A/N: last chappie!
Lizzie woke up, shocked to see her Kate and Claire sitting in her room waiting for her.
"What's going on?" Lizzie asked, confused and still unable to shake the events of the day.
"We came to apologize, you see, we blamed you because of something that happened to us, and we now realize how wrong we were." Claire pushed her hair out of her eyes.
"What happened?" Lizzie asked, hoping they had a good excuse for ruining her life-or at least attempting to.
"Well, you know how you are salutatorian?" Lizzie nodded, wondering what that had to do with anything. "Well, apparently Ren was jealous and recruited us to make sure you got suspended by pulling a series of pranks and whatnot and making sure you got the blame. Then all she would have to do was bat her eyelashes at Wexler and get what she wanted." Kate looked at her, hoping that Lizzie believed them.
"OK, so? What does that have to do with you? Why did she recruit you?" Lizzie asked, mad that they would pull such a stunt.
"Because she had blackmail on both of us and threatened to blab if we told on her, not only about the pranks, but about her affair with Wexler." Claire smirked. "We were right, Little Miss Perfect was his pet, that liked being under his desk. And according to your mom, they were finally caught in the act. Ren is expelled after confessing to everything and Wexler is fired. And your punishment and whatnot won't affect anything for your future plans.' Claire smiled. "We truly are sorry for everything and hope you can forgive us. Friends?"
"Sure," Lizzie hugged the girls, glad that they finally told the truth. It seemed only fair to forgive them "There is one thing I don't get though," Lizzie said, her mind still spinning from the events of the day.
"What is it?" Kate asked.
"What exactly did Ren have against you? It must have been pretty big if you went through all that."
Claire took a deep breath. "The truth is, I'm pregnant, and her brother is the father. We sort of got drunk one night and got a little stupid, and now I'm paying the price. She threatened to tell the whole school unless I did what she said. I was scared, so I did what she said. I had no idea how to stand up for myself. I'm not like you, Lizzie." Claire began to cry and Lizzie gave her a hug, finally understanding what her angel meant.
"I'll be here," Lizzie promised, realizing her job was to help Claire stand up for herself.
"I might as well tell my secret too," Kate took a deep breath. " I was confused a few months ago about my feelings and sort of tested them out, you know what I mean." She looked at Lizzie meaningfully. "Anyway, I was at this club and met someone and we, well you know. Little did I know Ren saw the whole thing and had pictures. She was going to tell the whole school my sexual orientation, or what she assumed it was. I couldn't bear go through the pain of rumors so I caved. One stupid experiment, and I almost ruin your life. It wasn't even for me, I mean I support people who do it, but its not for me. I am so sorry Lizzie.' Kate hugged Lizzie as well. (a/n hope no one was offended, I was just showing how ignorance can potentially ruin lives)
"I forgive you both," Lizzie said, finally realizing why she needed to live. She was supposed to be their guardian angel, as well as one for their friends. She was supposed to give them support and help them when they needed it. Lizzie got up, taking the hands of her two friends.
"DB?" she asked, and her friends agreed. They set out to toast to new friendships, life and a new beginning for everyone.
A/N the end! R/r but if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Happy reading and happy new year!
