Briar POV

Was that weird or is it just me? I have known Berkeley since we were 5 years old, and I have never once seen her cry. Its so unlike her.

Everyone is still sitting in the lounge, silently. It isn't an awkward silence, but its not exactly comfortable either.

"Trevor, you should go after her." I suggest. "Make sure she's okay, and apologise for being such a dick."

"Yeah ... I'm on it." He says and stand up and walks after Berkeley.

I get up and walk out onto the balcony. I let out a big sigh and stare out at the oceans view. I feel someone wrap their arms around my waste. It's Myles, of course.

"I'm scared Mylo." I admit, quietly.

"I know lil b. Hang in there, I've got you." He whispers in my ear.

"Thanks Mylo." I say.

"Thanks for what?" Myles asks me.

"Thanks for being the best boyfriend ever." I say.

Myles leans down to me and kisses me passionately, and I kiss back of course. We stay standing on the balcony for quite a long time. But we are soon interrupted.

BANG

Myles and I spin around to see a knife lying on the ground next to us. There is note connected to the knife. Myles picks it up and reads it to himself. When he's finished reading, he looks up at me, worried. I snatch the note out of his hands and begin reading.

If you want to see you're friend again then you'll meet me at the park next to Berkeley's house at midnight tonight.

Shelby

Instantly I know that Shelby really meant what she said. She won't stop until we're all dead, and Berkeley is in a lot of danger.
