The next day, I was just lazing around the house. Nathan was asleep in his room as he was very tired. I didn't know what to do. The house was really starting to turn out like a nightmare now. To add on to that, I didn't really know what Nathan and I were. I was starting to have feelings for him, and I wasn't sure if he felt the same. Sure he kissed me, but I'm sure he's kissed a lot of girls. It would have meant nothing to him.

I called Jay and asked him to pick me up. I needed to talk to him. I needed to have a nice conversation like how we used to have before.

Jay came by in half an hour and unlocked the door. I hopped into the car and we headed back to the city. We decided to get something at Starbucks and have a nice talk.

"How's everything inside the house?" Jay started the conversation.

"It's alright." I said as I sipped on my Frappuccino.

"Kiara, honestly! Tell me, do you like Nathan?" He asked concerned.

"Jay.." I began.

"No really! You can't do this to yourself if you like that guy!" He snapped.

"I don't know Jay! I don't know what it feels like to like a guy!! I've never like somebody before!" I had a little outburst. Jay pulled me into a warm hug as I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Nathan is a lad Kiara. He sure cares about you. But if you like him, give up this mission right now!" He said sternly.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because..." He hesitated to speak

"yeah?" I asked him to continue.

"Danny is going to kill him." He blurted. I couldn't help but to feel hurt at how Danny is so inconsiderate of my feelings.

"Danny's changed." I sighed sadly.

"This case has really brought out a new person in him." Jay commented.

"Why is this 'Harry Sykes' so important to him?" I inquired.

"I don't know. He never says anything."

"He keeps telling me that Mr Sykes has something to do with my kidnapping. But Nathan doesn't seem like such a lad.." I whispered.

"Danny is hiding something."

"What?" I questioned.

"I don't know. You should go back to the house. Nathan's going to doubt you." He said. I nodded and we headed out.

"I need your help Jay." I pleaded as he was driving.

"How?"

"I need to find out why Danny is being so weird! There's got to be something behind this. I'm scared it's something that is hurting him." I replied.

"I know. But how are you going to do this?" He asked.

"I don't know." I spoke softly as I thought of ways. Soon we reached the house and Jay followed me to the door. I opened it to see no signs of Nathan. Luckily he was still asleep when I checked upstairs. Jay hugged me and then left. Once again, I was left bored with absolutely nothing to do.

'we need a telly!" - Kiara xx" I messaged Jay.

'haha! already bored, are we? ;) - Jay xx'

'Yes! Get me a telly!! - K xx'

'I'll think about it - Jay x'

I sighed and through my phone onto the couch. I heard footsteps coming from upstairs, so I hid my phone into my pocket. A sleepy looking Nathan emerged in front of me. I smiled at him, which he returned.

"Morning." He greeted groggily.

"Morning." I smiled.

"How long have you been up?" He asked as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Few hours." I shrugged.

He came back in with a plate filled with food and munched on it. I was awkwardly sat there staring into air.

"I want to go back home." Nathan said sadly. I felt a little guilty for putting him in such a situation. I highly even doubted if he was involved in his father's evil jobs. He obviously didn't look like the guy who would do such things. Even though he does seem like a 'womanizer'. But when you get to know Nathan, he's a genuinely caring lad. Maybe I just judge people too quickly, but my feelings about Nathan had definitely changed.

"We'll get out of here!" I smiled weakly at him.

"I'm sorry I got you into all of this." He mumbled. I looked down and didn't reply because my insides were dying with all the guilt. I got up and walked into my room. I grabbed my phone and texted Siva to get me this evening. I wanted to talk to Danny and get us out of the place.

I needed to end this task. I was going to pull out. I could never hurt Nathan or watch him being so sad. It was for the best that I stayed away from him... I was going to leave and never come back...
