The Young and the Dramatic: Season Two
Episode 26: Heather and Justin Struggle to Fight
Alejandro squinted in the darkness.
"I'll never join you," he snapped, "Not after what you've done to Heather! I loved her, and you tore her away from happiness!"
"Such strong words, coming from the guy who Justin suspects really kidnapped her," the captor smirked, "After all; you were the one who killed her,"
The arch villain's jaw dropped.
"What the hell are you talking about?" his eyes widened, "You killed Heather? I'll kill you!"
The captor shook their head, "No, you killed her. Everyone will suspect it was you after all. Sure, I killed her, but you will be held accountable,"
"I'll tell them it was you!" Alejandro cried out.
"Who would ever believe you? You ran over Justin, and you disappeared the night Heather went missing," the captor folded their arms again, "You have a pretty hefty fine above your head,"
Alejandro gasped, "How did you know that I ran over Justin?" he snapped; his fists were clenching.
"I've been planning this for years," the captor said, "And now it's finally going to work,"
"What can I do to make you stop?" Alejandro said, bowing his head in defeat.
"Join me, and you can get the revenge you've always wanted on Justin," the captor smirked, folding their arms.
Bridgette woke up in her bed, and looked over to see Duncan lying next to her, fast asleep.
It had only been two days ago that the two had professed their love for each other, and now they were practically living together. However, as much as they had made out, and made love, Bridgette was still distracted.
"What's the matter?"
The surfer girl looked over to see a shirtless Duncan smiling at her. She gave him a weak smile, and stood up from the bed.
"Something is bothering me," she let out a sigh.
Duncan cocked an eyebrow, and got out of bed. Walking towards her, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Before he could say anything, Bridgette blurted it out.
"I have to know why he covered for me," Bridgette said, folding her arms.
Noah and Katie sat in a booth at the Wawanakwa Diner, eating lunch together.
"These past couple days have been amazing, Noah," Katie said, smiling. Noah looked up, and the two's eyes met.
"I know," Noah smiled, "I'm so glad you almost drowned,"
The sweet girl raised an eyebrow in confusion, and then burst out laughing, with the bookworm soon following. After a few seconds, Katie let out a deep sigh.
"What's the matter?" Noah asked, noticing her hesitation.
"Noah," Katie said, leaning forward, "I have something to tell you,"
A few booths down from the two, Justin sat, checking his watch. He looked back up at the door, and let out a loud sigh. Neither Izzy nor Alejandro had shown up for lunch, and now Justin was sitting alone.
Grabbing his coat, he stood up.
"If they won't come here," Justin groaned, "Then I'll go find them myself,"
The captor snuck into the room, and looked at Heather unconscious in the chair. Smirking down at the queen bee, they crossed their arms and sat down on the couch.
"Sooner or later," they said, "Justin will come to save you. And then I will have my revenge,"
"Can't you just let it go?" Duncan asked as the two sat at the kitchen table. They had just gotten their showers, and were getting ready for the day, "He's pretty much intent on taking the blow for you,"
Bridgette shook her head.
"I need to know why," Bridgette said, "I realize he is my friend, but I don't want him to be that much of a true friend,"
"If he wants to help you, let him," Duncan folded his arms, "I just don't think it's' necessary for you to go find him,"
The surfer girl turned to the bad boy, with daggers in her eyes.
"I'm going whether you like it or not," Bridgette snapped.
Duncan held up his hands in defense, "Go right ahead, sweetheart," he rolled his eyes and went back to sipping his coffee.
"What do you need to tell me so badly?" Noah chuckled, taking sip of his coffee.
"It's actually something serious," Katie let out a deep sigh, "You know my roommate Sadie?"
Noah chuckled.
"The one who absolutely despises me, and wants me to have nothing to do with you?" he asked.
"That's the one," Katie said, "She wants us to break up, Noah," her eyes met with Noah, "And—"
"Do you want to break up?" Noah suggested.
"Look Izzy," Justin said, walking down the hallway, "I'm going to see if I can find Alejandro,"
"Fine," Izzy's voice sounded raspy, "I'm going to take the motorcycle for a ride. Call me when you find that idiot. Just don't trust him,"
Justin rolled his eyes, and hung up. He pounded on Alejandro's apartment door, and when nothing came, he let out a groan.
"Alejandro!" Justin snapped, "Its Justin!"
A loud moan came from the room, and Justin raised an eyebrow in suspicion. He kicked open the door, and ran inside to find a bloody Alejandro lying on the floor.
