"Are you home?" Oliver still sounds a bit grumpy after he stormed off because Noah was bugging him. After he left, I ended up putting together Jeff's profile with the help of Noah, but he's the most hyperactive, unfocused person I have ever met. I got kind of annoyed by it after an hour and went to look for Oliver, failing in finding him in that goddamn villa.

I ended up having to call Nathan to pick me up, who took Stan along with him as to not be out on his own.

We're all on edge right now, and it's causing more fights among us every day. Nathan is getting frustrated to have to pick me up every time I scared someone away. Stan is grumpy because Nathan keeps dragging his ass along to pick me up, Oliver and I weren't great friends to begin with, but ever since I laughed because of Noah's teasing our contact reached an ultimate low.

We still have contact, but only whenever it's about Finnley.

To make things worse, for the first time in years, there has been a snow blizzard and half the country is experiencing trouble due to a huge pack of unexpected snow. Back when I was young, I loved snow. Finnley, Charlie and I would always go out and build a snowman, create a slippery path by sliding back and forth over the same spot; always picking a spot that caused complaints because people were slipping the next day.

Right now, I hate the snow, since I don't know if Finnley is in the same sort of housing-situation as we had been the first time. That would mean it's freaking cold in there and I wish I would be with him to keep him at least a bit warm.

Besides, ever since I got trapped in that Jacuzzi, getting out severely hypothermic, I already feel cold in general, let alone when the temperature decided to drop below freezing point.

And then Oliver surprised me by calling me, for the first time since he left me by myself in his home on Friday.

"I'm home, why?" I mutter, still shuddering because I'm cold, even though I wrapped myself in two blankets and turned on the heater.

"I need to show you something." He sounds serious. "I'm on my way, but then I figured I didn't know if you'd be home..." He sighs deeply. "I'll be there in a couple of minutes."

"Eeh, okay." I frown, staring at Nathan, who is visible through the door of the office. "See you in a minute, I guess."

"Yeah, see ya soon." He hung up, while I'm taking in the living room. It's a bit of a mess, since neither Nathen, nor me, was in the mood to clean up for the past couple of days.

"Nate? Oliver is dropping by in a minute. Said he needed to show me something."

"Shouldn't you clean up a bit first?" He calls back, soon after showing up in the living room. "It's a bit messy."

"Yeah, but he's here any minute and I didn't know he was coming over."

"Then you should've told him to come by later."
