The girls had just left the funeral but had agreed to meet at the grill. It was still raining but Olivia had still gone down to the park with a basketball. Why she tried to play in the rain she would never understand, but she liked the feeling of being the only one there. She took a few shots and dribbled around for while. She didn't even see that she was no longer alone. She took a shot from the half court line and made it.

"Nice." Said the man watching her. He was tall and curly light brown hair. He had brown eyes and Olivia couldn't help looking at him probably a second longer then she should have.

"How long have you been watching me?" She asked, getting somewhat defensive.

"Not long. It just that I don't see many girls playing basketball in the pouring rain wearing fancy clothes." He said. Olivia looked down and let out a little laugh when she remembered she hadn't changed out of her dress from the funeral.

The man walked over to her and took the ball from her. When she gave him a weird look he asked "May I?" She nodded. He went a good three feet behind the half court line, took a shot, and made it in.

"Impressive." Said Olivia.

"Thank. I'm Will." Said the man. He stuck his hand out and Olivia shook it but didn't bother to introduce herself. Most people already knew her as one of April's friends witch is why his next question surprised her.

"And you are?" He asked.

"You must be new in town." Olivia wasn't even sure if she meant it as a joke but Will laughed anyway.

"No actually I just graduated Hollis after 4 years so..." Olivia got the point and was shocked to learn there was anyone in Rosewood that didn't listen to all the pointless gossip.

"So if you graduated then why are you still here, I mean there must be better places to be then Rosewood?"

"Because Rosewood had a teaching position open. It's not exactly what I pictured myself teaching, but it will pay the rent." Said Will and got Olivia to smile for the first time since they found out about April.

"I thought about teaching" said Olivia mostly to keep talking to Will "but I always liked writing more." The last part was true. Olivia loved to write and tell stories. The one problem was April had told so many lies/story to get out of trouble Olivia had always thought April was better at it then her.

"So do I." Said Will. Olivia kept looking for something to say but was to distracted by the way Will was staring at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She finally asked, unable to think of anything else.

"Because I don't even know you're first name and I can already tell you're one of the most interesting people I've ever met. Makes me want to know more."

"Olivia." She said.

The next thing she knew they were making out behind one of the trees in the park.

The three girls were all still in there funeral dresses and were now sitting together at the grill. It was still raining outside but less so now then earlier. They were sitting at a table in the middle of the grill.

"Why was Casey there?" Claire asked.

"I guess she's back." Said Olivia. But Casey wasn't the one she was worried about. "Do you guys think we're suspects?" She asked.

"Why would we be? We didn't do anything wrong." Said Nikki.

"Except lie." Said Olivia. "And besides we were with April the night she died!"

"Ok true, but we were her friends. And we lied about drinking, not about the knowing the murderer." Nikki shot back.

"But we did know about someone who might have wanted to hurt her." Claire brought up quietly.

"Ok first, April said that did actually happen and second everyone in this town wanted to hurt her!" Said Nikki.

"Yeah but probably not enough to kill her." Olivia stopped Nikki from yelling at Claire anymore.

"I don't get it, how does A know something about me only April knew?" Claire finally brought up the one thing they all wanted to forget existed.

"April knew all are secrets." Said Olivia, not answering Claire question at all.

"You don't think she would tell them to somebody, do you?" Asked Nikki.

"You think April told A all our secrets?" Olivia clarified.

"Well before she died, but yeah, I mean if its all stuff only April knew what else makes sense." Said Nikki.

"But who she tell?" Asked Claire. The two other girls looked back to Nikki, who seemed lost in thought as if she had an idea.

"Good on!" Said Olivia.

"No it's, it's not even a person it's an idea and it's stupid." Said Nikki.

"It all we got." Said Claire. Nikki took a deep breath and began.

"I don't know about you guys, but I've always had this weird feeling that there was someone else, like a fifth person in the group. Someone were missing. Maybe April knew her and told her something. Everything." She added the last word on at the end very quietly. There was silence for a little and then Claire spoke.

"I know that feeling." She said. "It like, I guess the only way to describe it is in a book if one of the characters has a long lost twin, they can always sort of tell even if they haven't met yet."

"Yeah that one." Said Nikki.

"So what I'm hearing hear is that April kept a fifth member of are group all of are secrets." Said Olivia mainly to try to wrap her mind around the idea.

"Well April brought all us together. If there was a fifth girl she'd be the one to know about her." Said Claire. After that they stopped trying to figure out who A could be, at least for the night.

