AN: Ladies and Gents chapter nine! Yayy, hope you like it.

Nina woke up around nine, thankful for the fact that she was able to sleep in on account of it being the weekend. After she cleaned herself up and got dressed in a cute pair of denim shorts and a white blouse, she made her way downstairs to the living room. She felt sore and her head still hurt somewhat from fainting yesterday, but she thought she would feel a little better once she ate. The fact that she didn't have any dinner last night wasn't helping her case. To Nina's surprise the majority of her housemates were still asleep. She walked into the sitting area expecting to see her boyfriend's face; however she was greeted by Fabian's bright smile instead. He was sitting on the long red couch writing in a small black marbled notebook. "Nina! How are you feeling?" he questioned as she walked over to sit next to him on the sofa. "I'm ok; I have a slight headache though. What's this?" she asked pointing to the black and white notebook. "Back to writing songs?" she asked with a smirk pinching at the ends of her lips. "Yah," Fabian answered with a smile. "I figured I'd take your advice and start writing again since I can't play guitar for a few more months." Nina tapped the cover of the notebook with her cherry red painted nails and asked "will I ever get to hear one again -a Fabian original that is?" Fabians cheeks grew slightly red as he answered, "maybe, if I can ever get to the end of one. Everything I seem to write, I get stuck half way through. I guess I'm just not inspired enough." As he reached the word inspired in his answer Fabian locked eyes with Nina. They seemed to be communicating through eye contact alone; that is until Nina heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Hey babe" Eddie called from the living room doorway, causing Nina and Fabian to shift uncomfortably in their seats. Eddie walked over and took a seat in between Nina and Fabian. "Morning Eddie, how'd you sleep?" Nina questioned after giving him a peck on the lips. "Ok, I guess but I was worried about you all night. I came to check on you a few times to make sure you were ok." "Awww Eddie, you are so cute! Come here" Nina pulled Eddie closer to her and rested her head on his chest. Eddie looked down at her "Are you feeling better today?" Nina shook her head against the soft cotton of his flannel shirt, "I'm fine, just a slight headache." During this conversation between Eddie and Nina, Fabian chose to awkwardly sit on the left side of the couch until he was re-noticed by the couple. Watching them kiss struck a nerve. He was embarrassed to be watching this intimacy between his ex-girlfriend and his ex-best friend, yet he was also angry. And the longer he sat there, the angrier he got. Fabian's blood began to boil and just before his eyes were about to take that vibrant shade of green, he made eye contact with Nina. She was smiling at him, and just like that he was snapped out of it. Nina was the cause of his possession while simultaneously being the anchor to keep him from going over the edge. But, how long would just her smile sustain him?

The three sat talking on the sofa until the rest of their housemates came piling in for breakfast. Both of the boys agreed by eye contact that it wasn't the right time to talk about Nina's vision. After a delicious breakfast of Trudy's homemade Waffles and eggs, the three decided to go down to the secret room in the cellar. Fabian reached up and flicked the rolling tiles to read 1890, a second latter the heavy stone door slid open. Eddie, Nina, and Fabian stepped in and the stone slab gave a bang as it closed behind them. "So-" Nina started as a way to break the uncomfortable silence surrounding them. "I'm guessing we are here to talk about my vision?" Both boys nodded in agreement. "Well, she continued, it's a little hazy but I remember most of it." She inhaled, preparing how to tell Eddie and Fabian the news. "In my vision, Fabian gets possessed by an Egyptian God, turning his eyes a vibrant green. And, for the really bad part well…" "What?!" both boys exclaim at the same time. "Ah, Fabian you stab Eddie in the stomach, and when you pulled out the knife that's when I woke up." Fabian's face dropped and Eddie's mouth hung open. "I-I do what?" Fabian studded out in disbelief. The silence in the room was defining. "You guys, you both have to send me away. Gt me locked up or put in an institution. I-I can't live with myself if I kill you. Even worse what if you're not the only one I kill?" What if I hurt Nina? He thought to himself. "Fabian, calm down." Nina said as she walked over to him. Fabian was beginning to hyperventilate; Nina needed to calm him down quickly before he went into a full blown panic attack. "Fabes look at me," she said to him in a soothing but firm manner. "You need to relax, sit down and take deep breaths." They walked over to the slightly dusty black love seat and Nina began to rub his back with small circular motions. Eddie and Nina both had faces of worry until finally Fabian began to breathe regularly again. "What are we going to do?" Fabian asked with his hands in his palms. "We will figure this out. Don't worry Fabian; you're not going to kill anybody." Eddie answered. "Set is not going to win." "Set? As in the envious Egyptian God, Set?" Nina questioned. Oh boy, here we go. Nina is going to find out my jealousy is the cause of this whole mess, Fabian thought to himself as his pressed his head harder into his hands.

How is Nina going to react? Please review! I would love to know your thoughts on the story as a whole so far. How do you like the plot and the personalities of the characters? Also quick poll, who do you see Nina ending up with in the end-will she stay with Eddie, or do you think she will find her way back to Fabian? Thanks for reading. New chapter coming soon.
