" Hello?" Linnea asks.
" Linnea it's Keyara."
" Oh hi Keyara."
" Don't play all sweet and innocent with me. If you do recall I remember everything from the night I was lockd in the freezer. I know you'll do anything to hurt me so I know you have Aubrey." Keyara says in an anger filled hushed voice.
" You're a lot smarter than I thought I'll give you credit for that. And for your little friend Aubrey well-"
" I'll make a deal with you. You tell me where Aubrey is and as soon as I know she is safe I'll call the cops telling them I found her. I won't tell them about you and then you can do what ever you want with me just leave my friends and family out if it. This is just you and me."
" I'll take the deal she's locked in the basement of the abandoned building near the cafe." Linnea says then hangs up. Keyara walks into the house and says:
" I'm going for a drive around town see if anything catches my eyes."
" Okay you do that we're going to keep going through your pictures." The officer says.
Keyara grabbed her keys ran out ot her car and drove over to the cafe parked in it's lot and looked around for the abandoned building. After a few minutes of looking around for it Keyara ran across the gravel in her bare feet to the abandoned building. She ran throught the building cutting the bottom of her feet on rusted nails, glass, and rocks. Finally she reached the basement and found Aubrey. Keyara dropped to Aubrey's side and shook her.
" Keyara what are you doing here?" Aubrey asks.
" You were kidnapped and put here. Do you remember who did it?"
" Yeah that girl your dad's dating. Linnea"
" Okay good, but you have to tell the cops you don't remember."
" What why?"
" For the same reason I told everyone I didn't remember who locked me in the freezer."
" Wait she did that to you?"
" Yes, but it doesn't matter. We can't turn her in because it will cause more problems. Just don't worry about yourself, I will get this under control. Do you know where your car is?"
" Yes it's around the back of this building."
" Okay you're going to come upstairs I'm going to call your mom their's a cop there so he'll be here soon."
" I don't get it if Linnea tried to kill you and me why are you helping her? We could put her in jail!"
" We can't though. This is between me and her. She makes my dad happy and as much as I despise her I know that if my dad found out I said it was her he would be so mad at me. Linnea is just trying to hurt me. If you weren't my friend this wouldn't have happened. Please don't tell the cops, please Aubz for me. I'm going to fix this somehow just say you don't remember who it was."
" Okay, I promise."
Keyara helped Aubrey upstairs where they waited five minutes for the cops. Aubrey got into her car and drove to the station behind the cop car. Keyara following not far behind Aubrey. After half an hour of filling out paper work and answering the cops questions Keyara got into her car and drove to an empty parking lot where she called Linnea who told Keyara to meet her at the old paper mill just outside of Rosewood. Taking half an hour to drive there Keyara got out of her car and walked into the mill meeting up with Linnea.
" Keyara I'm suprised with you."
" What do you mean?"
" I would have thought you and your little friend would have turned me in. Or you'd atleast show up here with a cop."
" Linnea you know that this is between me and you, nobody else."
" Oh I know this is bitch vs bitch a fight to the death. May the biggest bitch win." Linnea says.
" Well let's just see if your bite is as weak as your bark." Keyara says.
" Says the girl in her pajama's."
" Yeah well I'm in my pajama's because I actually care about people unlike you. First you try to kill me, then my friend, and now back to me. So go ahead take your best shot at me. I'm the one you want gone." Keyara says.
Linnea then runs at Keyara catching her off guard tackling her down. Linnea threw Keyara a few good hard punches in the face. Keyara punched Linnea really hard in her face, breaking Linnea's noce and Keyara's hand. Keyara rolled the two over so she was on top she threw a few good hard punches to Linnea in the face and gut. Linnea pushed Keyara off her and jumped up. The two began throwing and blocking punches. Linnea shoved Keyara into a metal pole and went to punch her in the face, when Keyara ducked and Linnea smashed her hand into the post breaking her hand as well. Linnea ran up a latter and pushed a large cement block off the tower. The block would have landed right on Keyara's head if she hadn't jumped out of the way. The cement block landed on Keyara's left leg. Keyara screamed in agony, taking all the strenght she had Keyara pushed the block off her leg. She got up and hobbled over to Linnea who had since then climbed down the latter and headed to the entrance of the building. Keyara got to Linnea and shoved the woman over a metal barrel, Linnea flipped over the barrel and landed awkwardly on her arm.
