Eddie`s POV

I stepped out of the cab in front of Anubis House. None of them knew I was coming back. I couldn't talk to them yet. I had to see them in person. I knocked on the door slowly, another tear escaped my eye. Trudy answered looking surprised.

"Eddie dear." She said. Her eyes were red and puffy. Like she'd been crying. She probably had.

"Trudy." Tears poured down my cheeks as I hugged her. "Where is everyone?"

"None of them have left their rooms besides meals and school. They're too upset."

"Do you think we can get them out here?"

"Why?"

"Nina left me a message for everyone. I need to deliver it."

"Alright. I`ll get them." She went to the boys rooms and I sat down in the common room. Not much had changed since I left. I heard Trudy rush up the stairs and a group of puffy eyes guys walked in.

"Eddie, what are you doing here?" Fabian asked.

"I came back after the games." I said. "They let us go." The others came down and looked at me in surprise as they sat down. Before they could say anything I started. "Now I know you're wondering why I'm here. It's because of Nina. She gave me a message in the arena for you guys. She said that, even though her start here was a bit rocky with all of you, you were her best friends. She couldn't apologize enough for all of the lies and trouble she caused." I tried to continue but I started crying again. Patricia sat next to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"She has no reason to apologize." Joy said.

"Everything she caused made us better." Alfie said. "Brought us closer together."

"It would still be dull here if Nina never came." Amber said.

"I can`t believe she`s gone." Mara said.

"She was the glue that kept us together." Jerome said.

"She was also the one that made us fall apart." Fabian said.

"Fabian!" Patricia said. "She`s gone and that`s all you can say about her?"

"You never loved her, did you?" I asked.

"I did love her!" Fabian yelled. "Don't you dare accuse me otherwise."

"Then why are you acting like such a prick?"

"She broke my heart."

"And now she's dead!" Patricia said. "Can you get over your petty problems and remember that?"

"What is going on here?" Trudy asked, rushing into the room.

"I`m going back to my room." Fabian said. He stormed off. Patricia began crying into my shoulder and Joy went after Fabian.

"Do you know if they`ll have a funeral?" Jerome asked.

"Katniss and Peeta didn't say." I said. "But they did say they were coming here soon. Nina wrote a will when she got home. She wanted people to be able to read it and have closure."

"When are they coming?" Mara asked.

"tomorrow."
