AN: So, this is a new story I'm writing to replace We Can Make it Through. For those of you who read that story, I'm sorry, but I had to delete it. I wasn't going anywhere with that story and I had no interest in continuing it along with The Clare Edwards Story.
But, this story is something that I just had to write! It popped up in my head while watching a few Lifetime movies with my grandma. None of the movies were like this, but I somehow get weird ideas that has nothing to do what I'm watching, reading, or doing.
This takes place after the season finale. The rest you will find out about in the story.

Chapter One: He's Back!
"So, you two are back together?" Alli asks Clare as they walk down the halls.
It's Monday morning and the girls have just came back from break. Clare had just finished telling Alli about her and Eli getting back together.
Alli was, and still is, kind of shocked. She for sure thought she and Drew were going to get together, but it's obviously he's with Becky. Although Alli thinks this is wrong, she doesn't say anything else about it. She'll keep her mouth shut and pretend that she doesn't even care, even though she does. It just bothers her that Drew is dating his dead brother's ex-girlfriend and the only reason that's his ex is because he's gone.
"Yeah, we're back together," Clare beams, "and it just feels right."
"Now you two can go on double dates with me and Dallas," Alli replies and Clare gives her a small smile.
"I just don't want this time to be like last."
"I doubt you can go run to Drew now," Alli jokes.
Clare rolls her eyes and stops at her locker. She puts in her combination and opens her locker. Alli does the same. After grabbing their books, they close their locker and head off to their first hour.
While walking down the halls, Alli felt someone watching her. She turns around, but she doesn't see anyone. She shrugs it off and goes into her class.
During first hour, she couldn't help but wonder if someone was watching her or if she was just being paranoid. Clare kept asking Alli if she was okay. Alli reassured her throughout of class that she was fine, just a bit paranoid.
The two didn't talk during the remainder of class, but Clare did keep an eye on her best friend. She looked worried and scared. Every few seconds she would glance around the classroom and look out of the window. She wondered what Alli could be so paranoid about.
First hour was over pretty quickly. As Clare and Alli walked out of the classroom, they were greeted by Jenna. The girls briefly chatted as they walked to their locker.
"Where were you earlier?" Alli asks Jenna. "We didn't see you at the lockers."
"I was with Connor," Jenna responds.
Alli nods and goes to her locker. She puts in her combination and a note falls out and lands near her feet. She bends down to pick it up. As she slowly unfolds the note, curiosity creeps on her.
"A love note from Dallas?" Jenna questions.
"I have no clue," Alli responds slowly. She opens the note and her body stiffens as she reads it. Her heart starts to thump loudly and she feels tears starting to prick her eyes. Her breath is caught in her throat and she blinks twice to make sure she's reading this right.
Hello Allia,
I'm back and I'm coming for you. I will do anything to get you back. Anything!
"H—He's back," Alli whispers.
"Who's back?" Clare asks.
Alli hands her the note and Clare looks horrified. She hands the note to Jenna and rushes to Alli side. She wraps her arms around her and allows her best friend to cry in her chest. After Jenna reads the note, she folds it back and puts it in her pocket. She has the same look at Clare has. She's horrified—angry!
The girls thought for sure that Leo was gone. They thought he'd never come back, but now he's here! He's somewhere in the school, but where? While Alli is too busy crying, Clare is looking around. She's trying to find any sign of Leo, but she can't. She doesn't know where he is.
"We have to go tell Dallas and Simpson," Jenna tells Alli.
"O—Okay," she sniffles.
Clare, Jenna, and Alli walk around the school to look for Dallas. They spot him at his locker talking to Drew and Becky. When Dallas spots Alli, he immediately runs over towards her. He wipes away her tears and asks her what's wrong.
"Leo's back," she whispers.
"What?" Dallas growls. "How do you know?"
Jenna hands him the note. Dallas unfolds it and reads it. He angrily crumples it and stuffs it in his pocket. He clenches his fists and gets ready to take off until Alli grabs his arm.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find that fuckin' bastard and kill him," Dallas spits out with venom in his voice.
"N—No! You don't know what he's capable of," Alli tries to reason, but her voice is wavering. "Let's go tell Simpson."
"Fine let's go."
Dallas tells Becky and Drew what's going on. They all decide to go tell Simpson together. As they reach Simpson's office, they see Connor coming down the hall. Jenna waves him over and once he reaches them, she tells him what's going on.
Dallas knocks on Simpson's door, but he doesn't answer. He slowly opens it and sees Simpson is tied up! He also has blood seeping through his chest. He's losing his conscious. Clare gasps and grips Alli's hand; Jenna grips the other. Alli is too busy crying. She's petrified!
Connor opens his mouth to speak. "We have to call—"
Connor is cut off by the power cutting off. Alli snatches her hands away from her best friends and runs in the halls. She hears footsteps and whips her head around to see Clare is standing next to her.
"Why is he doing this?" Alli cried. Her heart is racing, her palms are sweating, and her breathing is becoming erratic.
One by one, each classroom door opens. Students pile into the hall, wondering what's going on. The teachers come out too, and they're getting ready to march to Simpson's office and demand to know what's going on.
"He's dead!" Alli screams. "He killed Simpson!"
Students gasp and they start to murmur amongst themselves. Alli looks up at Clare to see she's just as scared as she is. She's trying to put on this brave face and pretend that she's fine, but she isn't. She's afraid just like Alli.
"Our cells aren't working," Dallas tells them as he comes out of the office.
Jenna, Connor, Becky, and Drew come out behind him. They hold up their cells to tell them that they don't have any service. Alli mumbles a curse word under her breath and pushes herself away from Clare.
"What are we going to do?" Jenna asks.
"We have to get out of here," Dallas yells loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone runs wild and tries to get out, but the doors are locked. They try just about every door. Dallas yells nothing but curse words as he tries to think of another plan.
"Guys, what is going on?" Imogen asks as she walks over with Jack.
"Leo, my abusive ex-husband, is back," Alli whispers.
"That creep from France?" Maya asks as she pushes through the crowd of people.
Alli nods her head. "He's back and—"
"Alli," his voice echoes through the school. Everyone looks around, but they don't see him. Alli cringes; his voice sounds like nails scratching a chalkboard. "I'm coming for you; even if I have to kill off everyone one by one. You will be mine, again, Allia."
