The Young and the Dramatic: Season Two

Episode 15: Anne Maria Learns the Shocking Truth

Anne Maria sat in the diner the next morning, sipping a cup of coffee. She scrolled through her phone, seeing the latest updates on the Carmichael Disappearance. After planning their marriage, Anne Maria felt at least compelled to keep up with the news.

After taking another drink from her coffee mug, Momma DJ wheeled over to her on her roller-skates.

"How you feeling, sugar?" she asked, taking a seat in the booth across from Anne Maria.

"Fine, thanks," Anne Maria said, curiously raising an eyebrow.

Momma DJ nodded, "Just making sure, with everything that has been going on, don't you think?" she stated. When she saw Anne Maria's face, Momma DJ continued, "With you and Lightning that is,"

"Oh," Anne Maria waved it away, "That was weeks ago. Lightning isn't cheating on me. We're in a happy relationship,"

"Then why was he in here with that Eva on a date a couple of weeks ago?" Momma DJ asked, raising an eyebrow.

A knock was heard, and Hatchet looked up from his laptop. He sighed as he saw Holmes standing in the doorway, holding a manila folder.

"Do you have a minute?" Holmes asked, and then walked in and sat down without permission, "Good, because I need to speak with you about something,"

"Sure," Hatchet rolled his eyes.

"Where were you in your life about thirty years ago?" Holmes said, "You are in your sixties, is that correct?"

Hatchet nodded, "Why does this matter?"

"Just asking," Holmes shrugged, "Where were you?"

"Married, and just starting out as a deputy in this city," Hatchet said, and got up from his seat, "I have to started on something, so I don't have time to answer questions of nonsense," he was about to leave until Holmes spoke up.

"So who was this Pam I've heard about?" Holmes said, raising an eyebrow.

"She's ruining everything," Bridgette said, to which Duncan nodded in agreement.

"Sierra's a liar," Duncan mumbled.

"I know," Bridgette nodded in agreement, "And I'm so tired of listening to her at all of these press announcements. The book is poorly written anyway—"

"Bridgette,"

The surfer girl didn't listen, and continued to ramble on in the kitchen of her apartment. The bad boy finally stood up.

"Bridgette," Duncan said, "Shut up," he added this with a smirk to ensure he was only joking.

Hatchet raised an eyebrow, and shut the door he was just about to exit through. Spinning around on his heels, he folded his arms.

"What is it to you?" Hatchet asked.

Holmes stood up, and his eyes enlarged as if he had struck gold, "Everyone who I've asked have told me that you used to be married to a woman named Pam,"

"And what if it is true?"

"I'd like to know how she died," Holmes folded his arms, "Right now,"

"He was what," Anne Maria snapped, with her eyebrow twitching. She nearly dropped her coffee mug, but ended up slamming it onto the table.

Momma DJ gasped.

"You two are still together?" she asked in an alarmed tone, "But—"

"They were cheating," the Jersey Shore reject stood up, groaning, "Not only was it Lightning, but it was with Eva as well,"

"I'm so sorry, honey," Momma DJ said, standing up as well. She opened up her arms for Anne Maria to hug her, but the girl refused, but instead folded her arms.

"She's going to pay," Anne Maria said through gritted teeth.

"I have to get to work," Bridgette said, grabbing her purse. She turned back to look at Duncan, "Will you be alright here today?"

Duncan chuckled, "I think I might head down to the diner, and then back to my place," he said.

"That works," the surfer girl said, "Just make sure you lock up before you leave," she checked her phone, "I should probably call Cody. I haven't talked to him in a while,"

"Yeah," Duncan said, almost in a sad tone, "Cody,"

Bridgette shrugged off his comment, and then headed towards the door.

"See you around, Abraham," she said, before leaving. Duncan watched her leave, and once she closed the door behind her, he let out a deep sigh. Looking around the apartment, he realized something.

He was falling in love with Bridgette.

"I never said she died," Hatchet said.

Holmes' raised an eyebrow, "Or did you?" he chuckled, and pulled out a notebook, "Tell me Hatchet. What does it hurt if you tell me?"

"Look here," the sheriff leaned in close to the detective, "This is my town, and I don't like you harassing my citizens. And that includes me as well. You can just pack your stuff, and get out of this town,"

"Sure," Holmes rolled his eyes. He scribbled something down in his notepad, "I'll see you around Hatchet,"

The detective then left the office, leaving a confused Hatchet.

"Something isn't right," Hatchet said with a sigh.

Anne Maria rushed into the gym, where she noticed Lightning walking towards the front desk where Eva was standing.

"Oh, hell no," she quickly snapped, throwing her purse on the floor. She threw an accusing finger in Lightning's direction, "You bastard!"

Both were taken off guard by Anne Maria's sudden outburst, and a scowl formed across Eva's face.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave—"Eva started.

"You don't get to talk," Anne Maria said, and then turned to Lightning, "How could you do this to me? I loved you with all of my heart! Then you go and cheat on me with this skank? What the hell are thinking? And the fact that I have to find out about it from Momma DJ is just so messed up!"

Lightning's jaw dropped.

"What—"

"And one more thing," Anne Maria said, "We're over!" She turned over to glare at Eva, and then spun on her heels, and grabbed her purse. As she left the gym, she picked out her phone, quickly changing her relationship status on her FaceSplash profile.

Justin was just leaving the general store when his phone vibrated. Noticing it was an unknown number, he picked it up, thinking it was Izzy.

"Hello?" he answered.

"I'm back," the modified voice said, "You better pay attention to me now, Foreman. I have your pretty little wife in my possession,"

Justin nearly dropped his bags.

"You let her go," Justin quickly snapped, "Or else—"

"You have nothing to threaten me with," the voice said, "But on the contrary, I have something to threaten you with,"

The male model shook his head.

"This isn't happening," he quickly told himself, "I have people searching for you at this very moment. They will find you, and they will kill you—"

"Do everything I ask," the voice said, "Or else you'll never see Heather again,"

"Yes," the voice purred into the phone outside the police station, "I'm very close to getting him in for it. This is obviously working. He was sweating like a pig,"

The voice chuckled, and waited for the response.

"Oh, believe me," Holmes said, "He won't know what hit him,"

Next on the Young and the Dramatic…

"Make a choice," Eva said, "Me or Anne Maria,"

Memories are remembered…

Josh sighed as he looked through the photo albums, and came across a particular photo.

Troubles are continued…

"You're hiding something," Holmes smirked.

And the drama never stops…

Hatchet scrolled through the call log, and gasped at his findings.
