I recommend reading Anubis In America before reading this story.
Here is the sequel to Anubis In America! I can't really think of a title so please give me some suggestions in the reviews!
I do not own HOA
Enjoy!
Joy's POV
It's been a month. A month since anyone has heard from her. She hasn't called me or Mara or anyone really. The only phone calls we got were from this random girl who won't stop calling. Plus, she's left message after message asking for Eddie. I'm just so sick of it. It's probably that girl from that video. Fabian hasn't been coming around and the others haven't either. Alfie has been trying to get Eddie out of bed, but he won't budge. Eddie hasn't left his and Nina's room since she left. Mara just shut me out two weeks ago, and I don't understand why. So here I am, sitting in one of their guest rooms thinking to myself. Just wondering 'Where would she go?'
My thoughts were quickly interrupted by Mara barging into my room. I stood up from the bed that I was sitting on as I said "What do you want Mara? Finally want to talk to me after two weeks? Thanks, but no thanks."
Mara walked over to me with her laptop in her hands and said "I'm going to pretend that you didn't just say that, because these past couple of weeks I've been doing research.
I rolled my eyes as I said "Really Mara? Research at this time in our lives! One of our friends is missing and the other is-"
Mara shushed me with a finger to my lips. "This stuff was actually relevant to our lives though! Listen, you know how that girl who was calling the house non-stop? Well, turns out I now know where she lives because in one of the messages she left she said her full name and number which made it easier to find out where she lives through the phonebook and a little thing called the internet."
I blinked my eyes in disbelief. "Wait, so this is why you shut me out?" She nodded her head in response. "Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go grill this girl!"
Nina's POV
"You would have liked him before all of this happened. He's a really nice guy but now he's a different person. I really thought that he was the one. I was ready to give him everything. My life, my precious flower, and my heart. What should I do?"
I looked at the two gravestones in front of me. I looked at them with hope surging through my body. Neither of them won't say anything they haven't said anything in 16 years. I come every year on the anniversary of their death, on both of their birthdays, their wedding anniversary, and July 7. My birthday. Every year I come and they don't answer. They won't ever answer.
I'm just really tired. I'm tired of the lying, the backstabbing, and the betrayal. Most of all, I'm tired of not getting answers. I don't remember once in my life where I've gotten an explanation. I'm just tired.
Eddie's POV
1 month, 3 days, 14 hours, 53 minutes, and 21 seconds since she left. It's also been that long since I've left this apartment, this room, and this bed. Alfie has come every day giving me a glass of juice and a bagel, and sometimes pancakes. I can't believe that I was so stupid as to make that deal with Fabian. I couldn't even try to fake sleeping with May. Fabian had his camera's and everything set up to make sure that I did the real thing. I don't even know if that May girl was an actress or a really clueless girl that just happened to stumble upon Fabian.
Andre has even tried to come and get me out of bed. He insists that everything will be okay, but it won't be as long as she's mad at me and we're broken up things aren't going to be okay. I just want to hold her, and be with her. If I knew where she was I would go there in a heart beat, but I don't know where she is. So, I'll just lay here and wallow in my own filth.
Mara's POV
Joy and I walked up a cobblestone path towards a Spanish style house. We walked up towards the house with a very hesitant look placed on both of our faces. Joy looked towards me and I nodded as a sign to knock on the door. Joy hesitantly knocked on the door. We stood there in an anxious silence as we waited for someone to come and answer the door.
I heard a series of footsteps before a girl who looked like she was in her late teens opened the door opened the door. She had long brown hair and tan skin. She looked at us with her grayish-green eyes. "Can I help you?"
Joy began to speak. "Hi. I'm Joy and this is Mara. We're friends of Eddie. Are you May Parker?"
The girl leaned against the doorway and said "Yeah. I'm May, and I also know Eddie, but that doesn't explain why you're here."
I finally began to speak. "Um, we were just wondering if we could just talk to you and ask you a few questions?"
She moved out the doorway and with a wave of her hand she said "I guess so. Come on in."
