Elizabeth Jensen watched Justin Foley walk back to her after talking to the receptionist. They were both in the waiting room at the Sheriff's station, trying to find out any news about Clay. "He's still back there." Justin spoke, sitting down next to his girlfriend. "They're probably going to transfer him to County."

"Fuck." Elizabeth sighed before looking up at Justin. "How are you doing about this? You would tell me if you weren't okay, right?" She took his hands in hers. "Because I can't always tell, I guess." She was referring to when Justin stood up during the assembly and reveal he was a victim of sexual assault.

Justin looked down at him and Elizabeth's hands. "When I was five, my mom had this boyfriend." Elizabeth nodded for him to keep going. "He was this fucked up guy who would just get high with her. When- uh- she'd pass out, he would.." Justin paused as he looked up at Elizabeth, "just come to my bed." His gaze moved back down, not being able to say this while looking at her. He sighed before continuing. "At first, he would just... put his hands on me. Then he started- uh- He started making me put my hands on his... And he would be hard. He- uh- He-" Justin took in a shaky breath, trying to continue. "He'd put his fingers in my mouth and start to jerk off. He only lived with us for a couple of years. On and off." Justin began to cry. "When I was on the streets and I needed money... I would do stuff.. to guys. Sometimes they would do stuff that we didn't talk about, stuff I didn't want to do." He looked at his lap, shaking his head as tears ran down his cheeks. "I just felt like I was five again, and that it was all my fault."

"I'm so sorry." Elizabeth began to tear up. "I'm so sorry that I never knew or figured it out." She let out a breath. "You've been listening to me talk about how fucked up everything was with Jessica, but you needed me, and I wasn't there."

"I didn't want it to get in the way of us." Justin wiped his tears off of his cheek. "I didn't want you to see me any differently."

Elizabeth shook her head. "Nothing will ever make see you with anything but love." The girl smiled as she brought his hands to her lips and kissed his knuckles. "I tell you that you can always tell me anything, and I really mean that."

"I know." Justin nodded. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, pulling him towards her. Justin hugged her back. "I love you so much, babygirl."

"I love you, too." Elizabeth spoke before pressing her lips against Justin's cheek.

Later that day, Elizabeth was still sitting in the waiting room while Justin had gone to Monet's to get the coffee. Her eyes widened when she saw Zach Dempsey come in. She stood up and made her way over to him. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Telling the truth."

"You can't do that." Elizabeth shook her head, "You didn't kill him. He was still alive when you left him."

"I can't keep lying while Clay is going to jail for what I did." Elizabeth tried to hold him back, but Zach just pushed her away and walked up to the officer at the reception table. "Is Deputy Standall around?"

"He's off-duty right now." The woman shook her head. "Can I help you with something?"

Zach looked at the ground and then back up at the woman. "Uh- I'm here to make a confession. To- uh- confess."

"Okay. Hang on." The woman spoke before picking up the phone. "Let me get someone out here."

Elizabeth walked up behind Zach. "This isn't a good idea."

"Don't worry about me, Eliza."

They took Zach into the back, leaving Elizabeth alone. She took in a deep breath before sitting back down. When Justin came back in with two coffees, he noticed her upset expression right away. "What's wrong. Did they saw anything about Clay."

Elizabeth shook her head. "Zach's confessing."

Jessica Davis, Tyler Down, and Charlie St. George had arrived at the sheriff's station to meet Elizabeth and Justin, because Tyler wanted to tell the police about what happened to him. "I'm ready." Tyler nodded. "I want to do this."

Jessica smiled as she walked closer towards Tyler. "Tyler, what you're doing is so brave. We'll be right here waiting for you." She put her hand on his shoulder. "You're not alone in this."

Tyler looked over at Elizabeth, and she sent him a smile. "I'm so proud of you." She pulled him into a hug. Tyler wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in her hair. "I hope you know that we all love and support you so much, okay?" Tyler nodded as he pulled away from the hug. He looked over at Justin, who motioned for him to go.

He began to walk towards the reception desk. "Excuse me, uh- I'd like to file a report."

Elizabeth Jensen made her way up to her bedroom with Justin Foley following behind her. "Tonight was absolute bullshit!" She yelled as she paced around her room. "If they had just cancelled the game in the first place, none of that would have happened, and now they're blaming us! What the actual fuck!"

Justin smirked as he sat down on Elizabeths bed. "You're so fucking hot when you're pissed off."

"Really?" Elizabeth chuckled, furrowing her eyebrows. "I'm pissed, and all you're thinking about is that you want to fuck me?"

"What can I say?" Justin shrugged as he watched his girlfriend walk closer towards him. She stood in between his legs as he sat on the edge of her bed. "All the boys were saying how fucking hot you were after the riot, and I was thinking was that I am so lucky." He smiled as he leaned up to kiss her. Elizabeth pressed her lips against his, leaning down. Justin grabbed onto Elizabeth's hips and pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling him.

The two were cut off by Elizabeth's phone ringing. "Fuck." She groaned, reaching into her back pocket. She saw that it was Zach and answered. "Hey, Zach, what's up?"