"God, how did we tell her all our secrets but she told us nothing." Olivia asked sounding defeated.

"Because she made us feel like we were a part of something special." Said Claire.

"We were." Said Nikki.

"I miss that." Said Olivia.

"Me too." Said Nikki.

"I miss April." Said Claire.

"I knew something bad had happened to her when she didn't come home that night but I- I always thought..." Olivia started to talk but the tears started to fall before she could finish. She wiped them away instantly.

"She'd just show up." Claire finished for her having thought the same thing once.

"I used to think she'd run off with a guy to go live in some mansion somewhere." Said Olivia.

"Couture outfits and massages everyday." Claire added to the fantasy.

"Sitting and the pool with the hot lifeguard." Said Nikki.

"Save me!" They all said in high girly voices with the back of one of there hands on there foreheads. They all began to laugh after that.

They spent the rest of the night telling stories about April. Some of them had happened, some of them were fantasies about what April might have been doing in the year they thought she was missing.

By the time they all left the grill and parted ways, the rain had stopped.


Nikki lived only with her mother. Both her siblings had moved out and her father... was someone she didn't like to talk about or to. Nikki and her mother, Lillian, had a good relation ship. They understood each other. Nikki looked nothing like her mother. Lillian was shorter, she had a, very dark brown, straight bob. Her eyes were blue.

The morning after the funeral Nikki woke up got ready at around the same time her mother did. Then she went down stairs and made coffee. She poured herself a cup, when her mother came down she poured herself a cup. It all seemed to be a normal morning until they were both fixing there makeup in the mirror, but Nikki was much more interested in the TV behind them where detective Lawson was giving a report about April.

"Although April McCarthy's body did show signs of a blunt force head trauma, the cause of her death was suffocation-" Lillian turned off the TV before Nikki could hear anymore. She then turned to Nikki that was looking in the mirror again trying to pretend that nothing had just happened.

"Are you sure you want to go to school today?" Lillian finally asked.

"I'll be ok." Said Nikki not turning around. Her mother came to stand behind her and they were both looking in the mirror.

"Don't listen to the police, ok. They'll catch who did this to April and-" Lillian started but Nikki cut her off.

"Please can we talk about anything else!?" It was said like a question but wasn't one. After that Lillian let it go. She began to play with/fix Nikki's hair.

"You're sisters coming back soon." Said Lillian. Nikki smiled. Her sister, Isabella, moved away from Rosewood after college and never visited much. Other than major holidays Isabella almost never came home, but recently she kept calling saying she had news she wanted to tell them in person. Just then Nikki remembered when she called a few nights ago.

"I thought she wasn't coming back till after homecoming?" She asked ow sounding nervous . Her mother shook her head.

"With Isabella who knows." Said Lillian. Then the doorbell rang. The door didn't need to be answers for them to know it was Violet.

"Go on, or you'll be late." Said Lillian. Nikki left just hoping that if Isabella did come back, she wouldn't asked questions about the blond


(flashback)

/Oscar, most girls thought, was extremely handsome. He had shaggy black hair, and bright ocean blue eyes. He was tall and had amazing abs. The one problem was he had a girlfriend.

Isabella Davis. That was the problem for Nikki. She always saw or heard them cute and it made her sick. She couldn't get Oscar, she couldn't get Dylan and now she had to see it everyday till Isabella left.

That was how Nikki ended up doing what she was doing. The idea had come from April and she thought she'd never do it but here she was. She was in Oscar's room waiting for him to come in. He walked in and froze. Nikki was wearing nothing but a white crop top and white mini skirt. Her hair was done, her makeup was on, her glasses were off.

"Hey." She said in a low whisper.

"What are you doing?" He asked sounding some what amused. Nikki put on a devilish smile and came closer to him.

"Getting what I want." Then her lips were on his, hard. Oscar didn't fight or push her off, he kissed back. Nikki wasn't sure what she had excepted but him to kiss back was definitely not it. She realized she'd guessed right on that when Oscar pushed her away.

"I can't do this." He said.

"Oscar-" Nikki started to say.

"Your sister will kill me."

"She doesn't need to know."

"No she doesn't. She is never going to find out this happened, OK!"

"Ok." Said Nikki now sounding ashamed. Oscar then left.

If only one of them had seen Isabella watching in the door and leaving before Oscar pulled away. The only part of the girl she saw was her blond hair.


