Richelle's pov
I wake up to my alarm blaring in my ears, i turn it off and i see jacquie sound asleep with her arm loosely wrapped around me, i slowly lift up her arm before I stand up, jacquie moves around in her bed "I don't want to go to school"jacquie says with her voice muffled by her pillow "come on you have to get up!"i say and she sits up "I want to stay home"jacquie whines "jacquie no"i say to her as I turn to face her i notice a tear roll down her cheek "everything okay?"i ask "hm yeha I just thought I saw something"jacquie says and i nod slowly

I walk out to the kitchen "hey kat?"i ask (jacquie's mum) "hey richelle what's up?"kat asks "i turned to face jacquie a second ago and I saw her crying and she just said she thought she saw something I'm worried!"i say to her "Jason jacquie's hallucinations are back!"kat says and davis looks up at Kat "no they can't be!"davis says "I'm fine"jacquie says "your staying home!"kat says "who did you see this time?"davis asks "noah"jacquie says "excuse me?"i ask

"It always happens I see things that aren't there"jacquie says "what was noah doing?"I ask her "nothing he just had the biggest smile on his face"jacquie says softly "yeah I think I'm going to stay home today"i say and jacquie looks at me "what's wrong?"jacquie asks "uh I just want to work on trying to find out who hurt my best friend"i say softly "well I'll help you"jacquie says softly "but I thought you wanted to go school?"i ask "eh that doesn't matter anymore"jacquie says

Jacquie drives us to my house "hey I'm staying home today!"i say as I walk into the house "good that means you can look after Zara right?"Mj asks "yeah!"i say softly as I pick up Zara "alright well i have to go to work I'll see you later"Mj says as she kisses my head

Mj leaves and i sit down on the sofa with Zara in my arms and presley runs downstairs "I have to leave now"presley says "alright see you later I love you"i say softly "i love you too!"Presley says as she leaves, jacquie sits next to me, "can I ask something?"jacquie asks and i nod "why do you,presley and Mj look after Zara?"jacquie asks "my parents aren't good parents in any way so we look after her"i say softly

Jacquie nods softly and i flick through the tv channels until I see Noah on the news "noah erlick presumed dead after the police say he wouldn't of survived in this cold" jacquie looks at me as the tears roll down my cheeks, jacquie takes Zara and puts Zara in her crib before she pulls me into her side "he's alive I know he is!"i say "I know"jacquie says as she wraps her arms around me,she grabs a blanket and wraps it around us

I put my head in her lap and she plays with my hair which would normally overstimulate me but for some reason I'm finding it relaxing, jacquie stops playing with my hair to check her phone and i pull her hand back on to my head and she giggles before she starts playing with my hair again "i like it it's relaxing"i say softly, i watch as jacquie turns her phone off "what did you do that for?"i ask

"You now have my full attention"jacquie says, other then noah she's the only friend that truly understands and makes me feel safe! I turn onto my back and jacquie looks at me "you alright?"jacquie asks "yeah just getting comfortable"i say softly, jacquie smiles at me and her phone rings "I thought you turned your phone off?"i ask

"I did but my parents have this override thing on my phone for emergencies"jacquie says before she answers the phone "hi dad oh hola abuela"jacquie say's suddenly going into Spanish!? "oh que le pasa a davis"jacquie says "si"jacquie says hanging up

I look at her "my dad is Spanish and my grandma refuses to learn English, but davis got sent home for being sick so I have to go check on her"jacquie says and i sit up "what's wrong with her?"i ask "i don't know yet"jacquie says "let me Zara in her car seat and we can spend the day at your house with davis!"i say as I pick Zara up from her crib and i put Zara in her car seat
