Okay not a lot of reviews for the last chapter =(. Then again I am posting this a hell of a lot sooner than I expected to be. But I am at my aunt's and bored out of my mind so I decided to type up the next chapter.

Chapter 11

"Pause the tape, and let's go to the library real quick." Atticus said, standing up.

"Why?" Chazz asked befuddled.

"To see the picture." Syrus said. Atticus nodded his head.

"Well, lets get going!" Jaden had a grin on his face. "I'll race you there!" Then he ran in the direction of the library.

"HEY! JAY! WAIT UP!" Syrus called out. He ran after his best friend.

Bastion laughed before joining them in a light jog. Leaving Chazz and the two elder Obelisk students together.

"What the hell! Don't leave me here!" Chazz ran after them as well.

Atticus shook his head. "Kids theses days." He had a huge grin on his face.

Zane looked at Atticus. "Have you seen yourself recently?"

"HEY! WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN TRUESDALE?" Atticus growled out.

"You are a kid." Zane jeered. He smirked at his best friend.

"Only at heart!" Atticus huffed.

Zane gave out a small, jovial laugh. "Whatever, Rhodes." Then the two eldest students ran to catch up to the younger group members.

Once they were at the library, the headed in the direction of the old dictionary. The opened the book and saw a picture flipped upside down.

Zane flipped the picture over. It was a picture of Alice and Alexis. It had the date and time on it as well.

Alice seemed very uncomfortable. Alexis had a huge grin on her face. Her smile was mischievous and so uncommon on her face. Her arm was around Alice's shoulder. Atticus didn't like it. It seemed so unnatural for his sister's appearance that it made him nervous. Zane didn't like it either. Her smile didn't touch her eyes and that made him frown.

"There's a note below the tally marks." Bastion commented.

Everyone's gaze turned to the dictionary, and below the tally marks. There was indeed a note.

Alice-

Well, I told you I had proof. Here it is; there are also more copies, so don't think you can throw this away and pretend it never existed. Because by the time you know of this, there will already be too many people who know about it.

~Alexis Rhodes

"Wow," Jaden whistled. "She thought of everything."

"Yes, she calculated all of this quiet well." Bastion nodded in agreement.

"How long did she have to actually plan all of this?" Chazz asked.

"The party was when she decided to kill herself; it had been a one month since she had died. We have been listening to the tapes for two weeks and two days." Atticus began to add up the math.

"No, we listened to the tape for two days, but after Chazz's tape you avoided him for two weeks. So we had the tapes for two weeks and two days, but we have only listened to them for two days." Zane corrected his friend.

"Well, Mr. Technical, anything else you would like to inform me on?" Atticus jibed.

"Nah, I am good." Zane smirked.

"Let's head back to the dorm." Atticus said. The others nodded their head and headed towards the blue dorm.

I wanted to say right off the bat before I start the next tape that Zane, you shouldn't be on theses tapes. The only reason why you are was because I felt like I needed to apologize. So here it is. I'm sorry that I chickened out. Yeah, I could have faced everything that was happening to me, but do you know how hard it is to do something like that all alone? I had no one to turn too.

"She had us." Atticus said.

"She knew that, but the thing she didn't know was would she be able to trust us. We could have hurt her." Zane murmured.

I should have tried to reach out more, but I gave so many clues and no one noticed. Besides, I didn't want to make out a false cry for help. People already thought I was just in to suicide for attention. That made perfect sense; just because I asked to learn about suicide--anonymously-- I am desperate for attention; I would go as far committing my own death just to get attention. Like would receive any attention where I was going.

Jaden gulped. He felt bad about saying that in class, but had he known it was Alexis who did it, he would have taken action immediately. He knew Alexis was not one to joke around about something so serious. That was like Atticus being serious about not flirting with girls ever again--it was un heard of.

But what I am sorry for the most, is that I let you guys down. I always wanted to be perfect. It was a goal, and it was something someone had to earn. But when the ideas of suicide hit, the voice would always say: 'Why perfection? You aren't going to reach it.' I wanted to be the perfect weight, the perfect student, the perfect friend, the perfect everything. Everything that I could control, I would. Why I never took control about who I dated was because I was striving to be the perfect sister, the person Atty would love no matter what. That seemed more important at the time.

"I just noticed that she was able to say suicide multiple times." Bastion inquired.

"That is because she already made up her mind about it." Atticus bit back a snarl.

So, I'm sorry Zane. I should have done better. I should have known better. I am sorry, but there is nothing else to do but to move on. So how about we get back to the story. Jaden, this is where you come in.

All eyes turned towards Jaden, the last one in the group on Alexis's list.

"I wonder what it was that you did, Jay." Syrus said.

"I think I know why…but I am not sure if I am right." Jaden said aloud.

"Will you two just shut up?" Chazz snapped.

Remember that girl that kept nudging me with her elbow? Well she was with you Jaden. You guys came into the room--totally wasted--and started to make out. So, there goes Chazz's theory about you, Jaden, being gay, then again it could be the alcohol.

You guys made out for a good thirty minutes. I was in the closet the whole time. I couldn't escape. If I tried you would see me, and right then I did not want to be seen. I didn't even want to be alive. Apparently she became on responsive, and that made you a little upset.