Nina's POV
" I know I've said this all before but you would have like him. Before all of this happened. We met through dance. You're favorite thing mom. I wish you could see how good I've become. I even competed on a national television show, and I came in second place. Along with him. Um, life has been crazy. Life has been sad." I started to cry pretty hard. "I wish you could tell me what to do. I wish you both could tell me what to do. Can you even help me? Please."
The tears started to come faster and faster. They just wouldn't stop. "But it looks like neither of you will answer. Will you? You guys never answer. I come on both of your birthdays, your wedding anniversary, the anniversary of your death, and July 7th. My birthday. Every year you guys never answer. Will someone just please answer!"
Eddie's POV
All of a sudden the blinds in my room opened. The bright lights from the sun shone through. "I told you Alfie, I'm not getting out of bed!"
"It's not Alfie."
I rose up from my spot on my bed. "Yacker?"
"In the flesh. Now, come on Eddie. Let's be us. You know that it was going to come true at some point. Why not have it happen now?"
"Get the hell out of my apartment."
"Fine. Be that way slime ball. Just remember I won't be here with open arms when she doesn't come back."
She walked right out the bedroom closing the door behind her. What does she mean when she doesn't come back? Nina and I love each other right? We can get through anything, even this.
Nina's POV
"Hey Andre it's me. Sorry, I've been A-Wall for the last month. I just needed to get away from everything. I got the script for Lovestruck: The Musical and I'll be at the table read on Tuesday. So, don't worry my career is still active, just not with him. I'll only see Eddie when necessary though, so don't try anything. Thanks. Call me back when you get this message. Bye."
I ran through fingers through my hair, as I started to wander around the room I was in. As I began to think to myself my mind couldn't help but wander towards Eddie, and all the things that we've went through. Is it stupid that I still love him? I don't even know anymore. I'm just not the same anymore. Why are relationships so effing complicated?
Joy's POV
"So that's what happened?"
Mara and I now sit in the living room of May Parker. Apparently the girl who Eddie cheated with. May nodded her head at my question. "You're 19 right?" She again nodded her head. Mara, obviously feeling the tension in the room quickly excused us, and May just led us to her door, and we bid our very short and awkward goodbyes.
Once Mara and I were a good distance away from May's house we quickly erupted into conversation. "Do you think she was telling the truth?"
I shrugged my shoulders at Mara's response as we started to hail a cab. "I don't know what to believe anymore. Should we go see what Eddie has to say? I mean, we haven't even talked to him since Nina left. I think we could possibly get answers."
Mara turned towards me as a cab pulled up. "That is a good idea. Let's try a gentle approach though. Don't want to make him angry or anything. Just remember be settle."
I scoffed at Mara's words. "Settle is my middle name."
We opened the doors to the apartment. Mara and I strutted down the hallway towards Nina and Eddie's room. I quickly knocked on the door with a look of determination all across my face. I opened the door and walked though to see Eddie actually out of bed, and properly clothed with actual clean clothes. The blinds were open, and the bed was made up.
Mara and I shared a look of concern as we both carefully took a step forward, and looked him up and down. His hair was combed, teeth were brushed, he shaved, he just looks really clean. "What the hell happened to you Eddie?!"
He smirked at me. "You see, I want Nina to see me as a nice clean young man who is willing to sacrifice to be with her."
I raised my eyebrows at this. "Listen, what ever you trying to do is stupid, because I don't know who would trust you after you hurt Nina like that."
Eddie sighed as he sat down on the edge of his bed. "You guys don't know the whole the story, and that's something that you guys don't need to know because there is one thing that you should know and that is how much I love Nina. You don't understand how much I love her! I would jump off a fucking cliff for her! Hell, I was going to propose to her! So don't judge me for what happened. you guys aren't getting any answers from me. Just remember one thing. I won't forget about her."
Eddie stormed out of the room in a rage as Alfie came in looking as worried as ever. "Would you guys mind telling me what just happened while I was in the bathroom?"
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter I hope you all love this story, and continue to follow it through its timeline!
