Meghan's POV
"Jasmine?"
She smiled.
"Hey"
A part of me was so happy to have seen her after such a long summer, but the other part of me wanted to back hand her for ignoring us for such a long time.
"Where the fuck have you been?!" I yelled, "Olivia and I have been going out of our minds to find you"
"You guys weren't looking for me, you were looking for answers to my death"
I looked down in shame. I couldn't believe that she talked to me, knowing that I was the one who killed her.
"Meghan, you didn't kill me" she said.
"I know, I know, it was the drug crazy side of me that killed you. But, the blood is still on my hands"
Jasmine shook her head, "Meghan I wasn't killed by you or your drug crazy side"
"Then who killed you?"
"Nathaniel"
"What?"
"I used to work for him, and when I sent in my resignation, he didn't take it too well"
"He killed you because you stopped working for him?"
"With all the inside information I knew about him, he couldn't afford me walking around telling people"
A weight was lifted off my chest and a huge smile spread across my face.
"So, I didn't kill you?"
Jasmine laughed a little, "No"
I was internally happy, but I couldn't help but feel a sudden anger towards Nathaniel.
He put everyone around him through Hell. Nolan, Jaiden, Jasmine, and many other people he fucked with.
"Wait, but why didn't you say something when I thought I killed you?" I asked.
"I was resting"
"What?"
"After you guys were all together, my job was done and I could rest peacefully" she explained.
"Why did you wake up now?"
"Something bad happened, and it woke me up"
My heart stopped as I thought of all the possibilities of bad things that could've happened.
"Nathaniel's been spying on you all this summer, using Logan as an insider" Jasmine stated.
"Yeah, I already knew that" I laughed, "Thanks for stating the obvious"
"Shut up, I'm trying to help you" she replied.
"Do you know where they all are?" I asked.
"Yes" she answered.
I waited a few minutes, for her to tell me.
"Where are they?!" I snapped.
"Calm down! I'll tell you" she snapped back.
I took a deep, calming breath.
"After he burnt down the house, he kidnapped the rest of them and brought them to his old house"
"Is Dean with them too?"
"Either that or Nathaniel killed him"
I clenched my fists.
"But, why did he leave me?"
"He thought you burnt to death" she explained.
Thoughts began rolling around in my head. Was I actually dead? Was my carcass burnt to ash along with the apartment?
"Am I dead?" I asked, with tears running down my face.
Jasmine shook her head, "No, death is an entirely different experience. You'll know when you're dead"
I dried my tears, "So, how are we going to save them?"
"You're going to need help" Jasmine said, "And I know just the people to call"
