Disclaimer: I don't own Private Kate Brian does!!!!!

Ok I left off with a major cliffhanger and I tried to update sooner but I was too busy catching up on work with school and stuff so sorry but I will make this one a good update and I promise no cliffhangers (in this chapter).

"Reed…REED…REED COME HERE!!!" I heard the shrieks of Noelle. I just glanced at Josh who was still irritated but we both ran as quickly as possible.

When I arrived I was shocked by what I saw.

"AHHHHHHH!" I shrieked. At least I think it was me, I could have been Noelle too.

"Oh my god. What was he thinking?" I heard Josh say before I went and picked up the piece of paper Noelle was holding. I had to be careful of the broken glass from the window hat Dash had jumped out of.

I couldn't believe Dash would do that. I had only left him about a half hour or forty-five minutes ago. The note had read:

Dear Noelle,

I love you but I still can not tell you that I don't feel the same about Reed. However I know she loves me, but only as a brother and I feel I ruined that. Let me say to Josh that I feel like a jerk and an idiot. How could Reed not love you? I am so sorry and I hope you can forgive me. Noelle I am sorry but I feel that I really screwed up big time so goodbye and remember that I loved you.

Love Dash.

He had written a suicide note. I couldn't believe. I heard the sirens coming but I decided to go look out the window. Dash had dropped from the second floor. But the house was also up a little higher than other houses. He looked hurt but maybe not dead. I went to look out the window when I saw another piece of paper. It looked like he only wanted certain people to find it.

"Noelle, come here" I said. I still had tears coming out of my eyes. I think I even saw a few tears out of Josh. He walked over too. I opened this paper and was shocked by what I found.

It was AO.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Josh asked.

"I don't know but I think it was Dash trying to tell us that if he dies it wasn't a suicide." I said.

Noelle started getting hysterical again and I tried to comfort her.

"But if that is true, how would none of us have noticed Ariana coming into the house?" Noelle asked.

"Maybe she didn't break in while we were here. Maybe she was already here." I said.

Someone from the paramedics had come up by now.

"Hey miss, your friend will be ok but he is hurt pretty badly." The man said.

"Noelle broke down crying again but worse this time. It was almost as if she felt it was all her fault. I highly doubted it could be. She did just lose the love of her life.

"Miss, your friend is being escorted to the hospital as we speak would you like to come down and wait?" The man asked.

"Yeah we would. This has been difficult for all of us." I answered for Noelle before she could speak. The man nodded and left. Before long Noelle and I were both on the floor in tears and Josh was pacing back and forth. I think that he thought it was his fault.

"Guy's we should head down to the hospital. Dash needs us there." I managed to say.

"You're right, let's go." Josh said. Noelle's car was out front and I sat with her in that back trying to comfort her and Josh drove.

"This is all, my fault." Noelle started to say.

"Noelle how could you even say that. It isn't your fault at all. If anyone it's mine. I should have been nicer about it." I said.

"No it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so hard on he man." Josh said.

"No, it is really my fault. Dash came up about five minutes after you guys. He wanted to talk and I started to yell at him. I told him off and he tried to explain something to me. I told him to get out of my life and stay out and then slammed the door in his face. I saw him crying and he was sincere but if I hadn't done that he wouldn't have been attacked by your stupid stalker." Noelle cried out.

"It is all, my fault. I am just a hurricane like Poppy said. I bring nothing but trouble. I said starting to get really upset.

"Reed, I didn't mean it like that. This person is obviously crazy and jealous and well has something wrong with them." Noelle said.

"Yeah Reed, this isn't anyone's fault remember. Our fake Ariana did this." Josh said.

"You guys are right. Let's focus on making Dash feel better. He has some explaining o do and I think that he has real explanations." I said.

Just then my phone rang. It was Kiran, probably calling to say goodbye because we were supposed to leave tomorrow but not anymore.

"Hello," I answered.

"Hey Reed, what's up?" She asked.

"Um Kiran, call Taylor and everyone else and tell them that they need to get to the hospital a.s.a.p." I said.

"Oh no, who is in there now?" Kiran asked and it sounded like she was already getting ready.

"Dash, he was either pushed or jumped out of the window and is hurt badly. He left a suicide note, but also a note that says AO did this." I said.

"Oh my god, I will be right there with Sawyer, Taylor, and Scott. I will call Constance for you too." She said and then hung up. We then pulled into the hospital.

