13 Reasons Why Hannah Baker Lived

Chapter 47: It's Not Supposed To Be Easy For People Like Us

Me & Clay have told Alex that we know it was him. We know that he killed Bryce. Alex apologized to Clay for letting him get arrested as he just watched. Alex felt guilt, we can see it on his face. Everyone did their part. We've all allowed Ani to tell Alex's dad everything. Well, almost everything. We brought Alex to the others as we all filled Alex in on Ani's plan back at Clay's & Justin's outhouse. The plan is to frame Monty. Jessica had the tape that Bryce gave her and it's covered in his blood. She gave it to Justin who gave it to Charlie who planted it in Monty's football locker. The police will then want to talk to Charlie about Monty's alibi. Originally Monty said that he was with Charlie that night, but that was a lie. Honestly, I don't know where he was that night. Next, the police will ask us about our whereabouts. Tyler will say that he was with Alex, Justin & Jessica will say they were together, and Clay & Ani will say they were together. Zach already confessed to beating up Bryce, breaking his arm & leg. Can't believe Zach did that on one leg. As we all sat in the outhouse, we had to tell Alex the sad news about Monty.

Alex Standall: It's fucked up about Monty. How did Ani know?

Zach Dempsey: Well, Tim Pozzi was in the County lock-up when it happened. And he ended up getting out that morning, so he told Luke, who told Charlie, Charlie told Justin, Justin to Ani.

Alex Standall: Poor Monty. I mean, I can't believe I'm saying that, but...

Zach Dempsey: You... asked Tyler for a gun today?

Alex Standall: Yeah, I... I wrote a confession. And... I... I don't know.

Zach Dempsey: Jesus. Alex...

Alex Standall: I'm sorry I couldn't tell you.

Zack Dempsey: I think... we should be the kind of friends who can tell each other anything. I mean, maybe not about the hard-ons and the masturbation so much, but...

That made me giggle a little bit. We hear the door open and we look to see Ani & Tony arriving. It's done. I sit on Clay's bed right next to him. Still can't get the thought of Ani & Bryce together.

Bryce Walker: Was worth it, Hannah?

I turn towards Clay as Bryce was there.

Bryce Walker: You framed another person, a dead person for my murder. All for what? For Jensen? He's moved on. It's going to be him & Ani now that I'm out of the way.

Clay Jensen: (Whispering) Hey.

I snap out of it as Clay is now in front of me.

Clay Jensen: (Whispering) You okay?

I shake my head. No, I'm not ok. How can we after what we just did?

Tony Padilla: So, what do we do now?

Ani Achola: We wait. We hope.

Zach Dempsey: It's kinda too bad that you don't have the tape. I mean, for last words and all that.

Jessica stands up from Justin's bed.

Jessica Davis: We made a copy.

Jessica goes to her bag to take out the copy of Bryce's tape.

Zach Dempsey: Look, I didn't mean... We don't have to...

Jessica Davis: No. I think you guys should hear it. Including you, Hannah. He wanted you to hear it.

Clay stands up from his bed and goes up to Jessica as she hand over the tape to him.

Clay Jensen: My dad put in a tape deck. I think he thought it was funny.
