PROLOGUE
"Mum?"
"Yes Layla"
"Where are we going?"
"Home, we are going home…"
I never knew how much one place could change a person's life, my mothers told me what they have been through, when I realised we were going back to Rosewood my blood ran cold. I remember saying "Why would you go back there after everything that's happened to you?", and the reply I got was,
"Layla, we both grew up here, and all the other girls are coming back too, think of it as a family reunion…"
Five girls… One town… And a whole lot of secrets.
CHAPTER 1
The First Meeting:
"THIS is where we're staying?!" moaned Layla,
"Yes Layla, this is the DiLaurentis family house, it looks nicer inside" explained Alison. Layla walked inside the big, old house and instantly liked it, with the cream and black setting, it was the perfect sort of place to grow up.
"We're going to meet up with the other girls soon, do you want to stay here or come?"
"I guess I'll come…"
Layla had all sorts of questions for her parents, but decided to keep her mouth shut, the drive only took a couple of minutes, but like ad's it seemed to take a lot more.
"OMG ALI, EMILY!" "It's so good to see you, i've missed you!"
"We've missed you too!" "I can't believe it's been over 12 years…"
"You must be Layla, I'm Hanna, we met a long time ago. Wow I completely forgot! My daughter Olivia is over by the car" Hanna gestured over to her car where there was a girl with long strawberry hair, "Maybe you want to say 'Hi'?"
Layla looked up at Alison and Ali said
"Go, have fun with people your own age while us oldies catch up. I'll text you when it's time for dinner "
"Okay," smiled Layla, "Bye Mum, Bye Emily"
Layla walked over to the Rivers' family car, the other girl looked up and started to walk over, "So you must be uhh…"
"Layla," giggled Layla "And you are?"
"My Names Olivia, Olivia Regina Rivers." smiled Olivia
"Nice to meet you," said Layla offering Olivia her hand
"You too," said Olivia shaking Layla's hand.
"So what do you think of Olivia?"
"She seems really nice, I can't wait to meet the other girls."
"You won't have to wait long…"
At that point in time Spencer, Toby and their daughter Victoria walked into 'The Radley' and Emily, Alison and Hanna all jump up and ran over to Spencer,
"Wow Spence! You look amazing!"
"Thanks Ali." said Spencer Smiling from ear to ear, a few meters away Emily and Toby were hugging.
"Those two always seemed like brother and sister" said Hanna shaking her head and walking over.
Alison gestured with her hands for Layla to come over and Spencer did the same to Victoria,
"Tori, this is Layla and her mother Alison DiLaurentis."
"And Layla this is Victoria and her mother Spencer Hastings"
"Call me Tori" said Tori bluntly but sweetly.
"We have met before, but I don't think you would remember, as your mother said I'm Spencer and that's my partner Toby" said Spencer pointing to Toby. Hanna poked her head in and said "Got any idea when Aria and Ezra will be here?"
"You're right… They should be here by now." As if on cue Aria, Ezra and their daughter Chloe walked into the room,
"Sorry we're so late!" yelped Aria running up and jumping on all the girls, "I missed all of you so much!"
"We missed you too," beamed Emily leaning into another hug. Layla, Tori and Olivia were all introduced to Aria and Chloe then everyone sat down for dinner.
"So have you heard the new Taylor Swift song yet?"
"God Olivia who hasn't!" said all the other girls in unison, they almost fell off their chairs laughing.
"I have a feeling that we're gonna be best friends…" said Tori
"Agreed!" squealed all the girls, so loud that their parents all told them to 'shh', once again they died laughing.
"Are you all coming to Rosewood High?" asked Chloe,
"Yep." replied Layla looking around at the nodding heads.
"I'm sure you'll love it, it's really a great school, once you get past Annabelle Velvet…"
"What's a Annabelle Velvet?" wondered Olivia
"A HUGE pain, that's what a Annabelle Velvet is" announced Chloe taking a sip from her coke while all the other girls just sat giggling.
"But I will warn you," all the girls looked petrified "That my bestie Lara might want to join in with whatever we are doing, so i'd let her." the girls took a sigh of relief. Tori added, "So your gonna hang out with us?"
"I can't have my mums best friends daughters get lost on their first day at a new school can I?" said Chloe sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"So… I have to ask, what are the guys like in this town?" asked Tori looking at Chloe with a wondering expression on her almond face.
"Depends on your taste… Just pick wisely or you might regret it." Chloe looked at Tori with evil eyes, Tori looked very disturbed before Chloe started laughing so loud that every in the restaurant looked at her, her next move showed how brave this girl truly is, she stood up on her chair and took a huge bow. Little did these girls know how much bravery they would need to survive in Rosewood.