Claire walked into the school and the halls were empty. She normally got to school a little earlier than people but today she was shocked to hear voices from down the hall in the chem lab. Claire walked closer and listened at the door way.

"I'm sorry Miss Cook but you can not drop this class!" Claire heard Mr. Brooks yell.

"Why not?" Claire's ears perked up. That was Melody. She recognized the drab and somewhat emotionless voice. The argument went on but Claire had stopped listening. Why did Melody want to leave the class? Did it have something to do with her. Melody left the lab after making some sort of deal with Brooks. There were some more people in the hall now back it didn't stop Melody from turning and making eye contact with Claire.

It shouldn't have shocked Claire to find nothing in Melody's eyes. Melody never showed any emotion, why should her eyes be different. But still some part of Claire had hope that it would be one of those moments in a book where you can see everything a person is feeling when you look in there eyes. All Melody had were walls up. What's she hiding? Claire wondered. She was thing of reasons why when she got tapped on the shoulder.

"Claire?" It was Nikki. Claire looked up at her friend. "You ok?" Nikki questioned further when Claire didn't respond. Violet was behind her. Claire nodded.

"Yeah I'm fine." Said Claire. Nikki nodded and Claire went to her locker.

"What do you think that was about?" Asked Violet when Claire was out of earshot. Violet was short. She had very long straight brown hair and brown eyes. She was pretty, but also very nosey.

"I don't know." Nikki shrugged. Then they walked over to Tina, Scott and Tyler.

"Boys." Said Violet. Nikki elbowed her. "Tina." Violet then added in discussed. Tina and Violet used to be friends. Then Scott happened and, long story short, Tina stole him from Violet and Violet now couldn't stand her (but stayed in the same "group" as her because... popularity).

"Hey Nikki. Vi." Said Tina and then deliberately kissing Scott on the cheek. Normally she would have just put his arm around her but that had happened before Nikki and Violet showed up today.

"Oh, play nice." Said Nikki but she knew there was nothing to stop the soon to be cat fight. And she was right, soon enough Tina and Violet were at each others throats and Scott was trying to simultaneously shoe other people away and keep the girls from killing each other. Nikki used to help too, but she had grown to realize it was pointless. Now she and Tyler stood and watch, normally in silence but today was different.

"So who is she?" Asked Tyler nodding down the crowded school hall. When Nikki looked confused he added: "That girl you were just talking to?" Nikki looked up and saw Claire still standing at her locker. Why is Claire taking so long to get her stuff? I mean really, there was enough time for a fight to break out but not for her to get her stuff for one class.

"Oh Claire?" Said Nikki not really as a question. "Her, me, and Olivia were all friends with-" Nikki started. Tyler had transferred to Rosewood last year, after Aprils disappearance. He had heard everything you could possibly know about April (because no one ever shut up about her) and Nikki and Olivia were both popular, but Claire you never heard anything about Claire. She was just the fourth girl.

"April. I know I heard." Nikki grew quiet. "So that's the fourth girl." Tyler was mostly talking to him self now witch was good because Nikki stop paying attention when she saw Dylan and some of the other senior jocks and cheerleader on the other side of the hallway. April was a cheerleader! She scolded herself. She hadn't even noticed that Tyler had walked away.

The students were clearing out of the hallway to go to class witch was good for Tyler because he could get to her faster. He leaned against the locker next to Claire's but she couldn't see him because her locker door was still open. He made it so Claire could see him.

"Hey Claire." He said with a flirtatious smile. Tyler had shaggy brown hair and eyes that were almost the exact same color maybe a little darker. He was the star swimmer and had the body to match. Most girls would have gone crazy had Tyler come up to them like that but Claire just looked scared.

"Why are you talking to me!" She quickly began to grab her stuff for class.

"Because you're hot." Said Tyler not sounding fazed at all by the tone in Claire's voice. Claire frantically closed her locker and walked away. Tyler, not taking no for an answer, followed and put his arm around her, witch she immediately shook off. Tyler didn't stop.

"You wanna get dinner at the grill tonight?" He tried.

"I have a boyfriend!" Claire said quickly. Tyler didn't looked impressed.

"Oh yeah. Then how come you are always walking around alone?" Now he was almost challenging her and Claire looked obviously scared of him but he seemed to be oblivious to that.