"Eliza, I really fucked up. I have no idea what to do. What are you doing right now?"

"Slow down." She stated, moving off of her boyfriend, who groaned out of annoyance. She sent him a playful glare, putting her finger up against her lips to tell him to be quiet. "What happened?"

"I saw Bryce at the docks, and I just started beating him up."

"What?" Her eyes widened.

"I think I broke his leg and maybe some other bones, and then I threw his phone into the water."

"Zach, what the actual fuck?!"

"I know, okay? What do I do now? Should I go to the police? God, Eliza, I have no idea what the fuck to do."

Elizabeth shook her head. "Zach, please don't worry about it. I'm sure everything will be okay tomorrow. Just go to bed."

Zach paused before speaking again. "Yeah, you're right. Thank you."

"Yeah, of course. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" And with that, she ended the call.

"What did he do?" Justin questioned his girlfriend, moving closer towards him.

Elizabeth looked down at her bed and sighed. "He beat Bryce up. He thinks he broke some of his bones."

"Fuck." Justin sighed, leaning his back on Elizabeth's pillow. His phone buzzed, causing him to sit back up and look at it. "Hey- uh- I got something I have to do, but I'll see you later?"

"Okay." The girl nodded and watched as Justin left her alone in the house.

Elizabeth sat on her bed, staring down at her phone, waiting for any kind of text telling her what was happening. She heard a knock at her door and jumped off her bed. She made her wya to the door, opening it to reveal Zach Dempsey, who looked as if he had been crying. "Zach, what the fuck?"

"You were right." Zach pushed past her, into her room. "He died with water in his lungs. I didn't kill him."

Elizabeth sighed. "Thank fuck." She smiled before hugging him. "I don't know what I would have done if you went to jail."

Zach smiled as he hugged her back. "Well, now we don't need to find out." He moved to sit on her bed.

"I'm serious." Elizabeth sat down next to him. "You were the only thing that got me through those five months that Justin was on the streets. You mean so much to me." Zach nodded as he listened to her speak. He glanced down at her lips. "I really need you th-" Elizabeth was cut off by Zach kissing her. The girl was completely shocked as she felt Zach's lips on her own. She had no idea what was happening and was not able to pull away, paralyzed by her own surprise.

"What the actual fuck is going on right now?" Elizabeth finally pulled away and saw Justin standing in her open doorway.

Elizabeth stood up from her bed, walking up to her boyfriend. "Justin, it really isn't what it looks like."

"Yeah, Justin. I kissed her." Zach nodded, standing up. "She didn't even kiss me back."

"Why would you kiss my fucking girlfriend, Dempsey?"

Zach looked down at his feet. "I don't know, man." He then looked up at Elizabeth. "Maybe because I've been in love with her for a year now, and I'm tired of seeing you treat her like shit."

"Really?" Justin scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "You fucking killed Bryce."

Elizabeth stepped in between the two boys. "He didn't kill Bryce. He died with water in his lungs, meaning he had to have been pushed into the water before he died."

"But you tried to kill Bryce."

"I know, and I've taken responsibility for that. I told the cops everything." Zach took a hold of Elizabeth's hand, before Justin yanked her out of his grasp. "I'm better for you than he is."

"Get out of this fucking house, Zach!" Justin yelled past Elizabeth. Zach nodded, walking around Elizabeth and Justin. Zach closed the door behind himself, and left the Jensen Household. "I don't want you ever in room alone with him again, okay?"

Elizabeth frowned. "You're really going to tell me who I can be friends with, now?" She scoffed as she moved closer towards him. "When you weren't there, Zach was the only person I had."

"That doesn't matter now." Justin shook his head. "He shouldn't fucking kiss you."

"I know." Elizabeth noticed how bloodshot his eyes were. "Are you fucked up?"

"What?"

"Are you fucked up right now?"

Justin let out a chuckle. "Are you really turning this around on me?"

She nodded. "Yes. Yes, I am."

The boy licked his lips before speaking again. "Yeah, I am fucked up." He began to pace around Elizabeth's bedroom. "I left the police station and got really fucking high because I can't deal with Clay being in jail."

Elizabeth stopped his, grabbing onto his hands. "I told you to tell me if things weren't alright."

"Of course things aren't alright!" Justin screamed as he looked down at her. Tears began to fall down his cheeks. "I love Clay so much, and I'm just going to lose him again."

Elizabeth shook her head, and she took him to her bed and sat him down next to her. "Clay's going to be okay. We'll get this figure out."

"I lose everyone I love." Justin laid his head down, crying into Elizabeth's lap.

"You haven't lost me." Elizabeth began to run her fingers through Justin's hair.

Justin shook his head and moved his head off her lap, looking at her. "You love Zach."

Elizabeth let out a laugh. "No. What the fuck? I love you."

"You love him. He's right. He's better for you than I am."

"Justin, I am never going to leave you for Zach, okay?" She cupped his face with her hands. "I love you. I always have, and I always will."

"I don't deserve your love."

"You deserve every fucking bit of my love, Justin Foley."
