Chapter (21): 'The Finale' 
She walked happily on her way tahanan from school with a smile at everyone she saw in her way, suddenly she heard a twig snap right behind her, she turned and there was no one there she continued walking but she knew she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen and it just popped up every time she tried to ignore it, this time she heard the sound of footsteps other than her's on the damo and every time she turned there was no one there, her fear was increasing every time she turned around and back again, she couldn't take it anymore she broke into a run as fast she could and the person or people behind her followed as fast as her, she reached Mapel creek and stopped there, her hand clenched to her chest and panting for breath until she felt someone push her to the ground, she felt a stabbing pain in her head and she felt the blood gushing out of the wound, before everything went blurry she focused on the face of the girl who was laying on tuktok of her, she saw that the girl had bright green eyes and pale blonde hair, "S-S-Susie?" she asked, Susie's expression changed her eyes widend, "Why are you doing this to me?" half whispered Lily, "You know everything and I can't have that, so sadly you have to die so my secret can die with you!...Good Bye Lily Rest in Peace" sinabi Susie her tone and expression as evil as the devil's and she stabbed Lily right in the chest, Lily screamed as the kutsilyo periced her heart, and she began to feel the blood gush out of her chest as fast as the blood gushing out of her head, Susie noticed that Lily still had a little life in her she gave her another stab in the stomach and tossed the kutsilyo to her acommplice Iris, "Hide it in the backpack and toss it the creek then help me drag the brat's body in" was the last thing Lily heard Susie say when she was alive the rest she saw with her own ghostly eyes, Iris tossed the bag into the creek and darted to help her friend drag the body, once she saw the body up close she nearly retched out everything she ate and she was surprised that Susie the pregnant one wasn't even giving a damn about how disgusting this is, Iris couldn't take it anymore just half way to the creek Iris let go of the body and darted back with a scream, "Iris shut up!!" sinabi Susie, Iris screamed again this time louder to make sure someone could find them, both Iris and Susie heard running footsteps, "Look what you did!!" shrieked Susie letting go of Lily's legs so that they dropped clumsily to the ground, Iris simply ran and hid in the bushes leaving Susie with the body of her sister, Susie kept looking at her sister's body convincing herself that she did the right thing to protect her secret but she couldn't no matter how hard she tried and then she sat there crying her guilt consuming her bit sa pamamagitan ng bit as she cried the footsteps stopped and she looked up and saw two figures in the distance one of them waving at her, she rose slowly to her feet and waved back and watched as the two figures approached, "Abbie!!" she heard her mother's voice in her head, "Abbie darling" she heard and her eyes flew open and they met her mother's which were the same shade of hazel as Noah's, "Mom" she sinabi sitting up and scratching her head, "Get up you have to get dressed now if you don't want to be late for school" sinabi Mary getting to her feet and crossing the room, instead of replying with a simple 'Okay' she said, "Now I know who murdered Lily", "What?!" asked Mary confused, "it was her own sister Susie" Abbie continued to her mother, "I'm sorry honey what?" asked Mary madami confused than before, "Lily Gellar was murdered sa pamamagitan ng Her Own Sister Susie!" sinabi Abbie getting out of kama and darting to her closet, "Oh my god!" sinabi Mary her eyes filled with tears, "How could Susie Gellar do that to her own sister?!" she continued knowing that this was true because of her daughter's abilities, and she left the room tears spilling down her face.
After Changing into a plain grey T-shirt paired up with jean capri shorts and silver hoop earrings with a puso shaped locket, she ran downstairs had a quick breakfast, "Noah can you drive me to school please?" asked Abbie helping her mother clear the mesa quickly before she left, "Yeah..so you won't have to deal with your heartbroken best friend on the way" sinabi Noah his tone dripping with anger and sarcasm, "Look Noah I'm sorry but You sinabi it yourself you Swore you will take me to the party so I can feel guilty about my stupid decisions" sinabi Abbie, "Yup and I hope you feel guilty now cause I'm Going To Pick Up Leo" he sinabi with an icy smile at Abbie, and he left the room in silence leaving his parents to look at Abbie with the same expression on their faces, "What?!" sinabi Abbie, "it's his fault for reminding me!" she continued and she to left the room without another word.