The sound of Linnea's arm snapping echoes through the paper mill. Keyara hobble-runs out of the building and towards her car. Linnea catches up to her in no time and pushes Keyara forward. Keyara smashes her head on her car bumper and then gets up into her car and drives herself to the hospital where she hobbles into the lobby and passes out. When Keyara awoke she opened her eyes to see her family surrounding her. Ella, Byron, Aria, Mike, Aubrey, Chelsea, Bridget, Jason, and Linnea.
" Hey honey. You're up!" Ella says.
" I need to talk to Linnea alone. Now." Keyara says.
" Honey we have to get your doctor to look at you first."
" No, I need to talk to Linnea now!" Keyara says sternly.
" Okay everyone out I guess." Byron says.
" Keyara what do you want?" Linnea asks.
" I need to know the story. What are we telling everyone?"
" That you were driving around town to clear your head when a hooded man attacked you. I stumbled upon the attack and tried to help you. After a hard fight the man ran away." Linnea says.
" Okay."
" You can go get everyone."
" Keyara this is doctor Hamilton, he's your doctor for today." Ella says.
" Keyara it looks like you have a broken right hand, and a broken left leg. You have a few bruised ribs and you have might mean black eye."
" When can I leave?" Keyara asks.
" As soon as you fill out this paper." The doctor replies handing Keyara her release forms.
" There." Keyara looks at her mother. " Now can we go?"
" Yeah baby let's go home." Ella replies.
Keyara gets out of the hospital bed and grabs her beg of things she goes to the washroom got dressed then walked out. She grabbed her crutches and left the hospital as fast as she could she got into her car and drove to hers and Ella's home. Parking the car then getting out Keyara crutched into the house and sat on the living room couch.
" Key, hunny the police are here they want to hear your side of the story."
" Keyara?" The officer asks.
" Yeah let's get this over with I want to go to bed."
" Okay you tell me what happened.
" Well after I found my friend Aubrey we went to the station and I answered some questions. My head was still full of jumbled up stuff so I decided to take a drive. I don't even know where I was. That didn't matter, all that mattered was thatr Aubrey was safe. I turned my car off and got out to get the fresh air. I don't know I guess maybe the same person that attacked Aubrey attacked me. Maybe the person saw me get Aubrey. I don't know. But I fought the person as hard as I could. Then Linnea found us and she tried to help me. Some luck that did. I don't know why but the attacker ran away. Maybe the attacker thought we were going to die soon anyway. I don't know but he left and I got into my car and drove myself to the hospital." " Do you know what your attacker looked like?"
" No, they had a dark hoodie on I couldn't see."
" Do you know if it was a man or a woman?"
" No, I have no idea. I was pumping with adreneline I wasn't really paying attention."
" No that's good. Well I better let you get some rest. If you remember anything else you call me."
" Sure thing." Keyara says.
Ella gives Keyara a hug before Keyara walks up the stairs and into her room where she chnages into pajama's and climbs into her her bed. Keyara's cell phone lights up showing she has a new text. Keyara reaches for it with her good hand and opens the text message. ' Looks like you have more secrets than I thought. Tell your parents everything you know about Linnea or I will.-A' Keyara deletes the message and goes to bed forgetting all about it. Keyara woke up for school with her hot pink cast on her arm and gold airwalk cast. The airwalk cast for her leg was origionally grey but she took it off and spray painted it gold. So for school that day Keyara put on her black tight short skirt and a sparkly gold tank top tucked in. Since she couldn't wear heels she put on one sparkly gold flat. She then curled her hair and did her make-up before heading down stairs.
" Hey you're up."
" I've been up for two hours. It took me an hour to get dressed and an hour to do my hair and make up." " Well I didn't make breakfast but there are still the muffins."
" Do we have any blueberry left?"
" Yeah, in the muffin holder."
" Good, their my favourite."
" I know, so do you think that you being locked in a freezer, Aubrey being kidnapped, and you being attacked are linked?"
" No, why do you?"
" I was just wondering."
" I doubt they mean anything. Probably just kids expirementing."
" With living breathing human beings?"
" You never know mom. I'm going to go to school now though."
" Was your foot cast always gold?"
" No I took it off earlier and spray painted it this colour. It looks better." Keyara replies.
" I see. Well I'll see you in English later."
" Actually I was thinking about skipping English, it's the last class and now you're my teacher so you can just give it to me at home today."
" No skipping my class."
" Skip? Okay, thanks mom." Keyara shouts behind herself before rishing out the door and driving off before her mother can get another word in.
Keyara had gym first thing so she rushed to the change rooms and got into her gym uniform before anyone could see her and ask her what the hell she was doing. She went to the coach and eventually convinced him to let her play volleyball with the rest of class. She was with him in the gym training a bit before the rest of the class came in and they set up four teams to play two games. Aria and Keyara were on the same team playing with four other players against Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and three others. Keyara was setter. Even with her broke arm she was doing perfect sets.
