"I know you accidentally killed my uncle". The words kept playing in her head, like a catchy record. She felt so guilty for killing Jaspers uncle but she couldn't bring herself around to confess to the police. Annie wondered how jasper knew about it all. Annie had not spoken to Jasper since the dance, she was wondering how long it would take for him to revel her secret. The deepest darkest secret she had ever carried in her life. She had no one to turn to, no one she could trust to help her get through this. Usually she would go to her brother but she tried to tell him before and he though that she was confessing to sleeping with Liam. Everyone thought Annie slept with Liam, until Liam tricked Jen into confessing, what really happened. She couldn't help but wonder why Liam didn't tell the truth on prom night. Everyday she blamed Liam for the mess she was in.

Annie was sat in her room, listening to her I-pod.

'Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go'

She got a text and it was from Jasper, wanting her to meet him on the beach right away. She was undecided on whether meet him but she was scared he would turn her in into the police, she had to meet him. She was too scared to say anything as much as she thought she deserved some sort of punishment. She got in her car and made her way to the beach. She parked her car near the beach and made her way to the beach, she saw Jasper sitting down on the sand.

"Hello Annie" said Jasper. He was smiling at her, like he was enjoying having a hold on her.

Annie was distant she didn't want to talk to Jasper; she didn't understand why she came other than she didn't want Jasper to revel her secret. The only reason she started hanging around with Jasper was because she felt sorry for him.

"Annie, are you okay?"

"I'm fine"

She was suddenly distracted by some boy she saw coming out the sea, he was holding a surf board and was wearing a wet suit. She couldn't stop staring at him he looked so familiar then she realised who it was it was Liam! He was walking towards her and Jasper. She wondered what he wanted.

"Look Annie, I need to talk to you". Liam was looking deep into her eyes; he wanted her to know he was sorry and that he meant it. Liam couldn't help but care for Annie even if she hated him. He knew Jasper wasn't good enough for her.

"She doesn't want to speak to you". Jasper said angrily.

"Since when do you speak for Annie?"

"Both of you shut up". Annie shouted.

"Annie… can I talk you… Alone" Liam said softly

"Okay fine".

"Annie if you go and speak to him, I'll tell your secret of what happened on prom night". Jasper hated the thought of Annie and Liam speaking to each again. He saw the way they both looked at each. Jasper wasn't stupid he knew Annie, actually liked Liam no matter how much she said she hated Liam.

"What secret… you can tell me?" Liam asked. He was curious.

"No…. leave me alone Liam". Annie knew she didn't want Liam to leave her alone but what choice did she have.

"You heard her, Liam, leave her alone. She doesn't want to speak to you".

"Fine, I'll see you later". Liam walked away. He was left wondering about what the deal is with Jasper and what hold he had on Annie.

"Jasper there was no need to be rude". Annie was so angry at Jasper; he had to make things much worse than they needed to be.

"Do you know how much trouble he caused for you, you don't want to talk to people like that?" She knew Jasper was trying to manipulate her, but all she could do was let him carry on.

"I've got to go home Jasper". Annie stormed away, she felt like she needed to get away from Beverly Hills.

Annie got home from the beach and made her way upstairs, she packed her bags and took the keys to her Grandma's place in Palm Springs. She decided she needed to get away from Beverly Hills for awhile. She walked out the doors not even leaving her parents a note as to where she is. She made her way out the door and saw Liam coming up the drive. He was slowly coming near her; Annie tried to rush back into the house but he grabbed hold of her hand before she could make her way back inside. His hands were now around her waist.
