Chapter 50 (Amber's pov)
"Fabian, are we going the right way?" Nina asked.
"Yeah."
"Are you sure? I don't remember us going this way when you drove here."
"I wanted to take the long way. This is a shortcut."
"There's a shortcut? Why didn't you tell me? We were late because we thought that was the only way!"
"Nina, I didn't know you were going to be late! How was I supposed to know you were going to need the shortcut?"
I hated it when they fight like this. They used to all the time in high school. I hated it when anyone fought. I wished they would stop. "Shut up! I'm sick of all the fighting around here! Especially with you two! Now quit fighting and get us to my house!" I screamed. They looked at me and then started fighting again. I sighed.
It was going to be a long ride.
(Patricia's pov)
"Do you see Fabian's car?" I asked.
"Yeah, over... No." Alfie replied.
"We're lost!"
"No. Joy knows the way."
"Not from here." Joy said.
"We're lost!" I yelled again.
"Call Fabian!" Alfie exclaimed frantically as he pulled over.
"I don't have his number!"
"Then call Nina!"
I dialed Nina's number. "Neens, it's Patricia!"
"Hey, Patricia."
"We need help. Alfie got us lost and we have no idea how to get to Amber and Joy's."
"Why don't you just ask Joy?"
"We did, and she doesn't know."
"I'll tell Fabian. Where are you?"
"Where are we, Alfie!?"
"Near a place called Cupcake Heaven."
"Near Cupcake Heaven."
"Ok. Fabian, Patricia and the others are lost! They need you to find them. They're at Cupcake Heaven. Ok. Fabian says he'll be there as soon as he drops me and Amber off at her house. we only have like five minutes until we get there."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up. "They said Fabian would be here as soon as possible."
"What about-?"
"No questions!"
(Nina's pov)
"Fabian, Amber is dead." I said as I looked in the back seat.
"No, she's not."
"She's not moving."
"She's breathing."
"But-"
"She's just sleeping. Or at least pretending to be."
"Ok." We parked in Amber's driveway. Mara and Mick were waiting for us. I shook Amber.
"Wake up. We have to make up a story for Mara and Mick."
"Ok."
"Where were you guys?" Mara asked.
"Well, Fabian was at work, so Nina wanted to visit him. And I wanted to go with Nina. Alfie drove us there and then they went to Cupcake Heaven and now they're lost, so Fabian's going to go find them, and lead them here." Amber came up with a story incredibly fast.
Mara shrugged. "Ok."
