Hey…I wub you.

really? the best HOA story you've read? I'm honored!

(I made up her middle name… sounds cool though right?)

1. It Will Rain by Bruno Mars

2. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen

3. Girl On Fire by Arshad (it's Peeta's song for the Hunger Games… amazing.)

4. Secret by people (the full Pretty little liars theme song…its creepie. look it up.:D)

(and over and over )

A shuddered cry rang out from upstairs and Victor pushed past them all, rushing for the sound but the others couldn't move. Nina's heart broke as she leaned forward, sobbing at the sight of Fabian's fragile body. They'd done it now. It was stupid to die for her.

Eddie sighed. "Guys…I think we should go upstairs." He said imagining Nina having to watch them take him away. He shook his head. "Amber!" He hissed, glaring at her. "Take Nina upstairs."

Amber stood up, quickly gathering her composure and turning up the stairs while dragging Nina behind her. Alfie followed somberly and then both Jerome and Mara followed too. Mara looked sick. Jerome looked majorly confused. Chores, who would've thought Rutter would kill himself?

Eddie walked into the room, frowning at Fabian's body before noticing that Fabian's laptop was sitting on Eddie's bed. He turned to quickly cross the room, taking it in his arms along with the folder that was underneath it.

Then he quickly turned upstairs without looking at Fabian's body again. It was too weird. He trudged up the stairs one at a time, forcing himself from looking into Patricia's room. Nina's door was open and she was on her bed, shaking desperately while Amber held her close, fighting her own tears. Mara was sitting against the wall with her legs pulled to her chin, head in her knees with Jerome beside her, shaking his head. Alfie was leaning against a wall, head drooping a bit. Eddie shuffled over to Amber's bed, sitting down on the edge and looking at the laptop in his hands.

"I just don't understand. Why would Fabian do this?" Mara asked, looking up with a frown. She shuddered and Jerome slipped an arm around her waist, pulling her close in a Jerome like fashion.

Nina curled up with her pillow, hugging it closely to her chest. "I don't know." She whispered in a broken tone because she didn't know. She didn't understand why he'd done this to save her when she wasn't worth saving. She wasn't worth dying for! She was just Nina Nichol Martin, the American, the Chosen One.

"Because he loved Nina!" Amber blurted out and Alfie, Nina and Eddie shot her a look. Amber's expression darkened, recalculating her statement. "He loved Nina and he was under the impression that he was only in the way of her and Eddie." She thought for a moment before adding, "I guess that was what happened with Patricia too."

Nina's eyes scrunched up as she pulled the pillow closer to her body. She avoided Eddie's eyes and focused away from him at the door. Her breathing slowly steadied as did her tears. They raced down her cheeks leaving hot lines down her cheek and making Eddie cringe. Something other than his Osirian bond made his stomach clench at the sight.

Mara frowned. "Nina and Eddie?" She asked, making a face. She glanced from Nina to Eddie and back several times before shaking her head. She couldn't picture it but Nina and Fabian had been so close together for so long it was kind of ingrained in her brain. She couldn't see Nina with anyone else. Unlike Amber who she'd seen date both Mick and Alfie along with others of less importance, Nina seemed steadfast in her love for Fabian.

"Neddie." Amber proclaimed and both Nina and Eddie shot her a look. Amber stuck her tongue out at them. She was just saying. Everyone in the house could have a name. She liked naming people! She was just saying. Though Nina's boyfriend had just killed himself to save her from dying, but still. She was just saying!

"There is no Neddie." Eddie and Nina answered in their identical accents. Their words bounced around in the silence, consuming the airwaves. There was no Neddie. They may have been tied together by some sort of insane Egyptian mythology but there was no Neddie.

Jerome smirked into the silence. "Really, then why are Rutter and Williamson dead?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at them. "Seems like a kind of perfect match there."

Nina dropped her head to her knees and Mara sighed. "That was not helpful, Jerome." She mumbled, standing up and taking his hand. "Lets go." She mumbled, pulling him from the room and nodding at the others as they smiled in silent gratitude.

The room was silent for a pause before it happened. The voice was there again, speaking so clearly to them. "Very good children now look to your left, then look to your right and just to the side. You will find the piece where things like to hide." It hissed and with heavy hearts, each of them did as they were told. Nina didn't move but in a few moments, Amber had found the next piece to the mirror under Nina's bed. "Don't look so glum, you're almost done. Just three more pieces and you'll all be free. Now turn to the sun and look through the cracks to find the next piece but don't forget to watch out for your time. Days are slipping by now and the Chosen One won't be spared although if you finish this task you will be given what you want most."

Silence dropped over the room like a cloak and Nina glanced at Eddie, spotting the laptop beside him. She frowned. "Why do you have Fabian's laptop?" She asked, sitting up and looking at him intently.

"It was on my bed." He answered, picking it up. "I'd forgotten about it actually…" He mumbled, opening it in the muted silence. All he could hear was their breathing as he looked at the screen, eyes scanning over the words. "Nina, Amber, come here." He muttered under his breath, scrolling down the page. He couldn't believe it. His heart was racing.

Nina slipped out of bed and hurried to his side, looking over his shoulder. It felt wrong because she'd spent so much time in this position with Fabian, but this was no time to dispute it. Amber slipped on Eddie's side and frowned over at him to look at Nina. "This feels wrong." She stated, shaking her head before reading quietly.

"And Alfie, I'm sure." Alfie mumbled, walking over.

Nina's eyes widened. "The mirror of Isis was said to be able to bring people back to life." She whispered under her breath and looked at Eddie. "They knew." She told him.

He nodded, handing her the note he'd found stuck inside the laptop. "I didn't open it." He added and Nina nodded, unfolding it.

By the way, I love you. Nina shook her head, refolding the little scrap of paper and setting it beside her. "What's that notebook?" She asked, reaching over him to pick it up.

"Don't know. It was under the laptop." He answered, still looking at the laptop.

Nina opened the notebook and smiled. It was all Fabian's geeky research he'd done for the various mysteries they'd solved. He'd left it for them. Aw. Tears stung in her eyes and Eddie wrapped an arm around her face.

"You okay?" He asked and she shrugged. No, no she wasn't.

I want Eddie to give Nina a nickname. Suggestions?
