Coming Back To You

~Thirty-four~

Bella's POV

"Nick...here's another one." I hand Nick another note I found in my locker at work today.

He picks it up and reads it.

"What is this? Do they think this is a joke?" He slams the paper down to the table we're all sitting at.

"Probably," Jake shrugs.

"Dude." Dante slaps Jake on the back of the head.

"Guys! We need to figure out who is sending these notes, kay?" Nick runs a hand through his hair for what seems like the millionth time today.

I grab his arm and hug him, trying to calm him down. He gives in almost immediately and wraps his arms around my lower back.

"Calm down, Nick, we'll find out who's sending them." I try to comfort him by rubbing his back.

He sighs, "You're right, I'm sorry for getting frustrated."

"You have every right to be frustrated, but let's just try to figure this out," I peck his lips and pull away, Nicks head following to try and kiss me.

"Get a room, guys," Zach fake gags and points to his open mouth.

"Shut up, dude," Enzo snaps.

Zach rolls his eyes, obviously annoyed Enzo rained on his parade.

The door slams open, startling all of us, and Zach screaming.

Jeez, is he still a middle schooler? His voice cracked more than a broken egg.

"We have something on them," someone I don't know says. Enzo stands up and claps his hands together, causing us all to give him weird looks.

"You know this guy? I thought what we had was real?" Zach starts to fake cry into Dante's shoulder.

Enzo rolls his eyes and walks up to the mystery man, "So, you said you found something?"

"Yes, follow me please."

We all follow him to a strange room full of different screens at different angles.

"I've been looking at security footage that the enemies have been trying to erase, and I was able to find some footage of a woman about our age, not easily hidden, putting a note in your house. It appears that the suspect has blonde hair, small nose, and big lips. Sound familiar?"

I hesitate, "Yeah..." I'm at a loss for words.

It can't be her, can it? How is she here?

"Who is it, bellissima?" Nick grips my shoulder and slightly shakes me, noticing my shock.

"It-it's...Mikayla." I blink, trying to comprehend my own words.

"Mikayla? Isn't she in London though?"

"That's what I thought."

Nick sighs and turns to the mystery man, "Do you know where she is now?"

"It shows she's at a run-down warehouse in the woods."

"Let's go, guys." Nick starts to leave.

"Nick! Wait!" I run to catch up to him.

"You aren't coming with us, I can't let anything happen to you. Ever."

"I just wanted to tell you to be safe...and to come back to me safely. Please."

"I always come back, bellissima." He hugs me tightly and kisses my head before he goes to the car.

"He'll be alright, he's a good fighter," Zach pats my shoulder.

"Thanks, Zach," I smile at him.

"No problem, kiddo. Well, I guess I'll see you later?"

"See you later," I smile and wave as he gets into the passenger seat of Nick's car.

Did you guess it? I'm pretty sure the plot twist is very predictable, but I'll just tell myself it isn't lol.

Only a few more chapters guys! Tell me if you want a sequel and with which character!
