Abigail - S01 E85

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 85

Emma was in disbelief. “Wow. So all of that determination to catch the killer and put them behind bars, those crazy promises you made to Tara at her funeral was all an act. Who are you? How could I have been living with a psychopath all these years?”

“Emma, I’ve told you this before that there are certain things you don’t know about me. I told you not to trust me.”

“And I was stupid not to take your word for it!”

“Did you tell the witness that caught you bagging up Minty’s body to tell the cops that she saw a man?” Robert asked.

Abby frowned. “No. I didn’t even bag up Minty’s body.”

“What?” Robert and Emma exchanged glances.

“If you didn’t… who did?”

“I did.” A voice said from behind and when they all turned around, it was Jersey. “The witness saw me that day when I was bagging up Minty’s body and thought I was the killer. I ran off without finishing what I started. And I was also the one who tampered with the CCTV footage. My intentions were to cover up for Abby.” He confessed.

Abby gave him the ‘What are you doing?’ look but he ignored her.

“You knew all along? You kept quiet even when it was going on in your hospital?” Emma queried.

“Love makes one do stupid and crazy things.” He blurted out.

“Don’t listen to him,” Abby stated. “He doesn’t know what he is saying. I have been working alone.”

“Abby,”

“Shut up!” She interrupted him. “Stop getting involved in my business. We broke up, didn’t we? Get out of here.”

“I told you I am not going to leave you alone.” He let out.

“Why are you doing this, huh? Do you think I’m going to feel indebted to you? I don’t need your damn help or support. Just go.”

“I am not_” Jersey’s words were cut short when Abby pointed her gun at him once again.

“What are you doing?” Emma asked.

“Tell him to leave this place. He is not needed here.” She groaned.

“Drop down your weapon, Abby.” Emma warned.

“I want him out of here first or else I’m going to shoot!” She yelled, shooting daggers at Jersey through her eyes.

He was complicating matters for her. This wasn’t supposed to be a part of the plan. No one was meant to get involved in her mess. It was one reason why I chose to stay away from love or relationship.

She already chose her end path and now, Jersey’s stubbornness and involvement are going to ruin everything.

She doesn’t want him to pay for the crimes he committed for her sake.

He might lose his freedom for real by getting arrested.

She doesn’t want that for him.

How betrayed and hurt will his family feel if they get to know that their son has been covering up the traces of the murderer they’ve been searching for for two years?

“Shoot me, if you want but I am definitely not leaving you here alone. I deserve to be punished as much as you.” Jersey said.

“What did you do?” Abby asked, narrowing her eyes at him. “I was the one who committed all of the crimes. I killed my patients. I killed Tara. I killed Minty. I kidnapped Thelma. I should get punished…alone.”

“You kidnapped Thelma?” Emma asked.

“Wasn’t it obvious? I was the last person Thelma saw before disappearing, remember?”

“But you told me…” Emma’s voice trailed off.

“You didn’t expect me to tell you that I kidnapped Thelma, did you?” She sighed. “I’ve always pretended to be a saint because I didn’t want to be a suspect or lose your trust.”

“Why did you kidnap her?” Robert asked.

“She knew that Sandra didn’t kill Tara and seems like one of the janitors between Sammy or Luca told her about what Minty saw the night Tara died. I was scared of getting caught, so I offered her tea which was mixed with sleeping pills and after she drank it, she fell unconscious and I brought her here.”

“Where is she?” Emma asked, looking around.

Abby glanced over at Jersey, dropping her hand down.

“I haven’t taken her out of here, Abby. She is still where you left her.”

Emma ran her fingers through her hair. “I can’t believe you did all this, Abby. Like seriously, who the hell are you? How can you be so evil?”

“Emma,” Abigail called out softly, taking a quiet step toward her best friend. “I’m sorry. I know apologizing won’t make up for what I did but believe me, the only mistake I made was killing Minty.”.

“And your patients? They were innocent people, Abby. You shouldn’t have killed them.”

“I saved them.”

“Only psychos think like this. You’ve been through a lot, I know. But killing innocent people? Abby, you’ve offended the law.” Emma paused. “When you asked me if you commit a crime will I arrest you, do you remember what my answer was?”

Abby nodded her head as she answered. “‘I will take you far away from here and we will live a peaceful life because there’s no way I’m going to arrest my best friend’ Those were your exact words to me.”

“And now, I don’t think I can fulfill that promise, Abby. You are a murderer. I…I…I can’t turn a blind eye to your crimes.”

“I know. There’s no happy ending for me and believe me, I am ready to accept my fate. However,” Abby dropped the gun to the floor and took further steps towards her friend. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you. You are my friend, sister from another mother, my guardian angel. And I’m sorry that things have to end this way between us. I’m so sorry that I turn out to be the murderer you desperately wanted to catch two years ago. I’m sorry for everything, Emma.” Tears slipped out of her eyes and Emma couldn’t stop the gasp that left her mouth.

“Ab…Abby…yo…you are crying…”

“I wanted to share the good news with you the very day I found out I could cry again but I didn’t know how to explain to you how it happened if you asked.”

“How do you mean?” Emma asked in a whisper, putting down her gun as well.

Abby sniffled, wiping off the tears from her cheek.

“The day I…killed Minty…” She saw the disappointment that clouded Emma’s face and she felt ashamed of herself. “Listen, I never intended to kill her. She wasn’t supposed to be a victim.”

“You killed her because she was a witness.” Emma said. “I know.”

Abigail nodded her head. “Yeah. And her death was what triggered me to start crying and then I discovered that I’ve made a mistake and I felt like a monster and…”

“…decided to surrender.” Emma completed the sentence.

“Yes.”

“Ugh. You are so unwise, honey.” Frederick said, grabbing everyone’s attention, and immediately, Jersey punched the man very hard on his jaw. “Ow, F**k!”

“You bastard, this is all your fault. You made her this way!” Emma screamed and pounced on him as well, punching the living daylight out of him.

“Emma,” Robert quickly pulled her away from the man who was laughing like a maniac.

“What have I always told you about crying?” Frederick asked Abby. “You choose to become weak at the very end. You are a shame.”

Abby smirked and grasp his tied arm. “Frederick, do you know the path I chose?”

“Jail.” He snarled. “You are a murderer and would be locked up behind bars. You made a mistake by surrendering, honey.”

“You are also going to jail, bastard!” Emma yelled.

“Emma, calm down.” Robert muttered.

“I can’t. Because of this bastard, Abby became this way and now…now, I’m going to get my best friend arrested. Do you know how heartbreaking it is?”

“I know,” Abby said. “Which is why I’ve decided to end it differently.”

Everyone had a frown on their faces.

“What do you mean?” Jersey asked.

She gave them a bittersweet smile. “Jersey, thank you for loving me. Emma, thank you for being a sister to me. Robert, please take care of her. And Ginny, stop stressing her.”

“What do you want to do, Abby?” Emma asked, tears rolling down her face.

“I want to end it all…monsters shouldn’t live among humans.” With that said, she pulled Frederick with her and jumped off the rooftop.

“No!!!”
