Why him? - Montgomery De La Cruz

Chapter 46

"Please Ella, i really need your help with something, could you please just come over?" Ella hears Clay say through the phone and Ella lets out a sigh as she wedges the phone between her cheek and shoulder so she could use both of her hands to tie up her shoe laces

"Look Clay, Zach and i are meant to be going over BIO this morning, i don't understand why you cant just tell me what you need my help for and why it is so urgent. Cant you find someone else to help you out with it" Ella mumbles and then grabs her phone in her hand again and climbs out of her window and grabs onto her skateboard 

"Please Ella, it is really important and i just cant tell ou why okay. you'll see why when you get here" Clay pleads through the phone and Ella nods her head even though he wouldn't be able to see her

"Yeah, ill be over soon, ill message Zach and tell him that we are just going to have to reschedual, ill see you soon, this better be worth it" Ella sighs and then hangs up the phone and quickly messages Zach before shoving her phone into the back pocket of her ripped jeans and then she began to make her way to Clays house.

Ella hops off her skateboard and then uses her foot to push down on the end of the skateboard so that the other end comes up and she catches it and then tucks it under her arm and she pulls her phone out and sees another message from clay 

'come through the window'

"well that toattaly isn't sketchy at all" Ella mumbles to herself and then opens her back pack up and sticks her skateboard in as much as she could and then she began to climb up the side of the building up to clays window which luckily was already open 

Ella began to pull herself through the window "I swear to god, if you called me over here to kill me or something could you just get it over w-" Ella stops mid sentence after she had finally pulled herself into the room she looked across and saw no other than Justin Foley, sitting on the floor staring at her "what the fuck is he doing here and why the hell am i here"

"well i needed your help" Clay tells the girl who was glaring over at Justin 

"Help with what?" Justin and ella both ask in confusion though ella was a little more angry than Justin was, he sat there with a guilty look on his face as he looked over at ella. He had a cup of noodles in his hand but he couldn't care less about them, he cared about her and he knew that he had hurt her

"Just tell me that you bought what i asked you to bring" Clay says with a sigh and ella nods her head and places the backpack on the ground and she begins to pull multiple things out of it

"Everything to help someone who is recovering with a drug addiction, now can you tell me why you ne-" Ella started but then her mind pieced it all together and she looked over at jsutin in disappointment "Seriously Justin, you left so you could run around doing Heroin?"

"Its not like that" Justin tells her and looks down guiltily and the girl just sighed, she hated being harsh on the boy but he shouldn't have just left like he did. he shouldn't have left her, and while that sounded selfish, she really did need him there. 

"wait how did you know?" Justin asks and looks over at Clay in confusion 

"Okay look the thing is, i was washing your clothes and i found your shit and i flushed it down the toilet and tony thinks you might be an addict and we might have to detox you" Clay tells him straight forward and ella just sighs before going over to sit down on clays bed, this was already to much for her to deal with 

"you know what, fuck this, I'm outta here" Justin says angrily and throws the blanket that was wrapped around him onto the floor 

"well 'A' all of your clothes are in the fucking wash, 'B' where are you going to go and 'C' are you really going to just leave ella like that again?" Clay asks sarcastically and ella looks down and begins to play with her fingers as she feels the eyes from both boys resting on her and Justin quickly sits back down on the couch and ella stands up and walks over to them and begins to place everything on the table in front of them

"Come on J, we are going to get you through this okay" Ella says with a sigh and he looks up at her to meet her eyes "Come on J, Jessica really needs your help alright, you've got to do this and if not for yourself than do it for Jessica alright. she deserves to be happy and Bryce deserves to be locked behind bars"

Clay looked at the girl in shock, he didn't think that she had believed what Hannah said about Bryce because she still hangs out with him, but what he didn't know was that she and another certain someone who still hung out with Bryce were the secret ones helping him on the sidelines trying to get all the evidence against Bryce 

"Come on Zach, are we seriously just going to let Bryce get away with this?" Ella asks him angrily as they sat by themselves out on the baseball field that they had both been training on not even ten minuets ago 

"I don't know what to fucking do well, alright" Zach says to her and she begins to pick out blades of grass with her fingers as they sat cross legged facing each other "I don't want him to get away with it but i don't know what to fucking do"

They sat there and began to think carefully and then ella came up with an idea and her eyes lit up like a light bulb "What if we annonomously tip someone off on the things that Bryce had done, someone who is prepared to put Bryce behind bars, i cant do anything and let people know that it was me because Monty is still best friends with him and i don't want to be the person to come between him and he's friendships even if it is a fucking rapist and its my word against bryces, i don't even know if Monty would believe me" 

"of course Monty would believe you over Bryce but it definitely could cause a lot of trouble if they know you are the one trying to expose Bryce and what he truly is" Zach says and then begins to think again for a minute "hey i got an idea, there's theses photos in the clubhouse"

"the clubhouse?" Ella asks in confusion and looks at the boy

"its this small shack thing behind the baseball field its right over there behind those trees" he says and points over to it "there's a box full of polaroids, there's pictures of Bryce taking advantage of girls, what if we gave them to Jessica or something"

"no, no. not Jessica" Ella says and begins to think for a minute and then she cursed herself for taking so long to figure out the most obvious person "How about clay Jensen"
