Gone
A/N: This is set in Season Two, but it doesn't really matter.
Nina's POV
It wasn't a strange day. It was just a normal day. I didn't have some strange feeling in the pit of my stomach, a feeling that something was different. Amber woke me up, and I got dressed and went downstairs. I sat in my normal seat next to Fabian. We talked about the search, as I ate some toast. Nothing weird. But things started to get weird when Trudy walked into the room. She looked upset, and sympathetic.
"Nina, sweetie, can I talk to you for a second?" she asked, and I stood up.
"Be back in a sec," I told Fabian, then walked out of the room. I had no idea what Trudy wanted to talk about, but it couldn't be good.
"Nina, Sweetie." She said, looking at me in a sympathetic way that made my stomach clench with nervousness. "It's about your Gran" At those words, my stomach seemed to fall down to my feet, while my heart jumped into my throat.
"Yes?" I said, choking out the words.
"I got a call last night," Trudy said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but there were a lot of complications we had to sort out. She passed away yesterday afternoon."
I knew the words were coming, but nothing could prepare them for them. Tears welled up in my eyes and splashed down my face, falling into my hair and mouth. I tried not to cry out, because there was a room full of other students just a couple feet away, but it was hard. I let myself fall into Trudy's arms. She guided me up the stairs, and into my room. I sunk down on the bed, and Trudy left to go get me a cup of water. I was grateful for the absence, and I also felt lost without her. I needed someone, anyone, to replace the part of me that Gran had taken away when she left this world. So when I heard the door open, I was relived.
"Trudy?" I asked, not looking up. But she didn't answer, just sat down next to me. And then I realized it wasn't Trudy. It was Fabian. I turned to look at him.
"Fabian? Oh Fabian." I sobbed, "It's Gran. Fabian she, she."
But he interrupted me, "Nina, I know."
He didn't need to say anything else. Instead, he just put his arm around my shoulder, and I leaned into him. He was here, and that's all that mattered right now.
A/N: This is my first story I'm posting on here, and I am sorry it couldn't be posted sooner. I will post chapters every Friday, I think, but because this is my very special first story, Chapter Two might come up tomorrow, no promises though. ;) I also want to thank HOAsibunafanatic for making me one of her favorite authors BEFORE this was posted. It meant a lot.
