warning: strong language.
g-billy sped down the empty road, the other two males following close behind, cadence giggling.
"this is so dangerous!" cadence sat back in her seat, unable to move as it was too fast. "and fun!"
"good way to save someone, huh!" g-billy changed gear, causing the car to make a different noise, giving the impression of speed as he swiftly drifted round a tight bend. cadence squealed.
"oh my god, billy!" cadence gripped the seatbelt, now feeling adrenalin.
"what?!" he checked behind them, making sure that the others were behind.
"make a left turn!" cadence pointed, g-billy slowing down a bit as they entered a narrow, ice-layered road.
"oh...oh no" cadence squinted her eye, leaning forward. "is that...franky's car?!" cadence opened her window as the male stopped by the side of the wreckage.
"..it is.." g-billy looked shocked and shaken, examining the car. "..i hope he's ok..come on!" he hit the accelerator and drove carefully but quickly down the road.
"there!" cadence pointed to a big house away from the other houses in the distance as g-billy drove towards it, the other two males following close behind as they came closer.
meanwhile
"franky?..." zendaya asked, trying to get herself comfy so her wrist wasnt hurting as much. "..franky..please..wake up.."
franky didnt move, the chains restraining his actions and his breathlessness restraining his life. blood dripping from the wound. zendaya cried painfully, her face soaked with sweat and tears.
"i hate you!" she shouted, crying, looking up at the basement door. "i hate you so fucking much!" zendaya's whole body was turned into anger and pain. "your such a fuck up!" she struggled under the chains, stressing herself out.
meanwhile
g-billy slammed the breaks as the car screeched to a halt outside cole's house as the other three males followed.
"you knock cadence..he'll answer to you." the three males stood at the side, as cadence stepped forward to ring the bell. cole answered.
"cadence!" cole gave her a tight hug, almost like he was trying to take her breath from her.
"cole.." cadence smiled, then pulled away, only to be introduced to cole's lips once again.
"we need to talk" cadence gave him a serious glare as the three males showed themselfs. "wheres franky"
"franky?" cole asked, now starting to sweat.
"yes, franky" stomp further confirmed. "and zendaya"
"im not that evil" cole grinned.
"cole, kidnapping one person is bad enough! and you've got two!" cadence shouted. "and you've stabbed one of them!" cadence pushed cole, entering his house as he backed away. after all, he was in fact, scared of cadence.
"tell me the truth!" cadence pinned him down, slapping him violently. "just because i'm your girlfriend doesnt mean i cant give you a good slap when you need it!" cadence lunged at cole as she slapped him over and over again. "i cheated on you! i dont love you!"
"then why date me?!" cole, now angry, managed to boil up some confidence and slammed her onto the hard wood flooring, cadence grunted.
"because i was too scared to say no! but im not scared, of a evil murder like you..not anymore, cole!" she gritted her teeth a cole held a guitar up above him, aiming for cadence's head.
"dont. move." cole panted, gripping the guitar. "or i will hit you.."
cadence's POV
that guitar..that voice...
i thought to myself as i lay on the cold wood, panting.
i remember a male...holding a bat..just like that...then i fell..i got knocked out..
my tried fitting pieces together, tried tying the ends. then it hit me.
he did it.
he knocked me out.
he overdosed me.
i lay in shock as the my unintentional overdose jigsaw fit together. more than perfectly.
3rd person POV
"you did it.." cadence said, shocked, her eyes wide. cole dropped the guitar.
"i did what?..." cole asked, turned his head to the side abit, avoiding eye contact.
"you..knocked me out"
"no.." cole answered quickly. refusing responsibility of her accident.
"yes!" cadence let a tear fall as another car pulled up. two officers sped in.
"we got a call? EPF" the black and while male penguin showed their badges, cadence's scared expression turned to a smile. g-billy, stomp and petey explaining to the agents the suituation. coles eyes suddenly filled with worry, looking straight into cadence's. he whispered.
"cadence.." cole let a tear fall, his eyes moist.
"..cole.." cadence replied half heartedly. she felt, somewhere in her heart, in the very depth of it, sympathy for cole. "..its your own fault"
"i know.." cole lowered his head as the officers finished talking to the males, the officer approached cadence and cole.
