When MG opened the laptop a folder popped up. It was called the new world. He clicked it and a bunch of numbers showed up.

"What is it?" Maggie asked.

"I think it's some kind of code," MG answered.

"Can you crack it?" Hope asked

"Yeah but it will take some time," MG responded.

"Hopefully not much considering it's happening today" Maggie told them.

"What do you mean today, isn't it tomorrow?" Hope questioned.

"Yeah, today it's twelve o'clock," Maggie answered. Oh my gosh I totally forgot about school! Ah, I hate school.

"Oh my god I totally forgot I have to go home" Hope announced, still having trouble standing straight managing the pain.

"Like that?" Maggie asked.

"Yeah I don't have any other choice. I have school and my aunt must be worried also I can handle myself" Hope told them. "Besides I'll use a crutch"

"Why don't you just skip school and text your aunt saying you're staying over at a friend's house?" Maggie suggested.

"I can't. I promised Kaleb that I would walk him to school. Also Josie hasn't been answering my texts or calls. School is the best option to find her" Hope explained.

"How many times did you call and text her?" MG asked

"About thirty times and texted her over fifty" Hope answered.

"Simp," Maggie whispered.

"Dude Hope you need to calm down just give her some time man. She was pretty shaken up when we brought her here, all bloody" MG explained.

"Okay fine, do you want to walk home together?" Hope asked, trying to change the subject.

"No, I'm staying here, going to call in sick to work on this. I will text you when I find something new, okay" MG told her.

"Okay" Hope said, walking away using the crutch that Maggie got for her.

When she got home she was meant with a sleeping Rebekah on the couch probably waiting for her. She couldn't help but have a smile on her face for the woman who has taken care of her since she was young.SHe gave her a small kiss on the forehead and covered her with a blanket. She deserves this; she has been working hard to keep this place intact.

"Thank you" Hope whispered before going upstairs to lie on her bed.

Hope knocked on Kaleb's door; his father was the one that opened it. There was something about his presence that made Hope shiver.

"Mr. Hawkins I'm here for Kaleb" She got to the point of not wanting to be there for long.

"His one his way kid" Mr. Hawkins replied "do you want to come in?"

"Nah I'm okay" Hope said and he hummed glancing at Hope's crutches while they stayed in awkward silence until Kaleb showed up. Could you be any slower?

"Okay let's go see ya dad" Kaleb said.

"Bye sir," Hope said.

"Bye Kaleb see you later kid" He said though it sounded forced to Hope.

"So this week has been crazy" Kaleb broke.

"You could say that," Hope said.

"You're hurt?" he asked.

"Yeah accident don't want to talk about it"

"So you and Josie?" Kaleb asked. I really don't know the answer to that
