Sorry, this is my first House of Anubis story, so… Here we go.
Chapter One- Phone call, Tears fall
Friday Night- Right after school. (4-5pm)
Fabian POV
Nina and I walked inside and set our bags on the table.
"So," Nina said, sitting on the couch, "What do you want to do?"
Amber ran in, threw her bag on the table besides ours and sat herself by Nina.
"You didn't wait for me!" Amber said, "I asked you to wait while I grabbed something."
"Sorry Amber," Nina said, looking very sincere.
"Well, I'll forgive you of you tell me what happened between the two of you?" Amber said, looking very interested.
"Amber!" We both said at the same time, looking shocked. Nothing happens between us, why does everyone think that?
"Sorry, it's just… Oh never mind!" Amber sighed.
"So, what do you want to do on a Friday night?" I asked the two of them, sitting on the other couch.
"Well, most of us are going to a movie, would you like to come?" Amber asked.
"Nah, I think I'll catch up on my reading." Nina said.
"Fabian?" Amber asked. I could tell she was just begging me to stay.
"I'm probably going to read something on Egypt or something."
"What do we have here?" Jerome asked, looking at us.
"Go away, Jerome!" Amber snapped, she hasn't forgiven the two for their latest prank on her.
"Fine, fine." Jerome said, waving us off as if he didn't care. But he does.
"So, are we still on for the movie?" Alfie asked, sitting next to me, putting his feet on the arm rest.
"Yeah, but Fabian is going to study and Nina is catching up on her reading." Amber said, making it seem so innocent.
Jerome and Alfie raised their eyebrows and looked at me like, So you two?
"Let's go! I want to get out of here, ASAP!" Patricia called, running upstairs. "Let's get going!"
Everyone cleared out of the room, changing. Mick and Mara came in late, again.
"Nina!" Amber called.
"Got to go." Nina said, getting up and walking away.
I sighed, and walked back to my room, Mick was waiting.
"So, what are you and Nina doing tonight?" Mick asked, trying to hide the smile in his voice.
"Nothing." I said, sitting on my bed.
"You're doing something. Come on mate, we all know you and Nina got a thing for each other." Mick said, rolling his eyes.
"We don't!"
"Uh-huh." Mick said, being very sarcastic. I rolled my eyes and changed quickly.
NINA'S POV
I sat on my bed, still in my school clothes, thinking on what I should wear. Wishing I had brought more of my clothes, sadly, they were sitting in my closet at home.
"So, you really don't want to come?" Amber asked, sitting on her bed. She was in a white and black dress, her black purse over her shoulder and she smelled of peaches.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Maybe I'll go visit Sarah or something."
"Okay," Amber said, sounding sad.
"Amber!" Patricia yelled, swinging open the door. She was in her usual black tee shirt, silver jewelry and jeans. Mara was beside her, in a white tee and jeans.
"Nina!" Patricia said, sounding annoyed, "Why aren't you dress!"
"I'm not going." "What? Why!"
"I'm going to catch up on my reading, maybe visit Sarah."
"Can't that wait till a Saturday?" Patricia demanded.
"Sarah?" Mara asked, confused.
"Nothing, no one." I said, quickly.
"Fine, Nina have fun all alone."
"What do you mean all alone?" I demanded.
"Well, Trudy is coming to the movie with us and Victor is going to a meeting." Patricia said, Amber squealed in delight and ran out of the room, not saying a word.
"Is she okay?" Mara asked, looking at Amber skip down the stairs.
"I have no idea." I answered, shrugging.
The two shut the door, I could hear their footsteps as they ran down the stairs, probably going to ask Amber what that scene was all about, I have a feeling it deals with Fabian and I.
I changed quickly and ran out to the railing, just in time to see everyone leaving.
"My office is locked!" Victor yelled, before he shut the door.
That left Fabian and I.
I ran backed to my room, grabbed my book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, ran down the stairs, and sat on the armchair, letting the book suck me into the world of Harry Potter. A half an hour later….
RING! RING!
"I got it," I told Fabian, who was very focused on the paper in front of him. I picked up the phone, sat on the chair beside it, and said, "Hello?"
"Nina Martian?" A male voice asked on the other end, American accent.
"Yes, Nina here," I said smiling.
"Nina, I'm with the police, I'm Officer Jackson." My face dropped, as did my heart.
"What's the matter officer?" I asked, praying it wasn't what I think.
"It's about your Gran."
Tears fell down my face, silently. I took a deep breath and spoke on the phone, hoping my voice wasn't cracking, "Is she ok?"
"Well, she's dead."
'Thanks for trying to be gentle.' I thought.
"I'm very sorry," He said, trying to cheer me up.
"Where will I go?" I asked. "In your grandmother's will, she said you'd be going to your 2nd cousins house, I believe you know them?"
Yes, they are my best friends; Danny and Miranda Casco, we meet in 3rd grade and have been best friends since.
"Tina," -Ms. Casco- "Will be in touch, in person soon, she'll bring you back and we can have the case for custody and the funeral."
I nodded, tears falling harder. "Okay, good-bye."
Before Officer Jackson could say another word, I ran up the stairs, my tears falling freely.
I got to my room and slammed the door shut. Not bothering to turn on the lights I threw myself into my bed, pulled myself into a ball and cried.
She just can't be dead.
She was my only family. She was always there, always cared. She can't be dead, she wouldn't leave me.
But yet, she did.
Okay ,so what do you people think? I'm up for any ideas! Comment please! :)
