~ With Keyara ~
Keyara was unconscious now and wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. She was almost dead, the air was thin, and she was freeziong now curled up holding a fozen pig. Over the night the pig had lost all warmth it once had and was just as cold if not colder than Keyara.
~ With the Montgomery's ~
It was now eight and school was starting, the police had convinced Aria, and Mike to go to school and continue on like nothing happened. They tried to get Ella and Byron to go to work but they didn't budge. Linnea had gone to work, she was a student helper in the high school. She went to the basement right away she went to the science freezer Keyara was in she unlocked the door with the key she had she opened the door and pulled down the little blind thing then shut and locked the door again. Now nobody could tell Keyara was in there because they couldn't see in it. Linnea had run into an officer on the way up.
" Linnea, what are you doing here?" The officer asks.
" I was just trying to find the janitor, there was a spill in one of the class rooms upstairs and it was all sticky but, the janitor isn't at his office." Linnea smoothly lies.
" Okay well did you notice anything off down there?"
" No, why?"
" I was just asking. Keyara's not downt here is she?"
" Not that I know of, I didn't look for her though."
" Okay well I'll do a quick look. I hope you find the janitor."
" Yeah, thanks. It seems so little compaired to Keyara missing." Linnea says leaving.
" She's been missing exactly twenty four hours now. It doesn't look good, just don't tell her parents that." The officer says.
" I won't tell a soul. After all you still have to find her body alive or dead before you give up."
" That's true, well I'll see you around Linnea. Tell you're boyfriend we're not going to give up until we find his daughter." The officer says walking down the dark hall.
" I will."
Linnea then hurries to her office and sits there for a bit before she heads off to calulus 12 to help some students. After a few minutes of helping a boy who is mentaly slow she didn't even have a speck of remorse left for Keyara. Before she knew it the school day was over and there were still no leads on Keyara. That made Linnea sickly happy. She left the class room and saw Keyara's Bio teacher talking to an officer.
" You're Keyara's Biology teacher right?" The officer asks.
" Yes, I heard she's missing. The poor girl, I feel terrible. I was giving her a hard time, we do it all the time. Just bug each other back and fourth. She's my favourite student and I hae told her that on many occasions just like she has told me more than once that I'm her favourite teacher." " When was the last time you saw Keyara?"
" Um yesterday morning. Class had just started and I was telling the class that our new lab coats were in. Keyara asked if I had ordered some of them in pink. Of course I said yes just messing with her, I told her that I ordered some in pink the same day pigs learned to fly. She knew I joking then, she asked if she could dye hers. I said yes but in her free time. I got back to teaching the class and I said we were disecting baby pigs, then asked the class if they knew what baby pigs were called. Keyara raisedher hand and answered. Piglets. She then told me she would rather disect an adult pig than a piglet so I told her that she could disect the adult pig if she went to the basement to get it. I gave her the keys and she left. A few minutes later a woman came to the class and said Keyara wasn't feeling wel and that Keyara was going to go home. She gave me the keys to the science equipment room and took Keyara's stuff." " Do you know who the woman was?"
" She looked familiar but I can't remember her name."
" Are you sure Keyara ever left the science equipment room?"
" Keyara's car was gone by the end of first period. So I assumed Keyara drove herself home. Why?"
" Did you see Keyara drive her car away?" " I wasn't paying much attention to it but the driver was about the same size as Keyara so yeah I'm pretty sure it was her."
" About what time was that?"
" About 9:30."
Okay, thank you for your information." The officer says then walks away.
~ With Ella and Byron ~
The officer immdeiately left the school and drove to Ella's house and just walked right in knowing that Ella and Byron Montgomery would want to here the new information right away.
" Ella, Byron we have some new information on your daughters dissaperance." The officer says sitting down.
" What is it?" Ella asks.
" Her biology teacher said a woman cam in and told him that Keyara wasn't feeling well she then grabbed Keyara's things and left. He also said that at about 9:30 a girl matching Keyara's size got into Keyara's car and drove away." The officer says.
" So what are you saying? That she ran away?" Byron asks.