"What the hell happened here?" he snapped, leaning down next to the arch villain, "Are you alright?" he cupped Alejandro's face in his hands, and looked down at him, "Who did this to you?"
"She did,"
Justin raised an eyebrow.
"Alejandro, who's she? Who are you talking about?" he shouted.
"She wanted me to join her, but I refused. She's going to kill Heather. You have to stop her," he moaned.
Justin shook the Latino a few more times, "Who are you talking about, Alejandro? Tell me, and I can stop all of this!"
Alejandro looked up to Justin, and muttered a single name.
"Izzy,"
Bridgette sat down at the table, looking at Cody sitting across from her.
"I'm glad you could see me," Bridgette said, and smiled warmly at the tech geek. He was now in an orange jumpsuit, looking miserable, "Cody, what are you doing here?"
"Taking the fall for you," Cody said, folding his arms, "That's what,"
"But I never asked you to do this. I—"
"No one ever asked you to save me when I was kidnapped," Cody reasoned, raising an eyebrow.
Bridgette was lost for words, until she continued, "But why did you do this for me? Surely its' not because I helped save you weeks ago; there has to be a better reason,"
The two stared at each other for several seconds until Cody let out a deep sigh.
"No!" Katie let out shriek, alarming everyone in the room, "I don't want to break up with you. I love you too much,"
Noah gasped, and his eyes widened. When he settled, he nodded.
"I love you too," the two said, and leaned forward, and greeted each other with a kiss on the lips.
Outside the diner, Sadie was walking down the sidewalk and saw the two kissing through the window. Her hands balled into fists, and she let out a groan.
"God dammit!" she shouted, and marched off down the sidewalk.
Justin raced out of the apartment, and towards the stairs. As he ran, he saw his phone ringing. The caller ID read Alejandro.
"What do you want?" he snapped as he charged down the steps.
"You have no idea what Izzy is capable of! She almost killed me," Alejandro said, "And that was only because I wouldn't join her! You have no idea what she'll do to you! You're the one who she's after!"
"I don't care—"
Alejandro groaned, "Let me come with you! We can stop her together!"
Justin hung up the phone, and threw it against the wall. As it shattered, Justin left it behind.
He had to save Heather.
Geoff sat the suitcase in the car, and looked over to Lindsay.
"That's everything," he smiled, and leaned down to kiss Lindsay, "I can't wait to get you all moved into my apartment,"
Lindsay let out a deep sigh, and rubbed her belly. It was now flat, as the baby had been taken out. Looking over to see Alma and Richard standing in the doorway of her old house, she walked over to them.
"I promise you," Lindsay said, giving her mother and father hugs, "I will be back,"
"Just don't run away," Alma reminded her.
Richard nodded in agreement, and looked out to Geoff, who was leaning against his car, "Does this boy make you happy, Princess?" when he saw his daughters' smile, he let out a sigh, "Then I'm happy,"
"Just don't get pregnant again," Alma blurted out, "I mean, until you're ready, sweetie,"
Everyone was quiet for a few seconds, and then Lindsay started chuckling, "Trust me," she assured them, "That won't be happening for a while with Geoff," she turned around to look at Geoff, "He's different,"
"Amen," Richard muttered.
Lindsay sighed, "Well, we should get going. I love you both," she gave them more hugs, and then walked over to the car, where Geoff opened up the door.
Alma and Richard watched as Geoff backed the car out of the driveway, and drove down the street, leaving Wawanakwa City.
"She's happy," Richard nodded.
"That's all we ever wanted," Alma confirmed. She then turned and followed her husband back into the mansion.
Justin stood outside of Heathers' apartment, and let out a deep sigh. He had to get inside, but he had no way of knowing if Izzy was waiting for him or not. Throwing his fears behind him, Justin kicked open the door.
As he stepped inside, he was met with darkness. The door swung close behind him, and Justin grabbed the gun he held in his pocket.
"Heather," he shouted, "Are you in here?"
A single light on, and Heather was shown struggling in a chair. Justin gasped, and dropped the gun. He rushed towards Heather, and started at untying her bounds.
"Oh," a voice purred, "That won't be necessary. She's going to die, binds or no binds,"
Justin turned around to see Izzy stepping out of the darkness with his gun in her hand. She was aiming it straight at Justin.
Noah and Katie stood outside of Katie's apartment, smiling at each other.
"Thanks for the lunch," Katie smiled, and then leaned forward to kiss Noah on the lips. However, the bookworm stopped her, pointing at the door.
