Thomas fallowed me out of the court house. when everyone had gotten on the bus and left (i had stayed behind, waiting for Ella) Thomas came and pushe me against the wall, hard. "What was that?" he said through gritted teeth, the bumppy concreate brick wall was digging into my back.

"You, heard Ella, she would bail him out," I said, my voice strained from pain. "reporters would be crowling the school trying to get a scoop on the little brat," I hissed. Thomas let me go and smiled, Ella was walking out he door with hunter, she had stoped to watch, while hunter kept walking. She caught Thomas's eye Then looked down and ran to catch up with hunter. Ella was an awesome actress.

"Fine, your off the hook...for now," Thomas walked away leaving me to find another way to the bordaing school, I couldn't go with Ella Hunter didn't know we had made up.

long story short, it was a very long walk home. 

I finally get back to my dorm, and my door was open a crack. I silently creep in, the light was off but the windows were open, I never do that. "Well it took you long enough." Jackson emerged from a dark corner. "Why in the world would you let that writer go, one less to get in our way, especilaly since he's close to that Ash girl," he said; FYI when he says our or us, he means him and Thomas. "Well," he said mockingly.

"It wasn't his fault, he was innocent," I reply.

"Uhh, you know you don't always have to be right, if taking down a couple writing brats means we pursue our plans, then who cares?" he said. "You know what I mean, considering what you did to Ella." his eyes shot daggers at mine. I was about to run at him but my phone beeped.

 
Emergency, need you at gumdrop asap -Lizzy

I shoved Jackson out, threw my phone into my pillow case, made sure no one was following me and raced to Ella's.

"What?" I asked; Ella was sitting on the floor hand on her ankle.

"I tripped over cucumber and I think I twisted my ankle. I can't stand." She winced as I tried to take her hand away her ankle. I helped her up on her bed and got her some ice, we agreed I would get her to the hospital if it was still bad in the morning.

~~~

The next morning I went over to Ella; she was sitting on her bed seeming as if she got no sleep. "I can't feel my ankle," she said tiredly. She wouldn't be able to walk there even if I helped her, I couldn't carry her, and my phone was in my dorm. "Here, just call quickly." She handed me her phone, and in about ten minutes a nurse was at the door.

"I can take it from here," she said in a sweet tone. She helped Ella out of bed and onto a wheelchair; we don't know if she will need one, but there was no other way to transport her.

"I'll come after class." I try to reasure her. She nods and winces as she tries to put weight on her ankle. I run to the Gym, hoping I'm not late. I'm not.

"All right, today we will start off a little different, if anyone has any info about a LIZZY tell me and you'll have a week off from PE torture," Thomas yells. Jackson smirks at me and waves my phone. Thomas waves the students away, and pulls me aside, "If I find out that this LIZZY is Ella Turnleaf, you will be sorry Leo."

~~~

After the rest of PE, which by the way was somewhat normal, I run over to the hospital. Ella was in the waiting room in a chair, next to her were crutches, I really hope they weren't hers.

"Leo." I walked over to her and saw her foot in a cast. "It's not broken, just sprained, here help me up." I put her arm around my neck and gently lifted her up; she grabbed the crutches and started walking around (more like hopping with crutches). "See, I'm fine; the nurse says I'll be back in class tomorrow and I'll only have the cutches for a week, then I can walk on it again." Great so Ella was as defenceless as ever; what was Thomas going to do?

GUYS. NEWS. Sorry, had to get your attention. Anyways, we ended camping early due to some... very complicated issues. AKA horrible camp site and dreadful people, keeping us up until 1 or so in the morning. Yeah, that bad. Good news: I am back early with my characters. I caught up on everything I missed, and it is amazing! Ella is such an amazing actor, pulled it off perfectly. The trial went great as well. 

*Finally returns to RPing* 

The Dance will be Monday. I will be on all day, mostly in the afternoon. You can post whenever that day.

