Laura's POV

I walk up to Hannah in the cafeteria after getting my lunch, sitting down beside her. She is on her phone, texting someone. I take a bite out of my sandwich, and she looks up from her phone, and smiles before putting away her phone. "Hey" She says, getting out her own lunch. "Hey" I swallow the food in my mouth. "Who were you texting?" I ask as Hannah takes a bite out of her apple.

"Alison" She mumbles, "There's a party tonight, want to go?" I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, I've never been to one before" She nods "Same, it might be fun though". I've heard of those house parties, there's supposed to be alcohol and people do drugs. Not my type of thing, but if Hannah wants to go I'll go, like she said it might be fun. "I hope Joe isn't going, if he's with another girl there I'm leaving" I state and Hannah smiles, laughing a little. "Okay"

The rest of the day goes by quickly, and everyone is talking about this house party. I don't even know who's hosting it, no one seems to know. People have even put up posters, which is crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if a teacher shows up.

I hear the school bell ring, and everyone starts packing up their stuff. I do the same, zipping up my pencil case. "House party!" Someone shouts and everyone screams. I just keep packing up, walking out the door.  I walk out to the cars parked outside, looking for Jack and Mark. I see their car and walk over to it, putting my bag in the boot.

"Hey" I say and Jack looks behind him to wave at me. "Hey, we have some news" Mark says, starting the car. "What?" I ask and Jack shows me his phone. "We found where our old phone are, you know the ones that were stolen when we were locked in?" I nod, thinking back to the time it happened, it seems so long ago. "Well, we found them" Jack says and I stare at the location. "It's the same location where we found the laptop" Jack continues, and I look up at him, shocked. "Are you going to see who it is?" Mark nods, turning around to face me too. "Yeah, but we figured you'd want to be there too, since you found us and all" I blush a little, smiling. "Yeah"

I look out the window and watch Joe walk past, walking in the direction we were driving home. He normally goes the other direction, maybe he's meeting up with someone or something. Jack and Mark give him death stares as he walks past, but they go back to their normal, calm faces when he leaves.

"Anything happening with Joe?" Mark says and I shake my head. "No, apparently there's a house party tonight, everyone is going. He might be there" Jack raises an eyebrow. "Do you want to go?" He asks and I shrug my shoulders "Yes and No. Yes because everyone is going to be there and Hannah's going, but no because of Joe, also there's drugs and alcohol" I talk openly to Jack and Mark, because they understand me. I'm not going to lie to them again and say there's going to be no illegal substances, because there's obviously going to be. They look at each other.

"I guess you can go, if you want. We trust you and we know that you won't go near that stuff. Just stay close to people you know and say no to people if they offer you things" I nod, smiling.
"Thanks, Hannah said I could go to her house to get ready if I want. But I kind of want to find this criminal too" Jack and Mark laugh, and they nod. "Okay so, we should probably call the police but if they are not in the flat then I don't want to waste the policemen and women's time" Mark said and we agree. "We better just go and see if they are there first" I say and they agree. We finally leave the school and start driving home.

A few minutes later we arrive home, Mark parks the car and I get my school bag out of the boot. "I'm kind of nervous" I whisper to Jack and he gives me hug. "Why?" He asks. "I don't know, it's kind of scary that you're probably going to meet the person who tried to kill you, unless it is a setup" I say and he squeezes me tightly. "Don't worry, you're safe with us, we won't let anything hurt you" I smile and we walk in together, Mark walking behind us.