"Is she coming?" Noelle asked.

"Yeah she said she would be right here with everyone." I said.

"That's good." Noelle said and I could tell she was stalling.

"Well let's get inside." Josh said. As we entered the building I recognized a familiar scent, the scent of a hospital and of injuries and even deaths. I remember it from when I was admitted to when Ivy was shot and Josh told me he needed to stay with her. They were good and bad memories. I recognized the room we waited on as the one I saw my friends wait in.

"What room is a boy recently admitted by the name of Dash McCafferty?" Josh asked someone at the front desk.

"Room…" The person said as I zoned out and saw Dash being pushed into a familiar room, the room that I stayed in when I was here.

"That is either a cruel joke or the world is really ironic." I said.

"It has to be a cruel joke." Josh said.

"I can't believe they put him in that room." Noelle said.

"Hello I assume you are the group for the young boy Dash." A doctor came up to us and said.

"Yeah we are. I am Noelle, his girlfriend. This is Josh and Reed some of his best friends." Noelle said. She was getting sentences out again which is good.

"Ok then. Your friend is hurt pretty badly. He took some fall. Rest assured he will be ok. There shouldn't be any surgeries just healing and medicine. I have a feeling that he will be better and ready to leave in two or three weeks. He hasn't woken up yet but you can go see him after some questioning." He said.

"Questioning, what kind of questioning?" I asked.

"Well typically boys of his age and well good looks don't just 'fall' out of a window." He said.

"Wait you think we did something?" Noelle practically screamed.

"Not exactly but we do have some cops on the case." He said.

"Ok, we have some visitors that should be coming in. If anyone by the name of Kiran comes in it is for him. Where should we meet the police?" I asked.

"In the conference room right over there," The doctor said pointing to a small room.

As we entered to conference room I saw a familiar face.

"Hello Reed, long time, no see." Detective Hauer joked. We had known each other for a while now. He was the detective on Thomas's case and on my first stalker.

"Detective, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well when I heard about your incident I was a little suspicious and since I know a bit about you I figured I would come down here and help. So what is going on with Dash?" He asked.

"Well weird things have been happening. It started today when I read strange emails from him professing his love to me which was weird. He had been acting abnormal all day. Not like himself. After he tried to kiss me I walked away and well Josh punched him but that was the last we saw him." I said.

"Why did you punch him Mr. Hollis?" Detective Hauer asked.

"Well, he was trying to kiss my girlfriend for the second time that day." He said plain and simple.

"Ok, Miss. Lange when did you last see him?" He asked next.

"Well we got into a little fight about fifteen minutes or so before I found him. I slammed the door in his ace and was really upset. I went to go apologize when I heard a crash. I ran out and saw broken glass and found a note." She said.

"What kind of note?" He asked.

"A suicide note," She replied.

"Ok anything else." He asked.

"Well she called me down and I saw and read the note. I went and looked out the window and found another note but a more secretive one. He didn't want someone to see. It said: It was AO. That is who we believe is my stalker. If you remember Taylor Bell she was threatened by AO. Leanne Shore was also killed buy her too." I said.

"By AO, do you mean Ariana Osgood?" Detective Hauer asked.

"That is the weird part. No…" I started, and then I finished telling him the story of how things went amiss before and after the boat incident and what Constance and Sawyer knew. He asked a few more questions and we were free to go. He said that he would leave us alone unless something came up but he would keep and eye out for something suspicious.

When we returned to the waiting area Constance, Trey, Astrid, Whit, Sawyer, Kiran, Taylor, and Scott were all there waiting.

"What happened?" Kiran asked.

"AO happened." I answered.

"Oh my god, she is relentless." Kiran said.

"I am going to go wait for him to wake up." Noelle said and went to enter Dash's room.

"I am so tired and I can't believe this happened." I said.

"It's ok Reed. Things are going to get better." Taylor said. I loved the sound of those words. I just wish they could be true and they can't. I have always tried to believe those words but it never works. I wish things could just be ok. I wish things really were going to get better but I had a feeling things had only begun.

Did you like this Chapter?

Who do you think the Stalker is?

Do you think that AO could stand for something other than Ariana Osgood?

Do you think the stalker is really just Ariana in disguise pretending to be in disguise?

Tell me your thoughts and when I get five reviews I will update.

Until then!
