Chapter 16 - Make ups and eyes

Nina's POV

I stared at my clothes. I was down in my other closet. Looking at all my outfits, ones I've worn and ones that are still brand new. I've had a lot of time to think, because A. No one knows about my other closet and Jen wouldn't look here and B. Like they would come after me. My thoughts led to one thing. Going home. After the show, literally everyone will know about me and Jen. I don't want to be one of those girls who has so many friends but just goes they want something from her. I opened my cell and found 15 new messages and 5 missed calls. 2 calls and 5 messages from Eddie, 2 call and 3 texts from Jen, 1 call and 2 texts from Fabian and 2 texts from Amber. I deleted them all and called Gran.

"Hello? Gran? It's Nines" I called into the phone.

"Nina, how are you? Are you alright?" Gran knew me so well.

"Gran, I'm fine. I wanted to see if I could come home after the show?" I replied nervously.

"It's fine Nines. But why? You seemed so happy the other day."

"Can I explain when I get home. It doesn't seem right to talk over the phone. Also are you coming over for the show?"

"Of course Nina, I wouldn't miss it. Charlotte wants me. Bye sweetie."

"Bye" I ended the call. Charlotte is my Gran's caretaker. Since her old age, she acted like a baby so we treated her like one. It was extremely hard work, believe me. I figured that I should make an appearance. So carefully opening the trap door, making sure no one was in the bedroom and I stepped out. I slowly walked down the stairs hoping nobody was in the house. I stepped into the room, turned on the TV and sat on a couch. I then watched a re-run of EastEnders. Now this was drama! I was so caught up in the plot that I didn't hear the huge oak door open and close, feet tapping there way to the lounge until I heard a scream from the door.

"NINA! Your alive!" Amber screamed. I guess I was missed. She wrapped me up in a snake hug and squeezed me hard. When she let go, Eddie and Jen were standing looking extremely uncomfortable. I placed my hands on my hips and stared at them. None of the two met my eyes. Until, Jen tilted her head so I could see her emerald eyes. That's when I knew she was sorry. I gave a small smile and hugged her. She hugged back. Jen knew my way with eyes but I could still say that she is truly sorry. We parted and both Amber and Eddie were giving us strange looks, Eddie still not daring to look at me. I sighed and walked out. Some people just never learn. But in a way, I couldn't really blame him. He did think it was part of the original plan. So, he should look at me and not feel guilty. Guess he was then.
