Pre Death

Elizabeth Jensen sat in her bathtub, watching as the water dropped from the shower head. She was trapped in her thoughts. She kept on thinking about how no one told her about Jessica. She couldn't get passed it. Elizabeth didn't know what to think. She thought he loved her, but he kept such a huge secret from her. Did he really love her? It did he just stay with her for the sex?

Elizabeth's thoughts were interrupted by her mom calling to her from downstairs.

She quickly got out of her bathtub, put on some sweats and rushed downstairs. "What, mom?" She questioned, groaning.

"You're being asked to testify on the Hannah Baker trial." Lainie spoke to her as she handed her a packet. "Both you and Clay."

"Isn't that your trial?" Elizabeth's mom nodded in response to her question. "Is that even legal?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Well, this is shit." Elizabeth sighed as she sat down on the couch. "What the fuck am I supposed to do now? Talk about how much I miss her? We split apart naturally. It wasn't anyone's fault."

"First of all, language." Lainie chuckled as she sat next to her daughter, wrapping her arm around her. "And if you tell them that, nothing will happen to you. Now, is anything else going on that you need to tell me about?"

Elizabeth looked over at her. She almost told her everything she knew, which honestly wasn't that much, but she decided to bite her tongue. "Justin and I are broken up."

Lainie's expression dropped. "I'm sorry, honey." She  hugged her daughter, running her hand through Elizabeth's hair soothingly. "I know how hard that is." Elizabeth nodded as she tried not to cry.

She pulled away from the hug and looked at her mother. "Is it alright if I stay home from school today?"

"Of course." Her mom smiled as she watched her stand and walk up the stairs.

Elizabeth walked into her room and saw Justin sitting on her bed. She could tell that he hadn't slept all night. "Get the fuck out of my house." Elizabeth frowned as she pointed to the open window. "If you don't leave, I'm gonna scream."

"Please, just let me talk." Justin stood up and walked towards her, but for every step he took, she took one away from him. "Let me explain."

"You lied to me about everything." Elizabeth's back was against the wall.

"I know, but I was trying to protect you." Justin nodded as he backed up.

"Protect me from what?" Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "I don't need your fucking protection."

"After Hannah killed herself, some tapes showed up at my front door." Justin sighed as he sat down on Elizabeth's bed, hoping she would sit down with him. She didn't. "Each tape had a different subject, a reason why she killed herself. I was the subject of two of them." Justin rubbed his temples, honestly not ready to reveal everything to Elizabeth. "I was the first one to get them."

"Was I not on them or something?" Elizabeth asked, finally moving to the bed.

Justin shook his head. "She only talked about how much she cared about you and wished you hadn't grown apart." Justin looked up at the girl he loved. "The night of Jessica's back to school party was when it happened." Justin sighed. "Bryce pushed his way passed me. I tried to stop him, but he locked the door. Apparently, Hannah was in the room." 

"And why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think you would need to know."

"Tell me the truth."

Justin looked down at his hands. "I didn't want you to hate me."

"It's too late for that." Elizabeth frowned as she finally looked up at him.

"I'm so sorry."

"Just leave, please."

"Eliza-"

"Leave or I'll call the fucking police." Tears ran down Elizabeth's cheeks as she watched him exit through her window.

"I'm not drinking tonight." Elizabeth smiled as her and Justin sat in Bryce's hot tub. Bryce was hosting another party, of course. "I promise you."

Justin returned the smiled before pressing his lips against her's. "I love you so fucking much, you know that?" Justin whispered into Elizabeth's ear.

"I love you, too, baby." Elizabeth chuckled as she moved to straddle him. "Maybe tonight will be our night?" She felt his hands on her butt.

"God, I hope so." He kissed her against, holding onto her hips.

They were interrupted by Zach and Jessica coming into the hot tub. "Stop fucking in the hot tub!" Jessica laughed as she got in.

"We aren't fucking." Elizabeth got off of Justin and moved next to Jessica. "You know that."

"Yeah, I do." Jessica smiled as she sipped from her beer bottle. She looked around. "Can someone get me a piece of pizza?" She noticed Hannah Baker coming towards them. "Hannah! Hannah Baker!" Jessica called out to her. Hannah looked over at them. "Can you do me a huge favor and grab me a slice of pepperoni?"

"Sure!" Hannah nodded as she reached down to get the pizza box.

"Hannah, me too!" Zach yelled to her. "Get me, like, two slices."

"Hannah Baker's here to save the day!" Jessica laughed as she raised her arms into the air in a cheering fashion.

"Baker Pizza at your service." Hannah stated as she handed the box of pizza to Jessica.

"Oh my god!" Jessica moaned, taking out a slice. "You are amazing."

"Thank you, Han!" Elizabeth smiled as she also took a piece from the box.

"You guys are gonna get pizza grease in the water." Justin chuckled as his arm wrapped around his girlfriend.

"Think of it as a moisturizing spa treatment." Hannah spoke, wiggling her eyebrows.

"I read that pepperoni oil reduces cellulite." Jessica spoke with her mouth filled with pizza. She was incredibly drunk.

"I actually read that too," Hannah nodded, "except it only works mixed with cheese."

"And tomato sauce." Jessica finished for her and they both laughed.

"Wait, Han, have you been here all night?" Elizabeth finally said something, moving towards Hannah.

"No. I just got here." Hannah shook her head.

"Ah, just when people are starting to leave." Justin stated as he started to get out of the hot tub.

"We aren't leaving." Elizabeth laughed as she pulled him back into the tub.

"Yeah, this party is far from over!" Jessica jumped into the air, spinning around. "Hannah, why are you standing there. Come on in!"

"I didn't bring a bathing suit." Hannah sighed as she looked down at what she was wearing.

"Just wear your underwear. Everyone else is." Jessica smiled as she modeled for everyone what she was wearing. "It's just like a bikini." Jessica frowned when Hannah didn't get in. "Oh my god, don't be such a pussy! Get in." She splashed Hannah.

"Woah, stop."

"Come on!" Jessica continued to splash Hannah lightly.

"Alright, fine." Hannah nodded.

"Yay!" Elizabeth smiled.

Hannah stripped and got into the pool. She just kind of sat there and watched events unfold. Elizabeth and Justin just continued to make out.

Elizabeth smiled as Justin picked her up with her legs wrapped around his waist. "Wait, are you guys leaving?" Hannah called after them.

"Don't worry!" Elizabeth smiled at her friend. "We won't be going that far."

Her lips attached back to Justin's as he carried her inside of Bryce's house. "Woah, the bedroom's upstairs." Bryce laughed as he watched them go by.

Once they reached upstairs, Justin pressed her back against the wall and kissed down her neck. "Let's have sex." Elizabeth smirked as she watched him pull away.

"Yeah?" Justin smiled at her. She nodded before kissing him.

Elizabeth Jensen woke up the morning after Bryce's party in one of Bryce's guest rooms. She smiled as she turned to see Justin who was asleep. She remembered the events from the night before. She loved every second of it. She loved him more than anything.

He was her everything.

Justin eyes fluttered open and he returned the smile that she had across her lips. "Hey, baby." Justin spoke in a husky and groggy tone. "Last night was the best night of my fucking life."

"Mine too." She smiled as she placed her hand on his cheek. "You mean so much to me, Justin."

"And you mean so much to me." He placed his hand on hers. "I'm so happy that you said yes to that dance."

"Me too."

Elizabeth Jensen had never been happier than she was in that moment.
