Amber's POV

Poor Nina! Poor Fabian!

Last night, I had to lay in bed with Nina and watch her cry until she fell asleep. Now she refused to go to school and wouldn't move from her position on the couch by the phone. Patricia walked and touched her arm "Nina." She whispered "What?" she said softly "You have to come to school." She shook Nina's shoulder and Nina shook her head "I can't I have to stay here." Patricia was about to say something when Jerome grasped her hand and tugged her away.

"She has to Jerome she can't just sit there." Jerome sighed "She just needs to hear that he's alright and I bet tomorrow she'll be fine." Patricia sighed and they walked out the door.

I sighed sadly and Mick came up and kissed my cheek "I'm going to go ahead and go to school." I nodded and he walked away. Nina leaned on end of the couch her eyes never leaving the phone, the doorbell rung and I ran to get it. I opened it to an empty porch and rolled my eyes. I stepped out and looked around and shrugged.

"That's real mature." I mumbled looking down. I leaned down picking up a note that had Nina's name written in fancy black letters. I stepped back into the house and shut the door "That's odd."

I frowned but ignored the feeling of fear and went to give Nina the note. I tapped her shoulder and she looked at me "Yes?" she whispered "Note for you." She grabbed it and opened it. I leaned over shoulder and read it.

Nina,

I'm so sorry that I didn't get to meet Fabian the proper way. Instead I met him head first, isn't it funny how life always works out? I'm watching you and I always will be.

Love,

Your faithful betrayer

"Head first what does that mean?" I asked confusedly "It means whoever wrote this note pushed Fabian down the steps and they're warning us." Nina crumbled up the note and chucked it across the room. I hugged her and she sighed "This is so stressful." I nodded "We need to get you calmed down. How about I run you some bath water and you take a bubble bath?" Nina bit her lip

"What about the phone?" I waved my hand "I'll guard it for you." She nodded and I ran upstairs and started to run the water. I mixed in some bubble bath and bubbles filled the top when I was done. I ran downstairs and she smiled "Thanks Amber you're the best." I nodded and she walked upstairs. I took her place on the couch and waited for it to ring.

I stared at it my eyes drooping slightly as I sat there. I yawned and stretched out laying my head on the pillow I curled up and waited. About 30 minutes later Nina came down in some pajama shorts, a tank top, and a robe on. She sat down beside me and stared at the phone. Trudy came in from the kitchen "I'll fix you girls something to eat." I smiled half-heartedly "Thank you, Trudy." She smiled and ducked into the kitchen.

Nina stared longingly at the phone as if she was willing it to ring. I sighed and got up grabbing the note reading it over "Your faithful betrayer? Wouldn't that mean someone among us?" Nina nodded "Someone with an inside look on the level of a student. It has to be someone who is close with Fabian and the House of Anubis." I gasped "The only one who fits that description is…" she closed her eyes and finished my sentence "Joy."

I shook my head "Joy couldn't have done it." Nina nodded "I understand you're denial but right now she's our only suspect." I sighed "I suppose so." Nina patted my hand "I know she's your friend but we have to know who did this." Trudy walked in interrupting our conversation "I've got oatmeal with raisins, toast, and a tall glass of orange juice." I smiled and got up hugging her "Thanks Trudy." She grinned "No problem now you two go ahead and eat. I'm going to go to the market." We nodded and she walked out of the house shutting the door behind her.

I picked up our plates and we curled up on the couch and ate it while we waited. I finished and took our plates into the kitchen rinsing them off and putting them in the sink. The phone rung and Nina nearly jumped over the couch to get to it "Hello!" she smiled "Hi it's Dr. Graves, isn't it?" she nodded "How's Fabian?" She put the phone on speaker as the doctor started talking. Dr. Graves sighed "Well I've got good news and bad news. He had a dislocated shoulder and a broken leg so he will be on bed rest for a while. Good news is there was no brain damage or anything having to do with his memory. He will be able to come back to the house in about 3 days." I smiled "Thank you doctor." She said and hung up.

She had a little sparkle in her eyes "I have to go see him." She said running upstairs. I ran after her "Don't we have to get permission." She was throwing on a skirt and a green with a black cardigan "No time." she said fixing her hair. I slipped on a pair of jeans and a t shirt and my flats "I'm coming with you." she nodded solemnly "I know I wouldn't have let you stay here anyway." I laughed.

She ripped out a piece of paper and some tape and we ran down the steps leaving a note stuck on the banister we opened the door and walked out. We caught the bus and made our way to the hospital. It was awkward and squished and I swore some dude was about to feel me up before we got off.

Awkward.

Nina's POV

The bus driver let us off at the front entrance of the hospital. He gave us a smile and shut the door driving off. We walked in and I walked up to the nurse's desk "We're here to see Fabian Rutter." She looked me over "Who might you be?" I blushed "I'm Fabian's girlfriend and that's his really close friend Amber." She frowned "I usually don't let in none family members but since you're so polite I'll let you in." I smiled "Thank you." I grabbed Amber's wrist and we followed the nurse to room 135.

She opened the door and closed it behind us. I pulled a pale blue curtain back to reveal a pasty white, bandaged up Fabian. I looked down and shook my head as Amber grasped my hand pulling me forward. Fabian's eyes were distant and flat as they settled on us. I leaned next to him and grabbed my hand "Hi Fabian." I whispered and he blinked. Amber grasped his other hand "We know you can't talk because of the tube but we want you to know that we are going to find the person who did this to you."

Amber sniffed "Everyone misses you so much Nina hasn't been able to do anything." The heart monitor beeped slowly in the background "We have to get back Amber." She nodded and hugged Fabian slightly "Bye Fabian."

He blinked again and squeezed my hand nodding slightly. I leaned down and kissed his cheek "Bye."

Fabian is in the hospital *sob*! Did Joy push him? Will they every figure this out? Who left the note ?

MWHAHAHAHA!

You'll just have to find out laterrrr?

Love,