" No I'm just saying it could have been her leaving the school but it could have been someone else."
" Who would take Keyara's car? Only Keyara has the keys to her car. She puts them in her locker every morning." Ella says.
" Does anyone know Keyara's locker combination?"
" Not that I know of. Wait who took Keyara's phone and other stuff? Has any of that turned up?" Ella asks.
" I don't know who took it yet, the teacher said the woman look familiar but couldn't remember her name. And none of Keyara's things have shown up. I have an officer putting a bolo out on Keyara's car. I also have officers driving around down trying to find the car. I think that if we find her car we'll find her phone and every thing else. Hopefully we'll find her too."
" I hope so too, I have a headache I'm going to try and get some sleep, but if you get any more information please wake me up." Ella announces.
" What room is Keyara's if she did come home yesterday there might be something in there that'll suggest where she went or what happened to her." The officer asks.
" Come with me I'll show you." Ella says walking up the stairs the officer following close behind. " This is her room here." Ella says opening the first door on the right.
" Okay, do you mind if I look through her things?"
" If it can tell you where my baby girl is, there's no problem." Ella replies.
" Thank you. Ella you really do look like you need some rest."
" I know I do need to sleep,I think I slept for about five seconds last night. I was just going to curl up in Keyara's bed but I can wait until you're done searching her room before I go to sleep. Besides if you find anything you would have to wake me up anyway." Ella says.
" Okay. Do you know where she'd hide anything?"
" She's a smart girl if she doesn't want me to find something she leaves it in the open knowing I'd look for hiding spots not right infront of me." Ella replies.
" Okay, so she'd probably sit everything on her desk." the officer says then walks to Keyara's desk. " Did she take her laptop to school yesterday?"
" No she rarely takes it to school."
" Okay and this journal when does she normally write in it?"
" She got it after she got out of the hospital three weeks ago. She just wrote new football plays in it."
" I'll search it anyways just in case." the officer flips it open and flips through every single page. " It's clear, like you said just football plays."
" Okay, is there anything else on her desk that could be helpful?"
" There are a lot of stray papers, sticky notes, and books. I'm going to have to go through every thing on here." " I can help you. I can flip through the pages of the books. Shake then see if anything falls out and look at all the pages to see if she wrote on any of them" Ella says.
" I'd appreciate that." The officer says handing Ella five books.
Ella started flipping through the pages of Romeo and Juliet first. She opened the cover and saw a message scrawled in Keyara's handwritting. It read ' This book makes me cry everytime I read it. Shakespear has such beautiful words, I would have loved to meet him.' There was nothing else written until she got to the part where Juliet kills herself. Keyara had written ' I wonder if I'll ever love someone that passionately. I want to feel that love but I also don't I think it would be scary giving all your love to someone and knowing that they literally have your life in their hands.' She also had written ' Juliet kind of reminds me of my mom, filled with so much love and is loved so much. She doesn't know what power she has over the ones she loves and who love her. My mom is my life, I came home from school today and didn't say anything to my mom except mom can you make me a sandwhich, but I know that I could have told her she smelt like crap and she still would have warped the meaning into me saying i love you. Every word I say means the same thing to me and to her. Every word is i love you. Just like everyword Romeo and Juliet say to each other is i love you.' That was all that was written in that book.
Ella put the book down on Keyara's bed and started searching the next book. The Hunger Games, Ella remembered when Keyara got that book. She wasn't sure she wanted to read it but she did anyways. Ella remembered Keyara telling her that it was an amazing book. There was nothing written in this book except on the inside of the back cover. ' Wow, if I ever get murdered I want it to be by someone I love and loves me. That way I know that my last moments were those of love. I don't want some stranger taking my life because there's is a bad one. It wouldn't be fair for me or my family. But if someone that I loved killed me I hope it would be a crime of passion. Besides I think it would make a good story, a good book. A book I would read, if I wasn't dead. I hope I don't die until I'm old though. I atleast want my mom and dad to be dead before I die so they don't have to feel the pain of losing a child. No parent should ever have to know the pain of losing their child. No parent should have to bury their child six feet under. But if my parents do I hope they bury in my pajama's with my hair pulled back in a bun. I want it to be like I'm sleeping. I want it to be open casket and I want everyone to sign my casket. And people that I don't know or didn't really like aren't allowed to come to my funeral. That's my pet peave.'