Rotating a few times Keyara was in the back now. Spencer spiked the ball down, Keyara dove and got the ball back up in the air for Aria to set and then a guy by the name Tyler spiked the ball getting their team the winning point. Keyara got off the floor and their team came together in a group hug. They teams switched up so they were playing a different team. Keyara's team was against the next best team. One girl hated Keyara so much was switched onto Keyara's team replacing Aria. Later on in the game a guy named Gordan spiked it down really hard and fast, Keyara dove for it. As she dove for the ball the girl who hated Keyara dove as well 'accidently' landing on Keyara shoving her into the floor smacking her head first, and her body second. Keyara was out cold. Aria ran out of the gym and to the coach office where she called for an ambulance for Keyara. By the time the paramedics arrived half of the school was in the gym. There was small pool of blood around Keyara's head. They put a neck brace on Keyara before rolling her onto the stretcher and rushed her out the gym and right by Ella's class. Ella saw a glimps of Keyara being rushed by and ran out of the class room, running straight into Aria.
" Aria what happened?"
" We were in gym and-"
" Why was she even doing gym? She's not suppose to."
" Mom, it's Keyara do you really think she would have let anyone stop her? We were playing volleyball she and another girl both dove for the ball. The other girl accidently kind of tackled Keyara. Keyara hit the gym floor head first and has been out cold ever since." Aria replies as the two jump into the back of the ambulance.
~ Five hours later ~
Keyara's eyes finally fluttered open, again she could tell just by the smell she was in the hospital. Keyara didn't want to talk to anybody she was pissed. It seemed like no matter what she did she always ended up in the hospital. So she rolled over pulled the sheets above her head and fell back asleep, hoping to god that maybe when she woke up she'd be on a beach with Alison. She would give anything to see her face one more time, to have one more conversation with Ali. But as soon as she fell asleep she woke back up again.
" Hey, look who's up again." Ella says.
" Go away." Keyara replies.
" Hunn-"
" GO AWAY!" Keyara yells.
" Keya-"
" EVERYONE JUST GO! LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO OR SEE ANY OF YOU!" Keyara yells before throwing her pillow on the floor.
" I suggest you do as Keyara said." The doctor says and files everybody out before he himself left as well.
" Wait doc, I need to talk to you for a minute." Keyara says.
" Okay what do you need Keyara?"
" When am I allowed to leave?"
" In an hour."
" Okay, is there any chance you can let me go now?"
" Only if you promise not no be in my emergency room for atleast three months." " I promise." Keyara says signing her release papers.
Keyara got changed and walked to the school where she got her cell phone and home work then got in her car and drove back to the house where the sescond she walked in she was being babied. She stomped up the stairs and locked herself in her room. Keyara began texting Jason, after an hour she got the idea to run away with Jason. She was tired of everyone treating her like a baby, like she would fall into a million pieces if the wind blew. She changed into a good outifit and ran down the stairs to her car and drove to Jasons.
" Hey babe." Jasons says.
" Hey, I have an idea but you have to be really open minded."
" I'll do it."
" I didn't even ask yet."
" I know but I love you so what ever it is I'm there."
" I love you too Jase. I was going to ask if you wanted to run away from Rosewood with me?"
" That's crazy!"
" I know it is Jason, but I can't stand being here anymore. I can't do anything without someone obessing over me like I'm going to get hurt! My mom almost called 911 when I stubbed my toe. I just need to get away from Rosewood for a while but I need you with me."
" Okay, I'll do it. When?"
" Good, tomorrow at lunch. We leave the school so I can pack up my stuff then we can go."
" Okay but what about school what are you going to do?"
" I'm going to talk to all my teachers tomorrow and tell them I'm planning on taking my mother on a surprise vacation for a month and ask for the homework. I'll make sure they don't say a word to my mom and then we go to my place and pack up my things. You should pack your stuff up tonight."
" Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow."
" Yeah, oh um do you have a big suit case I can have?"
" Yeah I have a big black one you can take. I'll get it from the attic."
A few minutes later the two were placing the suit case in Keyara's car trunk before she drove back to the house and started to get things ready for their trip. Keyara gathered all her make up into the travel kit she had gotten for christmas, and all her hair products packed up in plastic ziploc bags so they couldn't leak when she put them in her duffle bags. Keyara also put her purfumes into plastic ziploc bags sothey too wouldn't leak. Keyara then washed adn dried all her dirty clothes, then put them in her closet and dresser so they would be ready for when she packed them. Finally Keyara went to bed.
