Fabian's POV
I thought about what Mick said, of course he was right. This isn't me, since when do I talk back to teachers and act all stupid. All I needed to do is get over her and Joy was so nice to me. I loved her before she disappeared and I still like her know, the thing is, whatever we had, well we don't seem to have it anymore.
"Hey Fabian, whatcha thinking 'bout?" said Joy smiling, I used to love that smile, it's so cute.
"I love your smile it's so... happy" I told her taking her hand
"Happy? What sort of description is that?" she said jokingly
I started to remember why I fell in love with her
Holly's POV
It was cold in the hotel room, the heating had broken a long time ago and nobody had bothered to fix it. The bed sheets were dirty and the floor was disgusting, how did she expect me to live here? Having said that, at least I'm alive, I thought I was dead for sure yesterday when she took me. That's what she wants everyone to think though now she's gone back. She locked me in this room and told them that her sister was grounded, this hotel is the sort that don't ask questions, even if you arrive dragging a girl, with your hand over the girls mouth.
All of a sudden the door opens a boy is pushed in and the door is closed then locked again. The boy has clearly been beaten as his face is bloody and bruised. He doesn't speak but only nods, acknowledging my presence; he sits of the floor and begins to gently hum its quite but mesmerising. A few seconds in I realise he is quietly singing:
... But darling
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
By now he's realised I'm staring at him and stops.
"Will" he says
"What did you say" I say confused
"Will, My names Will as In I Will" he says as I smile, he is really quite cute especially now he's smiling. He has brown hair and really dark brown, almost black eyes. He looked like a friend.
"Holly, as in like the prickly leaf" I say smiling, I see him looking at me as I step out of the darkness. The damp on the walls all over my top. I wonder what he was done to deserve being locked in this prison but decide to ask him later; he doesn't look too comfortable being in this room. Don't get me wrong, I get food and water but that's about it, finally being around another living being, one that is an actual human being and not one of the woodlice I found in the bed.
Nina's POV
We had drama yesterday and I think Fabian might be upset to say the least. Everyone hates me in that house, better for them I suppose, but I miss them all. I don't think Jerome really blackmailed Holly, Charlotte's fault I'm guessing. Amber probably still hates me, Patricia, Alfie and Jerome too. But most of all I think I hurt Fabian the most, not with the whole me saying I drugged them but the fact that he told me he loved me and I lied, I said it in the most mean way I could imagine.
My new house knows nothing about what I supposedly did, so they don't hate me, yet. Magen has been really nice, introducing me to the entire house, who seem nice but they're not Anubis. I am really slacking behind in work though; I have a detention afterschool with Mr Winkler. I am just so distracted, everything seems to be happening all at once and I really don't know how to deal with it.
Holly's POV
Its night now and Will has barely moved, he's just staring into space. Occasionally we talked but it was brief and for a couple seconds at a time before one of us ran out of things to say. It is so cold in here; I'm shivering and wishing I had worn something warmer when I was taken. The bed sheets had been removed so I couldn't even wrap myself in that. It must be about eleven o'clock now, but it's too cold to sleep and I'm not going to take my chances with the bed which seems to have various insects crawling around in it.
Suddenly, Will comes over to me and puts his jacket over me, he's also shivering she I put it over him as well; it doesn't really cover us so I move closer to him. I think it might be snowing outside, not that I can see as the windows had been boarded up and I was too cold to go and see. He puts his arm round me and tells me that talking should distract us. After a while he gets up and unpleasant draft comes hits my side where he was. He reappears with the shower curtain.
"It's not very thick, but its bigger enough, if we fold it in half, to cover both of us and its not mouldy or anything" he says sitting down beside me and putting the shower curtain over us "I think we should probably get some sleep now, it's pretty late"
We both lay down next to each other under the curtain, we were quite close and I kept accidently hitting him. I was still shivering when he put his arms around me and pulled me closer. He was nice and warm, he smelled of lynx so I put my head on his chest and began to try and sleep. Since we couldn't sleep he told me all about himself. He has a year younger sister and a mum and a dad, he went to a private school in Windsor. When I asked him why he was here, he shook his head and said we better get to sleep since it's only going to get colder.
The next morning, I woke up cuddling Will, he was still asleep so I tried to detach myself from him without waking him up and failed. When I tried to get me arm out from underneath him he moved and then woke up. I then noticed that same snow had got through a hole in the wall, so it had been snowing. As I pulled back the board on the window, I noticed to my horror that the snow was almost up to our room on the second floor, we were clearly snowed in and we would probably not be getting food today or tomorrow. Will got up sleepily and blocked the hole in the wall with some paper underneath the bed, and then he went over to me and kissed me on the head. It was only then did I remember Jake.