Noah's jeep stopped in front of Leo's house and he honked the horn, Leo came out of the house after a few moments crossed the lawn silently and instead of opening the door to sumali Abbie in the back he opened the front door and sat sa pamamagitan ng Noah's side, "Hey Noah" he said, "Oh yeah..and Abbie" he continued in a flat tone, "Happy birthday Leo" sinabi Noah, "thanks man" sinabi Leo with a smile, "I got you a present" Noah continued as they drove away from Leo's house, "Really?" sinabi Leo, "Yeah look in the glab compartment in front of you", Abbie was stunned not only she forgot his birthday but she forgot to buy him a present too, she watched as Leo opened the compartment and grabbed the small present out of it, And unwrapped it only to find out it was his paborito movie collection, "No way!" sinabi Leo examining the box which held the four Scream disks, "Noah this is the best gift ever thanks man" sinabi Leo, "Nah it's nothing, you should see what Abbie got you" sinabi Noah, Abbie's eyes widend, "But I didn't-" began Abbie but Noah cut her off, "Yes you did now hop to the trunk and you'll find it there", "Okay" sinabi Abbie and she hopped into the trunk to find a flat rectangular shaped present there, she grabbed it and hopped back to her seat, "Here you go Happy seventeenth birthday" she sinabi handing him his gift, he reached to grab it from Abbie's hand, but when he touched the present he also touched Abbie's hand, Abbie blushed, Leo grinned as he took the present from Abbie, "Abbie you told me yesterday that Leo has to open it when he's alone right?" sinabi Naoh noticing that Leo was about to open it, "Yeah I did so don't open it now" sinabi Abbie struggling to keep her tone even, "Okay I won't, and Thanks" he sinabi smiling, Abbie nervously smiled back, Noah pulled over "Here we are" he said, "Thanks" sinabi both Abbie and Leo, and they both got out of the car, "So you wanna walk to class together?" Abbie asked Leo who was busy examining the box he thought he got from Abbie, "Yeah maybe later, see you Abbie" he replied now stuffing both presents into his bag, and he walked away without another word, Abbie stood there for a moment watching him disappear deeper in the see of students and then she started walking alone to class wondering what was the present Leo thought he got from her, although Abbie was sure that the present was a picture frame she couldn't help but wonder what was the picture in it. The moment she stepped inside she found the person she that she wanted to talk to not Susie or Brad who was now in jail because of Susie but the girl who tried to escape from the murder Iris Shaw, Abbie stalked to Iris who was grabbing a few books from her locker and she stopped, "Hi your name is Iris Shaw right?" asked Abbie as the other girl closed her locker, "Yes I'm Iris Shaw" she replied, "Can we walk and talk now or maybe later if now isn't a good time?" asked Abbie, "Yeah sure what do you want to talk about?" asked Iris and they both began walking, "Actually the subject might disturb you but this is important" sinabi Abbie, "You want to talk about the murder" sinabi Iris in a flat tone, "Yes you can go and leave me standing here alone if you want to but I told you that what I'm about to tell you Iris is very important even if you may freak out I little" sinabi Abbie hoping she would convince Iris, "Okay go ahead" sinabi Iris, "Is it a shame for you that your friend's boyfriend turned out to be the murderer?" asked Abbie, "Yeah it is I mean I still can't believe it was him" sinabi Iris struggling to keep her tone normal, "Or maybe it was just his pocket kutsilyo that Susie had?" asked Abbie, at this Iris stopped dead in her tracks "How did you find out?!!" asked Iris not bothering to cover up, "I can explain if you give me a chance and promise not to say I'm crazy" replied Abbie, "Okay then explain" sinabi Iris as they started walking again Abbie explained every thing from the moment she found Lily's body till her dream, and Iris didn't even dare interrupt her with a single question, "So..do you believe me or do you think I'm crazy?" asked Abbie, "I believe you" sinabi Iris, "You know everything there is to know and in every detail, how can I not believe you?!" asked Iris, Abbie smiled, "Promise you won't say a word to Susie or anyone else" sinabi Abbie, "I promise and now that you had your share let me tell you mine before the kampanilya rings" replied Iris, "okay go ahead and if it involves Josh Gellar's party I'm in" sinabi Abbie, "It does and okay, I need you and your brother to keep talking to Susie about the murder and even if she runs away I'll help to let her confess and then the truth will out and everyone will know that Brad is inocent and that Susie is the guilty one" sinabi Iris, "Okay that I got but you were involved in it to Iris" sinabi Abbie looking at Iris in a confused expression, "I know I was and Susie will have no choice but to confess to everything meaning I will be arrested for some time but it'll be less than her time" sinabi Iris, just then the kampanilya rang and everyone tstarted scurrying to their classes Abbie and Iris split up even though they both had Biolgy but just in case they ran into Susie which might make her suspicious, and Abbie's joy slightly out grew her guilt in which for not going to her best friend's birthday party just to correct the outcome of the murder and tumawid over Lily's ghost and get the boy she wanted.