Keyara's alarm woke her up at six thirty, Keyara got up had a shower, did her hair, did her makeup, got dressed, and met up with her mom down stairs. Ella made crepes for breakfast. Keyara had a crepe then got her purse and car keys and drove to school. Keyara met up with Chelsea, Aubrey, and Bridget and told them her plan. She made them promise not to tell a soul, that she was going to get a new phone to text them with. She also told them she would buy a burner phone to text her mom she was okay.
Keyara blasted her music through her car speakers on her drive to school. She stopped at the cafe where her moms boyfriend Zach worked. Keyara went in and got a pumpkin spice tea. She had half an hour until she usually arrived at school so she sat down. Ella then walked in and said hi to Zach got a coffee then sat down with Keyara. Keyara knew she would miss her mom when she left so she got Zach to take a picture of her and Ella. Taking her phone Keyara said she had to head to school she was going to meet up with Aubrey. Keyara got in her car, put her roof down, put on Starstruck by Lady Gaga on, and then turned the music up really loud before speeding off. Keyara pulled up to the school turned off her music and put her roof back up grabbing her tea, purse, and phone before she locked her car. Keyara met up with Aubrey and they talked for a bit before they headed off to class.
The first half of the day went by fast and quite easily. Keyara got her homework for the month and put in her car before meeting up with Jason in the courtyard. Jason got into his car and drove behind Keyara to her house. The two arrived at the house within five minutes. Jason grabbed the large suit case out of Keyara's trunk before following her up to her room. Jason helped fold and pack all her clothes into the large suit case and three duffle bags. It then took three duffle bags for all of her hair products and perfume. She had her shoes put in medium sized suit case. The two them brought everything down to Keyara's car. The suit cases, her make-up bin, and three of the duffle bags fit in her trunk. The other two duffle bags Keyara put under her back seats. Keyara then went back to the house grabbed her song book and laptop putting them in the consol drawer. She went back in a third time so she could grab her wallet and then she went to the cookie jar her mom put money in for when Keyara wanted to go buy junk food. Then she got into her car, Jason got into his and they began driving. Where to, they didn't know. They stopped in Philly to get some gas. This is where Keyara got her burner phone, for later.
Three hours later they were in a hotel in some hicktown. That's when she texted her mother. ' Mom, it's me Keyara. I'm fine, don't call the cops for a search party for me. I just needed to leave town for a while I swear I'm okay and I will be okay the whole time. I took all my stuff with me and I'll be fine. I just couldn't stand being stuck in Rosewood anymore. I couldn't stand the people there either. I took my homework from school I'll send it all to you for you to hand it in for me. I love you please know that. I just need time for myself to think. Everytime I left my room back home someone would be looking at me like if a single speck of dust landed on me I would fall to pieces. I'm sick of everyone treating me like a baby. I can take care of myself. And when the teachers see you at school tomorrow just tell them that you decided it should just be me on the vacation. I kinda told them that I was treating you to a month long vacation so that way they'd give me my homework. This is the last time you'll hear from me in a while because I'm not going to use my old phone. I actually already cancelled the plan. This is a burner phone I bought just so I could send this message to you. Remember I love you. xox Keykey.'
Half an hour later Keyara got a reply to her text from her mother. ' Keyara I'm glad your safe but I am so mad at you. I think running away was not the answer to your problems. Come home soon.- Mom' Keyara sighed and replied ' Mom I am not running away. Think of it as moving, like a Nomad. Don't worry anyways I have all my money and the cookie money, plus I'm with my boyfriend. You have nothing to worry about. I'm just going on a month long vacation. I miss and love you.-Keykey'
The next morning Keyara looked at the phone and had a new message from her mother 'I didn't know you had a boyfriend. Please message me onelast time in the morning?-mom' Keyara quickly typed ' Yes I've had the same boyfriend since before I was released from the hospital into your care. I really can't text you anymore mom. Bye. Love you. xox Keykey' Keyara then woke Jason up and they got dressed. Keyar then ran the burner phone over with her phone as the two began driving on to their next stop. They stopped five towns later, getting gas and Keyara got a new iPhone, she programmed Jasons number into it along with Aubrey, Chelsea, and Bridgets. She then texted them each saying she had her new phone and she was doing good.
Keyara transfered all her pictures and music from her old cell onto her new one. Her and Jason went to a nice little cafe and bought all their muffins, Jason also got a coffee and Keyara got her pumpkin spice tea. They split the muffins between their cars and began driving again. Soon enough it was dark and they pulled into an old lodge. They got a room and stayed there the night. In the morning Keyara checked her phone. She had a five texts from Aubrey, three from Chelsea, and four from Bridget.