The officer had read every single sticky note. Most of them were little things she had wrote when she was studying. Some were notes her mom had left her, some were notes she had obviously been passing in class. There was also the few that Keyara had done nothing but drew hearts on. He was starting on the pieces of paper. The first one he picked up had a date on it, the same date she dissapeared. It read ' to do: Shower, get dressed, do hair, do make up, eat breakfast with mom, tell mom I love her and I'll see her after school, go to school, come home from school asap, grab snack, study, sleep, repeat until exams. Oh and I really need to gas up my car and practice my soccer and my football. And I need to get mom a birthday gift. Wow my life's busy. I also need to get on dad's girlfriends good side, everytime I see her she gives me this icy glare i feel like I'm going to turn to an iceburg. Maybe I should give her my blessing and some sort of good luck with me dad gift. I just hope she doesn't hate seems like she'd be a good person if she didn't look like she was going to rip my head off. Maybe I'll do that today. Get her a gift before I go to school and give it to her after first period when she's the teaching assistant in my history class.
" Ella I think I may have found something." The officer says.
" What is it?"
" Keyara wrote this this morning, it was her to do list and well you should read it."
" Okay" Ella takes it and reads it. " What does this mean?"
" It means I have to pay a visit to a Ms. Linnea Kipler." The officer says. "I'm going now. You should try to rest. I'll call if I find anything."
" Okay, yeah I'll try. But can you be honest with me here? Do you really believe Linnea has something to do with Keyara's dissapearance?" Ella asks.
" What's this about Linnea having something to do with Keyara?" Byron asks.
" I just found this Mr. Montgomery and I know how teenaged girls can over react so I was just going to talk to Linnea and hear her side of the story." The officer says.
" Can I read it?" Byron asks.
" Sure." The officer hands it over.
" I deffinately think Keyara was over reacting. Linnea won't even kill mosquito's she would never hurt Keyara. She already thinks of Keyara as a daughter she told me so before Keyara even went missing." Byron says. " But if you need to talk to her she's at my place."
" Thank you for your information Byron." Th police officer says taking the paper back and then leaving.
" Ella, I know Linnea didn't do anything to Keyara."
" I believe you Byron, I'm just worried and running on no sleep so if you don't mind I'm going to sleep here. You can sleep in my bed if you want or on the couch or I think there's a blow up mattress still blown up in the game room from the other night when Aubrey stayed here." Ella says.
" I'll take the blow up mattress. If it's the one I think it is it does my back wonders."Byron says.
" It is that one."Ella says.
Crawling under Keyara's blankets Ella's feet hit paper making a crinkling sound even Byron heard. Ella got outof hte bed and pulled off the blankets. There were five pieces of crinkled paper. Ella took one and unsquished it. Holding it in her hands Ella read the following words ' One foggy sunday evening when everyone in the city were in their houses with their families Kelsey Lauren was planning the murder of Miranda Kypling.' Ella took the next paper and so on. They were all similar. Keyara was just trying to write a story but didn't like the way they were turning out. There was one last piece of paper Ella took it in her hands unwarped it and read the following words ' Keyara you're smarter than I thought. Why don't you turn this into a story before someone (you) get hurt.' Ella gasped when she read the note.
" Byron read this!" Ella says handing paper to him. "Do you recognize the writting at all?" Ella asks?
" No I don't know who's writting it is. Do you?"
" No. But we have to call the officer who was here before. Call your house Linnea or someone will answer it and can tell him to come here." Ella says.
" Okay I'm calling now." Byron says pulling out his cell. " Hey Linnea, please tell me the officer is still there."
" Yeah he's just about to leave why?"
" Tell him we need him over right away we found something he should see."
" Okay I'll tell him. Hold on." ... " He's on his way. Did you know he was coming over to talk to me?"
