Srry ppl... 2 lazy 2 write Caleb's P.O.V...

Jared’s P.O.V

I held Brook close to me as she cried I still find it hard to believe that she’s mine and I will not let her go. When she calmed down she still clung to me tightly and refused to let go.

“Brook, what’s wrong?” I asked panicky.

“She’s gone, she’s really gone. Poor Heartless, poor zee, poor Satan.” She mumbled into my chest. She looked up at me and I gently rubbed away her tears.

“They’re strong and they’ve been through worse, they will probably get over it but remember Poppy happily. They will never forget her but will be happy with their lives. Poppy wouldn’t want you to grieve her forever now would she?” I said soothingly, honestly I had no idea what I was saying but so long it calmed brook down, I was fine with it.

“But I could have stopped her, I could have gone instead of her…” She said softly but I cut her off.

“I would have stopped you.” I said harshly.

“But if she never went we wouldn’t be in this situation.” She said struggling feebly to make herself guilty.

“it’s not your fault, it was her choice and she would have never agreed unless she really cared about you girls.” I reasoned. “Look, find Sasha, she’s probably very upset and needs someone who understands.” I said. It pained me knowing that I wouldn’t be able to talk any sense into her but it was what’s best for her. She nodded her head and ran off to find Satan.

I walked off and bumped into Zee, she was crying and freaking out. “What happened?” I asked.

“My worst nightmare.” She sobbed out as she ran off, probably to find her sisters or an empty room.

I walked into the room Caleb and Zee had their little conversation and saw Caleb banging his head against the wall.

“What happened?” I asked.

“I messed up.”

“Obviously. What did you say or do to her?”

“…I kissed her. It felt like I was finally alive, like she belonged with me no matter what, it felt so right. I forgot I had a perfectly good girlfriend that I love. I screwed up so bad…” Caleb said before mumbling random junk.

“You don’t love your girlfriend… you love Zee.” I stated after I absorbed what that boy said.

“I love Selene.” He said stubbornly like he was trying to convince himself more than convince me.

“If you loved your girlfriend you would not have kissed Zee, and if you didn’t love Zee you wouldn’t have felt all that when you kissed her.” I explained as my mind drifted over to my first kiss with brook.

Caleb was silent the entire time and sighed. “That just makes things so much more complicated.” He sighed again.

“Why?” I asked.

“She doesn’t love me.” He said at last.

“How do you know?” I asked.

“Ree never believed in love, she cares about me but would never love me. Especially because I drove her away.” He said before banging his head against the wall.

“How did you drive her away?” I asked.

“I pushed her away when I saw Selene, I dated her enemy, I treated her badly if she said anything bad about Selene, I barely had any time for her and she stopped confiding in me and I blamed her for her mother’s death. I’m a crap friend and she will never consider me as her boyfriend.” He said sadly.

“She won’t hold it against you, anyway she doesn’t.” I said logically.

“How do you know?” He snapped.

“Zee told brook, who told me she doesn’t and said if she did she would have left you to fend for yourself against her dad. It’s sad she isn’t over…” I was about to tell him Zee loved him but I swore to brook that I wouldn’t tell anyone.

“It’s sad she isn’t over?”

“The fact her dad’s involved with the mafia.” I said quickly using Brook’s excuse. If this gets out everyone would be in hysterics, the proud high and almighty Zee upset her dad was involved with the mafia. Zee being terrified of puppies would be more believable.

“Okay then, thanks man.” Caleb said as we bumped our fists with each other.

“No problem.”

Katherine’s P.O.V

I kept reading and rereading the letter Poppy wrote for me. My best friend’s dead and it’s his entire fault. I glared at no one in particular. Why did she leave me such a big job? To unite all the girls and get us all to fight together against dad? Was she insane?

I was about to get out of dad’s office when the phone rang.

“Hello?” I said.

“Hello? Is this Logan’s office?” The voice said.

“Yes, I’m sorry he’s not ion right now, he’s busy please call back later.” I was about to hang up.

“Wait! I need to talk to you.”

“Okay but first who are you?” I asked.

“I’m Selene. Is Azrael’s dad Logan?” The voice asked.

“Yes.” I replied hesitantly.

“He murdered her mother. I saw it happen, I want to help them. It’s the least I could do for her after what I put her through.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I stole the guy she loved; I was very mean to her, I know that her dad has some contacts outside of his messed up ‘family’.” She said desperately.

“Who are they?”

“Darren Lim, Taylor Yam, Rachel Chan…” she listed but I cut her off.

“What!” I yelled.

“Rachel is in with Logan. He kidnapped her children and threatened to kill them unless she cooperated.” She explained.

“That’s where the girls are! And how do you know!” I yelled panicking.

“My brother’s a computer freak and I persuaded him to hack into your computers. Your dad’s a freak by the way.”

“How do we get them out?” I yelled.

“You don’t, your dad’s going to take them back to your island and have a public execution.” Selene said apologetically.

“What do I do?” I asked.

“I don’t know! Figure it out! You’re supposed to be super smart!” She yelled. She had a point. I knew what I had to do; I had to unite the girls.

“Thank you for the heads up, I have an idea, please give me your phone number and e-mail address so I can contact you.” I said. She gave me an address and a number before hanging up. I dialled in a number to the speaker.

“All girls please go to the hall for an emergency meeting please.” I said and shut the speaker of. Please may this plan work. I composed myself and prepared a speech to tell them.

 Yes ppl... Love my mother... Oh and Julian if ur reading this i hate u so much right now.
