A little while later everyone was still miserable. Apart from one boy. He sat in his room with cello tape and various bits of ripped paper. He was trying to piece the article back together. Luckily Rick hadn't torn it two badly. Only into 5 or 6 pieces. He just had to make sure it was readable.
Carmen and Electra were both sat on Electra's bed cackling like witches. Well they might as well of been witches. That's how evil they were. "Finally, they've broken up!" Carmen said, laughing. "Um, do you actually know they have?" Electra asked, giggling slightly. "Well urrr no but did you see them fighting, if that's not breaking up I don't know what is?" Electra nodded.
Carmen went to see how Rick was. She thought this would be the right time to make him hers. Electra stayed in her room while Carmen went to find him. He was in his room. Face down on his pillow and you could hear him sniffing. Carmen sat down on his bed and gently stroked his hair. He sat up. His eyes were bright red. It was obvious he had been crying.
Meanwhile, Erin was sobbing against the door of her room. Tears of anger, hatred and sadness poured down her face. Sadness because she'd probably gone and lost the first person that actually cared about her, anger for whoever put the article in the garden, it was obvious it had been put there purposely, and hatred for herself. She could of just told Rick the truth. Why did she have to be so stupid all the time? If she'd have only told Rick the whole truth and nothing but that this probably wouldn't have happened. Well not probably. It wouldn't have happened.
On the other side of the wall a very angry Frank listened to Erin's tears. This was all his fault. He was angry at Carmen and Electra and himself. He should've asked what was on that paper before he agreed to do anything. He felt so guilty it was unbelievable. He had to go cheer Erin up. Obviously he couldn't tell her hat Electra made him do or he'd be murdered but he could try and help. It was the least he could do.
Erin jumped when she heard a knock on her door. She thought it was Rick so she prepared to tell him the truth. It was Frank. "I'm sorry," was all he could say and then he engulfed her in a warm hug. Erin wasn't the closest with Frank but they were still good mates and his hug was comforting. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel a little better?" Frank asked. Erin shook her head, "Probably not, don't waste your time Frank," she said, smiling at him.
"I like wasting my time," Frank said laughing. Erin laughed too. Despite being so miserable Frank was probably one of the only people that could make her laugh when she was that sad. Don't get the wrong idea; she didn't want to replace Rick in any way shape or form. Frank was more like a brother to her. The big brother she never had.
"You should go explain to him," Frank said finally, "I haven't read the article but I bet there's more to it than meets the eye," Frank said truthfully. Erin nodded. "Thanks Frank, you really do know how to cheer people up," She said, hugging him again. She jumped up and left the room. Frank smiled to himself, satisfied; he had finally cheered Erin up and hopefully made it better. Little did he know telling Erin to go see Rick was probably the worst thing she could do…
