justin, deciding whether to give it up or not. But the door slides open to reveal the figure behind it, Bryce Walker.

Clay turns and sees his target at the door way and blood rushes into his eyes. He turns the gun toward Bryce who puts his hands up.

"What the Fuck..." he said.

"At that moment...I felt like I was already dead." the final line made something inside the Sophmore of Liberty High snap.

Clay fires 4 shots at Bryce, toward the chest and the sports star of Liberty High, falls backwards as he coughs blood through his teeth.

"What the fuck, Clay!" Justin yells, Clay was waiting for a sign of relief but he kept shaking as he lowers the gun.

"What have I done..." Clay said under his breath.

Bryce, bleeding on the ground, starts to lose conciousness as his eye sight blurrs.

Justin snatches the gun from Clay and grabs his arm, dragging him into the car.

Justin jumps into the front seat and struggles to put the key into the ignition, once he does, he drives off into the night.

As they drive, Clay lays in the backseat with Hannah next to him.

"Well, was it worth it?" She said.

A confused and crazed Clay replied, "Fuck you..."

"Clay, what the fuck were you thinking?!" Justin said as he smacked the wheel. "Now were in deeper shit because you fucking had to kill Bryce." Justin exclaimed.

"What are we going...to do." Clay said, trying to catch his breath.

"I don't know." Justin said as he looked toward the dark streets.

Back in Walker Mansion...

A Car slowly pulls up through the gate and stops at the front porch. The door opened quickly and Montgomery De La Cruz rushed to his dying friend. "Holy Fuck!" he exclaimed.

Another jock walks out and sees the horror in front of him, "Oh shit."

"Call 911! Call fucking 911!" Monty yelled.

The jock pulled out his phone and dialed 911 as quickly as he could.

"911 what's your emergency?"

Jensen Residence

Justin pulled up next to the Jensen House and pulled Clay out the car into the house.

He walks in and Mrs. Jensen walks out the living room to confront the two.

"Where were you two?" She said with her hands on her hips.

"Clay was tired, I had to pick him up." Justin lied.

"From where?" Mr. Jensen said as he walks up from behind his wife.

"Were you drinking?" she insinuated.

"No, I just feel sick, can we talk about this tomorrow." Clay spoke up.

"I agree." Justin said.

"Clay, you've been out and about all night, we're concerned." Mr.Jensen said.

"I know but-" Clay's face started sweating as he felt like throwing up, he rushed up stairs and Justin followed.

"Goodnight, Mister and Mrs Jensen." he said before he left their sight. They stood puzzled and walked back in the living room, shaking their heads.

After a few minutes of throw up inside the toilet bowl. Clay sat on the couch, as Justin sat on his bed.

"Clay, do you realize what you've done." Justin said in stern tone.

"Yes...I had to do it, for Hannah." Clay said.

"Clay, you fucking kill-"

"Shhh keep your voice down." Clay whispered.

"You fucking killed thad guy that we could've put in jail right now." he whispered.

"The Bakers are clearly not going to win the case with Liberty High, what makes you think we could convice them their star athlete is a rapist?" Clay replied back.

"Look, this is to much shit for one night, lets go to bed and figure this out tomorrow." Justin said, looking scared.

"What about the others?"

"We don't tell them, especially Jessica, they have gone through enough shit right now." Justin replied harshly.

He lays down and turns over and says "Goodnight."

"Jus-"

"Goodnight Clay!"

Clay, in a lost for words, layed on his couch and turned his lamp off. That night he couldn't sleep, he realized that he put himself into a deep hole of trouble after he committed murder.
