Nina's POV
I opened my eyes to reveal Fabian's handsome face, staring down at me lovingly. "Hello there, beautiful," he said, "It's Sunday," I grumbled and went back to sleep with my head on his chest and my arm around his waist.
He let me be for a minute or two while stroking my hair.
"C'mon," he forced me up, "Nevertheless, Trudy will still be serving breakfast, you don't want to miss the most important meal of the day." I groaned but did as he said. Fabian stood up and offer me his hand, I took it gladly and stretched. I straightened the wrinkles on my tank and put on my jacket. Fabian got his clothes. Together, we made our way into the hall.
Fabian's POV
Thankfully, everyone was already at the dining room, so they won't see Nina coming out of my room. If they ask, I'll say I met her at the stairs. Simple.
"Nina!" We haven't even made it to the dining table when Trudy called out to us. "Nina, your Gran's on the phone- I mean, her doctor's on the phone, she's at the hospital," Trudy finished.
Nina flashed a worried glance at me, and quickly rushed towards the phone. "H-Hello?" I heard her talked to whoever was on the line, "Yes, I'm Nina Martin," Not long, I saw a tear down her cheeks. She ended the call without saying a thing. The tear had now turned into sobs. I hugged her and she clung onto my shirt.
"She-" Nina managed between sobs, "Gran.. She-" Nina didn't have to finish her sentence, I know what was going on. "Sssssshhh…" I tried to calm her down. "It's alright, I gotcha," I ran my hands up and down her back soothingly, "I gotcha,"
Joy's POV
By now, everyone had gathered at the common room. They all felt sorry for Nina. Except me. I'm not sorry at all for the American, was I? I mean, Nina stole my boyfriend to-be.
"Drama queen," I mumbled.
"Excuse me?" I didn't notice Trudy standing beside me! Did she heard what I said?
"Um.. Poor Nina.." I managed. Trudy stared at me for a while, unsure, but she left me with that and went back to Nina who was safely in Fabian's arms on the couch.
Fabian's POV
I held her tight, not letting go. Nina buried her face in my neck, crying heavier by the minute. I scooped up her legs and rocked her gently, to and fro. I imagined myself on her situation and it's just too much for Nina to bear.
Each of the Anubis members tried to comfort Nina, but what else could they do? Someone you love just died and all you want is to be left alone. So, they eventually went back to what they were doing, though silent since mourning was still high in the air.
Trudy remained, I, myself hadn't move anywhere away from Nina.
"Nina, darling," said Trudy softly when Nina's sobs started to slow down. "Would you like it if I arrange a flight back to America for you this afternoon, sweetie?"
For a moment there, I froze. I don't want to loose Nina! Then again, I know she needs to see to her Gran's body.
Nina sniffled then said, "Th-that will be great, Tr-Trudy," "Then let me booked you a flight," Trudy smiled and walked away, but Nina quickly gestured her hand for Trudy to stop. "Yes dear?" Trudy asked, "Please also booked a flight back here to England," Trudy nodded at Nina's wish, "Maybe three days from now?" Trudy asked again. This time it was Nina who nodded, and mouthed the word thank you.
Just when Trudy left, amber came with two plates of bread with jam. "Nina," she said sweetly, "You have to eat first, otherwise you won't be fit to travel!" Nina hesitated at first, but then took the plate from Amber, knowing that there's no point in arguing with Amber, "Thanks,"
Amber replied a smile and handed the other plate to me, "You also need to eat," I opened my mouth to object, "Eh!," Amber stopped me with a glare and so I just eat the bread.
The afternoon came and Nina was packed. The taxi gave a honk, she's ready to go. Everyone had said their farewell, that leaves me.
Nina stood in front of the open door, the setting sun shone on her hair making her look like an angel. I tucked a loose strand behind her ear and clasp her cheek, "Take care," I leaned in and kissed her devotedly. "I'll miss you," She said while holding my hand on her cheek.
For a moment, we gazed at each other's eyes until she slowly backed away.
I saw the cab pulled away from the driveway, and disappeared into the distance.
Sorry if this chapter may be a bit slow, but I promise you the following chapters will be worth the wait ;) Once again, VOTE FOR THE POLL! Thank youuuuuuuu =]
