Eli POV
I was walking to the cafeteria with Ali when Suddenly I heard
"Elijah Goldsworthy?" I turned and saw a cop walking up to me.
"yes?" I must have looked confused because he said
"im officer Cameron I was assigned to the case that you called in…..and and there has been an interesting development….it seems your case and the girl Clare Edwards seem to be linked." He said
I was thinking "nice work I already know that"
"Son your going to have to come with me to answer a few questions…" he finished
Now I really was confused.
"sure but why" I asked
"You have a connection to BOTH cases and one victim is dead and the other is unconscious….."
He put his hand on my shoulder….."lets go son" he said
I looked back to Alli and said "Call me after the surgery….if you don't call ill assume the worst" Alli nodded and I left with the police officer.
We got to the police station and went into a room. As we were walking I noticed that there was a holding cell nearby in the middle of all these tough and creepy looking guys I saw Fitz sitting in a corner looking terrified. I laughed silently to myself…it was nothing he didn't deserve.
We got inside and the room was cold, it had grey walls and a concrete floor. The only light it had was a light bulb that came down from the ceiling. Going in that room made me feel edgy, like I was the one about to be interrogated.
"give me your side of this story and start from the very beginning…don't leave a thing out no matter how small it seems" he said
I had nothing to hide so I started from my first day at degrassi and ended at the hospital
The cop looked at me in shock….clearly he had a very different recollection of what happened that night.
"why didn't you go to the police" the cop asked both sternly and accusingly
I was in a police interrogation room and knew no one else would every hear me admit this so I just told the truth.
"I was terrified…..he threatened to kill the girl I am in love with, and then PROVED he was callous enough to do it. I didn't care about myself. I had to protect her." I said, my eyes slightly tearing up
Officer Cameron nodded knowingly, "who was this other boy you said you saw there" he asked
" I never saw him, but when Clare woke up she said she knew who it was….it was the same guy who tried to kill her a few nights ago" I said my voice shaking
"did she give a name son" he asked
"Drew Torres" I said
Officer Cameron let out a small gasp. "he was the boy killed at the school that night"
I nodded solemnly "he was a friend but he betrayed all of us and none of us know why"
Officer Cameron started to fired another question at me when my phone went off…he must have known it concerned Clare and said "Go ahead I know where to find you"
I got up and started to leave…
"oh and Elijah…..When Clare is wake we need to talk to her too so please let us know"
I nodded, he is assuming the best, but he didn't see the text
"ELI GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!
ALLI
I was just out the door when I heard Officer Cameron yell
"Jon bring that Fitzgerald kid in here now!"
Adam POV
I got home after Alli told me the real story of what happened that night and I just couldn't believe it. I walked in and my mom rushed to me
"Adam…where were you I was worried sick…"she was screaming at me but it wasn't an angry scream
I told her about the events of the day and about what Clare said. She looked in disbelief. She finally stood up and said
"THAT LYING BITCH….HOW DARE SHE SOIL MY SONS NAME….." I looked at her and tried to calm her down but it was no use. She refused to believe that Clare acted in self defense….and to be honest I still wasn't sure either.
After my mom calmed down we talked about his funeral arrangements…..we were both crying as we had to make hard decisions like open or closed casket and how to dress him. We didn't get very far and the funeral was in two days. We were drained so we went to bed.
The next morning there was a knock at the door. I woke up tp the pounding ready to leap down someone's throat because it was only 7 am
I went downstairs grumbling and threw open the door, "WHAT DO YOU WANT" I yelled then quickly apologized when I saw a police officer standing there.
"is this the Torres Residence" he asked
"I have some new developments on your brothers case"
"yes come in Ill go get my mother" I went up stairs and my mother shot up out of bed and practically ran down the stairs
"im' Mrs. Torres" she said out of breathe
"ma'am I am officer Cameron I questioned two young boys last night….. an ELIJAH GOLDSWORTHY and a MARK FITGERALD. I have come across some disturbing details that I feel you need to hear….you should probably sit down…the both of you" he said looking at us
We complied but now we were more nervous than anything
"All Parties involved in this seem to agree on one thing you son Drew Torres was involved in the bad side of this case. He helped mark fitzgerald kill that girl in the woods and there is new evidence to suggest that drew in fact did shoot Clare Edwards." My mother sat stone faced and I had my jaw hanging open. I know I used this word a lot but the room was filled with anger and disbelief. You could cut the tension with a knife.
My mother finally spoke. "So what does that mean …that… that bitch can just get away with KILLING my baby" she screamed
"If these new developments pan out then she was only shooting in self defense" he said
"is there anything else you we need to know" she said regaining her composure
"no ma'am that is it…..and I am truly sorry" he said sympathetically.
"please leave so I can talk to my son" My mom said
"ill be in touch Mrs. Torres" he said as he left
I looked at my mom and spoke for the first time
"Mom after the funeral can we please leave…..I can't lake living here anymore…" I said with my voice cracking
Surprisingly she didn't argue " Honey I was thinking the same thing" she said and pulled me into a hug
We spent the day packing( well I packed while my mom searched for apartment) I refused to pack up drews room though….it was still to painful)
By the end of the day my mom had found a great apartment the only problem was it was in Chicago in the states.
I didn't really care maybe we would have better luck in the US. My mom helped me with the packing and she also walked right by Drew's room. We finished all the funeral details and my mom said we were going to look at the apartment tomorrow.
"I know my brother wasn't a good guy towards the end but It doesn't mean I don't miss him." I thought to myself as I drifted asleep. "Moving would be good so I can have time to forgive Clare….right now I just can't"
Alli POV
I was sitting in the waiting room when Eli burst through the double doors
"ALLI" he yelled. I jumped
"Eli she made it out of surgery!" she said excitedly He hugged me
"Can we see her" He asked
"She still out from the anesthesia but we can go in….her mother is in there" I said
"where is her dad" he asked realizing that he never saw him
"he said he wasn't coming….that he was done with them that's why he left in the first place" My voice was filled with SO much hate I think I scared him.
"come one lets go in her mom said we could" I said as we walked in.
"how is she Mrs. Edwards" I asked
"oh hi Alli….Eli…..shes stable so that's good…..the doctors say she may even wake up today or tomorrow" she finished with a slight smile playing on her lips.
She left the room and we sat there for hours until Eli and I both fell asleep
Eli POV
We must have fallen asleep because I woke up slightly when I felt a blanket being put over me.
"its okay Eli go back to Sleep" I heard Mrs Edwards Say
I turned around and saw her now putting a blanket on Alli before settling into the remaining chair.
I fell back asleep when I was awoken with a hand on mine. My eyes slowly opened and I saw Clare looking back at me….
"Clare! Your okay!" I whispered loudly so I didn't wake anyone
"Eli…I love you too…"she said guess she was still groggy from the anesthesia. I could tell by the way she was breathing though that this time she wasn't unconscious, just sleeping….
Then it hit me…before I left earlier….. I said I love you Clare I thought it was quiet enough that she didn't hear it but I guess she did…and she felt the same way! I was elated I went back to sleep happy, knowing in my heart Clare was okay and that she loved me. I couldn't wait until tomorrow….I think she will be up to talking then!
