Summer's POV:
Nobody wanted to talk about last night. But we were being forced too. We all sat in a circle. In the same chairs. Neil had taken Phillip's out of the circle and put it against the wall. Jennifer stared at the ground and Neil said "anyone want to talk?" "Nope." Alex replied. Neil sighed and Elizabeth said "you'll all feel better if you talk." "Bullshit." I said. "Language Summer." Neil replied. "He couldn't handle it so he got nailed. Period." Kincaid said. Taryn scoffed and said "oh yeah. Big tough bad ass. How much longer are you gonna last?" "Imma last longer than any of of you." He said. That hurt me. I thought of Phillip again and I quickly wiped a tear from my face. "I can't go through this again." I said. Will looked over at me and said "again?" Jennifer stared at me Justin said "it's not going to happen." "Oh it's happening." I replied. Gunner looked down and said "I'm upset that he's gone. He was one of the two friends I have. Why did it have to be him?" J.D smirked and said "be glad it wasn't you." Gunner eyed him and Sonya said "can we not talk about this?" "Why? They want us to talk. So that what we're doing. Aren't we?" I said. Kristen looked at all of us and said "go ahead and fight cause that's what he wants." "Who?" Will asked. Jennifer said "who do you think? What does he want?" Kristen thought about it and said "he wants us to fight. We we'll be weak. Easy prey." "Horseshit." Kincaid said. Nancy nodded and said "no she's right." Elizabeth shook her head at our conversation and Neil was trying to understand. "Phillip's death was a sleepwalking accident. Nothing more." Elizabeth said. Will shook his head and said "no. He was awake. All the way down. I could see fear in his eyes." "It was suicide then." Neil said. Joey had tears form in his eyes and he shook his head quickly. "Joey says it wasn't suicide." Jennifer said. Kincaid huffed and Taryn said "it was murder. Can't you understand that? That bastard murdered him!" Elizabeth said "how much longer are you going to blame your dreams on reality?" "Lady how much longer you gonna keep blowing smoke up our ass?!" Kincaid yelled. Neil said "that's enough Kincaid!" "There will be no repeat occurrences of last night's events. From now on your doors will be locked during sleeping hours. Complete sedation. For everyone." "No." Kristen said. Kincaid stood up and said "anyone that tries to sedate me gets his ass kicked." Elizabeth pushed a button and called for security. "You've just earned a night in the quiet room mister, now sit down!" Elizabeth said to him. Kincaid bowed up at her and said "fuck you! You sit down!" Max and another guard drug Kincaid out of the room. "Get your hands off me! Get the hell off!" Kincaid said as they drug him to the quiet room. Elizabeth and Neil walked out of the room. "We're fucked." Gunner said. He messed with his hair and I could tell he was nervous.

Nova sighed and looked at the ground. Jennifer went to storm out of the room and  Kincaid said "freak." "Fuck you." Jennifer said. Kincaid snickered and said "why don't you go star in a movie or something?" J.D chuckled and Jennifer said "fuck you both." "Get the hell out." Taryn said, annoyed with them. Jennifer huffed and walked out of the room. Will said "Phillip was awake. All the way down. That freaks me out. We could've done something." "How? We were all in separate rooms. The only person that could've done something was Kincaid and you saw how he acted. Obviously Phillip wasn't worthy enough in his opinion." I said. Alex stood up and walked out of the room. That left an open seat next to me. Joey sat next to me and he pointed at me and shrugged. "What?" I asked him. He did the same thing again and I said "are you asking me if I'm ok?" He nodded and I said "you want the truth or lie?" He held up his finger making the number one. "No. I'm not ok. I'm hurting Joey." I said. Justin frowned and said "you guys were close weren't you?" I nodded and said "Phillip and I were friends. I lost all my friends once. I don't think I can do it again." Joey put his head on my shoulder and I put my arm around him. Kristen said "Nancy can we go outside? Please?" Nancy nodded and made us go into the outside area. I picked at the grass blades and Justin said "I think Nancy will help us." "Really?" I asked. Justin nodded and Joey shrugged and I said "what if she doesn't?" Joey nodded and I shrugged while saying "then we're dead." Joey looked at me while shaking his head and I said "sorry. Sorry Joey." He frowned and I shivered since I was in shorts. Nova said "maybe we can defeat him for good." "Maybe." I said. Maddox walked over with Riley and sat down. "So did Phillip ever get the keys?" He asked. I shrugged and said "I think so. He never told me you know." Maddox said "sorry. I was just asking." "Gunner might know." I replied. Riley turned around and looked at the boy sitting alone. "Why would that freak know?" She asked. I huffed and said "because he was friends with Phillip. And if Phillip stole the keys, I think he would've trusted Gunner to hide them for him." "Well someone needs to go ask him." Maddox said. Alex rolled his eyes and said "someone died and all you care about is the fucking pool." "Well let me tell you something Standall, Phillip creeped me out. And I didn't know him that well. So it didn't affect me." Maddox said. Alex looked at him and rolled his eyes. Riley watched the two of them and I said "have some fucking respect or I won't go ask about the keys." Maddox nodded and said "sorry Summer." I sniffled and said "Nova please come with me." I stood up and walked over to where Gunner was sitting. "Gunner?" I asked him. Nova stood next to me and he said "what?" "Did Phillip give you the pool keys?" Nova asked. He looked up and said "yeah. How do you know that?" "I know how close you and Phillip were. So I figured I'd ask." I replied. Gunner sighed and said "are you guys wanting to party there tonight?" I shook my head and said "no. Maybe in a couple of days." He nodded and said "I'll keep them until then. Is that ok?" Nova nodded and said "yeah that's fine." We walked back to the group and Maddox said "does he have them?" "Yes. We'll party in a couple days ok?" I asked. Maddox nodded and he stood up, walking away. Riley followed him and I huffed. "I just want to mourn in peace." I said. Alex said "he's always like that. It's his way of not getting emotional." Justin rolled his eyes and said "that's fucking stupid." Nova sighed and said "let's just try to be happy." I said "that's what I'm trying to do. But I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it."

I hooked y'all up today with a double update. Enjoy it
