SONG FOR THIS CHAPTER- FOUR FIVE SECONDS by RIHANNA ft. KANYE WEST & PAUL MCCARTNEY

Caroline's POV

Last night seems to all be a blur to me. Sitting up in bed, I look in front of me at the rays of light reflecting on my bedsheets. I stretch remaining seated, squinting my eyes wondering how I got back to my room.

The last thing I remember before blanking out is running. Suddenly, a throbbing pain sharply makes its way into my head. Hangover.

I slowly get out of bed and walk over to my dresser. Yanking open the top shelf, I withdraw a small Advil bottle. I take out two pills and clutch them as I sip the cold water on my nightstand. I then pop the pills in my mouth and swallow them down.

Words can't explain how betrayed I feel. Laura isn't really a friend to me, she called me a 'rich ass' and is with Luke. Harry...how could he let Luke drug me and kiss me? He knows I hate Luke to my guts! How could he...

I guess Harry doesn't really care about me. The proof is in how he ditched me at the nightclub.

I still don't know I got back to the castle though...it's odd but I'm still thankful. My heart freezes. Do my mother and father know I was wasted last night?

"Where the fuck were you last night?!" I hear Zayn's voice sharply hiss and I turn around to see him come closer to me. He's beyond pissed.

"Um, after Harry's surprise, I wanted to hit the clubs so he took me." I say straight up and massage my pounding temples.

"What? Well it's a good thing I got your back last night. Your parents were wondering where you were." Zayn says coldly and I tilt my head at him.

"Why? What did you say?" I question him and he sighs.

"I told them you were having a late night 'girls night' with my sisters." He says and I immediately hug him.

"Oh thank you!" I say. This is why Zayn is my best friend; he can tell lies so well. Zayn's face pales as he pulls away from me.

"Uh, I don't know how you're going to take this, but I have bad news." He announces, a bit teary and sad and I widen my eyes. Is it anything about Harry?

"What is it?" I choke out, avoiding the large lump in my throat. My hands go numb as they rest on Zayn's shoulders. He doesn't answer me so I shake his shoulders. He's still unresponsive as he avoids my eye contact. "Tell me!"

"I don't know..." He hesitates quietly.

"It's okay just-"

"LAURA IS DEAD, OKAY?" He cries out and starts to sob. My jaw drops and I put my hand to my mouth, holding in the wail at the back of my throat.

"What? What happened?" I stammer as tears gush out of my eyes. Even though she was badmouthing me, I still thought of her as a friend. She was always there to listen...even though I was only seeing one of her two faces.

Zayn's wipes his red eyes. "Her body was found behind the Escald Pub at around five in the morning. She was taking drugs before so she went into cardiac arrest after some type of gang fight."

I have nothing to say. To think that I saw Laura for the final time last night saddens me. But what caused the gang fight. Wait...

Did Luke do anything to her?