"Long distance." Claire said trying to sound braver than she was, but not because she thought she could drive Tyler away like that, but because she could hear the clunky boots coming up the hall, and there was only one person who wore those. And she was probably the last person Claire wanted to have thinking she was weak.

"But if-" Tyler started but stopped when Melody pushed- actually more shrewd- Claire out of the way.

"You have ten seconds to get out of my sight or I will personally cut off you're dick and sell it on eBay." Claire looked horrified and some of the students still in the hallway started to laugh, but Melody had her emotionless bitch face and tone on the whole time. Tyler ran away. Melody began to talk quietly enough so that only Claire could hear her.

"Your welcome." Said Melody and then she continued walking but Claire ran after.

"Why are you over here? I just saw you go in the other direction. And what were you doing here so early?" Claire asked frantically. She was much more interested in the second question and she knew Melody knew that.

"Ok one at a time. First question: lockers that way," she pointed behind them "class is this way." she pointed in front of them. "As for the second question: if you have the information to ask it, you have the information to answer it. So why don't you asked what you really want the answer to." Claire had known whatever Melody said would make her sad, but this just shocked and confused her. But Melody was completely right and she knew it.

"I- I don't-" Claire started off shaky.

"You wanna know if your the reason I'm trying to get out of chem. Am I right?" Claire had no idea how Melody had known that but she was just gonna let it go because she was pretty sure she was about to get an answer.

"Yeah." Said Claire.

"You were not." Said Melody. Claire let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Then why do you want to leave?" Claire asked but time was working against her. They were now in front of the calc classroom.

"Latin classrooms down the hallway. See you in chem." Said Melody as she walked into the classroom. As she did Claire was left with one strange thought. How did she know I have first period Latin?


Olivia ran into the locker room late. She had first period gym (which was the worst class ever to have first). The only thing that made it somewhat tolerable was the fact that Kristina had first period gym too, and was always later than Olivia. Kristina had curly red hair that was obviously dyed without belching what ever was underneath it but no one every pointed that out. She had freckles and brown eyes that were framed by pretty dark brown glasses. She was strangely short for a basketball player, but then again, so was Olivia. Kristina came running into the locker room so late that she and Olivia were the only ones left.

"Hey." Said Kristina.

"Hey." Said Liv.

"So I heard about Lewis, are you ok?" Asked Kristina as she started to get her stuff and start changing. Of cores she found out! Olivia thought to herself. Kristina was one of the nosiest people Olivia had ever met.

"Who told you?" Olivia sighed.

"Honey if you only told one person who do you think told me?"

"Dylan." Olivia rolled her eyes.

"Dylan." Kristina nodded. "So do you know why he's with the wicked witch of the west?" Kristina asked going back to Lewis.

"Kristina!"

"What!"

"She's my sister!"

"So!" Olivia raised her eyebrows.

"Fine." Said Kristina as she closed her locker and linked her arm with Olivia's "So I heard the new teachers really hot." Said Kristina.

"Hmm hot gym teacher... does that mean six pack?"

"It better!" They were both laughing as they walked into the gym. They hadn't even looked at the new teacher but he was about to scowled them when they walked in. That was, until he looked up and saw who it was.

"Holy crap." Said a voice Olivia could recognize anywhere.

Her gym teacher was Will.

All eyes in the gym had gone from Will to Olivia. She didn't know if she would've gotten out of it had it not been for the loudspeaker.

"Will the following students please come to the office: Olivia Avalon, Nicole Davis, Claire Raymond." Olivia ran out of the gym and into the hallway way to fast. Nikki then joined her and then Claire. They all started walking but Claire's phone beeped and then she froze. Olivia looked at Claire as if telling her to read it.

"Dead girls walking ~A." Claire read the text. The girls exchanged worried glances before continuing on to the principles office.


Detective Lawson was leaning against a desk with a file in her hand. The three girls were sitting on a couch in front of her.

"So when you two woke up in the garage" she pointed to both sides of Olivia where Claire and Nikki were. "April was missing, and so was Olivia."

"Not exactly" said Claire "April was missing but we could still hear Olivia downstairs."

"But she was still not with you two." Lawson pointed to Claire and Nikki again.

"Yes I woke up before them and I realized that April was missing and-" Olivia started.

"And you went looking four her." Lawson finished. Olivia gave a small smile.

"That's what happened." She said. Lawson nodded.

"I gathered that." Said Lawson. "Is there an easier way to get to April's house from Olivia's that she could have used?" Asked Lawson. It was a valid question. April and Olivia's houses were not that close.