"cadence ma'am? need a hand?" the officer held his flipper out to cadence, she accepted, pulling herself up and dusting herself off.
"thanks.." she said quietly.
"cole..your under arrest for assault and suspected murder and abduction" the other officer put cole in handcuffs, leading him to the back of the police car and seated him, shutting the door. "dont move" they locked the door, re-entering the house. cadence was sat on the sofa, her face covered by her flippers. g-billy looked abit annoyed at her. petey and stomp looking for the basement door.
"...why are you crying?" g-billy asked, standing in front of cadence.
"..you.." cadence sniffled. "dont understand"
"dont understand what? that franky might be dead? and zendaya could be hurt?!" petey overheard the small conversation, glancing over to the blue male and peach young-adult.
cadence replied with a silent sniffle. "...he's my boyfriend.."
"WHO DO YOU LOVE?!" g-billy yelled at her loudly. cadence looked up, tears falling, her skin going pale. she had her mouth open abit as she swallowed down guilt. "cole or franky?!"
"...franky.." cadence had to answer, and at this moment in time, franky was the correct answer. or, the answer that would save her ass from a whooping off g-billy.
"right then" g-billy crossed his flippers as the officers walked over to the female.
"ma'am are you alright?" the officer asked, taking a seat next to cadence.
"im fine..thanks.." cadence answered slowly.
"i found it!" petey was pointing to a door inside the closet, he opened it with ease. "why wouldnt you put a lock on it?"
"beats me" stomp said, looking down into the basement. "zendaya?!" he shouted.
"yeah?" she answered painfully as the penguins ran down the step, turning the light on.
"franky!" cadence screamed, running to his side, crying hysterically. "franky wake up!" she shook him, the others unhooking zendaya who was hugging petey. the officers ran over to franky.
"cole stabbed him.." zendaya told them all, crying as she held her wrist and walked over to cadence.
"zendaya..can we talk with you if you dont mind?" the chief EPF officer asked her calmly.
"sure.." she rubbed cadences back, cadence cried on franky's shoulder.
"want a moment?" g-billy stroked her hair comfortingly.
"..please.." cadence had her face buried in franky's chest.
"i'll stay.." stomp stepped forward, kneeling the othet side of franky, unclipping the chains. "..just for comfort.." he earned a nod from cadence as the others left.
"..you okay?" stomp asked, sitting franky back.
"..." cadence sniffed, gripping franky's top.
stomp sniffled abit, then rubbed cadence back as she cried into franky's jacket.
"...this is all my fault.." she muffled into his jacket quietly.
"dont say that.."
"it is..if i'd of just said no to cole or not cheated on him..franky wouldnt be in this mess..he wouldnt be hated by cole...and he wouldnt be dead...i hate myself...he's innocent and he's dead.." cadence cried, hugging franky. "..im so sorry...so so sorry.."
stomp couldnt tell her otherwise, because she was right in a sense. the officers and some nurses came down the stairs with a stretcher to put franky's body on.
"cadence, we need you to come to the station. you need to be questioned." the chief told her, helping her up.
"..s-sure.." cadence got a bit nervous. "b-but..franky.."
"dont worry..he's going to the hospital..he hasnt been dead for too long..he's still quite coloured." the doctors wrapped a bandage package on franky's wound. "we'll let you know how he's doing and you can come and see him"
"so he's going to live?!" cadence's tears stopped falling as fast.
"we'll do our best" the doctors lifted his body to an ambulance as cadence followed stomp and the officers out the basement, and out of the house that was taped off as a crime scene.

wow! this is the longest chapter i've ever done, its got 1,484 words not including this authors note! dayum son!
anyway, this chapter turned out to go alot further than i expected it to. i was going to stretch this bit of the story across 3 short chapters (because you all loveee short chapters). i chose to do this on one because i would forget the storyline.
i hope your all not too sad about it. also, the next chapter will be sort of complicated because it's going to be from the different characters points of view instead of 3rd person like usual. just a warning.
thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
wow got a bit excited there.
i'd like to say this chapter now has 1,615 words including the note
