*Elizabeths POV**
We're driving past Austins street, when I notice Alex can't stop shaking. His fingers dance across the steering wheel, tapping away. I don't know if he notices he's doing this.
"Hey-" I say placing my hand on top of his. "-what's wrong?"
Alex bites his lips but doesn't respond. I watch him glance over to Austin's house and that's when I see it.
Austin handcuffed and being walked over to a police car. I watch as an officer steers him into the car, and I see his mother a hand strapped over her lips, tears streaming down her face. I hear Austins father say something inaudible to his son, but I don't think Austin gets to hear.
"What the hell Alex." I whisper. "Why's he being arrested."
Alex faces me, and for the first time I notice his red eyes, and dark under eyes circles. He places his forehead against the steering wheel and sighs.
"Alex-"
"He's being arrested for Mason's murder." He says in one breath.
"What! Wait what! How did this happen? We just talked to him less than a week ago."
"Oh Lizzie." He whispers. Alex glances back towards Austins house. "It was just supposed to be stupid summer party."
"I know." I whisper placing my chin in the space between his neck and shoulder. "I know."
