Jerome POV
Planning the party of the year, Victors going to be gone and Trudy's visiting her sister and it seems that nobody will be looking after us for that weekend. Perfect. My cousins been bringing in alcohol all week, not much just enough to have a good party, we're inviting kids from other houses but not too many since it'll get suspicious if too many people are missing. Me and Alfie are going all out on this one, we got a huge stereo from one of the other houses and made a massive playlist on my iPod of cool songs.
Nina's POV
"That pen I found, well I was looking at it when I accidently pressed the nib down and it broke in half and there was a bit of paper inside. I think it might have been a clue or something:"
"If the truth was ever easy then it wouldn't be a secret
You might like everyone else but you hate the one who keeps it"
Holly's clue
"See Holly, you need to help me I think Charlotte has it" I tell her even though the look on her face tells me she's deeply thinking.
"No, it's not Charlotte" She says running off, why can't she just say what she's thinking rather than leave everyone guessing.
I tell Fabian and he has no idea what she means, who else does Holly hate more than Charlotte. Then it hits me, she's pregnant with Wills baby, She thinks Jake hates her now, she thinks it her fault Charlotte is a few houses away probably plotting her revenge. She hates herself.
I find her crying in our room, she has her diary open and the last page is wet with Holly's tears. It says unless she helps Charlotte everyone she cares about will die including Jake. If we didn't know how serious the situation was at this point, well this page certainly put things into perspective especially as Holly confessed something to me.
"Charlotte, she isn't the one who's doing all this" She whispers "she's bad but she's not evil and she's not our biggest problem"
"Holly, who's behind this then" I ask her as I see her eyes begin to close, I lightly slap her to get her to wake but she doesn't she just lays there on the floor lifeless and unconscious. I call Trudy and she calls 999. I see her being carried away in a stretcher. None of us are safe.
Fabian's POV
When Holly was gone I checked her room, seems too suspicious that she suddenly went unconscious. Her room seems fine, her laptop is open though and a tap has been closed. Oh my gosh, the webpage she was looking at. I need to tell Nina as soon as possible.
As I go down the corridor I see Joy, she smiles and tell me that Nina told her to tell me something, in private. It seems a little unlikely, Nina trusting Joy but I suppose she could of changed. Then she kisses me and I, well I didn't exactly stop it, I mean Nina's been ignoring me recently and all she seems to care about is this stupid mystery. That reminds me, I need to go and find her so I push Joy away and turn around to see Nina. I try to explain but she runs off crying. Shit.
Jake's POV
Come back to the house to see everyone talking and then suddenly stop when they see me.
"Um hey guys, where's Holly?"
They tell me the news and I try, and fail, to be allowed to go see her. So I go anyway. She's still unconscious and still hooked up to a load of machines but the nurses say she's improving and just need rest.
"Lucky to be alive mind you, we're not sure what she took but it seems to have had a bad effect on her nervous system" a kind nurse who actually seemed to care
"What do you mean? Is the baby okay?" I ask getting more worried with every word the nurse said
"Ahh, see the thing is when she took the, we are presuming, pills the baby was one of the first things affected so um... we are not going to tell her until she's perfectly well and can deal with the consequences" she said
Nina's POV
Oh, how about a round of applause?
Yeah, standing ovation? Ooh, oh yeah
Yeah y-yeah yeah
You look dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologise
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
And baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now it's time to go, curtains finally closing
That's was quite a show, very entertaining
But it's over now
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow
"Nina turn off the music, Joy practically threw herself at him, it wasn't his fault" Amber said as she turned off the music
"Yeah well he didn't stop her did he" I say
"All I'm saying is hear Fabian's side of the story first" she says sitting down on her bed and getting out her phone.
I decide to go and see Fabian, Amber probably right after all. He's sitting on his bed when I come in. When he sees me he says me he has to tell me something. He tells me it's really important. Then he brings out Holly's laptop and opens up the screen. On the screen is a website for a natural abortion.
I'm so shocked I gasp, but really it all makes sense now. She never wanted that baby, she never liked Will and she seemed so upset when I saw her in her room. I don't know how much she remembers from before but what happened to her there, it would scar any person.
Fabian seems to be looking at the last page of the diary.
If you help us everyone you love will remain unharmed
But refuse us and we will come for them armed
Fabians clue
"That wasn't there before, it was just a diary entry before" I say as Fabian looks confused
Fabians starts to get up, and I know what he is thinking.
"Fabian, don't she can't harm any of us" I say trying to convince him not to go
"Nina, she's not messing about, I think she's serious" he says
"About that, before she collapsed she told me it wasn't Charlotte behind all this, it was someone else"
"Did she tell you who?"
"No she just about managed it before collapsing"