"Yes." Said Olivia. The other two looked at her in shock. Olivia and April had never told them about the path. "There was this woodsy area to the side of her house be the same space is behind mine. One day when April and I figured that we decided two move some weeds and sticks and make a path between our houses. And it worked." Detective Lawson nodded and seemed to scribble something down in the file. She then moved back to that night.

"So you girls were having a sleepover?" All three nodded.

"So four teenage girls had a sleepover wear three of them actually got some sleep. Sound odd." Said Lawson.

"We were just tired. It can happen to us humans." Said Nikki.

"Tired. Is that how you remember it, Claire?"

"Yeah." Claire said quietly while nodding.

"Look we told you everything we know just like the night April went missing." Said Olivia.

"You see that's the problem. With the exception of that piece about the path, it's almost exactly what you said last year. Almost like it was rehearsed." Said Lawson. With that she left.

"He knows were lying." Said Olivia. After being questioned the girls had gone back to class. Now it was lunch and not one of them had calmed down.

"Lying is not a crime." Said Nikki.

"It is when your giving false statements to the police, it's called obstruction of justice." Said Olivia.

"Oh please we lied about drinking. It's not like we know who killed her." Said Nikki.

"We know someone who might have." Said Claire.

"Did we not just talk about this at the grill?" Said Nikki. That got them all quiet.

"Why so quiet?" Asked the perky evil voice of Casey Grey. They hadn't even seen her come near the table but now here she was.

"May I?" Casey asked putting her hand on the empty chair next to Olivia and across from Nikki. The three girls all nodded and she sat. Casey had wavy light brown hair that fell a few inches above her elbow. She had hazel eyes and was a pretty average height.

"April came to visit me after the accident." Casey said very nonchalantly. Most people were scared to talk about the accident in front of Casey even if they'd been on the other side of the world when it happened, but Casey could just bring it up like it was nothing.

"Seriously?" Nikki asked.

"Yeah she was the one who told me it was James." Said Casey. The three girls froze all wondering why April had gone to see Casey.

"W-when did you get back Casey?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah and like where were you for the past year? You like fell off the face of the earth." Nikki added.

"We'll for the past year I've been living with my aunt in New York. I just wanted to get away from everything here, to many memories. And James. But then she moved and I came back here to live with my dad. I got back a few days before the funeral." Said Casey.

"And what about James?" Asked Claire.

"All I know is if James does come back, my dad will make him pay for everything his done to me." Said Casey. Everything. The word hung in Nikki's mind, did that mean something else had happened. Then she remembered.

"So it's true then." Said Nikki. Casey looked at her in confusion so Nikki elaborated. "The rumors from last summer." Casey still didn't understand. "You and him- he um- he made you-"

"Nikki!" Olivia finally realized what was happening and cut Nikki off.

"What?" Said Nikki. "It's just a question."

"Not one you ask!?" Said Olivia.

"Jeez sorry, mom!" Said Nikki. Olivia rolled her eyes. They both appeared to be oblivious to the fact that Casey had figured it out too and was now looking around awkwardly, but Claire was not.

"I'm gonna go." Said Casey. She then took her tray and left.


"Hi." Said Olivia. School was over and now she was back in the gym doing the last thing she really wanted to do. Will was alone, sitting on the bleachers, with a clipboard. He hadn't noticed that she'd come in till she spoke.

"You told me you went to Hollis." Said Will.

"No I said I thought about teaching and that I liked to write." Said Olivia.

"Look I think your amazing, Liv. When I first met you I thought who is this girl." Olivia joined him on the bleachers and took his hand. For a second they just sat there looking in each others eyes. Olivia felt like she could have stayed in that moment forever. No A, no Cynthia, no Casey. Just her and Will, but she knew that could never be an option.

"I'm still that girl, ok nothings changed." Said Olivia.

"Everything's changed, Olivia. I'm your teacher. Theirs no way this can work."

"Will" Olivia said "I know you feel like this is right, too."

"But it isn't." Said Will as he took his hand away. "We just can't." Olivia heard him say as he left the room.


Claire was about to leave, but she just had to walk past the chem lab. There alone was Melody working on some sort project that involved a blue liquid that was sitting on the desk. She had headphones on and she didn't seem to notice Claire come in. Claire knocked on the open door and hoped it was loud enough for Melody to hear with music on. Apparently it was because Melody looked up and moved the headphones from her ears to around her neck.

