"I know you won't believe me, but just trust me," She rushed,
"Trust you?" I scoffed, "Don't you dare try to pin this on him!" I began to yell, she looked around frantically,
"Max and I found all of the facts, they lead straight to him, Beth!"
"You're disgusting," I whispered under my breath, "You went out of your way to pin this on him." I felt horrible defending what he did,
"Elizabeth just listen!" She defended herself,
"Even if you did find all the clues, Chloe, there's still so much more that you're missing!" I yelled back,
"Do you know where he is?" She asked quickly,
"You're kidding me right," I crossed my arms over my chest, she shook her head,
"Tell me where he is," She threatened, her hand moved to the back of her jeans and she pulled out a black gun before quickly putting it back into her pocket. I laughed lightly,
"What are you going to prove by shooting anyone, Chloe? You're just as bad as the person who killed her,"
"Why aren't you upset by this?" She yelled,
"I've known she's been dead for a long fucking time." Her arm extended as she harshly hit me across the face, reopening my wounds, I looked up at her before wiping the blood off my cheek, "If you didn't send me away maybe you would have known sooner," I smirked before walking away, I quickly made my way back over to the V.I.P section and rushed to Nathan, warning him of Chloe's knowledge.

Nathan and I had quickly left the party once he heard what she knew. He was stressing out, sweat was dripping from his forehead and his knuckles had turned white from gripping this steering wheel so tightly,
"Slow Down, Nathan, please," I whispered in between breaths,
"He's going to fucking kill me!" Nathan yelled, "He's going to kill me and the speed of which I'm driving is the only thing you care about!"
"He's not going to kill you, Nathan," I tried to assure him, "What if we left?" I asked quickly, he looked over at me, "What if we left Arcadia Bay? Tonight," He laughed sarcastically,
"Aren't you full of bright ideas," I rolled my eyes,
"Let's just go!" I began to yell frantically, "Just for tonight, please," I was almost begging him as he sped through the windy roads of Arcadia bay,
"Elizabeth," He sighed, "We can't just leave!"
"If we don't, Nathan, he might kill both of us," Nathan's face turned red,
"No!" He yelled, "He's not going to kill you too, Elizabeth," A harsh silence fell over us,
"What if," My threat tightened, "What if we kill him?" My voice was soft, scared. Nathan let out a laugh,
"There's no chance that's happening," I began to cry lightly, tears falling down my cheeks, "Fuck, don't cry, Elizabeth, Jesus," Nathan stuttered,
"Please," I whispered, "Can we leave?" He sighed harshly
"Ok," He said, "I have to go somewhere first though," I continued to sit in silence as Nathan swerved through the empty roads. The rain was hitting the car heavily filling the dense silence and certainly not aiding his driving skills. We finally pulled into a gravel driveway, the car jumped through all the muddy puddles and we finally came to halt at the entrance of junkyard. We sat in the car momentarily before making any moves,
"Why are we here?" I whispered, Nathan sighed before placing his cold, yet damp hand on mine,
"I want to believe Chloe," Tears pricked my eyes,
"You want to see Rachel?" My heart pounded against my ribs. Nathan sighed deeply and slowly unbuckled his seatbelt, I stayed still in my seat as he rushed over to my side covering his face from the rain. He quickly opened my door and the rain and wind whipped around my body immediately making me shiver, his thin arms reached across my body as he unbuckled my seat belt and pulled me out of the car before shielding me from the harsh rain. My nose quickly became numb and I covered my face quickly, although, shortly after, a soft amount of warmth possessed my body as Nathan covered my body with his red jacket and wrapped his arm around my body as we sludged through the mud and walked into the junkyard. The walk, usually a short distance, felt like a lifetime, knowing that I would possibly see Rachel's body again made anxiety prick throughout my body and I already felt tears rushing to my eyes. My legs were aching by the time we rounded the corner towards her body, the strong wind certainly hadn't made it any easier. The odd moon light had made it bright enough for Nathan and I to identify that Rachel's body had definitely been uncovered and as we slowly took steps towards her Nathan's grip on me tightened and the scent carried through the air thickly.
"Oh my god," I whispered as we were standing over her, Nathan fell to his knees and sat beside her in the mud. The scene made me instantly feel ill and the smell certainly didn't help, my stomach turned inside out and I felt the bile raise in my throat as tears spilled out of my eyes. Nathan quickly began to shovel the dirt away from her with his bare hands, "What are you doing?" I stuttered,
"I don't believe it's her," He groaned, the scent obviously effecting him too. I choked up, my hands shook violently as I reached out towards him and placed it softly on his back,
"Nathan, please, can we go?" I sobbed, he looked up at me, a harsh glare across his face at first but once he took a look at my expression of pain, his face softened,
"Baby, I'm, just let me do this," He somehow managed to get out. His body quickly turned away from me and he continued digging, I took a few steps back as her body became more and more uncovered. It was smaller than I remembered, I wanted to believe this was still a prank but the scared look spread across Nathan's face told me otherwise.
After a few minutes the scent became unbearable, the bile quickly rushed up out of my throat and into my mouth, I ran off to throw up and get away from the sickening smell. I was crouched down underneath a large tree, shielded from the harsh wind and bright moon light. I sobbed uncontrollably as I continued to throw up every few moments, the scent had somehow followed me away from the body and up behind the tree, it was everywhere and I wanted to believe I wasn't here. Nathan's sobs soon became quiet as we sat a few meters away from each other, I didn't want to look at him and I was grateful I was hidden away as I didn't want him to see me so disheveled and broken. It was eerily silent, the normal sound of the woods was non existent as winds battered my ears and rain belted against my skin. It was as soon as I was relaxing and listening to the empty sounds of the wind that a body rattling bang vibrated throughout my core and echoed on the ground around me. My ears rang and heart stopped.
