Chapter 6
Yes next chapter is finally up after a bout 2 months but oh well school has kept me pretty busy and I should be doing it right now but oh well.
Early the next morning as the sun was coming up Eliza snuck out to help her boyfriend find somebody. They went back to the station and as they walked in something wasn't right. It is way too quiet for this time of morning. Eliza is clinging onto Ashton terrified something is terribly wrong like in a horror film or something. Suddenly a girl about Debbie's age appears out of nowhere making them both jump back in surprise. "Hello, Ashton," she says in the coldest voice Eliza has ever heard. "Hello, Amanda," he repeats glaring at her. "What's going on?" Eliza looks at him in disbelief like how could he enjoy being around someone like that? Catching on to what he is doing she backs away slowly shaking her head just speechless. How could he do this to me? She thought looking from Ashton's glowing look to Amanda's smirk at her. "This…this was a setup! You were using me! How could you! You acted like you cared about my little brother!" she said as her stomach churned in all this chaos. She managed those last few words and took off in a sprint into the bitterly cold December morning. She didn't look back at all she just couldn't so she ran hard up that snowy hill towards the house just sobbing. "He lied to me! He used me to get her back!" She said out loud through sobs. She just couldn't understand this he would do anything for her; he saved her life when she got hurt. Once she got into the house she ran to her room and slammed the door shut waking Debbie up who was pretty upset till she saw her sister's condition."Eliza? What happened?" Debbie said as she walked into her sister's room. "Go away!" she yelled at her sister tears streaming down her face. She just couldn't speak to anyone right now she just sobbed into her pillow not ever wanting to see Ashton's face again. "But Eliza…" Debbie managed once more. "I said go away!" Eliza yelled at her sister again just out of control. She went through every possible scenario of why he would go back to her. "Did I do something? Say something? She is prettier then I am that's what it is. She is really very pretty and I'm butt ugly," she thought making each scenario worse and worse.
It took half the day before she could come out of her room? "I'm sorry Debbie I didn't mean to go after you like that," Eliza said as she was finally calm enough to speak. "Don't worry about it I've done that plenty of times," Debbie said as they sat in her room. "So you going to tell me what happened?" Debbie said. After what seemed like forever Eliza began trying to stay calm. "Ashton used me," she said with trembles in her voice. "What!" Debbie said in disbelief that anyone could be so cruel to her little sis. "He was using me so she could get his old girlfriend back. You should have seen his look to her," Eliza said as she just sobbed into her hands not knowing how to handle the situation. Debbie did what she could to comfort her sister but everything she said made it worse. After what seemed like ages she finally calmed down and went back to her room.Over the next 2 days Eliza didn't improve any so she took Darwin and they left the house. "Darwin we have to get out of here," she said as she walked fast ahead of him almost panicky looking back and forth. "But Eliza we can't just take off what if something bad happens?" He said pulling her back. "Like what? What could be worse than being used by your boyfriend? She said as her eyes filled up with tears. She looked into the forest wanting to be anywhere but here and suddenly she felt sick to her stomach. "'Are you ok?" Darwin asked really worried about his friend. "Of course not!" she yelled at him for being so stupid and ran off into the forest. Debbie had a bad feeling about her being out in the woods as worked up as she is. She grabbed her coat and ran out the front door hoping Darwin was taking good care of her. She then saw Ashton walking down the street and she rammed him in the tree. "Why did you hurt my sister? Where is she? I can't believe you could be so cruel. You are going to help me find her and if there is even one scratch on her body you are dead!" she screamed into his face threatening him. He was just too terrified to respond so he just nodded.
Eliza and Darwin walked to the edge of the cliff as she just sniffled. "'
Why Darwin? I thought he cared about me," she cried as she fell to her knees as Darwin sat with her comforting her. Just as she sat quietly she heard a creaking sound coming from behind her and as she turned around what she saw horrified her.
