<Xavier's p.o.v>
Everyone's eyes turned to me.
"What? She is my girlfriend, and I intend to do whatever I can to help her." I told them.
"But... You can't do it all on your own!" Rebecca replied.
"Your right. I'll help. I can watch her through the day. You, through the night. Agreed?" Blake said.
I sighed, it was a good negotiation.
"Okay, then. But you better watch her well." I warned him.
He chuckled, and nodded.
"So, that's sorted?" I asked.
"Wait, wait, wait. You think we're going to stand back and let you two do all the important stuff?!" Corey asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, good point!" Rebecca chirped in.
"Well, what do you guys wanna do?" I asked them.
"I can share night shift duties with you. Swap in the middle of the night." Hana said.
"Okay... And you two?"
"We can share daytime duty. Together." Rebecca said.
"Great! So, its sorted?" Blake asked.
"I think so."
"How about, the day timers swap at 12:00pm, and the night timers swap at 12:00am?" Hana asked.
"Sure!" Rebecca sang.
"Well, we're all together now, so we don't need to start just yet. How about we go get a snack?" I suggested.
"Yeah!" Rebecca cried.
"I will go down, then. Everybody else stay here." I warned.
I went downstairs to get the snacks, and I was just opening the fridge when I heard a voice behind me.
"Did you miss me?"
Suddenly, all was black.
<Blake's p.o.v>
"How long does it take to get us some snacks?!" Corey cried out sarcastically.
"Guys, I'm worried. I'll go check it out." I went down stairs to the fridge.
Xavier was nowhere to be seen.
The fridge door was slightly ajar, and there was a sprinkling of blood by it.
My eyes widened, and I saw a slip of paper on the table.
It read;
Thats right, I've got him. Bring Hope to me, or he will die.
Time is ticking away.
If you've got her, take her to the place all this started.
~You know who this is.
I grabbed the note, and rushed back up the stairs.
I burst in the door, and showed everyone the note.
"What do we do, guys?" Hope stirred.
Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked vaguely surprised to see where she was, but she was even more surprised when she saw the note laying on her bed.
I tried to snatch it away, but it was too late. She had already read it.
She bolted up in the bed, and got out from under the covers.
"Guys, I'm not going to let himdie because of me. You have to understand." She ran out of the door.
It was heart-wrenching.
To choose a friend over a friend. That was just cruel.
But, that was Harvey, I guess.
Cruel.
I could barely process what was happening.
Hope was leaving, Xavier was gone, and Harvey was winning.
"Hope! No!" Corey cried. He grabbed her arm, but she shrugged his grip off. I reached out my arm.
I grabbed her shoulder, and she squirmed away after a few seconds.
She had a new determination inside of her.
There was honestly no stopping her now.
But we had to try.
I chased after her, Corey, Rebecca and Hana hot on my trail.
She was running fast.
She bolted out of the front door, and she was at her old house in no time.
She had knocked on the door just when I came to face the front of the house.
"Hope, you dont have to--"
"Its too late now."
I looked up in fear, to see the one and only Harvey.
She was shaking at his presence, but tried not to show it.
He grabbed her ear and dragged her inside.
Without thinking, I followed.
So did Corey, Rebecca and Hana.
