The Fifth One

I have found out exactly what happens during the College Years. There are the Four (three guys and a girl) who own the Club restaurants were all friends; this I knew already. However there was a fifth member of their group; an aspiring young lady. She is the backbone of their friendship. She was the one who brought their astounding talents together to attempt to create the greatest restaurant in, at least, the nation. They were working on a name, they liked the idea of Club M (she had this design for it, the colours, the layout, the uniforms). It would be this giant plethora of delicious food and great dining. Then, she died. This I knew already, that she has to, but I didn't know why or how. I figured as either an accident or a suicide. Something related to cooking in some way, specifically how she dies, but maybe not why. However, she has an idol, relatively like Jeremy Savarin, she was devoted to this man's work. He was one of the huge celebrity chefs hitting the top of the peak of great food. He was very busy and always had a lot new, innovative ideas. He was the one who got her into cooking and she was going to dedicate her restaurant to him. She wanted create something he would love. The dean at the culinary school she went to recognized her talents, and as a graduation was close (the Five were all in the same classes and year, they would graduate together), he convinced the chef to visit the school as a guest. She was a teacher's pet, essentially, but, in a way, she sort of earned her rights to this. On the day of the visit, she was going to have a personal dinner with the dean and her idol chef. After the dinner, she was to share her idol her ideas. She had left her book (of ideas) in the restaurant, and as a gentleman, her idol retrieved it for her. As he was crossing the street back from the restaurant, he gets hit by a car, and dies. It's an instantaneous death. In despair, as graduation gets closer and the thought of opening this restaurant with her friends and fellow co-workers draws nearer, she can't stand it. She believes she killed her idol, the man who was the sole reason she was even doing this. The day before graduation, she kills herself. (I do not know how yet.) Afterwards, the group cannot work together. The Fifth was their backbone, and without her, they are in need of a leader. In hatred to each other for what happened and in love for what their friend did, they attempt to create the perfect Club M. An obsession from an obsession. They wish to honor the death of their late friend, and want to create what she would have truly wanted. She had several idea logs, of various re-writes of Club M. She never knew which one she loved more but revolved around them all. One week, she'd work on one idea, then for the next month, another. Each one based on various influences from her friends and her idol. They each take one of the logs, the one based from each of them. (She had five logs, one for each of the Four and one for the idol chef--which was the one he was holding when he died, and therefore was 'unusable', as it was covered in blood and eventually destroyed before she killed herself.) They go their separate ways, and attack and sabotage each other as they try to fulfill their friends dream.
