Rhea's POV
"Jake?"
Brandon sent me down to see Jake for the day. I don't really want to meet anyone else after what happened with Beck, but i guess i have too.
"Ahh Rhea!" Jake said happily, giving me a big hug. "Uhm... Brandon said i-i'm spending the day with you." I said nervously, feeling stupid for stuttering. "And that you are my dear!" He almost shouted, linking his arm with mine and practically dragging me outside to his car. They all must be pretty rich, they have a huge house with 5 bedrooms all including bathrooms, a big living room, huge kitchen and i'm pretty sure i haven't discovered it all yet. They all have a car each, and a van to share. Jake's car was a really cute little purple mini cooper with a black and white checked roof. It looked quiet out of place next to all the other expensive cars, but i still liked it. There was also a Jaguar, 2 BMW's and a really nice convertible 2 seated Audi. Jake obviously saw me eyeing all the cars, and started to explain who's was who's. The Jaguar was Beck's, The 2 BMW's belonged to Jason and Austin and the Audi was Brandon's. Brandon had the best taste out of all of them.
Jake opened the car door like a gentleman, watched me get in and then shut the door behind me and walked round to the other side and got in. He locked both doors. "Now, there are some rules we have before i take you, and if you don't follow them they'll be consequences." He explained. I nodded my head for him to continue. "1. You don't run off. 2. You hold my hand the entire time, and don't try anything. 3. If anyone asks we're a couple and i'm taking you shopping. 4. You have to have fun." He said smiling at the last one after being so serious.
"Okay!" I said excited to be going shopping. He started up the car and we rolled out of the driveway.

"JAKE!" I shouted from inside one of the changing rooms. Jake was a lot of fun and i knew we were already great friends. "WHAT!" He shouted back. I walked out of the changing room and looked at him. "Does this look okay?" I asked sweetly.
His eyes widened. "Yes! You're having it! It's beautiful on you!" He said in a very camp tone. It was a beautiful dress that came just above my knees, it hugged my figure to my waist and the bottom part flowed down. It was sparkly at the top and had a plain light purple bottom, and straps. It was gorgeous.

We walked out of the shopping center and headed back to Jake's car. I looked across the car park looking for Jake's car, because we forgot where we parked it, and something unbelievable caught my eye.
It was him.
I gripped Jake's wrist as tight as i could, and started dragging him too the car. "Take me back, quickly." I said seriously. He looked at me confused, but didn't hesitate to push me into the seat and rush round to the other side of the car and drive off. "What was that about?" He asked curiously. "Brandon will tell you, just tell him that I give him permission to."
The whole ride back was silent. It wasn't an awkward silence i was just thinking. Thinking about how he found me, and whether he was following us, whether he already knew where we were, whether he'd got Ellie. I was terrified.
I walked through the door to find all the guys except Beck around the TV staring at it intensely. "What are you all watching?" I asked curiously. They all looked up at me shocked. Brandon turned off the TV and stood in front of it. "Nothing." He said quickly.
I pushed past him and switched the TV back on. All the colour drained from my face as i stared at the screen in disbelief. "I'm so sorry Rhea." I heard Brandon from behind me. I couldn't move. I couldn't think. All i did was stare.
Soon i felt gentle hands around my waist, softly pulling my away from the picture on the screen. I didn't fight, i just watched the picture flicker and get smaller and smaller and disappear around the corner.
Ellie was gone.
He killed her.
The picture of my dead best friend stayed in my mind for the rest of the walk up to Brandon's room. I didn't say a word. I didn't cry. I didn't show any emotion, but shock.
My best friend is dead?
Ellie?