" Yeah I told him you wouldn't hurt Key though. He just wanted to hear your side of the story."
" Yeah I told him everything I knew. I think Keyara just got the wrong impression from me. The one day I really saw her at school was the day my old friend who looked like Keyara a bit died and I was walking around like an angry person that day that's all." Linnea says.
" I know Linnea. I gotta go though, the officer just arrived."
" Ella? Byron?" " In Keyara's room!"
" Linnea said you found something?"
" Yes, we found this in Keyara's bed. Along with those but read this first then those." Ella says handing the officer the paper.
" Do you know who this could have been?"
" Not a clue. Neither of us recognize the writting." Byron says.
" Well it looks like Keyara was scared this person was going to kill her. Trying to write stories about a girl trying to murder another girl. I think it's safe to say that who ever sent the note to Keyara was a girl. What intreags me is that one of the character in the story's last name is the same as Linnea's but with a y instead of an i."
" Wait let me see that again."Ella says.
" Sure, here." The officer hand the paper over. Ella reads it over again.
" The other characters name is Kelsey Lauren. I remember telling Keyara that until she was born Byron and I wanted to name her Kelsey and Lauren is one of Keyara's middle names." Ella says.
" But why is Keyara portraying herself as the killer?" Byron asks.
" She's not, KL are initials of the person who sent her the note. Do you know anyone with those initials?"
" Not that come to mind, I'll look through our caller id though." Ella says.
" that's a good idea."
Ella practically ran down the stairs to her phone and started going through the contacts. After a half hour seach she ended up with nothing. Not a single person with the initials KL in the damn thing. Ella threw the phone across the living room the phone smashed apon hitting the wall. Ella sat down on the couch her head in her hands and just cried.
" no luck?" Byron asks.
" Wha- oh no not single KL in the damn thing." Ella says.
" Hey, we'll find her I promis you that. No mattter what, we'll find her."
" I know we will, my only question is will she be alive when we do." Ella says to Byron.
" I have an idea." The officer says.
" What?" Ella asks.
" We get a party together and search every inch of that school see if there's anything there. We didn't really search it thoroughly when we were there earlier."
" Okay, I'm going to call some of Keyara's friends they'll want to be part of this." Ella says pulling out her cell phone. " Hello Aubrey?"
" Ella have you found Keyara yet?"
" No but that's why I'm calling we're putting a search party together and searching every inch of the school do you want to join us?"
" Of course! I'll call Chelsea and Bridget too if you haven't already."
" No I haven't called them, it'd be great if you could. Then just meet up here as soon as you can."
" We'll all be there."
" Thanks Aubrey."
" Aubrey's calling Chelsea and Bridget for me but the three of them will be here. Byron call Aria, Mike, and Linnea. I'll call the school prinicpal then Jason." Ella says.
"Okay."
" I'll call the officers here." " Thanks."ella says dialing the prinicipal.
" Hello Ella have you found Keyara?"
" No but the officers want to search the school for anything so we're calling a party and we also need you to unlock the school and round up all the master keys so each group can have one." Ella says.
" Of course. I'll head there now and see you guy in a bit then."
" Thanks." Ella dials Jason.
" Ella have you found Keyara? I've been out all day searching the town for her but-"
" We haven't found her but we're putting together a party to search the school and I was calling to see if you wanted to join us?"
" I'll be there where do you want to meet?"
" Come to our place?"
" I'm on my way. Bye."
"Bye."
Fifteen minutes later all the police officers of Rosewood, Aria, Hannah, Spencer, Emily, Mike, Linnea, Jason, Aubrey, Chelsea, and Bridget were at Ella Montgomery's house getting ready to go to the school to search for Keyara. It's been almost two days since she disappeared. They all got into their cars and drove to the school where they split up into groups and each got a master key. Each group had an officer. Linnea, Byron, Ella, the lead officer, Ella, and Mike were one group. Aria, Hannah, Spencer, Emily and some other cop was another. Jason, Aubrey, Chelsea, Bridget, and another cop was a group. And the last group was made of the five remaining police officers and the principal.