"Oh hey." She said and then went back to the liquid however keeping the headphones off.

"Why you still here?" Asked Claire walking up to the desk but staying on the opposite side from Melody.

"I made a deal with Brooks. So if I finish this, I can transfer out of the class." Said Melody. Claire was surprised to fin out she was sad to hear Melody was leaving the class. They still had English together but they never really talked in there.

"Can I help?" Asked Claire.

"You want to?" Asked Melody.

"Sure." Said Claire.

"Alright." Said Melody. Claire looked at the instructions and saw the next thing needed was water. She reach for the beaker at the same time Melody reached for it. Soon the water was out of the beaker and on to the floor and things on the table.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" Said Claire sounding much more panicked then she would have liked.

"Relax it's just water." Said Melody as she moved some papers. Claire grabbed Melody's notebook and started to dry it off. But when she flipped it over what she found shocked her.

"Did you draw these!?" She asked. The drawings kind of have her the creeps but that didn't change the fact that they were amazing.

"Yeah." Said Melody. "Their supposed to look like this." Melody then took out her phone and showed Claire the album she'd been listening to. Claire put the album next to the phone and was completely in awe.

"That's amazing." Said Claire.

"I've seen closer." Said Melody.

"Where?" Claire didn't believe Melody could have ever seen a more similar drawing to the album then the one on the back of her notebook.

Melody shook her head. "You wouldn't know him." She said.

"Well I think that yours is amazing. I don't know who this other-" Claire had begun to walk around the table as she spoke as to be on the same side as Melody, but she got to the other side she slipped on the water they had spilled earlier. She caught herself on Melody's shoulders at the same time Melody caught her by putting her hands on Claire's waist. Claire felt her breath hitch at Melody's touch. They're faces were less than inches apart. Claire found herself focusing on all the details of Melody's face: the icy blue eyes, the gap in her teeth, the few strands of purple hair that had fallen out from behind her ear. Claire felt herself getting lost.

"Claire." Said Melody making Claire snap back to reality.

"Yeah." Said Claire breathlessly.

"I think your ok to get up now." Said Melody as she slow nodded her head. Claire then realize that Melody had taken her hands away. Claire quickly moved her hands away and stepped back.

"I should go." Said Claire.

"Ok." Melody shrugged and then went back to the project. Claire began to leave the room but stopped in the door. Should I... Thought Claire. Yes.

"Melody?" Claire asked turning back to look at her.

"Yeah." Said Melody.

Just ask her out! Thought Claire.

"What band is that? The one who's album covers you draw?" /Wimp!/ she scolded herself.

"Circa Survive." Said Melody. Claire nodded then left the room. She started walking and then her phone buzzed.

Afraid of getting rejected... AGAIN!
~A

There was an attachment. When Claire opened it she found a picture of her and Melody of when Claire fell and Melody caught her. But from the angle it was taken at, it looked like they were kissing.


Olivia walked back to her house after her conversation with Will. She appeared to be the only one home so she went up to her room to read. Maybe she could finish To Kill a Mockingbird before dinner. After awhile she heard someone come up the stairs and into her room.

"Lewis." Said Olivia with a smile when he walked in. A while ago she would would have gotten furious at him the minute they were alone, but then she met Will. Yes, Cynthia can have whoever she wants as long as I can have Will thought Olivia.

"Hey, Liv." Said Lewis. Then he just stood there for a few awkward moments.

"So are you just gonna stand there, or did you come up here to see me about something." Said Olivia as she closed her book and swung her legs over the side of her bed.

"I just wanted to be sure you were ok with the whole me and Cynthia thing, you know cause we haven't talked sense we broke up-"

"You have to be in a relation ship with someone to break up with someone." Said Olivia who was now standing in front of Lewis. "I mean we went out a few times but, we were never really a couple." Olivia put her book on her desk which put her right between the desk and Lewis. Her back was to him.

"But you can't deny, we have amazing chemistry." Said Lewis and before Olivia could say or do anything else Lewis had moved her hair away and was kissing the back of neck.

Cynthia and her mom, Georgina, had just coming home. They been out all day working on some wedding plans and just talking about what life was going to be like after the wedding. They walked into the house and everything seemed fine.


"I just don't know if I like-" Cynthia started but mother then shushed her.

"Listen." Whispered Georgina. Cynthia could hear screaming of No!, Stop!, and I don't want to! coming from upstairs. It was Olivia. The two women opened the door to Olivia room to find Lewis forcing himself on Olivia.

