Yo. Another chapter is here! Now, this one is a bit different. I'm reading these fabulous books at the moment (Jaclyn Moriarty is the author, check her out) and instead of just writing a story, she uses exams and letters and memos and interviews to create the story. Cool, huh? So, I thought I'd give it a go in this chapter. Let me know what you think.

Transcript of Witness Interviews - Anderson Case
Witness One – Kurt Elizabeth Hummel
Mr. Hummel, could you please tell us your relationship with Mr. Anderson?
Is that really any of your business?
Mr. Hummel, you are required to answer all of the questions put to you.
Fine, he's my boyfriend. Well, he was when this whole thing happened. I don't know what's happening now.
Right, and what were you doing on the night of the accident?
We went out for dinner.
Did anything unusual happen?
No.
Witness Two – Wesley Li Hughes
Mr. Hughes, could you please tell us your relationship with Mr. Anderson?
Friends for life. We went to high school together, at Dalton. Blaine was a real idiot back then. Oh, and I'm the best friend, alright? Not David. Don't let him claim that. 'Cause it's totally me.
What were you doing on the night of the accident?
Well, I was supposed to go out for dinner with Kurt, Blaine, David and my ex-girlfriend, Jacky. But she broke up with me, that's why she's my ex. So anyway, we ended up just going to the pizza place down the road to eat, because Blaine had to go back to school afterwards. He's studying music at NYU, and sometimes he has to go back for concerts and stuff, and he had to that night. So we ate pizza, and there were some guys looking at us weird 'cause Kurt and Blaine kept feeding each other pizza and licking cheese off each other's chins. It was kind of weird, and awkward. I think they thought me and Dave were boyfriends too. We're not, by the way. Remember Jacky? But yeah, we finished the pizza and Kurt and David and I went home and Blaine went off to school. And then we got the call at like, midnight, to go to the hospital. I was kind of annoyed, because I was halfway through watching The Karate Kid, the good one, and I didn't actually realize that Blaine was sick. If I'd known that I wouldn't have tried to crane kick Kurt when he pulled me off the sofa. I can actually do that, you know. Wanna see?
Witness Three – David Adam Sacra
Mr. Sacra, what is your relationship with Mr. Anderson?
We are high school friends. We also live together, with Kurt Hummel and Wes Hughes.
Thankyou. And what were you doing on the night of the accident?
I went out for dinner with Kurt, Blaine and Wes. We ate, and then left at around eight o'clock. Blaine set off to walk to New York University, because he had a concert to attend. Wes, Kurt and I were at our apartment when we got the call.
Did anything unusual happen on the night that could suggest what happened to Mr. Anderson?
There were a few men looking at our table strangely, because of the way that Kurt and Blaine were acting. They seemed pretty angry, and could very likely have been homophobic, and so might have wanted to hurt them.
Witness One – Kurt Elizabeth Hummel
Mr. Hummel, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Sacra have both mentioned some men looking at you and Mr. Anderson on the night of the incident. You didn't think to mention this as unusual?
Well, it's not, is it? Happens all the time. Some people just don't like gay people.
Do you think that maybe they had some sort of malicious intent towards Mr. Anderson?
Maybe. But so do most of the people in this country.
Witness Two – Wesley Li Hughes
Mr. Hughes, could you please sit down. This is a serious matter!
I'm sorry, I just – Oh my God! That was so close, did you see that? You missed it? What? Wait, let me try, one more time. Make sure you're watching. HYA!
Witness Four – Riley Lazio
Mr. Lazio, what is your relationship with Mr. Anderson?
Blaine comes into our shop quite a lot. That's Lazio Pizza, if you're interested. Best in all of New York City.
And what happened on the night of the incident?
Well, the kids came in and had some pizza, obviously. I don't remember the exact order, we get a lot of customers. There were a few other groups in the shop at the same time, and I remember three men who were looking at Blaine and his boyfriend in a rather… mean spirited way. Some people still haven't caught on to the whole 'acceptance' thing. I took a while, but it's people like Blaine who made me come around. He's a great kid, couldn't ask for a better kid.
What happened after the Mr. Anderson and his friends ate?
After the four kids left, Blaine went a separate way to the others. The men that I mentioned before followed them and I saw them turn the same way as Blaine did. I didn't think anything of it at the time, they could have been going anywhere, and Blaine is a grown man so I figured he could look after himself pretty well. Obviously I was wrong, because when I closed the shop at midnight and began walking home, I found Blaine in an alleyway, and he was in a pretty bad way. I use that alleyway a lot myself, as it is a shortcut from the shop to my home, and it's pretty lucky I do, because otherwise who knows how long Blaine could have been there.
Witness Five – Blaine Everett Anderson
Mr. Anderson, can you remember anything that happened on the night in question?
I've been in hospital for a week with amnesia. You really think I can remember what happened?

Oooh! CONFLICT CONFLICT! It's getting to the good bit now guys, stick with me. Isn't Wes just the best thing ever? I love his character (the fan verse type), and my version is based off of my friend, who is also called Wez, but with a z, and she's a girl. But she's really cool. And like that, most of the time. Thanks for reading everyone, even if it's just your first time today! Please review so I can make the story better :)
Love, Eliza.
