Chapter 10 The Confession
A couple days after Roxanne came home from the hospital they went to the basketball court. "Hey Scarlet!You said you would good at basketball right"Zack said. "Yeah
so"Scarlet said. "Well so us some moves"Zack said holding out the baketball. "Hey to make it interesting..let's make this a competition...girlfriend verus boyfriend"Cody said.
"Okay...so what do we need to do"?Zack asked. Cody whispered to Roxanne in her ear for a minute and nodded. "How good can you two shoot from half court"?Roxanne
asked. "Pretty good I guess"Zack said. Scarlet nodded. "Fine...Your challenge is that you have to shoot from half court"Roxanne said. Zack and Scarlet nodded. "Who goes
first"?Scarlet asked. "Whoever wants to"Cody said. Scarlet looked over at Zack. "Ladies first"Zack said smiling. Scarlet smiled back and went over to the half court point. She
dribbled the ball and threw it towards the hoop. The ball hit the backboard and bounced off. "Close"Roxanne said. Scarlet shrugged. Next it was Zack's turn. He dribbled the ball
and threw it. It hit the rim of the basket and bounced off. "You were close too"Cody said. "Okay so now we have a tie...which means we need to have a tie breaker"Roxanne
said. "Which is what"?Scarlet asked. "Well...how about a eating contest"?Cody said. "I don't think that's such a good idea...let's just keep it a tie"Zack said. "If you say so"Cody
said.
Later that day at the Tipton everybody was hanging out in Roxanne and Scarlet's suite. "Hey guys"!London said walking in. "Do you ever knock"?Cody asked. "Hey I own this
place"London said. Roxanne rolled her eyes. "So when's Maddie coming back"?London asked. "We don't know...everyday it's like she's getting worse"Scarlet said. "Good..now
I can have Trevor again"London said. "Hey...I thought you said you would be happy for Maddie and Trevor's relationship"Roxanne said. "That was when Maddie was
around...and besides I was just pretending"London said. "What?So all this time you were just pretending to be happy for them"Scarlet said. "Yeah...Aren't I smart"?London said.
"No"Zack said. "And for your information..Trevor's also in the hospital"Cody said. "What happened"?London asked. "Jake shot him"Scarlet said. "Jake..you mean the one who
used to work here and then transfered to the St.Marks"London said. ZAck noddded. "Oh no"London said standing up. She started walking around nervously like she was hiding
something. "London...do you have something to do with all of this"?Scarlet said. "Actually yeah"London said. "Well tell us"Cody said. London sighed and sat down. "Well the
night after Roxanne's pep talk in Maddie's suite...it made me realized how much I liked Trevor and I decided that I would do anything to get Trevor back...so I went and found
Jake,Maddie's old boyfriend and I told how Maddie had a new boyfriend just to make Jake angry...And he was and he wanted to get revenge on Maddie and Trevor..so I gave
him the an idea for Maddie...I told him to stabbed Maddie with a knife that had bacteria in to make Maddie get that disease that she has now and drowned her...and I think I also
made Jake think that I also wanted Trevor to be gone too"London said. "The others just stared at them for a moment. "You did what"!Scarlet yelled. "I'm sorry...I was just so
caught up in gettingTrevor back"London said. "But to Maddie!I can't believe you would do something to your own friend"Roxanne said. "I know"London said. "So you feel
ashamed"?Cody said. "No way!"London said. "London!You're the most shallow,most self center,most greedy,the most selfish sister we ever had"!Roxanne shouted. "Come on
guys..let's go to your suite"Scarlet said. Scarlet and Roxanne got up. "Right behind ya"Zack said. Zack and Cody got up and walked out the door with Roxanne and Scarlet. They
closed the door,leaving London alone. "I can't believe they actually think that about me...They're right I'm selfish andI should ashamed of myself after what I done..Maddie is my
only friend and now I'm the reason both Maddie and Trevor are in the hospital"London said. She sighed and walked out the door.
Later that night Roxanne and Scarlet were watching some television. London knocked on the door. "Well look who's knocking"Roxanne said. "Can I come in"?London said. "I
guess"Roxanne muttered. She stepped aside and let London in. "Look I'm sorry of what I did and I am ashamed of myself"London said. Scarlet and Roxanne looked at each other.
"We forgive you but you shouldn't be saying sorry to us you should be telling Trevor and Maddie..and now that I mentioned it how are you gonna tell Maddie and Trevor the
truth"Scarlet said. "I was thinking not to tell them at all"London said. "London"Roxanne said seriously. "Fine but I don't know how to tell them and I'm scared about their reaction
after I'm done telling them"London said. "Look a true friend would forgive if you admit that you were wrong"Scarlet said. "You think Maddie and Trevor will forgive me"?London
asked. "I'm sure not right away but they'll forgive you"Roxanne said. "I guess I can go with that"London said. "London,you have to know that you are not always gonna end up with
the boy...some boys like Maddie's type instead of the rich type like you"Scarlet said. "I know but I'm so used to getting the boys..I should be thinking before I do something I regret
and I did do something I regret"London said. "Like that'll happen"Scarlet said under her breath. "I heard that"London said. Scarlet and Roxanne smiled. "Guys I'm starting to like
having sisters around"London said smiling. "Really?Then we might even actually stay here...Which we are"Scarlet said. "You ask dad"?London asked. "Yeah...he said okay and we
can go back to California anytime"Roxanne said. "Good...well I better go"London said. She stood up,waved and walked out. "What do you think Maddie and Trevor will do if they
don't forgive London"?Scarlet asked. "I have no clue...it's way out of our league"Roxanne said. "I'm pretty sure they'll do something"Scarlet said. Suddenly the phone rang. "Hello"
Roxanne said. "Is this Roxanne"?someone said from the other line. "Yeah"Roxanne said. "Oh hey it's doctor Williams"the other line said. "Oh hey Dr.Willams"!Roxanne said. She
gestured Scarlet to come. Scarlet walked over and picked up the other phone in the one of the bedrooms."Oh hey Dr.Williams"Scarlet said onto the other phone. "Hello
Scarlet"Dr.Williams said. "So why did you call"?Roxanne asked. "It's about Maddie and Trevor"Dr.Williams said. "How are they"?Scarlet asked concerned. "Trevor is doing
fine,I'm pretty sure he can go home by the end of the week but Maddie on the other hand is not improving so greatly as we expected"Dr.Williams said. "Is Maddie awake"?
Roxanne asked. "Sadly no..her coma's getting deeper everyday but Trevor is"Dr.Williams said. "What are the chances of MAddie surviving"?Scarlet asked. "I say about 40 but
I'm not sure"Dr.Williams said. "Oh"Scarlet said. "Well I gotta bring the information to Maddie and Trevor's parents...bye"Dr.Williams said. "Bye"Roxanne and Scarlet said.
Dr.Williams hung up. Roxanne sighed sadly and put the phone down. "Come on lets get some sleep"Scarlet said quickly changing the subject. Roxanne nodded. Scarlet put her
phone down and they walked to their bedrooms.
