Chapter 1: Secrets

"Are you sure this is safe Scarlet? I thought your mom banned you from coming in this barn." Joked Sydney looking at an abandoned barn, Scarlet took a deep breath "relax guys... it's just a barn" she opened the door and turned the lights on. Sydney, Stella, Scarlet and Mila felt a sudden chill. "This place is so... huge. How come your mom didn't let you in here?" asked Stella taking her coat off, Mila sat down on a old sofa "this must be full of garbage" she put her hand down through the gap and she found a braclet. "A is for Ali- who is Ali?" Sydney walked over to Mila "my mom told me that a girl called Ali DiLaurents went missing, could this be-" They all laughed "lets get out of here- mom would freak" Scarlet gasped, Spencer was standing there and she didn't look happy. "You are in so much trouble, when I say that your not aloud in here... I mean it!" the four girls walked out of the barn in shame. Mila still had the braclet.

Line Break

The next mourning when Sydney was coming home from Scarlet's she heard shouting. She decided to stay in the hallway and listen to what they were saying. It was her mom and a man. Aria opened the door "get out! You know not to come here!" Aria froze so did Erza. "Mom? Whats going on?" She turned to face an angry Erza leaving the appartment. "Come inside" Aria gave Sydney some coffee "that man, his name is Erza. An old friend of mine. You might say ex boyfriend" Sydney looked surprised "is he my-" Aria nodded "he is, but I don't want you to talk to him. He's bad news." Meanwhile in Scarets house, Scarlet was looking for some textbooks. "Dad, have you seen my chemistry textbook? Or my English?" Toby stood there and he pointed to the top, "in the attic." Scarlet went up there, she saw loads of boxes "I'm going to be up here all night!" She started looked thourgh cardboard boxes. "Mila! Are you awake. I was thinking that we could go to rent a movie?" Mila came racing downstairs "why don't we just order a pizza? I think we need a talk." Emily looked worried but tried to hide it from Mila. They sat down in the living room and Mila reached into her pocket to show Emily the braclet. "Did you know a person called Ali?" she handed Emily the braclet "where did you get this?" she asked, Mila raised an eyebrow "I want you to tell me everything about your past..."

Line Break

"It's a long story. You wouldn't understand" Emily sighed, she walked over to the bookcase and pulled out a book, her diary. "This is the diary that I kept when I was sixteen. This will tell you everything. And mean everything." In Stella's house, Hanna had gone out leaving Stella to look after Caleb. "Look what I found! One of mom's old home movies, can we watch it?" Asked Caleb, Stella smilied "yeah go on." Caleb put the DVD on, a sixteen year old Hanna was with Aria, Emily, Spencer and a girl they had never seen before, they where in the barn that Stella was in yesterday. "Tell us a secret Em?" asked the blonde girl drinking some soda "oh come on. Friends tell each other secrets. It's what keeps us close- I know what Hanna's secret is. She stuffs her face every night. That's what makes her so fat" Aria rolled her eyes "don't be so mean Alison!" Stella paused it "Maybe we shouldn't watch this Caleb" she ran for the phone.

"How could you not tell me this? Mom your gay!" Mila looked like she was about to cry "Like I said you wouldn't understand. I'm going for a drive" Emily ran out the door, Mila threw the book on the floor "how could she keep a secret from me?" In Scarlets attic Scarlet looked through the last box marked 'Old Memories' she ripped open the box, inside where letters, every single one marked A.