Ella's group was up by the science labs, Aria's group near the caf, the group of cops were by the history and English classes, and Jason's group went to the basement. Each group had searched atleast five rooms. Ella opened the door to Keyara's biology class and they searched it no sign of her. Aria's group moved from the caf to the math rooms. The cops and principal were opening the last class in the hallway. Looking inside there was nobody but they still searched every inch of the 's group were making their way to the end of the basement, one room left. The science freezer, Jason opened the door and Aubrey, Chelsea, Bridget, and Jason all let our blood curtling screams, that they knew no doubt echoed through the school. The officer got on his radio ' We found her end of the basement in the science freezer. Call an ambulance.'
As soon as Ella heard that she turned around and ran she pulled the door to the basement open and ran to the end of the hallway. She ran into the room and saw her daughter blue, frozen, clutching onto a frozen dead pig. Tears were streamin down everyone's faces. The police officers shoved everyone out and within a few minutes the paramedics arrived they had to carry Keyara out of the basement and then put her on a gurney and rushed her out. Everyone rushed out behind them got in their cars and followed the ambulance. Reporters were already out of the school when Keyara was rushed out.
~ In the waiting room ~
The hospital waitng room was full of police officers, family members, and friends of Keyara Montgomery. They had been waiting for four hours now. Keyara didn't hae a heart beat and wasn't breathing when she was found, but everyone knows you're not dead until your warm and dead. It was possible Keyara's body shut everything down and basicly went into hibernation to save herself. It was rare but it was possible. Ella hadn't stopped crying since they found Keyara. Ella didn't think she'd ever get that image out of her head. Her baby girl not breathing nor her heart beating, her cold, blue, lifeless baby girl clutching onto the frozen dead pig.
" Keyara Madison Nichole Lauren May Montgomery?" A doctor asks.
" That's us." Byron says.
" You're daughter is a miracle, a living breathing miracle. Her body had sensed it was slowly freezing so her body slowly shut it's self down to save her. Most people don't believe in miracles but your daughter is proof. She'll make a full recovery. She's unconscious at the time being but she should wake up within the hour. She has an iv rehydrating her and another one that is giving her body nutrients." The doctor says.
" Thank you. Can we see her?" Ella asks.
" Yes you can, but please narrow it down to friends and family." The doc orders.
" Yes doc." Ella replies.
" Ella, we're glad Keyara's gong to be fine. The rest of my officers are going to head back to the station now."
" Thank you for helping us." Byron says shaking his hand.
" Aria, we're going to go now. We're glad Keyara's going to be okay."Spencer says.
" Thanks guys. See you at school tomorrow." Aria says.
" Byron as much as I'd love to see Keyara I'm really tired and I think you guys need to see her more than I do." Linnea says.
" See you at home." byron says giving Linnea a kiss.
" We can see her right?" Aubrey asks.
" Of course you guys are her friends she'll be glad to see you."Ella says.
" Well then I guess this is it." Aria says as she opens the door to Keyara's room.
From the second they walked in the room Ella was at the side of Keyara's bed holding her hand. She had a chair pulled up at the edge she was sitting in. After half an hour Keyara's eyelashes were fluttering and she could hear soft voices around her. One that was so familiar, her mother. Her mom was telling her to open her eyes. After a long battle Keyara opened her eyes.
" hey baby. how are you feeling?" Ella asks.
" mom?"
" Yeah baby?"
" Why am I in a hospital?"
" You don't remember the last two days.
" Last thing I remember was asking my biology teacher how he'd feel if someone disected his son. Why?"
" you were missing for nearly two days. We finally found you in the science freezer. Someone locked you in there." Ella says.
" Why? Who would do that to me?"
" I don't know. Do you know who wrote you that note telling you that you better turn the events into a story or you'd get hurt?" Byron asks.
" I don't remember that note." Keyara says.
" Okay baby. Well I'm going to go tell your doctor your'e up." Ella says.
" Aria, Mike?"
" Yeah Key?"
" I'm sorry I must have scared you so much. All of you." Keyara says.
" We're just glad you're okay." Mike says.
