The Young and the Dramatic: Season Two
Episode 24: Sierra Learns the Shocking Truth
Bridgette sat on the couch, bawling her eyes out at what had just taken place.
"I can't believe this," she muttered to herself, "I've drawn apart the two people that have ever been faithful to me," she looked around the room, and saw photos of her and Duncan, and then her and Cody.
Flipping through the channels on the TV, Bridgette finally settled on the 5 o'clock news.
"—and in other news, we have an update on the fire that took place only yesterday night," Josh said, straightening his papers.
Bridgette sat out, and her eyes widened at the TV.
"An arrest has been made in the arson that destroyed the Wawanakwa Daily," Josh read off the teleprompter, "Cody Anderson is believed to be the arsonist,"
"What?" Bridgette sprang from the couch.
"Anderson, beloved principal of the Wawanakwa High School, turned himself in last night, stating he set the fire. No confirmation has been issued by Sheriff Hatchet," the anchor finished.
The surfer girl gasped, and looked back at the photo of her and Cody.
"I can't believe this," Bridgette muttered, "Cody turned himself in," she paused, "to save me,"
Izzy and Justin both looked at each other, and then back out to Alejandro, who stood in the doorway of Heather's apartment.
"What are you doing here?" Justin snapped, causing Alejandro to take a step back.
"I—"
Izzy took a step forward, producing her Taser from her pocket. Waving it in front of the arch villain, Alejandro gasped.
"If you kidnapped Heather, I swear we'll—"
"I didn't kidnap Heather!" Alejandro said, waving his hands in the air, "When I came back to the city, I heard about it, so I decided to come and see you,"
Alejandro looked at Justin with caring eyes, and the male model nodded.
"Fine," Justin said, grabbing the Taser out of Izzy's hand, "We'll hear what he has to say,"
Sierra stood in the interrogation room, looking through the false mirror as Hatchet sat with Cody.
"For the last time," Hatchet said, "You're protecting somebody, soldier!"
"I'm telling you," Cody groaned, "It was just me. I'm not protecting anybody. I set the fire,"
The two were quiet for a couple of minutes, and finally Hatchet spoke up again. He stared intently at Cody, causing Cody to sit back in his seat.
"You don't realize what's at stake here, do you?" Hatchet said, "You'll be thrown into jail. You'll lose your job, and your apartment—"
"I know!" Cody snapped, and let out a sigh, "Just take me in, OK?"
From behind the glass, Sierra raised a questionable eyebrow. She folded her arms, and pursed her lips. Grabbing her purse, she headed out the door.
Bridgette sat, looking at her picture with Cody.
She remembered the day so perfectly; the day she met Cody at the Wawanakwa High School. He refused to help her, but later came around. The surfer girl remembered their several adventures together as they searched for the answers to the Duncan Abraham case.
"And now I've ruined everything," she muttered.
Would she ever see Cody again? Would he ever forgive her? Would he ever get out prison?
These questions swirled in Bridgette's head as she got up from the couch, "No," she said, clenching her fists, "There has to be a reason why Cody did this for me," she sighed, "He must just be a good friend,"
She stopped herself, and turned to look at the photo once more.
"Or he must love—"
A knock at the door came, interrupting Bridgette. She walked over to it, and gasped as she saw Duncan standing in the doorway. He had a look of hurt on his face as he rushed in, and wrapped his arms around Bridgette.
"I'm sorry I doubted you," Duncan said.
Bridgette gulped, "Duncan, did you hear the news?"
Duncan raised an eyebrow, "About what?"
"When you two were getting married, I realized I only wanted Heather to be happy," Alejandro said, sitting down at the kitchen table, "So I left town,"
Justin raised an eyebrow.
"So you mean to tell me that you've been out of town this entire time, and you didn't tell anyone you were leaving," he asked.
"Who else would I have told?" Alejandro asked, "Does anyone in this town actually care about me? I have no family except for a brother who lives in Jamaica,"
Izzy folded her arms.
"I don't trust this dude," she looked over at Justin.
The model looked squarely into Alejandro's eyes, and he realized it, "Fine," he let out a sigh of disapproval, "I believe you. It doesn't mean that I trust you though,"
"Thanks," Alejandro nodded.
"Now," Justin sighed, "We're back where we started. Who kidnapped Heather, and why?" he asked.
"I'm going to help you find her," Alejandro said, "Let me rephrase; we're going to find her together,"
Justin nodded, standing up. He looked over to the window, and walked towards it.
"That is a given," he said, folding his arms.
Sierra sat in her apartment, flipping through her records. When she landed on a particular day several weeks ago, her eyes widened.
Bridgette came to visit me today, and told me she'd do anything to get back at me.
As the uber-fan read this, her eyes bugged out.
"It wasn't Cody," Sierra gasped, and then looked back out the window. Gulping, she looked back at the records.
"It was Bridgette,"
"Cody turned himself in for setting the fire," Bridgette breathed heavily, "I'm off the hook,"
Duncan's eyes widened, and smirked, "That's great, Bridgette!" he exclaimed happily. He smiled at the surfer girl, and shook his head in amazement, "I have something to tell you too,"
"What?" Bridgette asked, looking confused.
"I love you,"
Duncan closed his eyes, and cupped Bridgette's faces into his hands. He leaned in close to kiss Bridgette, and the two kissed passionately. When the two parted, Bridgette looked back at Duncan in shock.
"I don't know why," Duncan said, "But I think Gwen wanted us to be together, you know?"
"I—"Bridgette stammered, and finally let loose. She leaned back into kiss Duncan as well, and their kiss lasted several seconds. When they parted, Bridgette confirmed it.
"I love you too,"
Next on the Young and the Dramatic…
"The results are in, Ms. Price," the doctor said, looking from the papers to the blonde.
It's all come down to this…
Heather glared at her captor, and kicked them in the gut. "Nobody talks about Justin like that," she angrily snapped.
Secrets will be revealed…
"Please tell me this isn't happening," Lindsay's eyes widened.
Plans will be unveiled…
"I'll help you," Josh said, sighing, "But then I want nothing to do with you afterwards,"
"That's not possible," Zoey shook her head.
And in the end, nothing will remain the same…
"Soon Justin will be dead," the captor said, smirking at Heather, "and everyone will realize you two just weren't meant to be,"
