Chapter 12
Eddie's POV
I was able to sneak back into my room last night without waking up Fabian. After a night's sleep (that was restless I might add) I wake up to Fabian calling my name.
"Eddie! Eddie! How'd it go last night?!"
"Being completely honest," I say, "horrible." "Why?" Fabian asks, "What happened? Is Nina okay?" he asks worriedly. "Yeah, she's fine, don't worry," I say, "She just...doesn't trust me." "What?" Fabian asks, taking a seat on the edge of my bed. "She thinks I helped them kidnap her." I respond. "Well, technically you did," Fabian says as I shoot him a glare. "Sorry," he says, "not helping." "I don't know what to do!" I exclaim. "She's afraid of me Fabian! She doesn't trust me! I wasn't able to tell her anything except to hide her phone!" I say as I get out of bed and start to get ready for school. An awkward silence falls over the room. I'm mad. Mad that Nina doesn't trust me. Mad that this even happened in the first place! Fabian soon stands up and gets ready for school. I leave the room, skipping breakfast, and heading straight toward the school.
Fabian's POV
She doesn't trust him. So she feels alone, and she's probably scared. Poor Nina. If she heard from me...would she feel better? Would she believe Eddie? I said that Nina couldn't know I knew where she was, and Eddie agreed. I thought that would be best for her. That she would at least have Eddie, but she doesn't. He gave her her phone though...I can call her...tell her that Eddie is trying to help her...what's the worst that can happen?
Nina's POV
I wake up, still in this room. Nothing's changed. Since there's nothing to do here, I begin to think of my encounter with Eddie last night. Why would he do this? He's supposed to protect me, so there's no reason as to why he would do kidnap me, unless A- he turned bad like Rufus, or B- they have something on him. As all these thoughts are racing through my mind, my pillow starts vibrating. I hid my phone in the pillow case last night. I anxiously pull my phone out from the pillow case and look at the caller ID. Fabian!
(Phone conversation: Nina italic/Fabian bold)
Fabian!
Nina! Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, but listen. I've been kidnapped.
I know love, listen, Eddie is helping you.
He's helping me?! How is he helping me?! He helped them kidnap me!
I know that he did, but the teachers would have kidnapped you with or without Eddie. If he pretends to be on their side, he can help you get out!
So he really is helping me?
Yes!
Well now I feel bad! I was horrible to him yesterday!
Don't worry about it, he'll be fine. Now listen to me, Eddie doesn't know I'm calling you, so the next time he sees you, don't mention it okay?
I got it.
And don't worry Nina. He can help you get out. You'll be back with us soon. I promise.
Thanks Fabian...I think someone's coming but I have to ask- why did Eddie do this? If he really is helping me then he hasn't turned bad, so they must have something on him, but what? I have to go Fabian, I love you!
I love you too Nina!
*End call*
Fabian's POV
They have something on Eddie? What is it? I have to find out. As I exit my room and start walking toward the school to find Eddie, the last words Nina said to me start replaying in my mind.
I love you!