" Yeah well, I just feel usless. You've all been running around like headless chickens and now you find me and I can't remember a damn thing accept joking with my stupid biology teacher about disecing his son. I don't even know why I remember that because I don't even remember going to school that day. I'm just mad at myself." Keyara replies.
" Hey you have nothing to be mad at yourself for. You were locked in a freezer for nearly two day's I'm pretty sure it's okay." The doctor says.
" Ya well maybe in your eyes but in my eyes, no. But can you just whatever you want to say then release me from this place?" " You have to stay here over night is what I was going to say."
" I'm not staying here. I can't, I won't I have to go home. I don't even have to do that I'll go anywhere but here. I've spent most of my life in a hospital I don't nedd to be here. Heck you can lock me back in that freezer for all I care, I'm not staying here!" Keyara says frustrated.
" Hey Keyara you're staying here even if I have to tie y ou to that bed!" Bridget says. " You scared the hell out of me." Bridget adds.
" I already said I was sorry. Wait where's my stuff? I was in Biology right? Where'd my bag books and phone go?"
" A woman, the woman who locked you in the freezer came back up and told your teacher you weren't feeling well took your stuff and took off in your car." Ella says.
" Great go now I have no school bag, no phone, no car, and everything inside my car is gone too. Great, well that's just peachy!" Keyara says frustrated.
" It's okay we'll find your stuff." Aria says.
" I doubt that. Ugh, can you guys all just leave me alone? I don't want company anymore." Keyara asks.
" Of course, we'll leave you alone." Ella says then the Montgomery's all leave.
" Bye Key-Key." Aubrey, Chelsea, and Bridget all say.
" Bye guys."Keyara says as they leave. " Jase don't leave."
" Okay babe, what do you want me to do?"
" Lay with me? I'm still cold and I really just want to hug you." Keyara says moving over.
" Not going to say no to that." Jason says climbing under the blankets next to Keyara.
The two of them fell asleep within two minutes. Keyara woke up in the middle of the night and crawled out of bed 3 am to be exact. She unplugged herself from the machines and found where the doctors put her clothes. Keyara put her clothes on found a pen and paper and wrote a note for Jason. The note read ' Sorry I left, I just can't stand staying in the hospital any longer. I'm going searching for my car. First I'm going to the police station and telling them I'm glad they helped you guys stay strong while I was missing and then I'm going to head to Aubz house I know she will drive me around town in search for my car. Love you, Key-Key. '
Keyara walked right out of the hospital and straight to the police station. When Keyara walked in she got hugged by every single police officer, except detective Wilden. He glared at Keyara the whole time she was there. Finishing her thanks Keyara then walks out of the station and three blocks to Aubrey's house where Keyara grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them one at a time until Aubrey opened the window and called down to Keyara. Ten minutes later Aubrey and Keyara were driving around town looking for Keyara's car. Two hours later they found it. Keyara opened it, found the keys in the glove box and all her other things were in the car as well. Keyara grabbed her phone which was still alive and she saw she had 32 unread voice messages and 106 text messages.
Keyara's car was a little dirty so she took it to the 24 touchless car wash. After going through the car wash Keyara found an old rag in the trunk of her car and she dried off the last few spots that weren't quite dry. She then wiped the interior of her drove her car to Aubrey's house where she stayed the night and charged her phone. She listened to every single voice mail she had and ended up crying, the pain and fear in the voices echoeing through out her head. Keyara then read every text message. She replied to one and only one. Jason's he sent only one text message and it read ' i'll find you babe ' she replies saying ' you did baby, you found me I love you Jase. xox '
Finally after another hour Aubrey and Keyara both fall asleep at six in the morning. They slept the day away Aubrey's parents had gone out of town so nobody was there to tell them to get up. Waking up at three in the afternoon Keyara checked her phone three missed texts. All from Jason ' Babe your parents are here they're mad you left.' ' Key-Key your doctor doesn't care you left but still needs you to come over and sign your release forms.' ' Babe wake up and get over here, it's really awkward. Everyone is here to see you and you're not here.' Keyara replies ' omg so sorry baby! I'll just shower and put on my emergency clothes I have stored here at Aubz then drive over there. We found my car obviously other wise I wouldn't have my phone. Tell everyone the princess is coming.'
