i woke up in a hospital bed feeling a hand squeezing mine.

my gaze fell on Tom, who was chatting with Bill. they were both sitting beside my bed, looking tired, as if they hadn't slept in a long time.

"Tom?" i said in a small voice i didn't recognize.

he automatically turned his head towards me, and as soon as he saw that i was awake, he got up from his chair, without letting go of my hand, and kissed me on the forehead and then on the hand.

"it's all right, baby," he whispered, stroking my forehead.

i turned to Bill, who gave me a compassionate smile. he looked just too sincere.

after all, maybe it wasn't him?

"how are you feeling blondie?" Bill asked, stroking my leg gently with his fingertips.

"i'm okay." i sighed.

suddenly i remembered what had happened and jumped to my feet, which surprised the twins, who looked at each other worriedly.

"where's Zoe? what the fuck happened?" i asked, suddenly breathing very quickly.

Tom pushed me back to my bed and sat down again. Bill pursed his lips and looked at his hesitant brother.

"she's on life support..." said Bill finally, looking down at the floor.

i squeezed Tom's hand so hard i was sure it must have hurt. i couldn't lose Zoe, it just wasn't possible.

"what the fuck happened?"

"we don't really know. a woman tried to get in the bathroom and found you unconscious in a cabin. Zoe was found on the floor, she fell from the 3rd floor. she was very lucky to survive." Bill said, scratching his knee nervously.

i frowned, "how do they know she fell from the 3rd floor?" i asked.

"a trail of blood," Tom replied, staring at the floor.

"i need to see her," i declared as i sat down on my bed, ready to leave.

Tom automatically pushed me back against my bed again.

"we're not allowed to see her, Georg is devastated, so he and Gustav went to get something to eat and think about something else." he smirked. "please rest."

as if i'd listen to him when my best friend was between life and death.

"fine, can y'all get a doctor then?" i asked with a fake smile.

the twins nodded in agreement and got up to leave the room. how stupid of them.

i ripped the needle out of my arm and took my phone who was on the table by my side before getting up and running, barefoot, out of my room, trying to find my best friend on the floor for the people who needed life support.

i looked in all the rooms and finally found Zoe. strangely, there were no nurses, which was fine by me.

i entered the room and sat down beside the body of my best friend.

her face was covered in wounds and bandages, she was practically unrecognizable.

i was about to take her hand in mine when i heard my phone ring in my pocket.

i jumped and quickly picked it up to avoid the noise attracting anyone.

"hello?" i murmured.

"hello Cici." i heard ghostface's doctored voice on the other end of the line.

i froze in place. he dared to call me NOW?

"i'm getting bored of this little game you know?" i said a little louder.

"don't worry baby, it's only the beginning," he replied icily.

"yeah that's what they all say," i replied, unbothered.

"don't get smart with me, Cici."

i laughed nervously, "yeah well i can't help it, see ya."

"DON'T FUCKING HANG UP ON ME YOU LITTLE BITCH-"

i hung up without listening to the rest.

i placed a kiss on best friend's forehead, "i'll never let you down."

i got up and headed back to my floor when i bumped into a torso.

"fuck, sorry," the man with a white blouse said, stepping back.

i recognized him immediately: Ethan.

"Cici? what are you doing you should be in your room." he said immediately.

"what are YOU doing here? are you a doctor?" i pointed to his white blouse.

"i might have found work here," he chuckled.

his eyes scanned my body which made me shiver with disgust. this guys had no shame.

i'm sure it would have pleased me 3 years ago, but i'd evolved and i'd found a guy who was great for me.

"Cici!" i suddenly heard Tom's voice behind me, making me jump.

Bill and Tom approached me and Tom put his arm very gently around my waist.

"where the hell have you been? i've been looking everywhere for you!" Tom said without so much as a glance at Ethan.

"sorry, i was chatting with him," i pointed to Ethan.

Tom and Bill automatically turned to Ethan, frowning.

"you know him?" Bill squinted.

"hi, i'm Sarah's brother." Ethan smiled diplomatically, "it's nice to finally meet you guys."

Tom glowered at him before pressing me a little tighter against his chest and turning back towards the room, leaving Ethan behind.

i made my way to the bed without a word and the brothers sat down beside me, without commenting either.

a doctor finally appeared to check on my condition. i had a few cuts on my face, bruises on my ribs from falling so hard and a bump on the back of my head.

"i'm going to kill that bastard," mumbled Tom, clenching his jaw tightly.

i put my hand on his clenched fist, which softened his contracted expression a little.

i couldn't even imagine the state Georg must have been in, his girlfriend between life and death.

the doctor finally left and let Gustav and Georg in, who had brought back some food.

"if you need anything, just ask Cici," smiled Georg.

"we're your humble servants," said Gustav with a curtsey that made me, Bill and Tom burst out laughing.

Georg and Gustav took two spare chairs and sat down next to the twins.

"how do you feel, Georg?" i asked him shyly.

he sighed as he looked down at the floor, then looked up at me with a sad, fake smile, "i'm hopeful."

i gave him a compassionate smile as i dropped my phone unintentionally on the floor. Georg quickly picked it up, showing me the back of his head, which had a large bump on it

i'd hit ghostface with a door from behind, which would be a perfect match for this kind of injury.

"it was you..." i mumbled. the boys all turned to me at the same time, looking confused.

"IT WAS FUCKING YOU." i yelled as i got up and walked over to him and up against the wall.
