The other Berman// Nick Goode

Chapter 9

Me and Ziggy ran through the woods of camp, looking back to see if Tommy were close and I ran into someone, nearly screaming until I noticed it was Nick

'Oh thank god" I whispered while he held me

"What are you doing out here?" He scolded us but calmed down as soon as he saw me panicking

"He's here, he's here" Ziggy explained to him while I was muttering to myself, trying to calm down

"Come on" he said while pulling us to the science and nature cabin, Nick shutting the door behind him behind him as Ziggy dragged me to the back of the room, holding me while I was still trying to calm myself down as tears finally fell down my face as Nick joined us. Nick looked at me, worried as I was officially loosing my cool

"Did we loose him?" Ziggy asked him, both of them focused on me

"I think so" He said answering her and then saw the blood on my shirt and the bruise on my cheek from Sheila so then he lifted me out of Ziggy's arms to look at him

"Are you ok? Are you hurt?" He asked, combing my hair back with his fingers while I looked down, noticing why he was so worried but also noticed that he had blood on his shirt also

"It's not my blood, it's Gary's, yours?" I asked, hoping that it wasn't his

"In, Sean, Jessie, Ron and Stacie" he said and I noticed one thing in common with all the kids and so did Ziggy

"Shadysiders, it's the curse" I said, looking at Ziggy who nodded agreeing

"No it's just some psycho" nick said, trying to make us believe him

"No it's not some psycho" nick said trying to get him to listen

"It's Tommy, our sisters perfect virgin boring boyfriend Tommy, she did this" Ziggy explained to him but he still wasn't getting it

"Cindy?" He asked confused but then I shook my head

"The witch, Sarah Fier" I said, looking at him

"Lizzy that's not real" he tried to argue but I just got angry with him because I thought he wasn't like the others

"That's exactly what a sunnyvaler would say" Ziggy argued angrily exile I moved towards her, feeling slightly betrayed

" thought you were different" I mumbled loud enough so he could hear me but then a bell started ringing which made me confused

"They're getting on the bus, Hey we have to go right now ok?" He said while grabbing my arm

"No my sister, she's still out there" I argued, trying to get my arm out of his grasp

"Lizzy I know I've let a lot of people, die tonight" he started while holding my face and I grabbed one of his hands and looked at him

"Nick that isn't your fault" I argued back as it wasn't and I didn't understand why he was staying this

"But not you, I'm not letting you die because uh yeah, I do like the witch from shadyside and I was thinking that once we get out of here, we could maybe start either a book club or go on a date or even both? Maybe uh I don't know Stephen king's new book supposed to be good I hear" he ranted while I looked at him, smiling