Aubrey: 1) Hey Key I'm gald your okay. 2) We still keep our promise not telling your mom anything 3) Text me in the morning when you can. 4) Text me soon Keyara I miss you loads. 5) Damn you must have stayed up late still text me soon.
Bridget: 1) We're all glad you're safe Keyara. 2) You're mom doesn't knokw we're in touch we'll all keep it that way. 4) We all love and miss you. 5) Text me when you can Keyara.
Chelsea: 1) Good, I'm glad you and Jason are safe. 2) You're mom will stay in the dark as long as you want her too. 3) Text me soon.
Keyara sent a group text to the three girls saying ' hey my girls. I just woke up and I'm getting dressed. Jason and I are going to head back out on the road soon. Yes please continue keeping my mother in the dark. If she asks you anything just say you're sure I'll be fine. That you know my boyfriend will keep me safe. I love all of you girls. xox'
Three days later Jason and Keyara were at their destination. They were in Homestead, both found jobs there. Keyara was modeling for the Homestead Clothing Line, Jason was working at the highschool doing the same thing he did back in Rosewood. They found a nice apartment in the centre of the town. Keyara even started going to school there. She called the Rosewood highschool and told them to fax her school records to the fax machine at her new school. She was a top student there already. She made new friends and joined their group, the popular girls.
" Key, what are you doing after school today?" Keyara's new friend Sasha asks.
" I have to go to work for a few hours."
" Well after work you do want to come to my place?"
" Sure Sash, I'd love to." " Sash, Key!" Aimee says walking up.
" Hey Aims." The two say.
" What are you two doing after school."
" I'm going to work for a few hours then going to Sash's house."
" ohh Sash can I come over too?" " Of course. The three of us are best friends we need to be together like all the time!"
" Hey girls." Jason says walking up behind Keyara.
" Hey babe, after work today I'm going to Sasha's to hang out with her and Aimee k?"
" Yeah I was just going to ask if you didn't mind if I went to Rosewood for a week."
" Sure, why?"
" I got a call from the school they need me there for the week. They have truth up day during then and they really need me to help. Plus they don't know you're here with me." Jason says.
" Okay yeah, I'll be fine go save Rosewood teens. But you can't talk to Aubz, Chels, or Bridge too much. They told me my mom is onto you. If she see's you talking to them she'll know. If she talks to you about me just tell her that you haven't heard from me. She doesn't know we're dating, use it as your advantage."
" I will, love you."
" Love you too, bye." Keyara says giving Jason a kiss before heading off to her last class.
Soon enough school was over Keyara packed up her books from trig and headed to her locker. She put her books away and got into her car driving to her job. Where they took her and imediately curled her hair did her make-up and got her into a pair of white skinny jeans with a peach chiffon tanktop with blue and purple flowers on it. She also had put on a few long necklaces a pair of earings and a pair of pink and orange pumps. They took a few pictures of her posing in that outfit. They also took pictures if her in about five other outifits before she and her partner Dylan had to do the swimwear pictures. Right before she was about to leave the editor of Seventeen Magazine showed up and said they wanted to put Keyara on the cover and do an article on her.
They took Keyara down to their studio where they toko her right away for some of the shooting. She put on a pair of regular blue jean denim short shorts, She had on black pumps, a black bandeau and a hot pink chiffon mid arm sleeve shirt. They brushed out her curls and took off her make up then applied their own. Making sure they put on mascara that would run right down her face. They then went to a back room where they could make it 'rain'. She stood under the rain and did her poses while getting soaked. Her mascara running down her face. Next they blow dried her hair and gave it gentle waves. They re-did her make-up and then she changed into a hot pink bikini and matching bottoms. They gave her a pair of flip flops to wear then they drove her to the beach. They took pictures of her laying in the sand, of her eating icecream, and of her in the water. Finally for their last shoot they went to her apartment where Keyara had a shower blow dried and then straightened her hair and got into an outfit of her choice. She put on tight white dress with different colours splattered all over it. She then put on a pair of neon purple high heels, a few necklaces, earings, and a few bracelets. They took pictures of her laying across her kitchen counter and of her opening the fridge. After the photo shoot was done they interviewed questions consisted of her name, age, where she grew, up, and just different things about her. After they left she drove over to Sasha's house. Sasha, Aimee, and Keyara watched a movie and then they gossiped for a while. Keyara then drove to the apartment and went to bed.
