They saw that she was turning down a narrow path along the cliff. Rich and 18 Alana were just a few yards behind. But Tiffany kept going. She ran like the wind to the edge of the rocky cliff. For an instant she stopped there and looked back at them. Her hair was whipping wildly about her face. R ich and Alana ran across the top of the cliff. Alana followed, her hands stinging as they slid against the cold, rough stone. Rich stopped on a rocky ledge at the edge of the water. After ducking under a wave, he bobbed up on the other side.
Alana saw him swim forward a few strokes. But then his head blended into the darkness of the water, and he was lost from her sight. She shivered and drew back against the steep wall of the cliff. She waited, scanning the water beyond, and wishing she had kept the flashlight. Then Alana remembered the cell phone in her jacket. She pulled it out with frozen fingers and punched in When the dispatcher answered, Alana strained to hear his voice above the pounding waves.
Suddenly, she could see two dark heads bobbing just below her. Alana crouched down on the narrow ledge. Soaked and shaking with cold, Alana leaned out over the water as far as she dared. Then the wave pulled back, nearly wrenching Tiffany away. But Alana tightened her grip on the ledge and pulled Tiffany closer. Alana felt a stab of fear. As another wave rocked him forward, he struggled to push Tiffany up toward the ledge.
Alana could hear him gasping. Her muscles ached with the cold. Glancing up, she saw a new wave, white-tipped and taller than the rest, come bearing down on them. Then Alana felt herself being swept off the ledge and into the water. Now she was sobbing helplessly with fear and disappointment and exhaustion. Suddenly, the water around them was lit with a bright beam from above. A minute later, strong arms were lifting Alana from the water.
Then she closed her eyes. The next thing Alana knew she was in some kind of vehicle, driving away. Voices floated above her. Then Alana heard the sound of coughing and terrible retching. Someone put a firm hand on her shoulder. Alana closed her eyes again, feeling light with relief. Then someone gave her something warm to drink. Abuela arrived and held her hand. Alana drifted off to sleep. When she woke, all she wanted was to go home. Abuela was signing some forms when Rich appeared at the side of her bed.
Then his voice tightened in anger. The doctor ordered Alana to stay home and rest for a day or two. She used the time to work out her plan. First, she found an ad in the phone book: Then she called the number. Yes, explained the secretary, Ms. Hernandez would talk to her, and yes, she sometimes took cases for free.
That sort of legal work was called pro bono. The next day, Alana sat on one side 25 of a dark mahogany desk, and Letitia Hernandez sat on the other. When Alana finished talking, Ms. Hernandez snapped her notebook shut. Alana shook her head. Attempted suicide would certainly indicate there had been severe harassment. And you say you have the notes this boy sent her. But I need to hear the story from Tiffany. He wants to beat Chuy to a pulp!
Just come talk to her, Tiff.