"LEWIS!" Georgina screamed. Lewis let go of Olivia and she immediately ran into her mothers arms. Cynthia stood in shock. Lewis just stood there.

"Get. Out. Of. My. House." Said Georgina in a scary, slow, quiet voice.

"Georgina-" Lewis started.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" This time Georgina was full on screaming.
It was enough to get Lewis to run from the room.

"Wow Olivia." Said Cynthia.

"Cynthia-" Olivia started.

"Save it. I know that you and Lewis went out. I should have known you'd do something like this." Cynthia snapped.

"You think I wanted this?" Olivia whispered. Cynthia let out an exasperated sigh and left the room.


It was late at night. Claire was sitting in her window seat. The cat was on her lap. The cats real name was Cheesecake but no one ever called her that, they all had there own names for her. She was an fluffy white cat.

Claire was thinking over everything that had happened today. Should she have kissed Melody? Did Melody want to kiss her? What would happen if someone saw that picture? What would happen if Melody saw it? Claire was mulling over all these questions when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Asked Claire.

"Jovie." Her sisters voice called.

"Come in." Said Claire. Jovie came in. Jovie was short (mind you she is only eleven). She long dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and pale skin.

"Oh there's Snowball." Said Jovie as she walked in a sat on the other side of the window seat. Claire smiled.

"April always called her fuzzball." Said Claire.

"I'm sorry." Said Jovie. "About April."

"I'd say I want it all to go back to normal but I don't know what that feels like." Said Claire.

"Have you talked to Bret?"

"Bret." Claire said shaking her head.

"What?" Asked Jovie. Claire raised an eyebrow. "Come on, tell me. Aren't sisters supposed to give each other relationship advise?"

"Yeah, but you don't exactly have any dating experience." Said Claire.

"So?" Asked Jovie a hopeful look in her eyes.

"When Bret's here, I love him and everything's great but when he's not..." Claire trailed off.

"Is there another guy?" Asked Jovie. Claire shook her head. Jovie's next question shocked Claire beyond belief.

"Is there another girl?" Jovie asked. Claire had no words. "The day after Bret left and you were throwing yourself a pity party that should have involved downing 1,000 pints of ice cream and weren't, April came over. She made you eat and then... I saw you two in your room."

"How much did you see?!" Claire asked not putting any space in between her word. She sounded terrified.

"Just you two making out. Why was there more?"

"Umm... no." Said Claire. Jovie bought it.

"Can I ask?" Asked Jovie.

"Ask what?"

"Are you gay?" Claire took a pause, her mind went from April to Bret to Melody in seconds.

"I don't know." She answered truthfully. Jovie nodded.

"So tell me about her." Said Jovie. Claire thought for a moment.

"Fine."


Lewis had been thrown out after the incident. Cynthia still wasn't talking to Olivia, or anyone for that matter. She just sat around the house being a sad sack. Olivia had gone out for coffee. It was just cloudy when she left her house, now it was pouring down rain. She stood and looked for a second before started running. Normally she liked the rain, but today she was just sick of it. She looked on to the street and inside one of the cars was Will. He saw her too. The car went up a little further pulled over and the door swung open. Olivia ran to the car, so great full to Will. Then he drove the car onto a small street. They looked at each other for a minute and then passionately, intensely, they kissed. And kissed. And kissed. Neither of them knew what they were doing, what was going to happen, or how they could do this. But they knew, they needed to try.


Melody walked into the grill not paying attention to anything. She didn't see the person she was about to bump into.

"Sorry." She said when they did. Then she saw who it was.

"It's alright." Said Casey Grey with a some what evil smile. "I'm Casey. " She said.

"I know. I'm Melody."

"Are you?" Said Casey in a bitch voice. She then left.


So sorry this took so long. I had the whole thing written and edited and then my computer shut down before I saved and I needed to redo everything.

Just so you guys know I might need to change some canon for this story to work. Like last week we learned Radley closed down and I was going to make Radley an important place in this story. So I might change canon or I'll make it an abandon building. Either way. I also have a guess about A that I really hope I'm wrong wrong about but if I'm right... I don't even know. Anyway I'm gonna try to keep it canon but I'll tell you if I change anything. Right now assume everythings the same.

Thank you to sarahschneider2012 and venna26 for following and favoriting my story!

And now I need to go because there is a new episode on right now. Please review!