I stop by Ash's room one last time for the day. The nurse walks in to check her vitals, and at first not much shows up.

"Appears to be the same as the past few days," the nurse says, giving me a sad smile. "Sorry, sweetie. Looks like she might not be waking up anytime soo-"

It is as if everything freezes. I'm holding the framed picture of Ash and me in my hand. I rarely let it go nowadays. The nurse looks down at her radar and jumps back. The practically flatlines are spiking up, a good sign. She shouts for a doctor to quickly come. Ash is awakening.

I reach down into my phone and text Ella. Ash is waking up! Within seconds I get a reply saying I'll be there ASAP.

I sit in the blue chair next to Ash's side, holding her wrist, feeling her pulse awaken. I can't help but feel a giant grin forming on my face. I was beginning to lose hope of her ever waking up. Of them having to pull the life plug. She stirs more, pulse turning more and more regular by the second.

Within minutes Ella steps in the room and drags her limp foot with crutches to my side. She takes hold of Ash's hand and looks up at me. We can't help but laughing with joy as Ash's eyes flutter open and stare softly at us. At first, confusion appears. Then a smile breaks loose and she sits up, seeming perfectly fine. I stand up, give Ash a huge, and Ella joins in.

This will be something I will never forget. 

"I've missed you," I say softly.

"Same," Ella adds.

"If I was awake, I know I would have missed you guys even more," Ash says, her voice rough with lack of water. "You have no idea how much you two mean to me."

Ella and I sit down as the doctor comes in, barking commands to multiple nurses and assistants. They hook IVs into Ash's wrists and arms, and instruct her to lay down. At least ten people surround her, and we are gently pushed back. The main nurse - the one who has been with Ash the entire time - gently hushes us out of the room.

"Sweeties, your friend will be free to leave in less than an hour," she says, smiling.

Even the nurse seemed geniuinly happy.

"Thank you so much," I say, tears brimming my eyes. "Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome," she says softly. "We'll catch whoever did this to her, I promise."

Ella and I bid the good nurse farewell, take one last glance at Ash, and head back to our dorms.

"Just one more hour," Ella says, face excited. "Then Ash will be back with us."

"I almost feel bad," I say, memories coming back. "Now she will have to deal with Thomas."

"At least we will be there with her," Ella says.

She was right. We'll do this together. 

I wake up, my head feeling as if it is split in two. The first thing I see is Hunter and Ella standing over me, huge grins on their faces. Ignoring the pain, I embrace the two, choking with excitement. I remember nothing, nothing at all, while asleep. The last thing I remembered was texting Hunter saying - in typos - hrlp.

Now I am awake. Within seconds I am surrounded by nurses and doctors, as my friends are ushered away. Pain shoots through my arm and wrists where IVs enter, and the world starts to go dark.

"You'll be up and moving in less than an hour," a sweet, old nurse says. "It's okay, sweetie, I promise."

I wake up in the hospital bed, bandages wrapped around my arm. The same friendly nurse stands over me, a soft smile.

"You are free to go, but before you do so, who did this?" She asks.

"Thomas," I say flatly. "He or the Principal are the only ones with the power and knowledge to do so."

The nurse gives me a sad look and shakes her head.

"We thought the same, but Thomas is so... innocent. He could never have done that."

"Innocent?!" I growl. "He is a murderer, thief, hacker, bully, attacker, blackmailer, and torturer! He is the only reason I am here today. The only reason Soren ended up in the hospital last year. The only reason-"

"Sweetie, I understand. He isn't the best of beings, but I do not believe he could inflict such damage," the nurse says. "Just go home and get some rest. Your friends are waiting for you."

I nod, resentful and annoyed by the school's blindness. Head high and feeling well, I walk out of the hospital wing.

No matter what

I will stop Thomas. 

Keep on posting guys! Top TOP TOP TOP Top TOP.

gared, this is Elmodaisy. I am a little confused; is the dance on Sunday or Monday? Thanks in advance.
