Eddie's POV:

I get out of the cab as my dad pays the cab driver. I feel so guilty that Nina isn't coming back and I'm the only one that knows. She said the Chosen One and Osirian can't be together or bad things happen. Nina wanted to be the one to stay back and not me. She also gave me her locket that I have in my pocket. Anyways, the cab drives off and I'm stuck with dad. Not that it's a bad thing. I just think he'll actually he expecting good behavior this year. Um, I saved Nina and the world from a killer ghost and lunatic. I'm pretty sure that's awesome behavior!

"Okay, Edison. I want to see some good behavior this term. That means no snooping or spying." Dad says. See?!

"Snooping and spying helped me save the world." I point out.

"Just please." Then he walks away.

"Call me Eddie and I'll consider it!" I shout at him.

"Hey, Eddie!"

"AH!" I jump and turn around to see Fabian. Uh oh.

"Fabian! Hey, roomie!" We bro hug and spot Jerome and Mara hugging.

"Ugh! No PDA please, Jerry." I say as Fabian and I walk over to them.

"Says the guy in a relationship!" Mara says. Not any more!

"Yeah, about that-"

"Hey, guys!"

I turn around and see Alfie running towards us.

"Hey, Alfredo!" Jerome says.

"I told you not to call me that!" Alfie whines.

"Sorry...Alfredo."

He rolls his eyes. "Hey, Eddie, did you see Nina at the airport?"

Darn it! I was hoping to avoid the subject.

"Uh...no. She probably got a later flight or early flight." I lied. Luckily they bought it.

"Come on! I want Trudy's buttermilk cookies." Alfie exclaims before he bolts towards the house.

Jerome, Mara, Fabian, and I laugh and follow him.

We walk into the house. Alfie puts his suitcase down.

"Cookies!" And he runs off.

"Honey, I'm home!" I exclaim.

Then Joy and Amber appear at the top of the stairs. "Eek!"

They run down and we all greet each other. Alfie comes back eating a cookie, no duh.

"Alfie!" Amber says.

"Aw, baby!" He picks her up and spins her around.

"All my lovelies, home again." Trudy walks into the foyer.

"Trudy!"

We all hug her until Fabian asks "Trudy, is Nina here yet?"

I can't take the guilt so I sneak to my room with my stuff as everyone chats. I unpack and put Nina's locket at the bottom of the drawer. I sigh. If only she was here, then everything would be complete.