Atticus's eyes shifted in Jaden's direction. A frown was evident on his face. Jaden noticed this and blinked.

No, you didn't try anything. You were a good guy. You tucked her in and left. I figured that could be my moment of escape. I opened the closet door once I heard the girl's even breathing. I grabbed the handle, about to turn it when I heard your voice, along with someone else's.

"Come on, I just want to see if she is okay. I wouldn't do anything to her." A male voice I knew but it shall remain nameless in this tape.

"No," You responded. It sounded like you were playing hero; good guy verses bad guy. The good guy trying to protect the fair maiden locked away while she rests and the antagonist desperate to make sure the protagonist fails. You seemed like you were doing well until he said something only you would believe.

"Come on, I won't be in there long. I have to work the night shift at the Deux Passé." And you believe him. I see the door knob jiggle as I let go. I scurried across the room and back into the closet. The girl was totally wasted so even if she did wake up, she wouldn't remember I was there. That guy, however, was sober. There was no alcohol in his system at the time this all took place.

"What happened Jay?" Syrus asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it, Sy." Jaden responded. He stared at the cartridge intently. He looked at none of the eyes that were gazed upon him.

"What was the girl's name?" Chazz asked.

"That is confidential, Chazz." Jaden said, his eyes never leaving the cassette player.

I could have stopped it, but so could you. You had the chance to stop what went on numerous of times. I can list you two right off the bat: 1) You should have never let him in the room in the first place. 2) When five minutes had pasted and he was still in there you should have checked what the hell was going on.

I won't hold it against you though, Jaden. I could have stopped it to. I witnessed it happening. I could have spoken up. I could have came out from my hiding spot and made him stop. I didn't. You are not the only one to blame, all three of us are.

"All three of us?" Syrus inquired.

"Me, Alexis, and the guy." Jaden said.

"Will you tell us what guy?" Bastion questioned. Jaden shook his head no.

We can not change the past though. Our mistakes make us who we are, but for this present predicament our mistakes also caused a girl to get raped. If you are not at fault then neither am.

"You let a girl get raped?" Atticus inquired. All eyes were on Jaden.

"I didn't know she was!" Jaden snapped. He looked like he was about to cry. "If I knew I would have stopped it."

The guy finally left. It felt like hours he was in that room, but it was probably only about maybe fifty minutes to an hour max. As soon he left the room. I opened the door and saw you Jaden. Your eyes were wide. You realized what happened in that room. You realize that I knew you let him in there, that I was there for the whole thing. For a moment I wanted to comfort you, but then that voice came back. "How can you comfort someone when you can't even comfort yourself?" It sneered at me. So I bolted away from you. My mind began to clutter and white out. I ran out down the corridor--only seeing white as I passed by all these objects I knew should have been there--and I headed towards my goal, the outside.

I made it there, out of breath. I scanned the area to make sure the coast was clear. It wasn't a hundred percent clear, but clear enough that no one would notice that I was leaving. There a few people in the vicinity at the time, but one person stuck out the most.

Alice.

"Alice!" I called out to her. She turned in my direction. She seemed shocked when she saw me.

"A-Alexis?" She stuttered my name.

"Yeah, its me." My voice was cold. It was almost like Zane's--emotionless, void.

I grabbed her arm and gazed around the area. I found someone who I didn't expect to be here, but was thankful he was. Jesse. Why would I be grateful that he was here? It was because of his camera. See, I was already going to die--I would make sure of it.

Atticus closed his eyes. He didn't want to hear that. He wanted to block that last sentence out of his head. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Zane's. The elder Truesdale didn't say anything but his message was clear: Calm down.

So I decided that I should make a few other people get what they deserve. One of them was Alice. Everyone thought she was so nice, well she wasn't. She used people for her own gain. She wasn't the benevolent soul that people believe her to be. She was a con artist and I was going to make sure someone saw, by that picture.

"Jesse!" I called out to him. He looked at me. His expression was shocked.

"Take a picture of us." I told him.

"What?" He asked. He had the camera, I wanted him to take a picture. That wasn't hard to comprehend. He misused the camera before. He was only suppose to use it for the Duel Academy year book, but I wanted him to misuse it again. This time, for my reasons.

"Just take a picture of me and Alice." I growled out. I was becoming impatient.

"Alright." He said. He lifted the camera lens to his eyes. He focused the camera on me and Alice. My hand was around shoulders and I grinned. For once, I was glad that Duel Academy year book editor--Dr. Crowler--was so cheap. I grabbed the picture as soon as it came out of the slot in the camera and looked at it.

I looked like I was perfectly fine, both physically and mentally. Alice looked like she was nervous. I grinned. The picture was perfect.

"Thanks!" I said. Then I left with the picture in hand. I went to the library and made copies, placed them with people I deemed needed them, and placed the original in the dictionary.

But, let me get back to Jaden. The whole reason why you received this tape instead of the guy who raped the girl, was because you would send the tapes to the next person. He wouldn't. So you got these instead.

So tell me what you think of this chapter. I hope you guys like it. =)