Keyara had a shower straightened her hair, then Keyara and Aubrey got dressed. They got into their cars and drove to the hospital. Keyara had on a pair of white skinny jeans that had tiara's all over them and a shirt that was pink with gold sparky letters across it saying PRINCESS and last but not least she had on a pair of gold pumps. Aubrey had on white skinny jeans with red kisses all over then a red shirt with black sparky letters across it saying sexy she had paired her outfit with a pair of black pumps. Aubrey had her hair in bouncy little curls. The sound of their pumps echoed through the relativly quiet halls.
" Hey, look who decided to join us." Byron says displeased.
" Byro-" Ella starts to say.
" Keyara I am so angry with you! Ho-" Byron starts yelling.
" Byron! Hunny she's a princess she'll do what she wants. Don't get mad at her she might cry." Linnea says.
" I wouldn't be talking Linnea, you're the skank!" Keyara shouts then storms out of the room.
Keyara rushed to her doctor signed her release papers and got into her car and begain driving away. Keyara didn't know where she was going and she didn't care. She couldn't stand Linnea, she absolutely hated her and Keyara needed a break from her life. Everyone no everything was smothering her. Keyara turned her car off in the middle of some abandoned road in the middle of a forest. She pulled out her phone she had a couple texts.
Byronto Keyara: What was that you have no right to call Linnea a skank.
Ella to Keyara: As much as I agree with you on what you said about Linnea it was wrong hunny, you should appologize.
Jason to Keyara: Babe you okay? Aubrey to Keyara: Hey Key I hope you're okay. You're right about Linnea, and she had no right to say those things about you.
Keyara to Byron: Yeah well I said them and I don't regret it. She was saying shit about me to incase you didn't hear. But why would you? Linnea's the only one who gets your attention.
Keyara to Ella: Well she said shit about me, I'm not appologizing for speaking the truth.
Keyara to Jason: I'm fine, just need to clear my head. God I just wish Linnea would drop dead, I hate her!
Keyara to Aubrey: I know, she's a fucking skank and my father can't see it because she has him wrapped around her pinky finger.
Keyara rested her head on her steering wheel and just listened to the birds chirping and the wind blowing through the trees. After a few minutes she decided that was one of her most favourite sounds. It sounded of peace, love, worship, trust, courage, non judging, and of wisdom. It was like everything made sense, her thoughts were interupted by the ringing of her phone. It was a call from Chelsea.
" Hello?" Keyara asks her voice full of irritation.
" Hey Key you're on speaker, we're all still in your hospital room..." Chelsea says.
" Yeah well I'm not. You guys can go anytime, I'm pretty sure someone is going to need that room." Keyara replies.
" Are you okay?" Ella asks.
" Just peachy." " Keyar-" Byron starts.
" No."
" Keyara give him a chance." Linnea says.
" Like I'd listen to anything he says, or anything you say for that matter."
" You-" Linnea starts yelling before being interupted.
" GOODBYE!" Keyara yells before hanging up.
Keyara threw her phone into her glove box and got out of her car locked it and she began to walk. She stumbled apon a nice little lake, it was like it was calling her. The nect thing she knew she had taken off her pumps, pants and top. She was in her bra and panties wading into the water. Soon enough she was swimming beneath the water. Her eyes open embracing the pain to see the beauty, the way some grains of sand sparkled under the water. Running out of breath Keyara swims up letting her head pop out from under the water. After a while Keyara got out of the water dried her hands on the leaves of a tree grabbed her clothes, shoes, and car keys and headed back to her car. She unlocked it and threw her clothes in then layed on the hood until she dried off then she got dressed.
Keyara to Jason: Are you at your place?
Jason to Keyara: No, but I can be in ten.
Keyara to Jason: Can you? I really want to just be in your arms.
Jason to Keyara: Yeah I'll leave the cafe now.
Keyara to Jason: Thanks I'll be there in like fifteen twenty minutes.
