SECRETS

Amber DiLaurentis was actually not the person you expected her to be. Everyone expected her to be either fragile or to be a freak. Alison didn't call her Amphibian-Amber for no reason. However, nobody had called her this since Alison disappeared one night. Suddenly, she was just gone. It was a surprise to everyone as Amber waltzed back into town just a year later.

1. Prologue

PROLOGUE

It was the last weekend of summer and Amber spent it in her room. A new school year would start again and she knew it wouldn't be different. Different from the last one she experienced. She has been bullied most of her school years and she thanked her older sister for that. Normally your older siblings would protect and help you but Alison thought that Jason did a good job for both of them. Enough for her to make sure that her sister won't forget who the queen bee was.

It was after sunset and Amber went to her room to enjoy the peace for the last few days. The blonde spent most of her summer at her home, helping her mother in the garden or reading. It had been so nice to not have Alison around, who constantly picked on her sister. The only person who truly loved her was her brother Jason. Unfortunately, he didn't have a good summer compared to his sisters. Most of the time he was drunk or high and once he wasn't, he was sleeping. Amber missed her brother and hoped it would change.

But she didn't expect that her sister would go missing tomorrow and to leave her hometown for a while.
