Amber heard whispers coming from outside their door. She quickly stood and turned on the lights not even thinking about Flynn who was staring out the window not moving her eyes at all. "Can't believe you got away with what?" Amber asks.

"What? No, nothing, nothing, nothing at all," Nina says before going straight to her bed.

"You've been sneaking about around with Fabian in the middle of the night; your heart's beating really fast and you think you've gotten away with something," Amber speaks before pausing. Then it hit her, "Oh! You were having a secret Date!"

"No. Not exactly..." Nina responds.

"This is so exciting. You, me, Mick, Fabian. Double-dates. I can see it already." She says now sitting on Nina's bed with her.

"No! No-one, you tell absolutely no-one, promise?" Nina says.

"Oh, I get it. Secret love. So romantic. Your secret is safe with me," She says before going to her own bed.

"Flynn are you alright?" Nina questioned worriedly for the girl. But when she didn't respond Nina assumed she had fallen asleep in her odd position. 

It was now the following morning, Flynn still hadn't moved let alone spoken a word since last night. Amber and Nina got dressed, Nina sat next to Flynn, "Are you okay?" she asks the girl. Flynn just nods her head quietly not moving her eyes from the window. "Amber and I are going downstairs to breakfast," Nina says before standing and going with Amber downstairs. 

Amber and Flynn had never been the closest so Amber thought that this may be normal.

Amber and Nina both walked into the dining room to find most of the other housemates sitting at the table enjoying breakfast. Jerome looked up as the two girls walked in, he noticed that Flynn was not with them. Which made him slightly worried. Once everyone was seated and almost finished with breakfast Jerome turned to Amber and Nina, "Flynn not feeling well today?" he asks.

"Not sure," Amber says before she takes a sip of her juice. "She was really quiet this morning," she says as if that was something normal.

Jerome however had a feeling about what had caused her quiet morning. He kept quiet as he grabbed a slice of toast and made a cup of tea just the way Flynn liked it. He then made his way up the stairs and to her room. The door was cracked open and he could see her from the hallway. "Hey," he says quietly walking in and going to her bed. Flynn didn't so much as move. Jerome set the cup of tea and toast on the side table and scooted closer to her, he placed his hand on her knee. "Flynn," he said rubbing small circles on her knee.

The girl swallowed hard and moved her hand from holding herself to set it on his hand, Jerome put his hand on top of hers and continued rubbing small circles on her hand. "Focus on my voice, feel the sheets below your feet,"

A short ten minutes later Flynn looked at Jerome with tears in her eyes, "It happened again," she says simply.

Jerome took a breath and felt pure sorrow for the girl, "I'm sorry," He says.