Keyara jumped into her car and sped down to Jasons house, pulling up to his house just as he was getting out of his car. Keyara shut her car off, grabbed her phone slid it into her pocket, locked her car, and ran over to Jason and pulled him into a big hug. Jason picked her up and spun her around gaver her a quick kiss and they walked into Jasons house.
" So where'd you disappear to?"
" I honestly don't know. I just drove for a while. I ended up on an old abandoned road in the woods, near a lake. I sat in my car listening to the birds and the wind then Chels called. I got frustrated my peace was ruined. I got out of the car and went for a dip in the lake then after I was done swimming and dried off I called you and now here I am."
" Was it beautiful in the forest."
" It was so beautiful and peaceful. It's now officially my second favourite place in the world."
" Where's your first?"
" In your arms." Keyara says wrapping Jasons arms around herself while still holding both his hands.
" That's my favourite place too."
" In your own arms?" Keyara asks.
" Duh!"
" Hey! what about my arms?"
" They're frakishly small."
" What? Are they really?"
" I'm kidding! My favourite place is in your arms. And you're arms are perfect."
" I love you Jason DiLaurentis."
" I love you Keyara Montgomery."
~ Three Days Later ~
Keyara was back at school and she had biology first thing on her first day back. She was anything but scared, she was ready for this. Walking to Bio Keyara took her seat next to Aubrey and began copying the notes she had missed into her note book. Ten minutes later she was done copying the notes and began working on the questions she had missed. Keyara was glad she and Aubrey came an hour early so Keyara could catch up. Keyara had handed in all her work before Mr. Banks even arrived to the class.
" Well Keyara we're glad you're back. We're disecting cow lungs today I just need to go down there and get their container."
" I'll go get them." Keyara replies.
" Are you sure?"
" Yeah I am fine going down there. Besides being down there might knock something in my brain loose."
" What do you mean?"
" I only remember parts of the last week before I got locked in there." Keyara replies grabbing the keys.
" Well be careful."
" I'll be fine." Keyara replies walking down to the basement.
Taking five minutes to get to the basement, and three more minutes to find the lungs. Keyara grabbed their heavy container walked out of the freezer and back to the science room, sitting the lungs on the front desk.
" See look I didn't get locked in it. I'm okay and people need to stop looking at me like everything is going to hurt me."
" I know you're right."
" Besides I bet you anything I was the one that managed to lock myself in there. I probably bumped the door shut or something." Keyara says taking her seat.
Biology flew by fast, the next class Keyara had was gym. They were doing basketball. Keyara wasn't great at that sport, she was short and didn't have very good aim. She was fast though she used that to her advantage. Soon enough she had strenghtened her skills and became a better basketball player. The next class flew by so fast Keyara could barely even remember what they did.
" Hey Keyara!" Spencer yells.
" Oh hey Spence."
" So Hannah, Emily, Aria and I are going to Philli to go shopping you want to come?"
" Are you sure I don't want to intrude on your friend time."
" We're sure, you're are friend to you know."
" Good, um I'll just grab my stuff then we'll go?"
" Yeah. I heard you found your car."
" Yeah, Aubrey and I found it."
" Did the police search it?"
" No,I told them there's no need."
" But there is someone tried to kill you."
" Not neccesarily, the cops can't prove it and I don't remember it. I could have easily bumped the door shut on accident."
" Well what about the person saying you weren't feeling well?"
" I could have told that some someone who saw me walking through the halls, instead of telling them I was picking up a dead pig to disect." " Okay."
" It doesn't matter anyway, I'm fine and I couldn't care less of how I got locked in there."
" That's good I guess."
" It is. So um I'll just follow you guys in my car?"
" We were just going divy up and take two cars. Me and Hannah were going to ride with you if that's okay?"
" Yeah um I'm parked just over there." Keyara points to her car then notices she has a note under the windsheild. " Why don't you go get Hannah and meet me here?"
" Sure, see you in a few."
Keyara walked to her car and grabbed the note. ' I see you're buddy buddy with Aria and her friends, well just know that someone always gets hurt. Just look at where Alison is. -A'