"Are you sure we won't be interrupted?" he asked.
Katie waved the threat away, "its fine. I don't care if she sees anymore," she leaned forward and kissed her boyfriend. The kiss lasted for several seconds, and when they parted, Noah raised an eyebrow.
"She must not be home," Noah shrugged, "Good,"
"I'll see you later," Katie nodded, and then watched Noah walk back down the hallway, and round the corner. She stepped into her apartment, only to find several furniture items missing, "What the—"
The sweet girl looked down on the coffee table to see a letter waiting for her. The name on the envelope read "Katie".
"Why, Izzy?" Justin cried out, "Why are—"
"Shut up," Izzy ordered, and pointed the gun towards the couch, "Sit over there. I have a story to tell,"
The two sat in silence as Izzy moved about the room, waving the gun in the air.
"I met Justin years ago," Izzy said, "And we fell in love. He loved me, and I loved him," she smirked as she saw Justin and Heather exchanging glances, "But then we split up for reasons unmentionable,"
She exchanged a glance with Justin, and winked at him. Heather started to fume in anger, and she struggled to get out of her binds.
"Then I assume he met you," Izzy snapped, pointing the gun at Heather, "You little broad!" she shrieked, "But after you were over, I assumed Justin and I could get back together," she shook her head in disappointment, "But when that fell through, I came mad with revenge,"
Justin stood up.
"Izzy, you don't have to do this. I loved you, but now I've moved on. You have to move on too," he said, stepping towards her.
"Shut up!" Izzy shrieked, pointing the gun at him, "I'm not done," Justin sat back down, and Izzy continued, "Then when he came to me with plans, I knew I just had to help him," she let out a deep sigh.
"What are you talking about?" Justin asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Izzy shook her head, "It doesn't matter anymore. What matters right now is that its' all going to be over for you two," she waved the gun madly. She advanced towards Heather, and Justin gasped.
"No!" Justin shouted, rushing forward, "Don't hurt her!"
Cody leaned forward, "Bridgette, there is something I need to tell you," he said, lowering his voice.
The surfer girl raised an eyebrow, "What is it Cody?"
"The reason why I took the fall for you," Cody said, "It wasn't just because I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me,"
"Then what was it Cody?" Bridgette raised an eyebrow, "What are you trying to tell me?"
"I—"
Bridgette leaned forward, "What is it, Cody?"
"I love you," Cody blurted out.
Izzy leaned over Heather, pointing the gun to her head. Justin lunged forward, but was met with Izzy turning the gun onto him. She pressed the trigger, and Justin jumped back, narrowly missing the bullet.
The stray bullet hit the fireplace mantle.
"Stop it Izzy! Somebody is going to die!" he cried.
The redhead let out a mad cackle, "That's the plan, Justin," she shrieked, and turned the gun back onto Heather. The damsel in distress turned to Justin, and closed her eyes, preparing for her final seconds.
Just as Izzy raised the gun, and was prepared to shoot Heather in the head, when a bullet flung through the air.
The bullet struck Izzy in the back, and she tumbled back. She looked at Justin with a look of shock as blood spurted out of her chest, where the bullet had gone straight through her. As she scrambled around, she dropped the gun on Heather's head, and the chair tumbled back with Heather in it.
The redhead finally tumbled back once more, and crashed through the window. As she fell through the window, Justin looked over to see Alejandro standing in the doorway, pointing a gun at the spot where Izzy stood.
"She was right," Alejandro said, "Someone was going to die. And it wasn't going to be Heather,"
-and this is why I had to leave, Katie. You have to make a choice; Noah or me.
-Sadie
Katie gasped as she finished reading the letter left from Sadie. Tears flooded her eyes as she set the letter down.
"She left," she sighed, "Because of me,"
Justin and Alejandro stood at the window, and saw Izzy's motionless body down on the sidewalk. A crowd was beginning to form around her body, and the two were suddenly interrupted by a noise.
"Ugh,"
The model turned around to see Heather struggling with the chair. Justin rushed to her, and untied the binds, and pulled her out of the chair.
"Help me with her," Justin said to Alejandro. The two hoisted her up, and set her on the couch, "Heather, are you alright?"
Heather blinked, and looked up at Justin. She looked from Alejandro and then back to her husband.
"Who—"
"It's me Justin," Justin said, and reached down to hug her, "It's alright. You're OK now, Heather,"
Heather raised an eyebrow, and sat up on the couch.
"Who are you?" she said, cocking her head to the side.
