Not as long as I thought it would be. (I'll do an extra extra long chapter to make up for it) When I write it seems a longer than it really is. I can't believe I have written four chapters, and I started writing this YESTERDAY! I am seriously excited right now. I never work this hard...Seriously. I should be doing my homework right now, but I'm writing thsi instead. What am I going to say to my teacher?

Anyway, I worked hard on this chapter. You have no idea how many times I've erased the chapter and started again. I get confused sometimes. Near is in this chapter a little more. I mean the only thing he said last time was 'yes'. Don't get me wrong, I really like Near, but getting his personality is difficult. So, I apoligize if he's a little OOC.

I'm rambling again. ;_; Hope you enjoy this chapter. Next one will be up soon. (Hopefully)

The next morning, I woke up on the long sofa.

I stretched my arms out and yawned. I rolled over, and picked my phone up. "Oh yeah, the battery's dead." I groaned and dropped my phone. It landed on the floor, bounced of the carpet slightly then landed.

I rubbed my forehead and looked at the clock. It was 9am.

"Why am I waking up so early on a Saturday?" I muttered. I got up on my feet and walked over to my school bag. I crouched down and opened my bag. My diary was in the secret pocket at the back. I grabbed the diary and a pen, closed the bag and walked back to the sofa.

I flicked through the diary entries and stopped at a clean page.

Dear Diary,

My phones dead. I don't have any spare clothes, and I'm awake at 9am on a Saturday. I have no excuse to tell my mother. Today, Matt and Mello are taking me back to my house so I can bring spare clothes, and break the news to my mother. What will I say?

What can I say?

'My favourite anime character kidnapped me and brought me to a hotel with more anime characters.'

That will never work. I'm sure I'll think of something. - Grace.

I closed the diary and put the pen and the notebook back into my school bag.

"You're up early."

"Near...You scared me." I said.

He walked over to me. He twirled some of his white hair in his fingers and said. "Why are you up at this time?"

"I should ask you the same thing."

"I have to share a room with Mello and Matt." he sighed. "Matt snores a lot."

I chuckled. "So, if you, Mello and Matt have a room together. That would mean that Light and L share a room. That must be awkward."

"Apparently, L doesn't sleep much."

"So, L just watches Light sleep?" I imagined L stacking sweets or something on Light as he slept.

Near shrugged his shoulders. "So, why are you up?"

"Can't sleep, I guess."

"Consider yourself lucky. At least you don't have a loud snorer or someone that watches you sleep, in the same room as you."

I chuckled.

"You should try and get as much sleep as possible. If you're a detective, you generally don't sleep at all." he said.

I nodded. "I know. Well, I'm going to try and get more sleep. I'll see you in a few hour-"

Suddenly a very loud alarm went off.

"Son of a-" Then a very large thud.

"What the hell was that?" I asked.

"Matt must have left his alarm on from yesterday." Near said, a smile spread across his face.

"Damn it! I left my alarm on!" Matt yelled. Then, I heard a very loud thud.

I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "There's no point in going back to sleep, is there?"

Near shook his head, walked to the table, picked up a pox of puzzle pieces, emptied it on the table and started to fix them together.

Then, it hit me. "I have another phone." I exclaimed suddenly, making Near jump.

I ran over to my bag. "I had another phone just in case. My mum worries about me too much." I muttered, reaching into my bag and searched for it.

Just as I pulled it out of my bag, it started to ring.

"Ellie?" I muttered, pressing the phone against my ear.

"Hey, Grace! Listen, do you want to come over my place in a few minutes or so. I can drop by your place to pick you up."

"I'm not at home."

"Oh, then, where are you?"

"At a hotel."

"Really? With someone?"

"Yeah, a few guys...Listen-"

"Guys? Grace, did something happen? If something did, you'd tell me, right? And I mean, all the details."

"No, it's not like that! You sick minded freak! Their just friends."

"Oh...Okay, so, I'm guessing that's a no on my offer then?"

"Listen, my other phone is dead and I-"

"So that's why you didn't pick up."

"Yeah, listen, my phone's dead and I'm forced to use this one. But I don't have my mums new number on this phone, do you have it?"

"Sorry, Grace. But, I don't have it. Personally, I think it would be kind of creepy if I had your-"

I hung up and threw the phone in my bag. "Damn it." I muttered.

"I thought you were going to your house today anyway. Why do you care about calling her now?" Near asked.

"Get it over and done with." I muttered.

I buried my face into my hand and fell to the ground, laying on my back.

I heard a door open and then footsteps walk towards me. I didn't move.

"Did Grace fall asleep like that?" I heard Light ask.

I shook my head. "No." My hands went to my sides again. "What am I going to do?" I asked.

"About what?"

I explained my problem to him, but he shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the sofa.

Then, an idea popped into my head.

Dear Diary,

I have an idea! I'm going to go to my house, go to the garden, climb up to my room, open the window climb in, grab what I need, leave a note for mum on my dresser, then we can come back here. Then I don't have to tell her directly. It's perfect.

Boy, was I wrong.

Is it strange that I write better when listening to good music. I wasn't listening to any this chapter. So, sorry that it's short and not as good as the others.

I'm thinking of bringing in a little romance too, any suggestions?

Next chapter will be up soon.
