After hearing the scream, Martin slammed on the door to Alex's room, it was locked. He tried kicking it, he wasn't strong enough on his own. With dread, he yelled out, "Ryan?! Ollie?!"
They came out almost immediately; Zoe was still screaming.
"Help me." He said, panicking. They started kicking at the door,
"Alex let her go!" Yelled Martin, giving a huge kick to the door before it gave way completely.
Martin saw them on the bed. The screaming had stopped. Alex put his hands up, laughing as Martin gazed down on Zoe who lay limp on the bed, her neck red.
"Zoe? Zoe?!" He yelled, his eyes wide before they focused on Alex's.
Martin ran quickly over to Alex, pushing him against the wall while Ryan and Ollie rushed to Miss Flynn.
"Get her in the other room! Lock the door! Call an ambulance! Make sure she's okay!" Yelled Martin, pulling a punch on Alex.
Ollie and Ryan made eye contact, Ryan placed his arms under Zoe's knees and back while Ollie ran to the door, opening it and supporting her head as they carried her into the other room.
"Make room! Please!" Called Ryan, setting her down gently onto the bed.
"Oh my god what happened?!" Gasped Jemma, running over,
"He strangled her- I- I don't know what to do..!" Said Ryan, feeling Zoe's neck.
Ollie was calling an ambulance and the police as Cloda came into the scene,
"Is she breathing?" She asked,
"I- I don't know..." said Ryan, taking a step back.
Cloda tilted Zoe's head up and put her ear to her mouth.
"Yeh I can hear her breathing." She said, "I know Mr McCafferson told us to stay in here but.."
They all stayed silent and listening to the moaning from the next room.
"I know I'm not much use but I can't just sit here and listen to him get hurt." Said Ollie.
Suddenly Zoe started gasping,
"Lucy get her some water." Ordered Cloda, helping Zoe lean up.
"W-what happened.." Whispered Zoë with a hollow voice,
"Martin's in there now." Said Ollie, "are you okay, Miss?"
Zoe nodded, touching her neck. "Yeah.." She replied, "and did you just call your teacher by his real name?"
"Yes I did Zoe." He said before running outside the door.

"You don't know anything, Martin." Spat Alex, kicking Martin to the ground.
"Yes I do." Growled Martin, grasping Alex's leg and pulling him down.
"What? That I was the one that got your woman pregnant? That your precious daughter wasn't actually yours?!"
Martin put his arm against Alex's throat. "I saw her phone. Yes."
Alex gave a smile through his bleeding teeth. "How does it feel to lose?" He asked Martin.
Martin bit his lip, staring into Alex's dark menacing eyes.
"Why did you do it?" He asked, giving up, Alex leaned him up against the wall, laughing. "Why did you do it?!" He yelled, "Why did you kill Martha?! Why did you kill Ellie?! Why have you been stalking my students?! Why have you been torturing Zoe?! Why are you doing this to us?!"
Alex pushed Martin to the ground, "because I found a girl I liked: Emily. But I couldn't have her because she had you! And now I've found another girl that I like and now you've gone and taken her from me too!" Alex pushed his nails into Martin's shoulders until they drew blood, Martin yelled in the pain making Ollie run in and kick Alex to the ground.
"Ollie get out!" Yelled Martin, climbing on top of Alex.
"I remember you Ollie." Croaked Alex. Making Ollie pause.
"I remember you and this little blonde kid laughing and running on the pavement. And then you let go of her, and I was going to stop.. but then I thought about it, and by the time I thought about it she was already under the wheel of my car." Chuckled Alex, the blood dripping from his nose as he wheezed in the laughter. Martin punched his face again. Ollie took a step closer, "Ollie go back into the other room-"
His eyes were wide and watering, his fists were clenched as he bit his lip and ran back.
"Why did you do it to him..?" Growled Martin, "you're telling me that this is my fault! Then why are you ruining their lives!" He yelled, grabbing Alex by the collar and dragging him up against the wall before he felt an enormous jab of pain inside him.
"Because you're a good man, Martin." Whispered Alex before yanking a knife out of Martin's stomach making him fall to the ground. "You love these kids more than yourself." He said, watching Martin shriek in the pain, "seeing them suffer is the one thing that hurts you the most."
"Ollie... where's Ollie..?" Breathed Martin,
"That's my whole point. You worry about them even when you're in the most harm. I killed your family and you're still here. So I've destroyed their lives. I pretended to be a doctor, I told Ryan he's got epilepsy. I've got no idea if he's got it or not. Same with Lucy. I'm supposed to be a cover doctor for her mother. I talk to her dad, I tell him I'll take her off life support if he doesn't beat he shit out of Lucy every night." Martin's eyes widened in horror, "you already know about Ollie, and Cloda, well I snogged the face off her, better be careful with that slut, she falls for anyone."
"And Jemma? What about Jemma?" Muttered Martin, a tear falling from his eye in pain, "I took pictures of her, I destroyed her name. Broke into her house, put a camera in her room, I've been blackmailing her with those images for months."
"You sick sick bastard.." groaned Martin, losing energy.
"So how does it feel to know the truth?" Said Alex to Martin, "that your wife was a cheater and that Martha wasn't yours?"
Alex put his knife under Martin's throat.
"Martha was my daughter." Insisted Martin, "And Emily was my best friend. And I cheated on her too. So what?" Martin spat out blood, looking down as the door opened again and everyone walked in. "You may have been Martha's father but you weren't her dad."
"I was more of a dad than you ever where." Spat Alex,
"Oh really? What was her favourite bed time story? The game she played in the bath? Her favourite colour? Her favourite food? What did she want to be when she grew up? Yeah?! Where were you for her birthdays? Where were you when she was born in the hospital? Where were you when she was sick? Do you wanna know where I was? I was right beside her. For everything! So I don't give a damn about if you cared for her! Because she didn't even know you existed! And you just shot her! You've achieved nothing." Martin yelled, the tears streaming down his face before he just couldn't keep going anymore. His eyes closed as the pain surrounded him and make him black out into oblivion.
