Meggie's POV

I sit on my bed and have a fun and carefree conversation over the phone with Zach.

"Have you picked out your homecoming dress?" Zach asks me curiously.

"Not yet." I say as I twirl my hair.

"You'll look beautiful in anything." He tells me sweetly.

"Thanks." I say as my cheeks turn bright red.

A startled gasp escapes my lips when my mother Emily enters my bedroom.

"I've got to go." I say as I hang up the phone.

"Who was that?" My mom asks me curiously.

"A friend." I say quickly.

"Well I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Riley, and I'm sorry to say that they're true." My mom says with a sigh.

"Taylor told me." I say with a sad smile.

"I know you and Riley have spent a lot of time together lately, and I just want to make sure that you're handling this okay." My mom tells me gently.

"I mean I'm not exactly okay with it, but I'm doing okay. I just feel bad for Riley." I say truthfully.

"Aria and Ezra will take good care of her, and she's lucky to have you as her friend." My mom says before kissing my forehead.

"If she ever calls me back." I say with a sigh.

"Give her time Meggie, this is probably really hard for her." My mom tells me seriously.

"I know, I just wish she'd let me help her." I confess.

"You'll get your chance." My mom assures me.

"While we're talking, I have something important to tell you." I say as I avoid eye contact.

"I'm listening." My mom tells me.

"There is this boy who I know through school, and he asked me to homecoming. I said yes, and we're kind of going out." I blurt out nervously.

"What's his name?" My mom asks me curiously

"Zach Danssert, he is a junior." I say with a blush.

"As long as you're happy so am I, but please don't get to serious to fast." My mom begs.

"I won't." I say as I give my mom a hug.

"I love you Meggie." My mom says softly.

"I love you too." I tell her.

Line Break

I sit with Zach in his living room, and we try to decide what movie to watch.

"What about a romance." Zach asks me with a flirtatious smile.

"No, they're way to sappy." I say with an eye roll.

"What type of movie do you like to watch?" He asks me curiously.

"Horror." I say immediately.

"W-why?" Zach asks as his face falls.

"Those movies make my life seem normal." I say with a chuckle.

"Luck for you, my brother loves horror movies. Pick one out of this box." Zach says as he hands me a box full of movies.

I haven't seen this one." I say as I take out The Shinning.

"No way!" Zach says as he shakes his head furiously.

"What's wrong, are you scared?" I tease.

"No! It's just that this movie is terrifying, and I don't want you to get scared." Zach says defensively.

"I'll be okay." I say with an eye roll.

Zach puts the movie in, and wraps his arms around me. I constantly glance over at him, and he looks absolutely terrified.

"We can turn it off if you want, I really don't mind." I say as I squeeze his hand.

"Are you kidding? I love this!" Zach says as he forces a smile.

"Tell me if you change your mind." I say before giving his a quick kiss on the lips.

About half way through the movie, I see a shadow watching us from the window.

"I think I see someone." I say as I point towards the window.

"I think the movie is starting to get to you." He says with a chuckle.

"I'm not kidding Zach! Someone is out there!" I argue.

At that moment, a baseball flies through the window.

"Oh my God!" I say terrified.

Zach sprints outside, and comes back in a moment later.

"Who was it?" I ask him.

"The person ran before I could get a good look at him." Zach says with a sigh.

"What are you holding in your hand?" I ask as I gesture towards the piece of paper that he is holding.

"It's a letter from someone named A, I found it on my doorstep." Zach says with a shrug.

"You can't read that!" I say panicked.

"Why not?" He asks confused.

"A isn't a good person." I say as tears begin to stream down my face.

"What's wrong?" Zach asks as he wraps his arms around me.

"Please throw that letter away, if I mean anything to you, you'll listen to me." I say through my tears.

Zach stares at the letter, before tearing it in half and throwing it into the fire.

Line Break

I'm on my way home from Zach's house, when I hear my phone ring. I immediately pick up when I see that it's Taylor.

"What's up?" I ask as I answer the phone.

"Haley is at my house, and we'd like it if you came over." Taylor tells me seriously.

"Is everything okay?" I ask concerned.

"Come over." She snaps.

Line Break

When I arrive at Taylor's house, her and Haley are in the middle of a serious conversation.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" I beg.

"This A thing has gotten way out of hand." Taylor says as she shakes her head.

"Have you gotten any more texts?" I ask panicked.

"No." Haley and Taylor say as the same time.

"So what's the problem?" I ask confused.

"Nothing, everything is just peachy! Our friend just got raped, that's the problem!" Haley screams furiously.

"I know, and it's horrible. But I don't see how this has anything to do with A." I confess.

"Sam Kahn is A!" Taylor exclaims.

"How are you so sure?" I ask unconvinced.

"He confessed to planting the drugs in James's bag, he is holding Serena's secret over her, and he raped Riley!" Haley exclaims.

"That does sound like A." I says with a sigh.

"We know who the monster is, what do you think we should do about it?" Taylor asks us seriously.

"I say we call Sam and have him over here." Haley says immediately.

"Are you crazy? That boy is dangerous." I say as I shake my head.

"I don't care about getting hurt anymore, all I want to do is kick that bastard in the balls." Haley says passionately.

"I agree. We have to convince Sam that we aren't afraid of him, or this nightmare will never end!" Taylor exclaims.

I immediately pick up my cell phone and dial Sam's number.

"Hello?" Sam asks when he answers the phone.

"This is Meggie Fields." I say nervously.

"Hey." He says confused.

I stare at Taylor and Haley, unsure of what to do next.

"We're at Taylor's house, I suggest you get your ass over here." Haley says as she takes the phone from me.

"Or what?" Sam asks obviously annoyed.

"Or we'll tell everyone about how you've been threatening us." Taylor says furiously.

"Threatening you?" Sam asks confused.

"The messages from A." I clarify.

"You're getting them too?" Sam asks shocked.

What did you think? Is Sam really get texts from A, or is he A? Just so you all know, the order of the POVs is always Riley, Haley, Taylor, Meggie. I'll update as soon as I get 20 reviews. Thanks for reading :)