Now in Antarctica Nigel slips on some ice as he is tracking down a rare penguin "You ok dear?" Marianne asked concerned as she watches him slip on his butt. "Of course dearest who do you think I am? He said cheerfully as she helped him up and continued filming the vast wonderlands of Antarctica. "Hey Nigel look it's your penguin," Marianne pointed out to his left. He slowly walks up to the penguin to get a closer look and as he did that the penguin saw him and took off trotting. "Get back her little penguin I wasn't done looking at you he said as he chased the bird around the area. Marianne just giggled at her husband as she watches him act like a little kid. He kept on chasing the bird as she kept filming once in awhile zooming in elsewhere. After what seemed like forever Nigel finally caught the bird with his hand and started talking about the bird as it bit him hard on his bit nose. "OW!" Nigel screeched as the penguin ran off fast as he could "Well it seems that bird didn't like to be held," Marianne said giggling even harder as she brought him some first aide stuff. "What's so funny? Nigel asked a bit annoyed. "Nothing, nothing, she answered back quickly. After that they went back home the evening before it gets any colder.
Debbie practically drug Ashton into the forest as he tried to explain why he did what he did. "Look, I didn't mean for her to get hurt, honestly," he begged her. "I was just trying to show Amanda what a jerk she was being," he finished as Debbie stopped dead in her tracks. "What the heck does that mean? You were using my sister you idiot! I don't care what excuse you have you hurt Eliza because of some other person who hates your guts! Am I right?" Debbie hissed in his face. "I…I…only…" he began but Debbie started at him again. "Answer the question! Yes or No!" she hissed in his face. "Yes," he said so quiet Debbie could hardly hear him. She threw him into the snow. "I swear if she gets hurt one little bit you are a dead man," Debbie said threatening him some more. She started north for her little sister calling for her every few feet getting more worried by the second. If she gets hurt I'll never forgive myself why did she run off? Why did this lousy punk hurt her to the point where she would run off? Debbie thought as she remembered back to about Eliza's age. Debbie was in the hall at her school where she just found out by a friend that her boyfriend dumped her. He dumped her for some freakishly lazy girl that is so blonde you could slap her in the face and she would think it was greeting. She was trying her best to not cause a scene so she just buried her face into her friends shoulder as they walked to the bathroom. "You know if he can choose a ditz like her over you then he isn't worth It: her friend said. "Thanks," she said as the bell rang. Ya I remember that day and she has to be even more sickened and confused not sure what to think. Debbie just glares at Ashton to the left as they look for Eliza. Shaking her head she can't figure out why a guy so sweet as him would hurt her like that. Suddenly Debbie hears an ear piercing scream only recognized as Eliza's terrified fading voice. "Eliza! she cries out leaving Ashton in the dust even forgetting about how angry she is with him. "hold on!" she shouts as the minutes seem to drag into hours. Moments later she reaches the cliff and slowly peers downward where Eliza is dangling for dear life, slipping in and out of consciousness. They both look at each other petrified and dash back to Sophie's as fast as they can.
Within an hour rescue teams are trying their hardest to recover her from a very tough spot. Debbie standing out of the way with her grandma knowing that; Eliza is a tough cookie but to fall down a cliff after being attacked is a miracle in itself. The fire men inch ever closer to putting her in a harness. Just as they start to get her body in it Debbie suddenly senses something terribly wrong. A split second later the firemen lose grip and she falls 200 ft. to the ground making the situation all the more dangerous. Laying there as stiff as a rock badly bruised and bleeding with a broken arm, possible broken leg maybe even worse. Debbie and Sophie peer over trembling at the sight of this little girl. Holding Donnie Debbie can only think this is all her fault, why did that have happen to her? Had I been keeping her company she wouldn't have ran away. Debbie thought to herself as she let some tears fall now hugging Donnie tightly. She can't lose her little brother either knowing him he could possible try and jump the cliff after her. After a slow and painful 2 hrs. the rescue teams finally get her up and are e-vacing her to a special hospital 4 ½ hours away. On the worst ride to the hospital to meet Eliza Debbie is trying to call her parents still in Antarctica and finally manages to get through. After the call they are on the emergency flight out to Arizona. "This is all my fault," Marianne says losing it forcing herself to stay calm. "I let them go home they should have stayed here with us and none of this would be happening right now," she says her voice trembling. Nigel doing his best to comfort her just can't. How could he when his whole world is turning upside down? It has only been a week since Donnie got back from the hospital and now Eliza. it's just too soon for anything too be ok. "Dearest it is not your fault, they decided to go and when we get back home everything will be just fine. You know how she bounces back," he says just trying to comfort her. It's just too much for her to handle. She is an absolute wreck.
